That w. A. Clark proposes to go into

large purchases of timber lands in
this county. Yesterday a deed went

+ Big Blackfoot river in the northern
part of Deer Lodge county. The con-
sideration named in the deed was s21,-
SIS and $22 worth of revenue stamps
adorned the document.
The grantor in this deed was r. M.
Cobban, formerly of Butte and now of
Missoula. BY a deed filed several
weeks ago. also in Deer Lodge county,
Mr.. Cobban transferred to Mr.. Clark
a big block of timber land for con-
sideration more than $4,000. The land
was situated in the vicinity of that
purchased yesterday.

been buying timber land on a large
scale and it is now believed his pur-
chases were made in the interests of
Mr.. Clark.
