CROSSETT TIMBER
SOLD TO PALMER
DEAL INVOLVING 100000 is RE-
PORTED cLoSED-TlMBER
LAND VALUES.

The deal pen ling for several
months between the Crossett Timber
company and the Palmer Lumber
company for the timber holdings of
the former, is believed to be closed.
County Clerk Boatman has been ex-
pecting the deeds for recording cor
some time, owing to information re-
ceived by local firm in regard to
business that would only be ordered
if the deal was closed.
| The deal is one of the largest in
Eastern Oregon for some time and
Is said to involve 100000 for the
$4,000 acres owned by the Cross ect
company in Wal owa and Union coun-
ties, the amount in Union coun-
ty, however, being small. This is
at the rate of $14 an acre, bat even
that figure does not repres ent any
way near the real value of Wallowl
county timber land, as a dispatch
in Saturdays Cregonian from "Mc-
Allister,' says the Palmer people
will sell their new purchase and their
old holdings to Chicago syndicate
for 500 an acre.
The Crossett company has bo9l
buying timber land in Wallowa coun-
ty for the past three or four years,
and last March was assessed on &c.
600 acres. 1t has extensive holdings
ilong the Wallowa river below Mi
man, on Smith Mountain and has
bought many claims in townships /,
and north, A. 1t has, on rough
guess, paid less than $40 an acre on
on average for the claims, so its
profit Is close to so per cent. Not
bad for sure thing.
The Oregonian dispatch says the
Palmer mill at La Grande will be in
cluded in the deal, II made, to the
Chicago syndicate.
The Crossett and Palmer COM
panies are two of the three that
raised such howl because AS Jess
0r Pace assessed their timber land
At $6,25 an acre. They have carried
their protest up to the circuit court,
the cases being set for the May
term.
