AN EASTERN MAN'S OPINION
As to The Puture of This Section.
A Comprehensive View of The Situation.
Astoria, Oct. 18, 1888.
Editor Asteeian: Having
spent some time on the Columbia
river, anu. in your cuy anu auja
cent country, it has occurred to
me that your people might not be
uninterested in the opinion of an
eastern man concerning your fu
ture. Gentlemen of Astoria, your for
tune and destiny are in your own
hands, to be marred or made by
your own acts.
Your present situation, in a
country with so many great and
varied natural resources, is an an
omalous one; hitherto your great,
and almost only industry, has been
the salmon packing business. This
industry has culminated, and can
add but little more to your growth
as a city.
What are you to do? I an
swer, you must open up new in
dustries. To do this you must
open your back country for set
tlement. How? By building railroads.
Some of your citizens have
formed a company and started to
build a road to Tillamook. This
is the best possible move for you
to make; it should have been in
augurated years ago, and in suc
cessful operation at this time.
Had this been done, the assessed
value of property in your county
and city would have been three
times greater than it is to-day.
What is particularly noticable
and anomalous in your financial
status, is, there is no fixed and de
terminate value to real estate.
Build this -projected railroad and
this situation will give place to
progress and stability.
When this road has crossed the
divide between your country and
Tillamook you will see a stream
of settlers pouring over this road,
and beyond it, that will astonish
you.
From the commencement of the
building of this road you can date
an era in the growth and prosper
it of "your city.
You should push it to comple
tion as soon as possible. Every
man who has any interest in the
city or the county should do some
thing toward the work. You
should get at this work with an
energy and determination that
knows no failure; throw all petty
wrangling differences aside; work
unitedly, and tell the man who is
unwilling to help to get to the
the rear or the procession.
Tn all of my travels, and they
have been somewhat extended, I
have not seen another 40 miles of
unappropriated route for railroad
that offers so great inducements
for construction of a road and
promises so speedy and profitable
returns as this route which you
have now secured by .your incor
poration and commencement of
construction.
One consideration of great value :
the road when finished can be
very cheaply operated. Fuel is
abundant and cheap, you have no
snows to contend with in winter,
no rivers, creelcs or canyons to
cross, the sudden rising Of whose
waters, will endanger yourbndges.
Let me outline to you what is
within reasonable probability.
We will put the entire cost of
the road at $500,000, including
equipment; you should raise one
fourth of this amount, viz: $125,
000. You can bond the road for
the balance, $375,000. When
your road has crossed Young's
bay it will commence earnmg
money, and will continue to earn
money during the entire period of
construction. This money earned
during construction will be paid
to you in stock dividends.
And I hazard the opinion that
if the roau, alter completion, be
properly handled, and all compli
cations are avoided, will have,
within five years after completion,
earned sufficient money to pay
running expenses and pay off all
its indebtedness, and the man who
has put $1,000 into the road will
be the owner of an interest that
will be worth from $3,000 to
$5,000.
Now, gentlemen, I will tell you
something, and I did not get my
information from Charles Francis
Adams, but it is ex cathedra, all
the same, within five years the
Union Pacific will have a line of
Asian steamers sailing from "the
mouth of the Columbia and these
steamers will not go above Tongue
point.
What does this signify? It
means that there will be a trans
continental railroad down to As
toria. But the transfer of freight from
the great steamers to the trans
continental will not make you a
great city. You must be ready
with vour feeder: with cars loaded
-with lumber, salmon, and other
products arising from the develop
ment of the country at Tillamook,
Nehalem, Astoria and other points,
to be run on the great transconti
nental, and not to be unloaded un
til they have reached the great
markets of the east; in the mean
time capital will be attracted to
you. You will have flouring mills,
foundries, machine shops, ship
yards, and all kinds of manufac
tories adapted to your climate, sit
uation and enterprise.
Of all the great railroad mag
nates who have been on this coast
Charles Francis Adams alone has
paid you a friendly visit. And
here let me remark, Charles Fran
cis Adams is a worthy descendant
of his great grandfather, John
Adams, who was the sturdiest
figure, among that band of colossii
who declared and achieved Amer
ican independence.
Charles Francis Adams, three
years ago, in company with Sena-
ator John Sherman, paid you a
visit. In a short address to the
citizens of Astoria he told you,
very significantly, that he hoped
to see the time when there would
be a transcontinental roundhouse
in Astoria.
Circumstances at that time ren
dered the realization of that hope
a distant and uncertain probabilty.
The situation is changed. Un
foreseen contingencies, the rush of
crowding events, all conspire to
bring the materialization of that
prescient hope to a rapid comple
tion. John Sherman also addressed
you. Mis words were pregnant
with prophetic meaning; with the
military sense common to his fam
ily, he recognized the. national im
portance of the mouth of the Co
lumbia. In private conversation he ex
pressed the opinion that this was
the point of danger, and the vul
nerable point on the Pacific sea
board. With what indignation and
shame must John Sherman have
learned that the secretary of war,
on the recommendation of a Miss
Nancy, who should have been
dressed in petticoats instead of a
military frock, had withdrawn the
small garrison from the mouth of
the Columbia.
It is true that this small garri
son, as a defensive body, didn't
amount to much, yet as the title
of the United States to this terri
tory is little more than that of oc
cupation, it served 'as notice to the
enterprising foreigner, who some
frosty morning might say, "I think
I will drop in there, supplant and
settle," that the United States at
some time when she had leisure,
and had nothing else to do, in
tended to erect such fortresses,
forts, batteries, ship yards, docks,
magazines, and stations for sup
plies, as would be sufficient no
tice to all the world that she in
tended a permanent occupation of
the country.
Some of your people have an
idea that the Northern Pacific or
Southern Pacific may probably
lead to your city. There is noth
ing in it. Neither of these roads
will build to your city. The
Southern Pacific will build to the
Sound, crossing the Columbia at
some point between Hunter's and
Rainier where, uniting with the
Northern Pacific a union bridge
will be built. The expense of the
ferry at Kalama is very great. A
bridge avoids delay in ferriage and
is an ever constant danger of in
terruption of traffic from accidents
to the ferry.
The policy of the Southern Pa
cific does not favor the building of
a great seaport north of San Fran
cisco.
I have already drawn this letter
out to a greater length than I in
tended, and yet have said but little
of what I intended to say.
Before I return to my Jiome on
the Atlantic seaboard, I shall write
ycu another letter, in which I shall
give reasons, showing the necessi
ty for immediate fortification of
the mouth of the Columbia. Also
the opinions in well informed cir
cles touching the impending Asian
revolution, and its effect upon the
Pacific coast trade, and shall also
give you an outline of the proba
ble route of the great Russian and
Pacific railroad. When it is assert
ed that that road will reach the
Pacific littoral at some point south
of Corea, it certainly foretells a
conflict.
Without being particularly rash,
I will predict that beforo the close
of the nineteenth century, there
will not be a port in "Asia that will
not be as free to the commerce of
the world as the port of New
York. X.
