On Wednesday, buyers suddenly

nnd Mr Snilroitd.
The following h from the Yreka
rsouolDecSSth:
Ben nollmlny, the Oregon Railroad
King, having stopped over here a day.
as Ik passed through on hi way to
Washington, we took occasion to "In
terview him witli regard to his Dros
peetlve railroad operations, ft is of
course known to our readers that the
Oregon and California road is complet
ed to Ttowburg. a point some two
liuiHlnil miles tins sine or run mini.
In reply to the question us to whether
he Ititeiitkd to continue Hie construc
tion of the road on this waj from
Itoseburg the coinimg summer, he saw
that deluded entirely on the move
ments of Stan ford &Co. If they should
proceed ii the spring to bnikl their
raftri this side of Bedding, lie would
continue his on this side of Kosebnrg.
If, however, they suspend! further work
ou theirs lie will also on his. He
thinks the road on this side of Rosbbura
will be an unprofitable investment ami
wilt hardly pay running expenww fill
it shall connect with Stanford & Oo"s
road so ttiat there shall be a continu
ous line from Portland to San Francis
co. Hence he will only build hi road
in time to meet with Stanford & Co's
at the st-ttc Hue, With regard to
Stauford and Uo.'s purposes in refer
ence to their road In Oregon, he said
it was im)ossifi!e to find out anything
definitely. He expressed it as his
opinionhowever, that they will not
extend it beyond its present terminus
next summer, nor. hi fact, for several
I rears. Hi reasons for this opinion
were that they will find it more to then
inti'iist to emnlov all their force and
coueei
concentrate all their means on the con
struction of their roads extending
southward 'through the coast counties
and up through the San Joaquin and
Tulare Vallevs, and thence on to the
Colorado river. Tiny will do this.
Hotladav thinks, to prevent 1 he revival
of the schemes, agitated with so innch
vigor in Sua Fnu.cico last summer,
for the construction of tlie Atlantic &
Pacific mid on tlw 35th parallel, and
tlie Colorado River road. The present
Atlantic and Pacific Co.. backed by St.
Louis, is interested in the consumma
tion of the former project, wtiile Scott,
the greatest railroad magnate of Amer
ica, wants the latter to ooimec this
transcontinental Texas Pacific line
with the emporium of the Pacific. To
nrevent the revival and consummation
i of these grand projects, and secure the
ou'iues in iik? oimuit-i n vimiuii j -.

for their own roads, are object so vital

in ahead of theirs might take it busi
ness; and that they have until the
year 1880 in which to complete it. In
"view ot all these considerations. Hol
iday thinks Redding will be likely to
remain the terminus of tlie road for
some time. In the above we b-tve not
given our opinions, but those express
ed by Mr. Holladay. together with tlie
reasons urged hi their support. Our
opinion is, notwitlfctaoding all that
was stated in opposition by Mr. Hol
laday, that Stanton! & Co", will con
tinue ou tlie construbdon of their road
this side of Bedding in the coming
Spring. To an inquiry as to the route
his road would purvm; as It approach
ed the California line, he simply stated
that then; were urve.viiur parties yet
j in the lield, and that when tlie road
I came to be built that the route would
lie taken which the surveys shall have
demonstrated to lie the most practica
ble. '

otters to arrive. The farmers, who
have reltevtd themselves rroni pressing
hidentedness by selling wheat at lower
rates, are now "on velvet." and refuse
to accept going rate: tlie consequence
Is. tlie "corner ' in ship? have, to pay
a large advance for wheat rather than
to keep the vessels awaking cargoes
under heavy expense. This l proli
ably the first time our farmers liave
tnnied th tables on the capitalist for
years, who either have got to pay a
round price for wheat or allow vessels
under charter to lie tH). It Is aki the
wheat operators are In a ilUenimtt. and
have tried to produce a scarcity of
money In onto to fleet the price of
cargoes, Tliere are none more worthy
of all tliejirofus which can be secured
tlxtii our farmers, and we hope they
may take advantage of the present ne
cessity of shippers, If it be to their In
terest. "'' '
