CANCELLATION OF
LEASE PROBABLE

Caldwell, Oct. 30.-The cancellation
of the lease held by the Sebree in
terests of the Wilder line from the
Oregon Short Line which it leased last
year with view to its identification
is highly probable. This fact was vir-
tually admitted today by w. r. Sc
bree, president of the Caldwell Trac-
ton company, when he said upon be-
ing pressed for statement as to his
probable course, ITO be frank with
you, the proposition is being consid-
cred but has not yet been determined"
Mr.. Sebree also stated that as a mat
ter of business he is having to con-
slider a reduction of service on his
electric line. In explaining his posi-
ton, he said Had we been able to
carry on our plan for the electrifica-
ton of the Wilder line, thus making
single system of the two lines the
economy of operation would have
eliminated any question of retrench-
ment. Our electric equipment Is in
service on our present line not to ex-
coed so per cent of its normal capac-
ity."
