Lumber Yards Sold.

AS forecasted in last weeks Times
the stock and all business interests
OF the Copeland Lumber company In
Meridian have been purchased by the
Boise-Payette Lumber company, the
headquarters OF which are in Boise.
II is understood that the deal was con-
summated last Friday although not
made public until a couple OF days
later, and that the Boise-Payette con-
Germ will take possession of the local
yards November 20. at which time
the work OF invoicing the stock will
commence
With the Meridian business the
Copeland Co. als0 sold to the same
purchasers its lumber yards at Kuna,
Star and McDermott, making the sale
one OF the largest commercial trans
actions closed in this valley for some
time and giving the Boise-P ayette
company a string of yards that will
serve as retail outlet for the pro-
duct of the big lumber mill at Bar
bertop above Boise. The stock of
building material in the Meridian
yards, exclusive of real estate and
buildings, will invoice about $4,000.
That the Boise-Payette corpora
ton Is desirious of extending its re-
tail business in the Boise valley and
especially in Meridian is indicated by
the rumor that an option has also
been taken on the property of the
Taylor Lumber company Of this
place. While it is stated that this
deal has not been definitely closed, 1t
is not denied that negotiations to
that end have been in progress and
that in all probability the business
will be taken over about the first OF
next month. Such conclusion
would place the lumber and building
material business of Meridian wholly
in the control of the Boise Payette
company.
Following the sale of the Copeland
interests in this section, l.. A. Cope
land, general manager for the same,
and who has made his home and
headquarters here for three years,
left on business trip to Montana
points. He was accompanied by his
father, Joseph Copeland, of Portland,
who has been visiting here for sew
eral weeks. The Coopelands expect
| to engage in the lumber business in
Montana or Washington as branch
of their extensive numbering inter-
ests on the Pacific coast.
l.. A. Copeland, has always taken
an active part in any movement for
the community good since his resi-
dence in Meridian and his intended
departure is much regretted in both
social and business circles. l.. r
Linn who has had charge of the Cope
land yards here the past year and a
| half, has been asked to remain in the
capacity of local manager for the new
company Il. H. Taylor, head of the
Taylor lumber company. Will also bt
retained as manager should hts cor
ILany sell to the Boise-Payette con-
Germ.
