To Build
Railroad
at Astoria

A recent dispatch from Astoria
says;
A deal involving large tracts Of tim
ber land in Clatsop county is being
negotiated by A, S. Kerr a Seattle
Capitalist. Consummation Of the pro-
ject will mean the manufacture of
lumber on a large scale and that log
ging operations will be commenced
within a few months.
In connection with the project steps
are being taken TO form corporation
with capital stock of $lO,00O,OO0 to
act as holding company for some of
the big timber interests and to con-
duct the development and operations
The company, firms and individuals
which are to unite their interests are
said to be the Wright Blodgett com
pany, the Blodgett company Limited
A. S Kerr, the Oregon-Washington
Timber company and the Booth-Kelly
Lumber company, with combined hold
ings amounting to approximately q
900, 100000 feet Of standing timber,
located in Nehalem valley and the
eastern part of the county
In addition to these, it is also re-
ported that the Nehalem Investment
company John E. Dubois and. the
Wheeler Lumber company may be alb
sorbed, Each of these own extensive
tracts In the southern and southwest
ern section of the county.
Railroad Is Contemplated.
The first work contemplated by the
new company is the construction Of a
logging railroad 21 miles in length, eX-
tending from a point on the Columbia
river about one mile below Woods
landing between that place and West
port, over the ridge and to the Ne
halem river. Surveys for this road
have been completed and party Of
cruisers, representing the company
that is to float the bonds, is now maxi
ing n cruise of the timber. The pro-
posed road is to be of first-class con-
struction with maximum grade of 2
per cent. In order to secure this grade
the line will be nine miles long before
reaching the crest of the divide.
It is understood that the plans pro-
vide for commencing construction ear
ly in January, so that the first tract
Of timber belonging to the proposed
combination, which is eight miles from
the Columbia river. may be tapped
next summer, Plans are being rushed
because certain sections Of the timber
have been burned over recently, and,
in order to save the trees from being
destroyed by worms, they must be cut
within the next few years.
Haste Is Necessary.
Another reason for haste is that
much of the timber was bought on
contracts which provide that It must
be removed within 10 or IS years, and
in some instances fully half that time
has expired.
The fact that the Booth Kelley COM
pany is actively interested in this pro-
iect leads to the belief that not only
will the new corporation conduct ex-
tensive logging operations, but that It
will also erect large sawmills in the
lower river district and engage In the
manufacture of lumber on a mammoth
scale For time It was presumed that
the Blodgett interests intended to join
with the Western Cooperage company
and extend the Astoria Southern rail
way to the Nehalem valley, but later
developments indicate this plan has
been superseded by much more ex-
tensiye project.

MORMONS MAY FIGHT

resistance against the demands of
revolutionists has been threatened by
Mormon colonists at DubIan and
Colonia Juarez, according to a letter
writteh by Julius Romeny, a colonist,
and received today by the first presi-
dency of the Mormon church here.
Mr. Romney said that a band of
twenty-five revolutionists under the
command of one Enrique Portillo de-
manded that the colonists furnish
suns, ammunition and horses in the
name OF Inez Salazar, head of the Lib
eral1st movement in Chihuahua.
