back the council last evening passed
a resolution granting such permis-
sion to the company.
Councilman Durbin first called the
attention of the council to the matter.
He stated that Superintendent Page
had indicated to him that the COM
pany desired to take up its track on
Twelfth street and move it to Thir-
teenth and he wondered If granting
them the permit asked for might con-
fer upon them such right. City At
torney Corby advised him that the
city would forfeit no rights with re-
lation to the company by granting
the permit.
Mayor Lachmund stated that Cen
eral Manager Hill had advised him
that the company intended to lay
down a new tIhck on Twelfth street
and that in view of this he did not
believe that company would, If pos
sible, avail itself of an opportunity to
move the track from Twelfth street.

ARE AFTER
A ROAD TO
The ALSEA
PROMINENT MEN FROM ALSEA
VISIT ALBANY AND OFFER IN
JUDGEMENTS FOR A RAILROAD
BETWEEN THE TWO POINTS.

Messrs. Wade Malone and G. T.
Vernon, of Alsea, the former a re-
tired merchant, and the latter a real
estate dealer, two of the most influen-
tial citizens of that place, were in the
city yesterday on business of great
importance to both the people of the
Alsea country an dthe city Of Albany,
if we'll authenticated rumors are to
be relied upon, says the Albany Her
aid
The Herald learned this morning
from excellent authority, though not
official, that these gentlemen came to
Albany for the express purpose of n
conference with the Albany & Inter-
urban Railroad company, majority
of the officials of which are residents
of this city.
Messrs. Malone and Vernon, It is
rumored, came to Albany in deadly
earnest after railroad connections,
and voluntarily pledged and offered
to execute contracts for tonnage Of
sufficient volume to justify the In
terurban people in considering the
feasibility of building line into the
Alsea country AS a matter of fact,
these gentlemen were ready to pledge
over 200, 900, 900 feet of timber haul
age, which if distributed on time
basis, would amount to 40 cars of
capacity tonnage a day for a period
Of five years.
While the lnterurban officials in
this city will confirm none of these
rumors, which the Herald has been
able to gather up, yet Vice-President
]. NJ. Hawkins admitted this morning
that his company had agreed to a
conference with a committee of Alsea
people on the question of possible ton
mage in that vicinity, for the reason
that the timber and other interests
in the Santiam district, through
which the Albany G. Interurban have
already completed a survey, seemed
somewhat Indifferent in the matter
of securing the proposed road.
When asked if there was a rea-
sonable possibility that the route OF
the proposed road via Corvallis and
the Alsea country, he merely said
that this was a question that de-
pended upon the volume of business
that might be guaranteed the road
and was a matter wholly up to the
people.

10 a metropolitan audience.

The COUNCIL
ARRANGED
FOR PAVING
LIBERTY WILL BE FINISHED
WITH BITULITHIC AND BEL
MONT, NEBRASKA, F AND PROB
ABLY SUMMER WILL GET A
TOPPING OF EL.OSO.

The Warren Construction company
was awarded the contract for the
paving of Liberty street with btu
lithic last evening by the council, and
they will commence just as soon as it
is possible. The bid was S1.S5 per
square yard, and there goes with it
guarantee that the company will keep
the street in good condition for a
period of five years.
A bid to pave Summer street with
El-oso pavement was received from
the Universal Construction company,
but, as some of the items contained
in it seemed high, 1t was referred to
the street committee for considera-
ton, upon the motion of Councilman
Lafky, chairman ( that committee.
A petition from property owners
on Belmont, F and Nebraska streets,
asking that they be paved with FL
oso, and waving all rights of remon-
STRANGE was presented and granted,
and the engineer was instructed to
prepare the necessary plans and spec
ifications.
Plans and specifications were
adopted for the paving of Twenty-first
street from Asylum avenue to State
street with concrete, and also for the
paving of Court street with the same
kind of a pavement. After an amend
ment the specifications for improving
D street were adopted, but those pno-
viding for the paving of Chemeketa

Pen Picture of General Lee and of
President jefferson Davis.

Our most illustrious caller that
spring was the commander-in-chief
of the Army of Northern Virginia.
General Lee came one evening, and,
after a pleasant talk with my mother
and me, arose to go, we escorting him
to the front door. 1t was broad
moonlight, and 1 recall as if it were
yesterday, the superb figure of our
hero standing in the little porch
without, saying few last words as
he swung his military cape around his
shoulders. 1t did not need my fervid
imagination to think him the most
noble-looking mortal had ever seen.
AS he swept off his hat for a second
and final farewell, he bent down and
kissed me, as he often did the girls
he had known from childhood. At
that time General Lee was literally
the idol of the Confederacy. His
moral grandeur, recognized by all,
lifted him into the region where
envy, nor calumny, nor hate, nor
pain" ventured to assail him. We
felt, as he left us and walked off up
the quiet, leafy street in the monn-
light, that we had been honored as by
more than royalty.
We went often to Mrs. Davis re-
ceptions, where the president never
failed to say kind words in passing.
and sometimes to tarry for a pleasant
chat. Always grave, always boxing
as If he bore the sorrows of 2 world
he was invariably courteous and some
times playful in his talk with very
young women. These entertainments
of Mrs. Davis, held in the evening,
between limited hours hours, were at
tended by every one not in deep
mourning. The lady of the Confed-
crate White House, while not always
sparing OF witty sarcasms upon those
who affronted her, could be depended
upon to conduct her salon with ex-

After lively little scrap, in which
almost every councilman took hand,
the council last evening rescinded its
action in ordering cement sidewalk
on Miller street, from Commercial to
Rock, and a plank walk will be laid
instead.
The council at meeting a week
ago passed a resolution directing that
cement sidewalk be laid along the
street. Last evening a remonstrance
was presented, and, while a remon-
STRANGE against the construction of a
sidewalk is unavaillng, save as a re-
quest, the majority of the councilmen
were with the demonstrators, and
they won out.
Variou sreasons were urged by the
demonstrators against the construc-
tion OF cement sidewalk, but the
principal one urged by the council
men favoring their cause was that
they were poor people, and unable to
pay for It. Councilman Elliott was
favorable to a cement sidewalk, and
fought for it, and so did Councilman
Lafky.
In answering the argument made
by the councilmen, Councilman Lafky
stated that most of those opposing
cement walks had been content for
the past 40 years without any walks
at ALL and they were taking the at
titude that what was good enough
40 years ago was good enough now
that they were generally opposed to
public improvement.
Councilman Elliott stated that the
city was far behind in up-to-date
walks, and that when the proper
time came he would favor the passage
of an ordinance requiring cement
walks to be installed in all portions
of the city-favor an ordinance which
would put it in a class with other
modern cities.
Other Matters Transacted.
A remonstrance was also received
with relation to the laying Of a ce-
ment sidewalk on Oak and Liberty
streets, and it was referred to the
committee on streets.
r. G. Hallberg represented to the
council that he had built bridge
across Mill creek at Twenty-third
street, and desired that the council
refund him half of the cost of the
bridge It was referred to the COM
mittee on bridges,
Councilman Sauter stated that the
approaches to the steel bridge we're
in a bad condition, and that Judge
Bushey's attention had been called
to the fact, and that he had agreed to
take the subject up with the county
Judge Of Polk county, and have them
repaired.
pSuIiOh loT d uIluSe dCIosS MIL
creek at Twenty-second street, near
Shelton, was referred to the bridge
committee.
A resolution for the construction
OF REINFORCED concrete abutments for
the bridge across Mil creek on Four
teenth street was adopted.
The Union street sewer district was
created, and a sewer will be con-
structed in it for the purpose of re-
lIeving the Marion and Court street
sewers.
Chemical Engineer Simpson, of the
fire department. rendered his resigna-
tion, and It was accepted.
