HE Seattle Star of last Tuesday
- reports negotiations about con.
cluded for the sale of Moran Br0s.
great ship-building plant in Seattle
and twenty-five acres Of waterfront
property to eastern capitalists for
s., 100000. The statement is made
thst Tor two weeks an expert from
the east has been in the Office of the
Moran Bros. Company, going over
the books of the company and pre-
pairing for the contemplated transfer
of the property. The Star says:
"It is understood that with the sale
of their business William and Robert
Moran will permanently retire from
active business. They have purchas-
ed several thousand acres of land on
Orcas island and there intend to
build splendid homes for themselves.
In was for this purpose the Orcas
island property was purchased, and
not, as has several times been pub
lished, for the purpose of removing
the plant of the company to this new
site. Robert Moran has for years
look ed forward to the time when he
would be able to cast aside business
affairs and retire to his Orcas island
home. To get away from the city
and close to nature has been his dream
for long time, and he looks for the
sale of his business interests to bring
this dream true. Mr.. Moran has
never been in a theater in Seattle,
has never made it practice to visit
any of the clubs in which he has al
ways held membership, and aside
from his Office and workshop only his
home has known him."
The people Of this county, and es-
pecially of Orcas island, will rejoice
and be exceeding glad" if the Stars
story is true. Since making their
purchases on Orcas island little
over year ago both Robert and Will
liam Moran have evinced genuine
interest in affairs in this county and
the latter has spent large portion
of his time at his cottage on the shore
of Cascade lake.
It seems to the ISLANDER quite inn
probable that so forceful man as
Robert Moran contemplates leading
a life of idleness and seclusion, how
ever eager he may be to relieve him
self from the great burden of business
responsibility which he has been car
rying for many years in building up
from small beginnings one OF the
greatest industrial establishments in
the west. He has recently purchased
WQat Is COQSIucTCu O Solo0OAO AAAAsO
property across the bay from bis
Newhall holdings and it may reason
ably be assumed that he did not buy
it for summer resort or hermitage.
It is possible, but not probable, that
he intends to convert Cascade and
Mountain lakes into frog ranches with
the idea Of supplying frogs legs to
Seattle epicures, and perhaps he
plans to use the fine Newhall water
power to turn grindstone or oper-
ate an electric car line to the top OF
Mt. Constitution, where one OF bis
brothers has just taken up land
claim. But whatever his plans may
be and however eager the public may
be to know them it should be conceded
that he is under no obligation to an
nounce them with great blare OF
or exploit them in the
press.
