"Whether the dog shall wag tho tall, or the tail Bhall wag the dog is the question to bo decided! in Portland next Monday, when occurs the annu al meeting o &e O. B. & N. Co., and the Oregon and Transcontinental Co. The latter named organization has always been a bladdery sort of associ atipn, and had about the same rela tion to tho O. B. &-N, and other rail ways In this J state, that a "construc tion company" has to the owners of the road. Its affairs are praotically being administered upon, and the O. K. & N. Co. would appear to be its legatee. The real fight is between the Northern Pacific and the Oregon Short Lino (which is but another name' for tho Union Pacific). It is thi3 that makes Monday's meeting so important. The O. K. & N. Co., is able to dictate terms and occupies admirable ground. Whoever makes the best overtures wins the prize. The O. K. & N. Co. now has nearly ever outlet from Snake river to As toria, and what is of particular value to that corporation is the fact that it has the monopoly of seventy-five miles of the road where fhe Columbia river forces its way through the Cas cades. It is there; its track is built; it occupies the ground, and there is room foi no other. This makes it master of the situation. The Unidn Pacific needs it; the Northern Pacific must have it; both want it, and tho highest bidder takes it. When the Tillard ''system' began to tumble to pieces the O. R. fc N. suffered least for it was the best piece of properly that went under the generic term 'Yillnrd stocks." Long before the crash came it was seen that tho interests of tho N. P. B. R. Co., and the O. B. & N. Co., were diametrically opposite and that opposition of interests wus in evitable. To-day the Northern Pa cific people are in better shape than the Union .Pacific or Oregon Short Line men, for the Northern Pacific folks in their seeking for a tide water outlet can go to the Sound. Of course it will cost them more to build and maintain that route, but there is a possibility that may be the result of the fight for possession of the north west trade. .The unknown factor in tho problem is the possession of the majority of 0. B. &, N. stock. Few know, and those that know won't tell. While guessing is in order and one guess is as good as another, it is our belief that Jay Gould has as much to do with it as anybody. With all this Astoria has an inti mate ooncorn, and while a possibility of independence exists and the prob abilities of a coast line are bv no meanB obscure, it appears as though for the present the O. E. & N. Co. had the most to do with the matter. The Oregon Short Lino is dallying with points to tho Sound; the North ern Pacific has based its most tangi ble'hopes on the Sound; and in that direction lies our mosc .formidable rival. Astoria has always exercised a good deal of independence in this matter, conscious that in time her in comparable situation and geographi cal .facilities would bring to her the elements of material wealth, and in the present situation it is to her best interests that neither company shall jobiain any monopoly of tho routes or passes. It would, hurt our futuro to have the Northern Pacific capture the works, and it would delay our ultimate success to have the Oregon Short Line secure control of the river passes. Habpek's Weekly, and the New i ;Xork Times, both strong Republican journals, are both going to work against Blaine throughout the fight. One wanted Arthur and the other wanted Edmunds, and because the convention wouldn't give them what they wanted they kick. Pbofessou Swax, United States fish commissioner, having submitted 4o experts of the Smithsonian insti tute at Washington samples of canned salmon caught In fresh and salt wa ter, has received a report that the saltwater caught fish aro the most esteemed. The public English mind is scmo what pacified as to General Gordon. It is now understood that his present position involves no further priL The Mahdi is in the same position at El Obeid that Gordon is at Khar toum. Tilben's nomination is said to rest upon, the question of his ability to guarantee John Kellev the position of-mayorof New York. If he can do that John will not oppose him. " Otherwise, otherwise. These are five times as many ac cordiona" as guitars in Mexico. This is the strongest argument yet ad vanced against the United States an nexing Mexico. 9 The Oregon congressman draws about $625 mileage. It is worth "about $7,000 a year to represent tho "Webfoot nation at "Washington. " Campaign poets shouid find no diffi culty in making a rhyme for Blaine.
