THE PURPORT OF HILL'S VISIT EAST

Company's Property. . V"

The Strength of The ' Chronicle " Story
Plain to Those Knowing; Anything
of The Past. ''
Chicaoo, Aug. 19. 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.

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. - -. - -

St. Louis, Mo., Aug. "19: In stating
the situation of affairs at the Coal creek-"
mines, the Globe-Democrat says : This
is a fight for bread for free citizens,
againstthe mistaken policy of the state'
officials, leasing convicts to work the -mines.
It is a very unfortunate affair, :
and the sympathies of the people would -go
out to the free miners unstinted bad
not the miners over-stepped the bounds
of reason and taken tho law into their 7

it is reported a battle is raging between -.
the. troops and miners, cannonading ia
heard in the distance. The streets are '
crowded with a mob. Tho greatest ex-
citement ',". prevails. Five newspaper .
correspondents who went to Coal, creek
were captured by the miners and held as
prisoners. " ; - ' '-
A Chattanooga "special. says: - Gov. -Enchanan
inclines to the opinion that
the prison inspectors should declare the
leases void, because the . lessees claim -.
the authorities do not protect . them
against a mob, and refuse to pay for the
support of the convicts. Gov. Buchanan
has ordered all the organized militia in :

of 1000 men each, and on the sheriffs of " '
