80RIE BUYS BINGHAM SPRINGS AND
PLANS MANY IMPROVEMENTS

]. A. Borie, the well known pioneer
resident of this city, today closed the
purchase of the Bingham Springs SAN
itarius, summer resort and timber
land, consisting of the hotel buildings,
springs, grounds and 500 acres of
land, six miles from Bingham Springs
station, on the o. r. & N. The price
is not made public.
Mr.. Borie has been in charge of the
property for the past 10 days, while
minor details of the deal were being
attended to and today the papers
were signed and the transfer made.
Mr.. Borie will begin at once to
make a large number of improve
ments and repairs and hopes to be
able to place the property in a more
attractive condition and with this end
in view has ordered lumber and shin
giles with which to repair the build
ings.
While he will not be able to carry
out all Of his plans this year, yet he
hopes to entirely change the appear
mace and environment of the popular
resort and will make 1t one of the
leading recreation grounds of the
northwest.
He hopes this year to be able to
improve the road by which automo-
biles will be able to reach the springs;
he will build new bridge to the
swimming pool; will renovate and re-
pair the buildings and hopes to in
stall an electric light plant by which
tho entire grounds and all the build
ings may be lighted.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-03-04

In time he will change the lower
story of the hotel building into club
rooms in which billiards and pool may
be enjoyed and will keep the resort
open all the year.
He expects to plant large garden
this year and will also have the land
scape effect changed and made more
beautiful and will offer every induce
ment for tourists and summer visitors
at the springs He will not change
the name of the resort now, but will
possibly give it another name in flu
ture.
1t is Mr.. Bories intention to have
the timber on the S00-acre tract cruis-
ed and the water power estimated
with a view to utilizing all the eX-
cellent resources of the property.
Later on he expects also to bottle
the water and have 1t placed on the
market through some wholesale firm,
believing that the market value of the
water is superior to much Of the min
eral water now used in large quanti-
ties.
The property was purchased by Mr.
Borie individually from the estate of
the late DR.. J, E. Bingham. The re-
sort is now one of the most popular
in the northwest and Mr.. Borie will
add to its comforts and convenences
in every way to make it attractive to
the public
Mr.. Borie's son. Earl, will be asso-
ciated with him in the management of
the resort and is now in charge of the
property.
