Concerning the future of the
Oregon Pacific railroad the Ore
gonian sajs editorially: The be
lief is current among business men
in Willamette valley towns inter
ested in the affairs of the Oregon
Pacific that the long neglect to pav
waes. which resulted iu an order
from the state circuit court lo sell
the road, was a deep-laid scl eine
on the part of the president, and
the receiver and his friends to rid
themselves of "the opiiosition ele
ment' among the bondholders ami
get entire possession ot the road
The belief further is that the
scheme has yvorked successfully,
and that there is not a shadow of
doubt as tc the outcome. Mr.
Hogg and his friends will buy in
the load, for, owning the bulk of
the llo.OOO.OO) bonds, they can
afford to pay more than their
enemies. Colonel llo.'g and iiis
associates have long looked upon
this road as a future bonanza, and
those familiar with i's hietory
know that there has been more
work done in trying lo get com
plete possession of the road than
in lsyi"g the track. Vast tracks of
land lying along the line of the
road, and especially in and ad
lauent th? cities of Albany and
Corvallis, have been purcliated by
the Oregon 1'ucihc people, and if
the present management obtain
complete control of the road its
own interests will impel them to a
speed completion of the insi line
through l'.astern Oregon. It has
been a game of "freeze out" for
large stakes, and the business
men of Albany and Corvallis have
wa'ched it with interest, hoping
fjr the success of the Hogg faction,
since their interests are so clo.-ely
entwined.

WASHINGTON ffUKAT.
The Crop la About Equal to That of
Last Vear.
Portland. Oct. 3'. Assistant
General Freight Agent Fulton, of
the Northern Pacific, returned
yesterday from a trip to Eastern
Washington and to the Sound.
He a ys that the crop in E ist
ern Washington is ab nit tqual to
last year's. Some critics put. it at
less, but the best judges think the
crop ia fully equal to last year.
Mr. Fulton says that 50 per cent
of the crop has left the ban Is of
farmers. This is somewhat larger
than local d alers have supposed
the shipment to have been. Most
of them have put the shipments
at one-third the crop.

WAR VESSELS FOR CHILI.
It is now known the Newaik 'n

have been sent to Boston to have
her fitted out with a year's supply
of provision, and to complete her
crew w ith two-year service men.

with th Botton and Yoiktoun
now en route, and the r.aliunore
and San Francisco, ahead y in the

of the best vessels now available,
an. I would make quite a respect

AN EASY GAME.
Yallejo, Cal., Oct. 31. Naval
officers at Mare island are univer
sally of the opinion that there is
nothing in the Chi. iin situation to
ie a armed about. The United
States has ships enough in lighting
trim at the present moment to
handle Chili with eae. Admiral
Irw'ii was quite free in discussing
the matter without go;ng into de
tails. "'We ran handle Chili eas
ily," he said "without any addi
tional work or preparation. We
have ships enougn nnv in lighting
trim to qiie'c'i Ch 1 . e.en if a e
is the oiiiy countv in tli s jutli
that has both an army and a navy.
Valparaiso is the key to the entire
situation, and 1 do not apprehend
any difficulty ir. rapturing the key.
Of couise we should want JijuMjue
as well, for that is Chili's purse,
hut to take Iquique is chi'd's play.
I say take it, not blockade it. 'fYe
nitrate exporters do not rare w ho
they pay duly to, and if we did
not want it yve could turn it over
to Pern, from whom Chili took it.
I think this ta'k in the dispatches
this morning about privateers do
ing damage to Am-rican commerce
in the event of war is all nonsense.
If it really has any foundation it
would mean that the privateers
would be English vessels under
the Chilian flag As far as Chili
alone is concermd there is nutti
ng to wiry about. She could be
taken care of ny the vessels enter
ing the port of San trancisco that
have been found up to the qualifi
cations of the naval reserve stan
