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."
