two reasons: First, J freely admit the
Oteoniayh "owed me ono" for tho un
vaiuiahed character I gave it in the re
cently published book, "Tvj roars in
Oieflon," to which the articles fa quent
iy alludes; and, second, because 1 have
a vivid remcmbranco of the aui' nities
which pairscd Imtwrrn Mr. J. Hippie
Mitchell and Mr. Harvey W. Scott
aome short time- ago, when thoso grn
tlemon indulged in personal controversy
of tbe baser sort, and I have no deiite
to bo led into a like position; and if
New York were a little nearer in pciut
of time, 1 wonld lve hft dl. Hogg to
take up the cudgnls, if Lo felt inclined
to do so.
Still, though I am i.ot either tbe
"attorney" or the resident manager" of
the Oregon Pacific," yet, as forn vice
president of that read a year and more
past, its interesta urn to aome extont
committed to me. Theicfore, since
iho n t lid.- in tho BohcUy' Oregdnian
may do some hurra unless its tniar.taU
aients aro exposed, 1 IrouMo you with
tbis latt' : .
The Mm, ly (h'goiiln.t makes itsoif
responsible for tho following asset I tufts
I will try to answer, but not to dis
tort, them
1. That the M min i Y'upn .hi , .; ;;oo l
modol, and "well owered as to hi i
machinery" (where did ho horn his
English)") and "thus equipped uh
fuel and stores" ti did not mpp-o that
"model," "power" or "machinery"
wore pvepS rly described nf 'ithor "turn1
or "atoiee," but we live an 1 learn.) left
Portland for Vnquinn liay on ti e 1 3th
of Jauaarv, and arrived off Vatpiiea
bar two days Liter, having laid ever
one night in Astotia. That aho lay cil
Yaquina bar with fires tanked ond
ateam up Tin tix dky, fiii-lir.g toe bar
eo rough that it was iuip.ih!e t?
enter the harbor; that eho then return
ed to Astoria and ' lay" there 'HI tle
aouth-weateiiy weatLorwc rnc , ; -.J
then taking in more fuel, started out
landed her cargo at Vnquine, a largo
portion being freight for the O. P. R. K.
That dept. Henny, being interviewed
in Aetoria by an A 4 rei rttr,
gave aa ihe re h p. fir hia inability to
enter tbe port of Yaquina, that the
water on tho bar was too shallow, and
brvko in a depth of fourUmn Jrt at k&ffk
tide. This last Statement, tin' (
ian aaya, is true usjaaajej eajeaJtoej.
Now for facts: Tho Ya-t"i.i lrft
Astoria on Friday; waa ofi
eight miles nouth of Y'i;;:.. :. S r
day morning early; atcawd Op oppo
site tho bar at bigh water, not fur from
nine o'clock, and iuimct'.attly wont
off out of sight to the north and west
On Monday mornii.g at 1 1 oVlock aha
was away off to the north and west cf
Cape Foulweatht-r, so far r fflhut it vi a
a matter of doubt if h wore tho Faquiaa
or tho Tillamook trbocnor, though
pretty good glaasr -a rre diiected at her
from the lighihouso point at Yaquina.
By noon on Monday she vns out of
eight, and, by Tttei btj morning '. t
was back at Astoria. S i i:r:ch !' r ly
ing off Taquiun for six days v. able to
enter.
The bar nt uquin i on Bttttdaj mUffaV
ing was not nearly so - as thu
Colombia bar on Tu-..i;; .
Yeujulna'i paaaengers. When ahe was
off the bar on Sunday the tide gauge
at Newpirt, set up by the U. S. lit
gineors, showod 20fSss4of water on the
bar. At high tide on Monday the bar
waa quite smooth, and it was in n like
case on Tuesday and WeduesJay. All
thia doea not rest on my mere i-tate-meuta,
but can bo !e;iosed to, if nec
easaiy, by at least fifteen witnceSoS.
2. I pass by tho account of my cor
respondence with Mr. Hatch, too own
er of tho y;u'; .', bccsiuj, though
grossly misstHttd, it has public
inteieat.
3. Hut tho Ore jo ii fe:t on to ny
that the real reason for my "outbuiet
of senseless churlishness" was htUaUOS
tho "negotiators of the OffUgOU Pacific
bonds bad tl 5Sted tho same in Wall
street upon tho statement that Yaquina
bar had an acrago dpth tf "1 ftet of
water at low tide, whieh is Just twu
feet deeper than San FmnctSCO." Now,
the writer of this statement waa either
utterly ignorant of what ho was writing
about, or else lie well, suppose we
say, misstated. The published circular
of the Oregon Paeifio is U lore me,
giving the depth on tho bar as "about
18 fet't at high tide, ' and it m on the
baaia of thia that CoL Hag; ia now, as
is well known, working at Washing
ton to try to favotable re
sponse from I'm - - to tho prwy
er of tho Oicjon LegisloAdrs of
of 1S80 for an appropriation of $200,
000 for tho Yaquina improvement.
4. Again, the Qregonian has the
good taste ami wit to assert that
"Colonel T. BdfSJ ton Hogg and Mr.
Nash are floating their "untamed fe
line" stock ou tho Now York market,
on the representation that Yaqnimi bar
haa 21 feet at low tide and the
Oreyonian then asks why tbo atoainois
with onr steel rail3 did not go direct to
Yaquina instead of trains chipping at
San Francisco ?
As Yaquina eras hot tkttva port o
entry,, Col. Hogg could not have had
the rails landed thero when they ar
rived on this coast. As to tho ' un
tamed feline" epithet, tho people of
Oregon know beat where they apply,
and can judge for themselves of the
kind of opposition through which the
Oregon Pacific has passed on the road
to its present strong and successful
position.
'). Tho On-gontTin thi n proceeds to
phropbeay how far the Oregon Pacific
will bo built, and to ridicule itj pros
pects. Well and good : it is a conso
lation that the Orrgomim thinks the
road will he built to Albany, and may
bo carried across tho Cascades. It was
not so very long ago that it predicted
a total failure of the enterprise. There
is not a much more contemptible r-osi
tion than that of the prophet whose
forecasts come to nothing. One thing
the Willamette valley may be uro of
is, that the men who are building the
Oregon Pacific have fully satisfied
themselves about the harbor before
they cemmenced work, and that having
"put thoir hands to the plow, thoy will
not turn back" until tbo enterprise bas
reached its completion, let tbo Oregon
ioi' sneer, prophesy, or misrepresent as
much as il pleases.
One thing I am very idad df is that
t! ' pup r ban returned openly to its
origins! position iu regard to thia rood.
I, for m e, gladly prefer a declared,
even if a vtuomou and unscrupulous,
enemy, to the Narno enemy trying to
wear a mask of candid but cord friendli
ness, li nt ww bear no malice. It will
bo a pleasant duty to send the Oregtm
( tiokets for tho inauguration ttip
from Cervnllis to Yaquina early in tbo
ceniiiijr, full. The Ovgrnnan can then
judge for iUolf on this fourteen feet al
nigh wator business: for it is evident
(hat at pieent il is badly confnsed be
