In n short intorviow with tlio Independ ent initn tho General expressed himself ns of tlio opinion thnt tho contest be tween tlio rival points seeking tho ex penditure of the appropriation and loca tion of tho port of tofngo had narrowed itself down to Capo Arngo and tho Columbi.i river, and that if neither of thoso two points su:tiro it, it will bo lor tlio reason that tho Hoard of Engineers will feel compelled to dcclnro olHcially sncli n port on tho northwest const ns unnecessary. Tlio very fact that but ono such port of lefngo upon tho coast lino of tlio United States Ims necn uuiu, f tho United Htates Ims .ecu mini, that upon tho coast of Jersey will weight in tho argument that no r of rcfugo is needed when coupled nnd that liavo harbor with tho fact that tho heaviest storms aro met with nearest tho coast and sea captains during a storm prefer going to sea to iiuggiug mu Biiuii.. jii i'j umui hnnd there is good argument in tho work of tho English upon tho British coasla in favor of such portoj and in their con struction the period of 200 years has been occupied and still thoy rcmatnod unfinished. It is thought by General Lnno that tlio advantages to bo secured to tho comnicrco of tho point selected and tho country inland from it, nnd tho advantages to tho interior possibly to be iichuircd, will bo seriously considered by tho board, and tho point will be to de tcrmino whether tho commcrco of tho will bo belter served by tho loca tion of tho harbor at Capo Arago or at tlio mouth of tho Columbia.
