The object of the present visit of President J.. J.' Hill, of the Great Northern, to New York, is fully set forth in a special today which will be published in the San Francisco Chronicle. The dispatcher has been ad vised that Mr. Hill is about to -secure a controlling interest in the Oregon rail way and Navigation company's line, consisting of 1 ,000 miles or more of track between -Spokane tnd Portland, this property ia under a 99 years lease to the Oregon Short Line and Utah North ern, the controlling interest, in ' whose stock was owned by the Union Pacific. Under the terms of the lease the Un ion Pacific guaranteed interest on the bonds, six per cent. interest on the stock and .-the .expense . of .'-reorganization There-are bat two- "way a', in which Hill can gain control of the Oregon Railway and Navigation company's line : Either the Oregon ghort Line or tho Union Pa cific has so defaulted under the .terms of the lease as to make that instrument nugatory, or Hill must hold a controlling interest In $26",D0O,WO of the Oregon Short Line stock. - The Union Pacific at one time owned $14,000,000 of this stock, but it is very possible that it may have sold enough to lose its controlling inter est. In either case it would bo a com paratively easy matter for Hill to secure control. Such a conclusion would in stantly make Hill master of the Union Pacific coast railroad situation and of both the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific coast terminals. He could also dictate the rates to be charged on Pacific coast traffic, and .the annual contracts which now give the Union Pacific almost a monopoly on Portland business. With a transfer of the Oregon Hallway and Navigation company would go the - line of steamers plying- to every ocean" and river port between " San Francisco and British Columbia, and river lines cover ing 2,000 miles of territory. IT PBOBBLI IS TBTJB. Report Concerning: J. J.' Hilt and tho Oregon. Railway and Hmvlgntlon . Coi The Telegram says that a dispatch, similar to the one which we publish to day from Chicago, concerning the present mission of Jim Hill to the east; was shown to Hon. D. P. Thompson in Portland yesterday, and Mr. Thompson thought there was no foundation for the story. " ,.: - '. While Mr. Henry Villard was exhibit ing his menagerie of distinguished men and hogs in Portland, from. Europe and America, the occasion' being' the formal opening of the ' Northern' Pacific Rail way, he the hero ; an ugly rumor be came current that Mr. Villard had been thrown down in the house of bis friends friends, tr. - ; v'': ? --.Yt -:- " There were scores of men then who, like Mr. Thompson today standing near to Mr. Villard, could say exactly what Mr. Thompson said yesterday : ;. "I do not think there is any founda tion for the story. So far as I know, no -transfers have been made, and unques tionably the company still holds a ma jority of the stock No, I feel certain there is no truth, in he story." , We shall not at present offer any suggestions to dispute the. proposition The information whlchjye "have, seems to justify the conclusions of the tele graphic dispatch. I There is no questioning' the' fact that President Hill, of the Great Northern is casting out his lines to get all the rail way line he can, and it is well known. too, that he had a tilt with the Union Pacific people about the sound exten sion. It will be remembered that Hill did not want to bridge the Columbia' at l-Vancoaver, bat wanted to" cross at Mount Coffin. Therefore, when the Union Pa cific refused to accede to his wishes, he refused to put up any more money', though he had not advanced his full share. At that time the "Union Pacific was in close financial straits," and,' hav ing ran oat of money, work was stopped. as everybody knows. ' Ever since then President Hill has been eyeing' the Un ion Pacific system with covetous glances. The question" with us should be: What effect will it have upon The Dalles? We are free to say that in this respect, to us it seems that the benefits are doubtful. We believe that Mr. Hill will come hearer carrying out the origi nal intentions .of Mr.. Villard than any one else that could be named. : In fact that the two men -are. now so closely allied, with v the ' Kelly and other St. Paul and Eastern, , and European millionaire interests backing them, that it would not be strange to hear, pretty soon, that some of the bears creating the downfall of Mr. Yillard would be much more surprised at coming events than they were to hear that the -Montana farmers were actaally ; feeding pigs corn in the ear." ' . '. . . rr : THE COLUMBIA BITER ROUTE. The Beat Market la The Market Reached ..bj the Cheapest Bonte. - ". ',; From the Spokane Review.. That which is of most benefit to the producers, is -the ability -to reach a market at the lowest expense, and It does not require a volume of political economy to convince any reasonable man that the ability to reach tbe-cheap- est market will redound to the best in terest of the state in which the pro ducers are located. The natural, sim plest and cheapest outlet for the pro ducts of Eastern Washington is the Columbia river. If the facilities that may be afforded to the great wheat pro ducing regions of Eastern Washington by means of the opening of the Colum bia river enabled the producers to lay their products down at tidewater cheap er than they can do so by rail, at Puget aouno, wno caq justly say mat tue re sult will not be to the benefit of , Wash ington at large? V ' So far as the great producers of this state are concerned, the reduction of transportation charges and the number of middlemen necessarily will -result to" their advantage and of necessity to the aa vantage oi tne state, if, by opening the Columbia' river, the 15,000,000 or 20,000,000 bushels of grain produced, in Eastern - Washington . can reach - tide water by way of the Columbia rirer cheaper than by rail, why should not the unanimous voice of that great sec tion be in favor of opening the Columbia and Snake rivers? There is not a farmer inthePalouse or Walla Walla wheat- growing districts that does .not know that the comparatively short navigable section of the 6nake river resulted in a difference of fifty cents a ton between wheat shipped by Snake river and that shipped by rail north of Snake river. When growers in Whitman county were paying $6.60 a ton some years ago to Portland, shippers along the Snake river, those In Idaho, paid . only 6, an aggregate amount and tax upon produc ers in the Palouse district of between $100,000 and $200,000 every season. - The Great Northern East. Buffalo Courier, 15th. President Hill of the Great Northern was in Cleveland last week,- and while there closed a con tract with the Globe Iron works for two new vessels, to cost in the neighborhood of $1,000,000. The plans for the new vessels are not completed, but it is un derstood they are to be the finest boats ever built for the lake trade. They will be patterned after the ocean greyhounds, and built for speed and passenger ac commodation regardless- of freight car rying -capacity. No expense will be spared and the result will doubtless be two palaces such as never before floated on the waters of the great Jakes, ' The projectors of the enterprise figure on making the run from Buffalo to Duluth in fifty hours, and as President Hill de manded a guaranteed .speed. of twenty- two miles an ' hoar before closing the contract, it will be an easy matter to make the;' ran in' the' specified time. This will make -a trans-continental line with the Erie and Lackawanna roads at this end and tlie Great. Northern from Duluth to the Pacific coast. The time by the new lake route will be several hours shorter than by the all rail route via Chicago. - -. - - Highest of aU in Leavening Power.- Latest U. S. Gov't Report. THE COAL CREEK WAR.
