WILL HILL SIDE-TRACK
THIS CITY?
AN AFFIRMATIVE SUGGESTION
IN THIS BEHALF BY AN
INTERESTED CITIZEN.
The following communication from
Alfred Davis, of this city, reached
this office yesterday afternoon,
and is published for the sake
of the intelligent presentation of
a very interesting question, rather
than because the Morning Astorian
agrees with Mr. Davis' conclusions.
It is a subject "that wilt "take time
rather than argument to settle, and
this paper is willing to abide the
issue of time and its compelling de
velopments, however much they may
be disparaged by alleged existing
conditions. The paper submitted
reads as follows:
"Will Jim Hill do anything more
for Astoria than making the Astoria
& Columbia River Railroad a feeder
for his lines? The facts as found by
close observer of the railroad
movements in the Columbia River
region for a number of years would
indicate that Mr. Hilt will do noth
ing for Astoria. We will now go
back to the time when Mr. Hammond
first made his appearance In Astoria,
and with the aid of his local repre
sentatives, secured the entire water
front of the city without money or
price, being a nice birthday present,
Not only that, he secured the water
frontage along up the Columbia as
far as Coble, thus preventing a com
peting line from building down the
lower Columbia along the Oregon
shore. Mr. Hammond then got busy
between Astoria and Seaside by
making extensive purchases in the
vicinity of Flavel and Hammond, no
doubt with the intention of blocking
any effort that might be made by any
other road to enter Astoria from the
south. Having accomplished this
work he then turns over the A. & C.
road to the Northern Pacific, which ! completed will he not proceed at

Hill, then began using his energies ' nects with the main line of the

its extension to Gray's Bay at no
distant day. Having control of the , from Kelso down the north bank is

choose either for his seaboard tcrmi- of 10 miles, will be double tracked,
nus, where he will erect elevators and making a double tracked road from
where a great city will be built. Will
Astoria be this point? This is a
question whose solution is anxiously
awaited by the citizens of Astoria.
The writer would prophesy that
Gray's Bay will be the location for
this future city, viz:
"First, because there is an abund
ance of room and where land can be
secured at- a more reasonable figure.
In fact, quite a number of large sales
have already been made to the Hill
interests. Again, because the natural
resources on the Washington side of
the river between' Kalama and the
seaboard are greater than the Oregon
shore between Goble and the sea
board. By observing the topography
of these territories above mentioned
we will find but two or three steam
ers of any consequence emptying in
to the Columbia along the Oregon
shore, while on the Washington shore
we find the Kalama and Cowlitz
rivers, Coal Creek, Abernathy Creek,
Elchman and Skamokawa Creeks,
Jim Crow and Crooked Creeks,
Deep River nd Gray's River, and
two or three others farther down,
which we will not mention.
"Again, let us follow the survey
made from Gray's Bay , to South
Bend and, as along the streams above
mentioned, we pass through a coun
try not only heavily timbered but
fertile ; land especially adapted for
farming, dairying and fruit raising.'
With the construction of a line down
the north shore of the Columbina the
natural resources of the country
would mean a heavy local traffic, and
the erection of large sawmills would
make the city on the north shore a
great shipping point for lumber. The
the construction of the line would
complete the net-work of the . Hill
lines in the State of Washington, viz:
The Great Northern and Northern
Pacific bringing the wheat and other
oroducts of the soil from Eastern

been surveyed, running "up Deep Riv:

pass across the divide to the head

that stream to South Bend, and from
that city to Cosmopolis, on Gray's
Harbor.
"Now then, when the resources of
the territory through which the A. &
C. passes and that through which the
proposed line from Kelso to Gray's
Bay would pass, in addition to its
numerous leccers already in opera
tion, is it not clearly evident to any
intelligent person that the north shore
line would be chosen as the seaboard
terminus of Mr. Hill's great system?
"Let us ask why Mr. Hill has had
a large crew of men at work

"The citizens of Astoria have spent
too much valuable time in petty
quarrels with Portland instead of
doing energetic and intelligent work
in behalf of 4 NT

are beginning to realize the truthful
ness of the old adage, 'Time and title

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Discus-sing
the , charge made by the forest
service for permits for developing wa
ter power in national forests and the
probable action of the trans-Mississippi
congress at San Francisco in
the matter of conserving water pow
er, Gifford Pinchot, the United States
Forester, in a recent letter said he fa
vored legislation to authorize the Is
suance of permits irrevocable except
for breach of conditions, for a fixed
term sufficiently long to insure se
curity of investment.
"Grants of valuable franchises and
property rights" said Dr. Pinchot,
"such as were made gratis to the rail
roads when the natural resources of
the country were thought to be in
exhaustible, cannot now be seriously
considered in connection with the de
velopment of water power on the
lands and forests. The great impor
tance of water power to the country
is coming to be more thoroughly real
ized and water power monopoly, in
stead of being looked upon as an ab
surd vagary, has taken a firm place
in the thought and consideration of
the people." ' j
