At the last meeting of the Astoria chamber of commerce it as thought advisable to have some expression from Mr. VHJard concerning the probable building of the railroad between here and Forest Grove. In response to a tel egram that gentleman fixed a place and date to meet and discuss matters, and on Tuesday, April I'tth, a committee consisting of I. V. Case, J. I). Merry man, A.W. Berry, C. W. Fulton, and Aug. C. Kinney, met Mr. Yillard at the office of the O. It. & '. Co. in Portland. After the commute had been present ed, Mr. YiJlanl remarked that he had been informed that the gentlemen pre- You cannot build railroads without money. There was no way of accom plishing the object until now. As soon as the proper authority had been voted at the meeting of the stockholders, held in London a little over a month ago, I telegraphed instructions to Manager Koehler to immediately arrange for sending out a surveying corps to go over tho line and collect information with reference to its proper location and the natural resources of tiie country through which it will nass such information, in short, as would enable me to form a correct opinion of the merits of the en terprise. There was no time lost at all. I supposed when 1 reached Astoria that the party had been in the field for some time. audi only learned there that it had just taken the field. You probably know that Mr. Hurlburt is in the field now. In addition to that, on the day be fore 5 esterday. detailed a timber ex pert, Mr. Templeman, to make a special ent desired to talk with him in regard We have received a well executed map of the N. P. It. It., 0. R. & N. Co., and tributary lines. The map in question gives Astoria prominent pos ition in its proper locality, and the particular one we have received is so admirably fixed that the sky seems to come down at the same distance on every side of it. The horizon is grand ly defined. Good. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Astoria Iron Works held at the office of the company last evening, it was decided to increase the capital stock of the company S2C,000 more than the present amount. This is a good showing for an Astoria enter "prise that is not yet two years in exist ence. It is the intention of the com pany to put np a substantial brick building as soon as suitable opportu nity presents itself. "Now, see here. I want you to lend me $3,500 for thirty days; Fll give you a mortgage on lots and blk. ." ''Butyou don't own them." "Never mind, I will own them half an hour after I get the money." Tho money is lent, tho lots purchased, the deed made out, the mortgage record ed, tho lots sold for $5,000, tho bor rower "lifts" the mortgago and is ahead $1,500 minus tho interest on $3,500 for one month, all in three days. From, "A talc of two cities." At Ross & McFarland's lodging camp on Gnat creek, about four miles from Knappa, are some of the best workers on this northwest coast. As an instance of what they do, and what they justly consider "a good day's work," may be mentoned that on Tuesday of last week two men undercut and sawed down fourteen trees, which would scale 50 M. Last Friday, two others, J . P. and D. P. Ross, undercut and sawed down a tree seven feet in diameter inside of two hours. Tho Knappa boys think this can't be beat, and they have ex cellent reasons for -thinking so. Hotel Arrivals. OCCIDENT.

The committee thereupon expressed a desire to hear first what Mr. Yillard had to say upon the subject of their mission. Mr. Yillard said that that was always the wav. He was expected not only to do the talking and the thinking, but also the most essential thing to pro vide the money for building railroads. He centinued: "You may have seen in the papers some statements, which 1 have made in other places, with refer ence to the extent of the financial rc soutces I had to provide, in order to do what I considered the best thing for Oregon and Washington territory, that is, to complete tfee railroad connection between the state and territory and the east first of all. The construction which the O. It. & N. Co- has been carrying on along the Columbia river has mainly had reference to that end. L would have been very glad to have accomplished more in the way of railroad construc tion than has been accomplished during the past two years, but it was a matter of physical and financial impossibility. As :ome of you may know, a year and a half ago it was impossible to com mand the labor necessary to carry on railroad work here, owing to the com petition created by the Northern Paci fic, the O. R. & N. Co., (winch two cor porations then represented distinct in terests) and the Canadian Pacific rail way. 1 remember when I was here at that time I was told by our engineers, very formally and distinctly, that we would have to pa S3! per month for wages for unskilled labor, instead of S2J and S2G, and that it would be diffi cult to procuie labor even at that figure. It was almost impossible to command skilled white labor to the extent to which we lequired it in connection with railroad work. At that time railroad construction was nro2U'ainir at a very lively rate all over the United Mates. and it was exceedingly difficult to ob tain competent engineers. Incompetent ones were plenty, but really competent men. able to superintend large railroad works, involving immense outlays of money were very scarce, and could hardly be had for any compensation 1 state these facts to show you that it was not very easy a year and a half ago to extend our railroad construction programme beyond the limits within which we have been carrying it on so far. Moreover, it was a fact, as you must know from the financial history of the Oregon & California Railroad com pany during the last twelve years, which is a matter of public notoriety, that the construction ot the line for which you now plead was dependent upon the financial resources of a bank rupt and discredited corporation. "When I first came to Oregon my friends in Germany hadjnvested many millions of dollars in the original bonds of the Oregon & California Railroad company. After the first six months the payment of interest was stopped, and the bonds, which had cost, them high prices, depreciated ten or twelve per cent, of their nominal value in the mar ket. The people who had lost so much money were unwilling to finest more capital in what they considered a des perate and hopeless enterprise, lt took three years of very hard work, continuous pressure and assur ance on my part of the great future of this northwest country before 1 was able to prevail upon the parties abroad interested in these transportation lines at that time, to give me any additional capital at all. 1 commenced with im proving the steamship service here. You know very well how it has been done. 1 had very hard work in doing it. Then, as you know, we succeedediu raising means to extend what was then known as the Oregon Central railroad, now called the west side division, from the Yamhill river to Corvallis. Two years ago the time appeared to have come for another effoit in connection with the Oregon & California R. It., to raise money to do what ought to have been done ten years ago, and for which my German friends had at that time given their money; that is to extend the line of the Oregon & California com pany to the California boundary. My lriends in Germany had bought all the bonds authorized against the entire line from Portland to the California boundary, but instead of having that entire line built with the proceeds of the bonds, there were only 200 miles built to Roseburg. The power to mortgage was exhausted. It was ab solutely impossible to do anything without a foreclosure of the mortgages and a reorganization of the company. You will readily understand what I mean. We could not get parties in Germany and in England up to that point until two years ago. That is, to the point of being willing to make a new company, so to speak, to which the existing property should be transferred, to exchange their bonds for stock and to permit the making of a new mort gage on the property, in older to pio viue means to build to the California boundary. That was accomplished after a great deal of hard work, and we did get the money to begin the construc tion of the southern extension from Roseburg to Jacksonville and beyond. As you know, wc have been engaged in building this line for over a year. 1 went over the road yesterday and found about sixty-five miles of the track actu ally laid and the work well in hand for nearly one hundred miles beyond. But it turned out, unfoitunately, alter the workof construction was started, that the line will cost a great deal more than we expected it would. It was found to be an extremely difficult and expen sive line. I believe that it will prove one of the most expensive railroad lines in the United States. So that within the last few months, as vou have seen in the papers, 1 have been obliged to go again to the original bondholders under the Ben Holladay administration, who had given up their first mortgage lin and consented to the exchange ot their bonds for stock, and to say to them: 4We have miscalculated the cost of the southern extension. I report upon the timber resources of the not only with reference to the Alaska Indians. building of the line, but with reference to the marketability of the timber by means of log roads leading to the rail road, or in other ways, that Ls. as far as the natural resources of the district can be mado available for feeding the line directly or indirectly.

"At the same time, as you have seen from the papers, I succeeded in obtain ing their consent to provide means for the construction ot a line to Astoria that line which has been contemplated for so many years, but towards the building of which nothing has so far been done, towards the building of which nothing could be done, as you will understand from the explanations made to you, provided however that upon duo examination into the merits of the line, the construction of it should be found advisable.

"Railroad building, like every other commercial enterprise, can only succeed if conducted upon sound business prin ciples. I have explained to you the suc cessive failures that have occurred in the past in connection with the Oregon & California Railroad company. In the I'ght of past experience" I certainly would not be justitied, (because I only stand here as a trustee of tho owners of the property; in recommending them to provide further capital by means of put ting an increased mortgage ahead of their stock unless 1 was satisfied that the investment would prove a satisfac tory one. Whether that will be the case 1 do nut know at this moment, and there may be sixt days yet before I shall have the information before me from which lean arrive at any satisfactory conclusion. "I have heard a good deal, through correspondence and otherwise, of the value of these lands. I think L know all -about your position as a town. I think I keep as well posted as to the growth of particular localities in the state as anybody here. Perhaps more so, because" 1 make it my special busi ness to watch the progress of all points in which our transportation Hues are interested. 1 said I have heard a good deal about the value of this land grant, but I have no positive evidence of its value. I have no evidences, in the first place, as to the extent of the timber resources embraced within the limits of the land grant. I ought to have also further evidences as to the com mercial value of these timber resources xs to the practicability of marketing them. 1 wish to know Vomething more than I do now as to the mineral and ag ricultural resources of this land grant. When the information shall be at my command I shall arrive at a decision very promptly, and whatever that de cision may be you will bo advised or it with equal promptness. 1 believe your chamber of commerce has made efforts at Washington to bring about a declaration of the "forfeiture of the land grant in question. Now I want you to distinctly understand that I have no lault to find witn anybody lor not wislnug to tie up a large body Of public lands for an indefinite period. 1 do not believe in it auy more than you do. But you ought to understand the bearings of the case. Take the Oregon and Cali fornia land grant, for instance. The interest in the lauds yet to be acquired by the company by construction hereaf ter is mortgaged, as well as the lands that have actually been acquired and conveyed to the company by the United States government from previous rail road construction, and this interest is mortgaged in trust for the benefit of the bondholders of the company. There fore it is beyond the power of the Ore gon & California railroad company. And it is beyond the power of myself as president of the company. I have noth ing whatever to do with it. That trust is held by three English gentlemen for the benefit of the bondholders, and it is for them and not for tho company not for me as president to say how these claims shall be disposed of. 1 want you to UXDEUSTAXD TIIA.T XJZV.Y CLEARLY. Even those trustees cannot forego those clai ms without the consent of the holders of the first mortgago bond issued under that trust. I meau that would be the construction placed by them upon their trust." The committeo inquired if Mr. Yillard intended to convey the idea that no transfer of the land grant could be mado to any other company if it should build the road. Mr. Yillard said that he meant simply that the trustees have no right to part voluntarily with anything belonging to the bondholders. lie said: "I have ta ken that ground. 1 have made this ex planation simply to show you that it is not always so easy to accomplish things as appears on the surface. If the pres ent investigation into the .merits of these lands and the general question of the advisability of constructing a lino to your town should result in the con clusion that it would not be a paying enterprise for us to engage in, 1 should certainly be in favor of saying distinct ly and once for all to whom it may con cern, that we should not insist upon whatever claims tho company has. What the trustees under the mortgage will do is another matter. But, as lar as I am personally concerned, I should be in lavor of throwing these lands open either to the public, or of having them devoted to some other purpose. At the same time. I want to tell you that 1 understand the temper of congress and the government generally on the land grant questien. it nas ueen my business to sound that temper, and to know the policy of the government. And vou may believe me when I say that if the company should surrender its claims to that land grant no other corporation will receive the benefit of them. That land will simply be re turned to the public domain. These claims are part of the trust the company has created for the benefit of the bond holders. Mr. Dolph, counsel of the com pany is present, and he will inform you whether I am right in this." Mr. Dolph said that the claims re ferred to by Mr. Yillard were mortgaged as well as everything else, and of course could not be abandoned as a voluntary act, or conveyed without the consent of the trustees. Mr. Yillard said that he had spoken very freely, and that he would now be glail to hear what the committee had to say. The committee inquired whether In the event of the investigation now being made proving favorable, the road would be built and built immediately. Mr. Yillard replied in the affirmative. He said that in that event the work would be taken in hand at once; that the financial arrangements were already made but he said the committee, as sensible men, would readily understand that it would not do for the company to go blindly into any enterprise involv ing millions of dollars, that is, without knowing the ground on which it was stepping. He went on to say that a great deal had been said about his hostility to and pre judice against Astoria. Such statements he said, had no iouudation in fact. He explained that the steamship and steam boat lines which he represented were naturally greatly interested in the town of Astoria, and that they would, of course, do nothing that would work to the injury of that place. The committee expressed their satisfac tion at these, assurances. The commit tee thereupon requested information as to when the question of the building of the line would be decided. Mr. Yillard replied that it could not be said definitely when the survej'ors would finish their work. Ho believed Manager Koehler had informed him that the result of the survey would be known in about 00 days. It was not proposed to make a superficial examina tion such as was made once by some of the TEOPLE OP ASTORIA, but a thorough study of the whole ground would be made, to complete it. Mr. Yillard replied that it was impos sible to tell how long a time would he required until the line should he defi nitely located and the surveyors were able to make exact calculations. lie assured the committee, however, that it it was decided to take the work in hand there would be no delay in pushing it to a speedy completion. Mr. "Villard informed the committee that it had been decided to build the line from Corvallis to Junction Citv and that it was expected that this line would be completed during the coming summer. Tlie committee asked whether, in the event of a determination to build the Forest Grove-Astoria line, Its construc tion would commence from Astoria or from Forest Grove. 31r. Yillard replied that that alo de pended, in a great measure, upon the re ports of the engineers, but that he did not hesitate to say, as far as ho could judge by .the situation, be would be in favor of beginning the line from Ato ria. He said it would depend in some measure upon the question whether the company could obtain the req uisite terminal facilities within the town limits of Astoria.
