VILLAKI) MAKES AN ASSIGNMENT.
The Northern Pacific to l.e (oiuicted to
New Yobk, Jan. L -At ilie Kortb
ern Pacific meeting, Messrs. Morgan.
Billings, Cheney, Bullitt, Harris and
Belmont -were appointed as a commit
tee to consider what action should be
taken by the board, owing to the re
tirement of yillard. Yillard's resig
nation as director of the company
was laid on the table. The committee
was authorized to call a special meet
ing for the election of president. The
directors adopted a resolution com
plimentary to Yillard, and voted him
$10,000 per year for his .services dur
ing the time he was president of the
company. The finance committee re
ported the amount of money that was
still remaining from the proceeds of
the sale of the 818,000,000 second
mortgage bonds and other cash
assets specifically applicable Io a
liquidation of tho indebtedness em
braced in the circular to the preferred
stockholders on October 17th last,
amounts to 5,171.991, while the obli
gations against the same, together
with balance of the amount required
for construction and equipment,
amounts to $4,015,831, showing a sur
plus of 1,150,157. In addition io
this, the company has on hand in
cash a special fund applicable to the
payment of interest on its general
first mortgage bonds, due the first of
July next, amounting to 1,200,000.
Vice President Oakes, who has made
an. inspection or the road by daylight,
makes a lengthy report of the phvs-
ical condition of the property and its
future prospects. He states lha
with the exception of 100 miles, the
roadbed and track was found m first
class order.
The 100 miles of track referred to
will require to bo ballasted with gravel
to put it in proper condition for eco
nomical operation. This can be done
he said, with an expenditure of $S0,
000, which has been provided for in
the estimate of the operating ex
penses. He estimates the cost of
putting the road's equipment in first
class order at $421,274. The state
ment of earnings and expenses were
also submitted. The gross earnings
from June 30 to December 1, 1883,
inclusive (December being estimated),
was given at SG,G38.983. The operat
ing expenses, including rentals, taxes,
and betterments, to October 31. 18S3.
were 4,427,690, leaving a surplus of
8211,293. They estimated that the
earnings for the balauce of the fiscal
year would be 7,050,000, and operat
ing expenses, including rentals, taxes
and betterments, 2,923,000, leaving a
surplus of 3,127,000, which added to
2,211,203 remaining from operations
the first six months, woidd leave a
total surplus for tho vear ending June
30,1884, of 5,338,203. The interest
charges for the entire fiscal vear are
estimated at 3,882,341, leaving a net
surplus 1,455,952. The report also
gives detailed information regarding
the condition of tho country tribu
tary to the road.
New York, Jan. 5. At the North
ern Pacific directors meeting the ac
tion of the directors in ordering the
completion of the road is the most
important matter that was accom
plished to-day. The whole subjeot
was placed in the hands of the execu
tive committee, who will immediately
carry out the wishes of the board.
This action revives quite a contest
which has been going on ever sinec
Yillard's election as president and
before his accespion. The Northern
Pacific management, after thoroughly
examining the subject, agreed upon
Tacoma as the western terminus.
Villard's identity with the Oregon
Navigation Company led him to fa
vor Portland. The result of this
action will be that Washington Terri
tory will be Kndderilv Tonulated nnd i
Tacoma become a great city. ! lard really desired to nave tne u. xi.

to carry out any exist
ing contracts for the comple
tion of the edifice, and pro
visions are also made for the payment
of-any indebtedness of Yillard to the!
Oregon Kauway and .Navigation Com
pany. The instrument further directs
that the residue, after the entire in
debtedness has been disposed of, shall
be turned over to his wife, Mrs. Fan-1
me Yillard. The real property, in
cluded by Yillard in the assignment,
is, a block bounded by Fiftieth and
Fifty-first streets and Madison and
Fourth avenues, including the man
sion recently erected upon the Madi
son avenue front of the property,
which is said to be worth 1,000,000.
The property was recently conveyed
by Yillard to "his legal advisers, and
was expressly excluded Irom the con
veyance to his assignees. The other
real property possessed by Yillard is
a handsome summer residence at
Dobb's JTerry, on the Hudson, worth
about 250,000. The amount of his
indebtedness to the Oregon Naviga
tion Company has not yet been ascer
tained, nor could any information be
obtained as to his other liabilities. It
is said lie is the owner of large inter
ests -in railroads and other companies,
ancLthatf Lis wife holds Government
bonds to the amount of 500,000. No
accurate statements as to assets, how
ever, were obtainable to-night, and
Villard is still too ill to receive visitors.

The great railroad contractor of
South America, Mr. H. H. Meiggs,
writes as follews:
Lima, Peru. "I wish to say of St
Jacobs Oil, that I am so completely
satisfied with its use, that I procured
a box of it I have used it with great
ertisfaction. It has accomplished
wbnders, and given great relief. It
will always have my positive endorse
ment as a ain liberator."

An old Oregon steamboat man
v. horn I visitod two years ago and
who had a large holding oi" O B. &
X. stock, begun to unload quietly as
soon a the squabble with Billings
ondod in Yillard's favor. Finding out
that he was getting rid of it as fast
as he could do so without attracting
attention, I asked him the cause of
it. He answered dryly: "I can for
give a man for running opposition to
me, but not for running opposition
to himself."
Tin a triile in liie dark as to your
meaning.' was m rejoinder.
4'I mpan that Yillard has got hold
of a good bit of paying property, and
is spending all the money he can get
hold of to render it next to worth
less.' he fontinued.
'"And still I must .wk for further
explanation." said I.
"Well, to got at tho meat in the nut,
hero goe.s. Yillard bought out the
O. S. 1. Co. for four and a half mil
lions and raised it upto six, on which
valuation it has paid S per cent per
annum, as combined with ocean steam
ers. He was in possession of the
best conditioned and'best paying tleet
of river steamboats either in Europe
or America (when you consider the
cost), receiving on two of its routes
nearly five cents p?r mile. Not a line
in California pa-.s two. He
then goes to work building rail
roads to run opposition to his own
steamers through the most dangerous
and costly country, so that the ex
pense of construction for those roads
will eat up all tho earnings of tho
river steamers; and having left noth
ing but the ocean division I which can
be duplicated for two million dollars)
to pay the dividends on twelve mill
ions, he goes to work and bunds a
road to enable Oregon merchants to
buy at the East and spoil the traffic
of the ocean division. The day that
sees the Northern Pacific completed
will sec the earnings of the O. K. tc
N. so reduced that it will never again
pay five per cent per annum in my
life tini". He is merely running op
position to himself."
There was too much truth in this,
and I thought of it on the day (hat
O. & l. N. touched 99. He had seen
it from afar off. and now that the
thing is all over, nothing could be
plainer than the whole affair. Yillard
had, in truth, built an opposition
railroad to his own steamboat1', the
same line of steamboats, that had
made millionaires of Ladd, Ains
worlh, Thompson and Keed, to say
nothing of the fortunes they had
made for Buckle, Coe, the Bradfords
and Henry Olstead. The cost of
building and operating the road
from Bonneville to Walla Walla con
sumed all the profits of the river
steamers, while the burden of paying
the ocean division. Once the Xortfrn
em Pacific was completed, that divis
ion was cut in two and the profits di
verted to a line of railroad which
cannot possibly pay a dividend in the
next five years. The best judges of
steamboat property figure it out
eight years before the Pugct sound
lines can be made to replace the losses
made by the diversion of traffic from
the river division to the railway di
vision between The Dalles and Port
land; and as for the ocean route be
tween Seattle and San Francisco, it is
an even bet that the Queen of thePa
tijif. just placed on that route to
cover the absence of the George W.
Elder, will not make her expenses
from now until the day she is taken
ofT.-7'owi jhrrji, in Sunday Ore
gon fan.
It was thought by many, at the
time the consolidation of interests
was made, that those interests were
naturally antagonistic and that it
would be impossible to make them
coalesce.
It was argued that if ii
m, -i Tf 1--1 J.1"A"I1.
iae additional luea suggesieu is mai-
witn viiiards apparent iaea, it is nu
wonder that he was averse to build
ing the Astoria-Forest Grove rail
road. "FBESK CANDY
