OUTFLANKING PORTLAND.
tjjE -wonderful increase in real es
tate values in Astoria and the im
mense amount oE money from Hie out
sidetiiat lias flowed in here, and that
TriU find its way tether in the next few
months, wM have a result on the
railroad situation at Astoria that is
not yet appreciated to any great ex
tent," either by Astoria residents or by
outside investors. At present real es
tate men are awaking with breathless
anxiety the decision of the Union Pa
cific, or of this road or that The very
decided! favorable declarations of
the Union Pacific magnates and
others, are still distrusted; positive ac
tion i- awaited; it is feared that some
slip or hitch In plans may occur.
Meantime Astoria is growing to be a
very large and important place -without
the assistance of theTJnionPacific;
and within two years, if the Union Pa
cific has not built down to
Astoria, Astoria will be build
ing to Portland, and with
no love lost for the U. P., and no pre
disposition to grant the many favors
-which the TJ. P. will by and by be
asking of the Astoria city fathers in
laection with railroad facilities
kre. We hardly need hunt for a
pro t of this future action of Astoria,
for such a proof is found at our very
doors. The Oregon & California, in
fluenced by Portland, neglected build
ing down, and now Astoria is build
ing up. So will it be with the Union
Pacific, if, as some doubters assert, the
17. P- men mean nothing now. The cor
poration that will build and control
all thee entrances to Astoria will in
twenty years be one of the most pow
erful and rich corporations in the
northwest- Picture any corporation
controlling the New York & New Hav
en, New York Central, New York &
Erie, New Jersey Central, and Penn
sjlvania entrances into New York; or
a similar corporation for Boston, or
New Orleans, or Baltimore; and with
a pach reduction as any ordinary
j ilc would allovjfor the future Asto
rh as compared with those cities, the
valu of such a control of entrances is
immense. In San Francisco and the
S. ?. Co. we sec such a control, and
we find that the S. P. company in a
f w j ears has grown to be almost in
vincible in California. The absurdity
o! thee companies not eagerly grasp
ing ai such a chance of entrance to
our seaport will be seen in less than
five ears from to day. The situation
is largely caused by men in Portland
(who are not railroad men but are
ba lkcr, real estate owners, merchants.

THE GREATEST RAILROAD
AMERICA.
IN
The recent combination of the Yan
derbllt and Union Pacific interests has
attracted attention chiefly because of
thn fact of its reaching from ocean to
oc?an, and binding together New York,
the home of the Astibrs, on the Atlan
tic, with Astoria, the seaport selected
by the Astors on the Pacific. The im
mense importance of this consolidation
lieo less in the length of line than in
the masterly design forgathering what
might be termed all the United States
into that transcontinental highway.
The great fork at the eastern end,
(gathering at the seaboard both from
New York and the Gulf) and the great
brk at the western end, (gathering
from San Diego or Los Angeles on the
south Pacific, and from Astoria on the
North Pacific) give the consolidation
an advantage no other possible consol
idation can ever equaL The main
trunk or artery connecting these east
ern and western forks i3 located so
centrally in the United States that no
other route can gather seaboard busi
ness, both north and south, with the
s cf this Yanderbilt-Umon Pacific
"oute. The echemo leaves nothing
lacking. Taken in connection with
ta Nicaragua canal, it girdles every
1'ing. No possible flow of business
cither transcontinental, or local to the
seaboard and thence, via Nicaragua,
can be imagined, where this combina
lion has not every advantage. "Who
ever designed it, is a'Napoleon in rail
roading. Itmishtbe added, as a short but
pertinent corollary, will those plan
ning such a great project consent that
the north ami of the Pacific end or
fork shall fail to reach the ocean; that
this fork shall he cut a hundred miles
short at Portland, the local interests
of which, taken in connection with so
vast a scheme, are ntterly insignifi
cant, Before the great money power
of such a combination and the wishes
of the great financiers of the east who
are putting through this scheme, the
resistance .of local Portland magnates,
so far from prevailing, will hardly be
perceptible.
