Lines to be Bought by the
Northern Pacitic.

Northern Pacific.
PORTLAND, OREGON, July H.-Robert
arris, President of the Northern Pacific
abroad, arrived here Saturday night.
. .csterday he said the rumor of lease
w the Northern Pacific of the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation Lines were true.
Negotiations have been in progress for
month or more on the basis of what
WAS made public some time since, viz:
Paving all fixed charges and six per cent.
on the stock the first year. per cent
the SECOND year. and 3 per cent. there
after MIR, Harris desired 1t understood
that the Oregon Railroad and Navigation
Co,nuMny had not made Il direct oiler to
make the lease at these figures, and that
the Northern Pacific had not offered to
nav this amount, but the negotiations
were In progress on terms satisfactory to
both companies. As the transaction in
wolves TOO miles of railway in operation,
100 under construction aud 600 N!leS OF
steamboat lines, twenty-five steamboats,,
i've ocean steamers, several pieces OF
dock property, and the interest in the
Terminal works here, it will require an
unusual amount of clerical labor before
the formal transfer can be made. This
will probably be done, however, late in
August. In reference to the Union Pacific,
Mr.. Harris said it had traffic contract
for ten years, and it would enter Portland
on terms as good rs the Northern Pacific
during that period.
