"Ilia corporation hns bought 1,300,000,000 feet of standing llr In that country, mid turned over about six million dollars Into tho coffers of owners of Oregon timber lands. "HIb rompnny was ready and pre pared to build a railroad Into that region, and haul out their own tim ber.

"Ono thing Mr. Wendllng hiib arhloved great credit for, nnd that Is aro engaged In building railroads nnd ANOTHER STOItY OF DEAL. Eugene Heglster MxpIaltiH Why Op tiou Wiim Given Up. Tho Eugeno Register publishes tho following story concerning an option there which wns not taken advantage of: "Tho statement thnt tho South ern Pacific compnny had allowed Its option on tho McClnren plnco Just west of tho city limits to lapse, there by carrying tho Idea thnt tho compnny Is growing less active In its railroad building from Eugeno to Coos Dny, Is an unwarranted misstatement. If tho publisher of thnt precious bit of hot nlr had taken tho trouble to look tho matter up on tho county record he would find thnt tho Southern Pa cific company never took an option on the McClnren tract, did not wnnt It for nny purpose, and hnvlng never had It, could not let It Inpso. "The records show that nn option wns tnkeu by .lease Hounds nnd It Is fnlr to supposo It wiib for O. X. Wend llng and Ills associates. It was taken before tho Wendllng company had ni ranged with the Southern Pacific company to build nnd prolmbly for tho purpose of making terminal grounds. When the Southern Pacific rompnny nrrnnged to build the rondJ Mr. Wendllng went to tho McClureiiH, when he wns heie to attend the ban quet, nnd unld thnt they would not wnnt the laud and the option could bo declared off ns they would not need It. Tho McClnrens knew that the option wuh off at that time nnd the Southern Paclllc company had had nothing whatever to do with It." RAISES MIO PEARS.
