RIPLEY AFTER
SIERRA LINE
Santa Fe Secures Option
on the Railroad Built
by Prince POniatOwski
THORSEN EFFECTS DEAL
Rich Wisconsin Lumberman
Acting in the Interest
of TranScOntinental Line

The report is being persistently cir
culated in local railroad and FINANCIAL
circles that the recent Incorporation Of
a company to build a six-mile road
from Oakdale, the southern terminus
of the Sierra Railway, to Riverbank,
station on the line of the Santa Fe, Is
the forerunner Of bigger deal, involv-
Sierra Railway.
According to the information now in
the possession of men Of finance, Will
liam r. Thorsen of Wisconsin, head OF
the syndicate which purchased the
West Side Lumber Company's plant in
Tuclumne County two years ago and
has just incorporated the company
which will build the road from Oakdale
to Riverbank. has secured an option
on the Sierra Railway property. 1t is
claimed that Thorsen, since he first
came to California two years ago, has
been quietly working for the Santa Fe
Company with a view Of securing for
it a foothold in the big timber dis
tricts in Tuolumne and adjacent coun-
ties. and while engineering this scheme
he took advantage of an opportunity
to purchase the West Side Lumber
Companys interests.
RIPLEY STEALS A MARCH.
About a year ago a company, in
which Thorsen is said to have been the
hacker, incorporated for the purpose
of building a road from point on the
Sierra Railway to Claus, a station of
the Santa Fe. The attempts of the
company to secure rights of way were
thwarted by the Southern Pacific. 1t
was then that Thorsen, acting under
advice of the president and other lead
ing officials of the Santa Fe. under
took another project and before the
Southern Pacific Company realized the
fact the newly incorporated company.
known as the Oakdale and Western
Railroad, had obtained the necessary
rights of way between Riverbank and
Oakdale and let it's contract for grad
ing. Before accomplishing this much,
however, Thorsen had been dealing
with the stockholders of the Sierra
Railway and obtained an option in his
own name, but which, in reality, is for
the Santa Fe Company.
THORSEN HURRIEs EAST.
The option guarantees Thorsen con-
troll of the road as soon as he has
made a sufficient financial advance
ment on the major portion of the stock
that is bonded to him and to carry out
this object he is now in the East con-
ferring with the representatives of
the Santa Fe. During the progress of
the recent deal Thorsen made his head

SAM BOLEN STAYED
LIMIT WITH JOE CANS
Veteran Fooled Wise Ones by Unex-
pected Cleverness-Champion
Down in Fifteenth Round.

BALTIMORE. Nd, April 22-The vet
eran San Bolen last night sprung d sur
prise on the lightweight champion. Joe
Cans, before the Eureka Athletic Club.
Although Cans was awarded the deci-
sion, the bout went the limit of fifteen
rounds. and Bolen gave the local boy all
that he could attend TO.
For the first five rounds the battle was
even. In the sixth the champion began
forcing matters. and in the seventh had
Bolen's left eye damaged and his nose
bleeding. BOlen came back strong and
was hghting like a Trojan. Cans kept
up his aggressive work, but Bo;en fought
Wen and did some clever blocking.
A right to the jaw sent Bolen to the
floor, in the eleventh round, and he took
the count OF nine. In the fourteenth a
hook TO the same place again sent him
down. In the fifteenth round Cans was
sent TO the canvas. II was a hard fight.
and Cans, In comparison TO his previous
bouts, put up a very slow fight.
