Railroad Rumors.

A gentleman from Oregon who
recently visited the East, returned
a few days ago, and concerning the
TIE proposed extension Of the Chi
cago. Burlington & Quincy line to
the coast, said to a representative
of the Union Republican that while
en- route he chanced to converse
with railroad engineer on the c.
B. & Q, When he informed the
engineer he was from Grand Ronde
valley the engineer said though he
had never been in Grand Ronde,
and knew nothing about it, yet he
would soon become familiar with
this section, as he was running a
railroad survey and his instructions
were to the effect that Grand Ronde
valley was on his route; but when
questioned further the engineer
would have nothing more to say,
stating that he could not make
public the intentions of his conf
pany. 1t is SUPPOSED, howeveri
that it is the c. B. & Q. railroads
and that the plan is to build from
the Yellowstone Park, where they
now are, to Boise, thence to Eagle
valley and via Catherine creek pass
to Union; and thence on the Hunt
survey to tidewater, or perhaps
across the Cascade mountains over
connections with the Oregon Pacific
road. d.-Ex,

following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That we demand con-

possible date for the purpose of re-

If that isn't a plain case of stealing
populist thunder we don't know
what it Is.
