FfTLFiE BATTLES. The beat evidence of stability for the future I Mr. Hammond care In suit ing the expenditure to the needs. It means more money In pocket with which to fight traffic battles after the road open buines. The lock of Judg ment In this respect has been fatal to many of the best built road of late year. Astoria has one advantage, and a very great one, over nearly every west ern city and town. The "boom" struck Astoria for .only a short time before the boom died out. Astoria did not en Joy it long enough to borrow vast sum of money from Eastern capitalist, for making Improvements beyond the act ual needs of the city. This is true !m of Individuals as well as of the cor poration. When the West rise from It depressed condition, Astoria will have a less weight of public and pri vate debt per capita to rise against than almost any other town or city of the West. ARCHIBALD A.

Western, the Delaware & Hudson, the as tor me cnaracter or the railway rn men sent on their money to pur- chose wildcat land, I ninety per cent rroneou. As western lands rose In nominal values, western appraisers for eastern mortgagees. In good faith but unwisely, gave higher ratings on west ern land to the eastern lenders, con sidering tbe higher values aa perma nent. The west was thereby enabled to borrow still more largely and spec ulate more largely, running land still higher, and drawing still more Eastern mortgnge money upon a "safe 50 per cent margin" of security. Then the Const went wild. Town lota became so many poker checks, bought not because of their Income-paying value, but be cause someone else was expected pres ently to bet higher on them. This speculative movement spread gradually over the country, moving westward. It drat came under the writer's notice In Southern California. Then it spread to middle California, and town sites were laid out In every direction. Coming northward, It reached Oregon and Washington generally In 1SSS, having first reached the larger towns Portland, Tnnoma. Seattle. Then It spread to the smaller towns and villages Albany, Snlem, Oregon City, The Dulles, etc. even to little Hood River. Last of all, the wave of speculation reached Astoria, a few month only before It began to recede. CONFIDENCE THE KEY. The Interest-paying power on proper ties most lullnted ceii-sod almost Imme diately upon the stoppage of an up ward movement, because Interest on mortgages on such properties was be ing paid out of profit from the rise of values. The other classes of mortgages quickly followed suit In defaulting on Interest, The value of the security rapidly fell below the mortgage value, and the great body of Eastern Innocent dividual ability would be sufficient to gather that amount of population soon. Assuming the value of such a popula tion at one dollar per capita per day, Mr. Hammond would start with over three million dollars per annum against him at the outset, besides all the val ues of the present city and its im provements. A strong combination of capitalists can do this. By throwing their money and Influence for a rival city they can for a number of years, until time shows to the Intending business Investor that the new effort has been useless, and Erie, have their freight yards from one and one-half to three and one-half miles from the center of New York City, taking the postoftice as the cen ter; and these roads would not attempt to onerute such vnrda within th.

The New Haven road has Us freight yards at Port Morris, seven miles from the New York postolllce. The Baltimore & Ohio has large freight yards on Staten Isl and postolllce. The New York Central has two freight yards within the city at distances respectively of three miles and four and one-half miles from the postolllce. The dilllcultlcs and annoy ances from being cramped by city re strictions, and the distribution from these yards Is so difficult, thnt thou sands of tons of freight are delivered construction, the writer can call atten tion to some features which he knows, from experience on nearly all the transcontinental lines, are much ln fa vor of the Columbia River road.
