Interference by the Transcontinental Hallways. Iii quite a lwifthy article In Wedncs- "7 e oregonlan the reason for th uomj in uie comtructlon work on tue Wortliern' branch are set forth, whether correctly or not, we are unable to say. The article says i "Home surprise baa been expressed because construction of the Northern laciilc' Bcappoflsa branch to th Neha lem ha not yet been commenced. The director of th Northern I'acillo on Jan uary 0 passed a resolution ordering the work proceeded with and alter the ur- vey were completed and approved, President Mellen wrote that construc tion would commence March 25 at Heap pooee, and the branch would reach ritts- nurg, the terminus, on tbt Nehalem, in .November next. Three months bavt passed, and nothing ha been done, ex- cept some right ol way obtained, and as the tunnel on the summit will take six month to bore, workina at Wh end, It Is safe to say the branch will no reacn nusDurg tnisvear. What U the cause of the delav? Thev who nro- fes to know say that several conference have been held at New York between the llarriinan and Morgan-Hill syndi cate on tiie proposal for the three trans contlnenal lines to unite on one line to the Nehalem but nothing bail up to last week been accomplished. The Union nd Southern hold that the Northern has no territorial rights in the Nehalem, having only a bridiie. a it is technically called, with their thirty-eight miles of track from liohle to North Portland, without local traffic. While the North ern would be satisfied with the division of the Upper Nehalem country a it share if allotted to it, yet tho other two transcontinental line deny the North ern' right to any portion ol the Neha lem, and refer to contract between the three lines, whereby C. P. Huntington, before be contracted In 18(10 for the line from Astoria via Saddle Mountain to Hillsboro, through the Nehalem, was allowed for the Southern FaciHo all of the Nehalem country north and east of the Salmonberry river." Whether this expression in intended to indicate to the Union and Southern that the Northern intend to insist on an equal division of Nehalem territory, or merely to induce the Portland, Neha lem ifc Tillamook Company to connect with it main lint at or near Cornelius (lap, I uncertain. The course which the latter company intend to pursue, however. Is to wait quietly until after the middle of July, and if by that time no mutual understanding i arrived at by the three transcontinental line aa to building direct Irom Nehalem into Port land, trackage connection with either the Southern or the Northern will there after be concluded and tht road into or near Portland constructed at tht least possible expense per mile and the bond and stock floated through independent circles, with which tht company ia al ready in communication. In reply to correspondence which has taken place, the Northern Pacific people wy: , "Wa are unable to appreciate why the investment ol our capital in such a line should be inimical to the interests of Portland, and think a careful investi gation will show yon such ia not the case. We are prepared to do all tte business offering between Nehalem and Portland at a low rate a can any other Una operating against ua In the same territory, and inasmuch as that is all Portland is interested in, we fail to see where we are in any sense inimical to the interest ot that city."
