The piece ends with smallpox confirmations and quarantine actions affecting residents.
G W Hunts party of surveyors has finished work in Wendleton and returns to Walla Walla. Hunt plans to press for right of way and a depot, warning Pendleton residents not to become complacent as the railroad appears likely but not assured. He urges Pendleton property owners to act quickly to secure the route.
In response to warnings, Mayor Thompson convened the health board to enforce precautions. The piece notes arrests for theft by three Chinese men, a missing person report about F. M. Hedger, and Judge J D Laman promoting a railroad proposal while describing a recent heavy rain and ensuing mild Maylike weather.
