STILL BUYING TIMBER.
In Southern Benton What the
People Say nf 1t.

Several thousand acres OF
choice land IN Southern Benton
has, according to report, already
been purchased Oy olg eastern
company through the agent, Mr..
Buck, and other tracts are being
taken as rapidly as the deals can
DC made. No one On the outside
knows exactly now many acres
have been purchased already.
This is the statement OF a
prominent farmer from the Belle
fountain nelghDorhood, in Cor
Wallis the last of the week. By
ron Woodbridge of the same local.
lty is engaged as timber cruiser
tor the big Company, and the re-
port is that ]. w. Waters, who
recently sold out his big milling
interests for $40, 900 is to some
extent interested as stock hold
er in the concern.
1t seems that this company
has given out the promise that in
due course OF time tley will put
in plant that will furnish en-
ployment for 900 men. This Is
to be located, according to the
general belief, either at Junction
City or Corvallis, probably at the
latter place, where the surplus or
waste lumber would meet a ready
demand as wood.
Mr.. Buck, the company's re-
preventative, spends good por-
ton of his time in the Southern
Benton territory, investigating
the various tracts of TIMBER that
are offered for sale.
the people of Bellefountain
and vicinity are intensely inter-
ested in the maneuvers of the
easterners, and are looking for
ward to time when they will
thus be placed in touch with the
outside world. Railroad tacili-
ties have long been denied them,
but with the prospect held out by
the big company it is only mat
ter of time, in their opinion, un-
til all this will be changed, and
Bellefountain transforme into a
thriving little city.
