Tillamook, July 21st, 188D. Editor Astebiak: Having the honor of being a member of a committee that was appointed at a recent meeting of the citizens of this county, said committee to ascertain as far as practicable, the possibility of a railroad connection with Astoria and the Willamette valley, I am pleased to say that circulars have been prepared, des criptive of a practicable route through the county, together with the probable amount of local business to such a line. But pending their printing and distri bution, I would respectfully call the attention of Astoria and the people of the South Coast Railroad, that in their choice (as we learn,) of a route, via up per Nehalem. in preference to the much easier one via Tillamook, they will find it to be committing one of the greatest errors in railroad con struction in the nerthwest: errors not only in cost, but in time also. Be sides it taps a country the upper Ne halem, whose possible area and popula tion can never exceed the one-tenth of that of this county, to say nothing about the almost inexhaustible product of tim ber that is destined to become a factor of great importance to a line traversing this county. Our population has nearly trebled with in the last four years and at present rates of increase will treble again in the near future. And as to products, give us a railroad nnd we will become the banner county of the state, in the growing and exporting of all crops adapted to the coast. As to n route from Seaside, having crossed nearly the whole of it myself sev eral times, I am prepared to say that after the engineer crosses the low divide back of Onion Peak, near the head waters of the Necanicum, he will fiud, so to speak, a level country from there all the way to Sheridan, in Ynmhiil, barring the ordinary fall of the streams, whoso courses the route ascends and descend. Keckoning the minimum cost of con struction of railroads in the Pnoificnorth west, at from 100 to Vi per cent, per mile, and the maximum rates at from 200 to 240 per cent. I will make the assertion here that this line can be built within the above minimum rates, which in cost would be hardly a comparison with that of the upper Nehalem route as re ported npon by Yillard's engineers a few years since. The Tillamook route would be a sav ing of time in construction by reason of its lighter grades, and from the fact that work could commence in the center at Tillamook bay, as well as at both eiuls. Again, does Astoria properly consider that the Forest Grove route contemplates the successful deflecting of trafiio des tined to the sea board, after it gets with in a few miles of a rival trade and cap ital center, imagine, if vou can, how much of the trade of the orient westward bound, via Central Pacific, could be de flected from San Francisco when within a few miles of it. Many view it every way, in the light of its vastly greater ease in construction, the ten times greater amont of local traffic to certainly accrue to it, nnd the fact that it can be built in one half the time, and common sense will ever give the Tillamook route the palm, and if the projectors of the road will give it the merest preliminary look, I am satisfied that they will fully agree with me. However, whether Tillamook gets a road or not, she does not at all begrudge to Astoria what she has so long deserved, a railroad. F. M. Lamb. The Astoriax is pleased to know the citizens of our sister county are awake to its advantages and desirous of making known these advantages, which are manifest and manifold. Regarding the subject of our cor respondent's railroad comments The Astoriax is also pleased to be able to assure him and other prominent resi dents of Tillamook county that Asto ria and the Astoria and South Coast Bailroad company are heartily in ac cord with them. Supplementary articles of incorpo ration of that road were filed a few days ago, and the very first provision in these articles of incorporation is to build, maintain and operate a rail road "From a point in the city of Astoria, Clatsop county, state of Oregon, to a point at the head of tide water ou Tillamook bay, and thence across Tillamook and Yamhill counties to a point of connection with the Oregon Railway lines at or near Sheridau, in Yamhill county, Oregon." So far as Tillamook is concerned the above exhibits exact and definite knowledge and intention, and plainly shows Astoria's realization of the rich ness of that country and the necessity in a mutual sense of its development. As to the relative merits of the several routes, that is a question not so much of opinion as of fact. It is a matter that can safely be left to the decision of the two corps of rail road engineers now in the field. It is the opinion of The Astoriax, that the shortest, most direct, aud most essential part of the work will first be done. That is to make rail road connection from Astoria to stand ard gauge connection in Washington county. Fortius reason the first railroad work will probably go up the Lewis and Clarke's and ou via the upper Nehalem. Tillamook's turn will ooine all in good time. Once having established railroad connection with and from Astoria to transcontinental lines, our company's attention will next be taken up with lines to Tillamook and the lower Nehalem, in this our needs and immediate requirements taking prec edence of our wants. As to the relative cost, while we do not clearly understand our corre spondent's figures, he will pardon us for suggesting that the matter of prac tical cost can safely be left to those who have had considerable practical experience in building railroads in this state. Tillamook will be neither forgotten or ignored. She is nearer railroad communication now than probably she dreams of. There is an attempt at a seaport below the extreme southern end of the county, known as Yaquina. A party of surveyors are now working north from there in the interests and in the pay of a trasncontinental line which has about realized the futility of further quarrel with the Almighty, and is trying to find suitable railroad grade to Astoria, the seaport of Or egon. That party of surveyors is now at Sheridan. They will soon be in Til lamook, and will be farther this way before long. Tillamook will have a railroad just as soon as she is ready for it. What she needs now is more and better roads, a development of energy on the part of her people, and the dissemina tion of truthful statements regarding her resources and attractions, such as our correspondent and his colleagues now have ready for publication. When a community is ready for a railroad it can no more keep it out than it can defer the rising of the sun. It will come not because of certain people but in spite of them. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. W.
