OF INTEREST TO ASTORIANS.
Where Villard's Money Came From and
How He Was Cinched.
A gentleman "who divides his time
pretty equally between the Atlantic
seaboard and the northwest, and is
creel ited-with a high place in the ros
ter of well-posted ones, said yester
day to a reporter that he declined to
have any faith in the recent advance
df the ex-Villards as permanent, and
while convinced that the Northern
Pacific is an admirable property, it
must be at least sixty days before a
genuine advance "will come. "I must
tell you briefly," said he, "some an
cient history, and it is so ancient
now briefness is proper. The Oregon
and Transcontinental had 51 per cent
of the Northern Paoific securities
locked up in their safes. Yillard
pushed the road through with unex
'ampled rapidity and I want to say
now, the Northern Pacific is the best
built and best equipped road west of
Chicago, and can be operated more
economically than any -other west of
the Mississippi determined to shed
s blaze of glory around his achieve
ments He got short of money, very
hort Ho proceeded to hypothecate
the Oregon and Transcontinental
holdings of Northern Pacific securi
ties and Drexel, Morgan & Co. ad
vanced him the money on the collat
erals. Why he chose the bankers I
can't say; may be to placate them.
Then Villard went off on his grand
transcontinental champagne jubilee.
His idea was to get the foreigners
surrounded by ex-presidents and
high officials; 'fill them up with an
idea of his, greatness, and then say:
'Gentlemen, this grand property, in
order to be ours, needs a few more
millions; ante up and we have every
thing in our own hands.' Meanwhile
when Billings and everyone else who
by a few .millions or by moral sup
port, could holster up Villards, were
way off beyond the Bockies, Drexel,
Morgan & Co. saw an opportunity to
deal Villard a blow. They didn't
want to kill, but wound him. So they
put some of these hypothecated col
laterals on the market in small
blocks. They raised a hornet's nest.
SPIED THE GAME.
The Wall street brokers saw the
game in a minute, They knew just
where the stocks came from, and
when the bears started a downward
move Drexel, Morgan & Co. were
powerless to stop it Why, these
brokers had a lot of pigeons on the
Villard excursion who got off the
train, when they got beyond civiliza
tion and telegraphed, 'JSell so many
shares N. P.,' etc. The street caught
on and that settled it The pigeons
soon found out that Villard hadn't
even paid" the bills of the ex
cursion except by giving his paper,
and that hasn't been cashed yet
When the party reached New Yorl;
there was the deuce to pay among the
Northern Pacific directors, and there
was many a stormy session. Finally
that 20,000,000 loan was ordered.!
There never was a penny realized
from that Subscribers have the
bonds yet. George M. Pullman sub
scribed to the tune of S3,000,000, in
hopes of getting some of the money
due him for cars furnished and
none of these bonds will be sold un
til people find out where the $20,000,
000 is to go; whether it is to be
shoveled into the insatiable maw of
the Oregon and Transcontinental or
not. The idea of course was to
. get a lot of big names on the sub
scription list, and for big individual
amounts, and then the bonds could
easily be sold. You remember the
meeting of directors in which Bil
lings said: 'Gentlemen, I'm sick
of this whole business, and Pm going
to sell my holdings. You can buy
'em if you want to, or Pll put them
on the board.' Then it was decided
that Villard must go, and he has. I
told you this would be ancient
history, but the pages haven't always
been open to public perusaL Well,
Harris was chosen president He is
. one of the most boner-1, capable and
popular executive railway men on the
continent He has a contract, by the
way, for five years at $20,000 a year
not a Haupt contract either. It the
directors wanted him to resign to
morrow he could decline or make
-them put up $100,000 cash. The
Drexel, Morgan and Philadelphia in
terests favored Cassatt, but Harris
suits very welL
THE PBOBIiEM IN FBONT.
A problem confronted the directors
Trfter Harris1 election as it did before,
,nd it does yet It is how to get rid
of the Oregon and Transcontinental
octopus whose tentaoles are fastened
upon every one of the fifty-two
sohemes fathered by Villard. Go and
look under the hoods of the new cars
and on the tenders of the new $15,
000 locomotives, and you "will see the
Oregon and Transcontinental mono-
- gram there. That is the car trust
.business. Study into the branch
line business, and learn that, built
for.$4,000 per mile, they were bonded
- .to -the Oregon and Transcontinental
;for $20,000 at 7 per cent interest per
annum. The Oregon and Transcon
tinental must be thrown into bank
ruptcy, must be overthrown and
vekeked when it lies prostrate, or
ke its stock must be forced down so
low that Northern Pacific owners
wean afford to buy it outright, and
Hthna .being in -absolute control, pre
sent detriment to the valuable line
by the drafts of the Oregon and
Transcontinental leech. That's the
-way the directors felt and feel now.
Do you remember recently, when
Northern Pacific preferred was forced
troa473to 41? Well the scheme
was to send Oregon and Transconti
nental to 10, and bankruptcy would
follow. A pool would be ready to
buy it in, and the obligations due the
company could be arranged in better
jhape for the Northern Pacific, and
the latter separated at once and for
ever from the damning shadow of
this same Oregon and Transcontinen
tal. I don't know, of course, but
.aybe the Oregon Improvement
-Company, of which Mr. Muir
has recently been made gen
eral manager, was to have been made
the absorbent of the Oregon and
Transcontinental. The Oregon. Im
provement stands better than most of
the Villard schemes, though it has
squeezed many a Boston lemon dry
as a last year's fir cone. Some one
split on the original scheme, however,
and the plan had to be deferred. It
is only deferred, however, and I
prophesy that it will be carried out
within sixty days. Harris is in
Washington now, fixing that land
matter. When he gets back to New
York, look out Once rid of the
Oregon and Transcontinental and in
vestors will have this plain proposi
tion presented to them. "Here is
the Northern Pacific, with its 1900
miles of admirably built road equip
ped to an excess of 25 per cent over
its needs for two years, with an enor
mous land grant and the best sort
of prospects for earning money. On
this road there is a debt of $150,
000,0000. What are its securities
worth?" The proposition is a plain
one and any business man can fig
ure out the question.
NOT Alili PEACEFUL.
"Harmony in the management?
Well, it isn't absolute peace. Oakes
has to come out here and turn the
crank of the chorus, while he is also
liable to all the kicks. Harris stays
in New York and has full direction
of the affair. Harris, is a cautious
man, and when he came into power
wasn't likely to whirl a piece of lead
tied to a string around his own head,
careless of whose crowns he broke.
But the present officials are not the
sort of men he has been used to, and
I am positive there will be radical, if
not speedy, changes. This talk of
the present pool being formed to keep
np the ex-Villards permanently is
nonsense. What is there to keep
them up? It would take millions to
hold them, and holding them is the
only way to keep their values high.
Then the idea of Jay Gould and Rus
sell Sage being in the pie for any
thing but evil to the Northern Trans
continental It's absurd. As to
Alexander Mitchell, I don't think his
Holland backers are likely to support
him in the matter. He'll have all he
wants to attend to if Potter stays out
of the pool, as I am more and more con
vinced daily that he will. The re
fusal of the Burlington to come to
terms is likely to result in the carry
ing of freight from the Missouri riv
er to Chicago for five cents a hundred.
No, I'm not a bear on N. P. proper.
It is bound to be a good property
when it gets rid of its barnacles."

ette valley. Mr. John Hackleman,
who was assistant state treasurer
some half dozen years ago, returned
last week from Prineville, where he
resides, and says ho had very lately
piloted a corps of engineers belong
ing to the Short Line, from the
Deschutes to Black Butte, which is
on the line both of the Minto pass
ruad and the Lebanon road. He says
they found a much better route than
thejr expected and report they found
a good crossing at Deschutes, thirty
five miles south of Prineville. They
also say they have laid out a good
and feasible route from Snake river,
bending around the Blue mountains
to the south, and following water
courses in a natural way from
the Blue mountains to the Cas
cades without encountering any
impassable corses or high
ridgeK As soon as spring shall open, ;
this force of engineers will survey
the routes across the Cascade. At
present they seem to think the
choice will lie between the Minto i
pass, that crosses on the route of the
North Santiam near the base of
Mount Jefferson, and a pass further
south, this side of the Pengra route.
From what we have seen and heard
we oonclude that the Union Pacific
people have entertained an intention '
to have an independent route to the j
mouth of tbe Co'umbia or to Puget '
sound or both. The latest news fiom
New York shows that Jay Gould and
his set are taking some interest in
the Northern Pacific. It is predicted i
they will soon have control If he I
controls both the Union Pacific and j
Northern Pacific roads there will be
no further inducement for him to '
build the Short Line through as an
independent enterprise. Then schem
ers who toss about millions so hand- j
ily, work in the dark to a certain ex
tent, and have to do so. We shall
watch the outcome of these railroad
movements with interest It may be
possible that it is the Short Line
that is proposing to build a railroad
from Astoria to Tualatin plains as
soon as the land grant is revoked.
Willamette Farmer.
A Great Necessity.
Senator Dolph shows excellent
sense in asking congress to appropri
ate $750,000 for the canal and locks at
the Cascades of the Columbia. The
work done there has been of the best
order and looks ,as if it would last
forever. Then there will be the work
of getting around the Dalles, that
will cost millions more. Our members
of congress must use all their efforts
to secure the improvement of the
great river so that it can do its share
towards transporting tne products or
the country to the sea and to the
world. Portland will evidently find
out that her prosperity depends
greatly on having the river system of
transportation, if steamboats can
run from Astoria to Colvllle and
Lewiston all the year round Portland
has nothing to fear from any city
growing upon Puget Sound. The
producers of the whole northwest are
interested in having our rivers made
navigable so they can assist com
merce. "Water transportation is
cheaper than land travel, and congress
.can well afford to spend the millions
necessary, for this country is well
worth developing. We can raise fifty
millions of bushels of wheat for ex
port, and that is well worth the en
couragement of congress. Willam
