WHO OWNS THE

Remaining Third Il Unknown, But

The Spokane, Portland & Seattle
Railway company has sold one
third interest In its entire properties
and lines to the Northern Pacific
railroad company. A deed conveying
these interests was placed on file at
Vancouver today. 1t is said another
third interest will within the next few
days be conveyed in the same manner
to the Great Northern Railway COM
pany. The ownership OF the remain
ing 33 1-3 per cent is not divulged.
The transferring of a one-third in
terest I'm the north bank road to each
OF the Northern and Great Northern
railway companies is a matter occa-
sioning considerable surprise. II has
always been supposed that the road
was Jointly owned. share and share
alike, by the two big railroad systems
comprising the Hill interests in the
extreme northwest.
These big companies have given
1t out that they were furnishing the
money equally to build the road that

basin and the willamette valley from
all points on the northern lines. The
question that now looks most inter-
esting is: Who owns the unnamed

Despite the apparent harmony be-

Hill crowd. there is usually to be
found within the inner work.

directly to a single corporation, In
this instance It is evidently the Great

The consideration named in the !

was then IS years old. l had
never been down the river far
ther than four or FIVE miles in a
canoe fishing, and when ! started
no one had any idea that l would
ever reach Georgetown, but l
did; and that trip caused the
opening up OF the ton timber
from Midway section to lower
bridge. In Williamsburg | went
to work and built fiat boats and
foated rosin just after the war
from Kingstree to Georgetown,
and that was the opening of all
the turpentine business on and
above Pudding swamp and as
high up as Midway church. In
Clarendon I boated nearly all of
the turpentine and rosin that
was made by Moore & Wilson, P
