LAND. Have Put AN IHTEBY1EW WITH WM. EEID. What He Saw and Accomtfisbetl on His Recent Eastern Trio- Affjiir-. of th. '.stoii.i .mil Kailromt. South tVasr devonian, 20. Christmas being a day of rest, an Oregon ian reporter thought be would succeed in catching Mr. Wm. lteid and get the results of bis recent visit to the states, and be succeeded. Ho first asked Mr. lteid what was the topic of greatest interest in the east legarding Oregon? Mr. Reid said: "The improvements and breakwater at the mouth of the Columbia. It is now fully recognized in the east that the only practicable ocean entrance for shipping and direct foreign commerce to all parts of the btate of Oregon is across the Columbia bar, and that if this fails, Oregon's foseign commerce must pass through Puget bound, and be subsidiary to Washington. For that reason the progress of the breakwater has been watched and its probable results dis counted. I was surprised at the ques tions of railroad capitalists, of ship owners and merchants trading with Oregon. They do not ask as before, 'What progress is the state making?' but 'Is the breakwater to be a success; what is now the depth of water on the bar: will Oregon get enough appro priations to complete the work, and when will thejargest ships be able to trade with Oregon as they do with California; how will the final comple tion of the breakwater allect the ship ping trade of Puget sound in compe tition with the Columbia river?' and similar questions. "Then you recommend pushing the work on the breakwater: "I do. Not onlv so, but I say if the breakwater is to be finished it must be done right away and pushed vigorous ly; otherwise vested interests will be acquired in Puget sound hard to re move. If very soon satisfied that the Columbia can be made available for fLe largest trading alilp" Uan.viiti nental lines will not go to the Sound from choice. I speak from authority, and the old channel of commerce for wheat by rail from eastern Oregon and Washington by way of the Colum bia will be restored. Now is tho time for all citizens of Oregon, the board of trade and resident capitalists to urga, or rather to quicken congress to hast en the final appropriation required, before other transcontinental lines get located on the Sound. I believe that all other internal improvements, public or private, in Oregon, should be made a becondary consideration until that breakwater is first finished." "What is the opinion, Mr. Reid, of the results of the breakwater on the future trade of Oregon if it is a suc cess?" "ft is fully believed that if thirty feet of water is obtained at low tide on the Columbia bar and channel, and the United States engineers assured me it would, it will revolutionize the foreign and domestic shipping trade of the north Pacific coast, and divert it entirely to the Columbia river and to Portland, except local trade of the Sound. Railroads shaping their course and plans for Puget sound, not through choice, but to get deep water, now stop and are awaiting further de velopments. I succeeded by my argu ments in stopping one transconti nental line from going to the Sound, and another line is hesitating now and will wait the action of congress this winter. Senators Dolph and Mitchell both recognize the importance of the breakwater, and so does JBinger Her mann; but their hands must be strengthened by speedy md unani mous action of the citizens of our state at large." "How about the Astoria and South Coast railway, Mr. Reid?" ""I had no difficulty in finding pur chasers for the bonds upon the con dition of transfer and ownership of the entire stock of the company. Two propositions were made me ou that basis, and one for its consolidation with certain lines in the state of Wash ington, but as the desire of the people of Astoria to me was to procure capi talists who would make Astoria their western or Pacific coast terminus, my negotiotians to secure that end were consequently more protracted. A third proposition was to give three transcontinental lines trackage agree ments to run over the road from Port land to Astoria, or joint ownership of the line, which was not tinanimous."
