ECCLES INTERESTS
BUY UNITED RAILWAYS

Announcement was made Friday
that d. C.. Eccles OF Salt Lake Is ne
gotiatlng for the purchase OF the
United Railways, tho electric rail-
road owned by the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific and running
from Linnton 10 miles west Of
Wilkesboro. The negotiations are
in progress at st. Paul, with indlca-
tlons that they will be concluded
soon. Mr.. Eccles went there pur-
posely to buy the United Railways
at figure said to be in the neigh
borhood of 100000. Reports
that the Mormon church Is interest
ed in the purchase are denied by
Mr.. Eccles, who said that he was
personally negotiating for owner
ship in the property.
"We have some timber interests"
said Mr.. Eccles, "and we think our
holdings could be improved IL the
line can be bought. Negotiations
have not progressed far enough to
say when the deal will be closed"
The timber interests referred to by
Mr.. Eccles are the acreage formerly
known as the Dubois tract and
bought by Mr.. EccIes and his asso-
ciates a year ago. They are operat-
ing under the name OF the Oregon
Timber company, of which Mr.. Ec-
cles Is president, and Charles T.
Early, Of Portland, vice president,
treasurer and general manager.
The land owned by the Oregon
Lumber company includes $1,000
acres covered with a heavy stand of
timber, chiefly Douglas fir. It Is
probable that other timber tracts in
the same vicinity would be served
and that the entire project will lead
to one of the most important of re-
cent developments in Oregon lumber
ing. The additional railroad to be
built will require some heavy con-
struction. II work can he begun
soon, 1t is expected that II will be
completed by next spring and that
logging operations can be started at
that time

The fun started red hot off the bat
