MORTGAGE FLOATED' RAISES REQUIRED SUM May Mean That They Will Put in Mill Here to Manufac ture Timber. That Porter Urothors . railroad contractors nnd timber magnates and builders of tho Eiigcne-Cooa liny lino for tho Southern Pacific, aro the .people behind W. J. Wllsey and tin real purchnscrs of Major L. D. Kin ney's Coos liny properties, Is th story thnt la told today nnd Is ap parently born out. There Is no of llclnl verification of tho story ami thoro will probably not bo for some time. In fact a denial of It Is expect ed until those Involved nro ready for giving out tho matter, tho same as followed tho original announcement In Tho Times that Porter llrothers wero taking over part of tho K. W. Wright purchases In MarBhflchl and which wero Inter olllclally confirmed. Hitherto, It hns been given out thnt Wllsey wns acting for a foreign syndicate, principally English capi talists, In the purchase of tho Kin ney properties here, llowoVor, th,i deal has not been closed and us It probnbly will bo a few weeka before It Is closed, tho Identity of 'the syn dicate will not bo available for som tlmo, but It Is expected that PorKr Urothors nro the ones principally in terested. While thoro has been no public ac knowledgment of the possible close rotations of Wllsey and the Porter Urothors, recent events tend to In dlcnto It. Wllsey Is given as ono c'l tho original promoters of tho Pnclllr Great Western and Coast lino rail ways from Eugene to Coos liny, which tapped the Immenso timber holdings of Porter llrothers along the Sluslaw. These two railway projects wero taken over by tho Southern, Pucllle on the condition that tho MncArtbur, Perks eompnny bo given the contract for tho con struction of the Willamette Pucllle. tlu Southern Pucllle lino from Eu genoo to Coos Day. Soon afterwards, caino tho an nouncement that the MacArthur, Perks company bud sublet tho con tract for tho construction of the lino, with tho except Ion of about nluolcon miles on tho Coos liny ontl, to Por ter Drothors. Then a fow weeks ngo Supt. Dixon of tho McArthur Porks company was quoted as stilting that Porter llrothers had taken tho balance of the contract on tho Coos Day end but this wns subsequently denied by Johnson Porter on IiIb vis it lo Coos Ray. During tho last few days, rumors again huvo beon rlfo that Porter llrothers have tho Coos Day end of the contract and will bring In a steam shovel from Wenntcheo, Wnsh., to sturt tho con struction work In Simpson Park In North Rend. This week, Porter Urothors through ono of thoir subsidiary cor porations, tho Tldownter Mill com pany nt Florence, llonted a $500,000 inortgngo, tho Instrument bolng filed nt Rosoburg. It wns nnnoiinced that this was for tho Tidewater Mill at Florence but It Is noticeable that tlio $500,000 raised Is tho exact amount nocessnry to handle tho purchase of tho Major Kinney properties on Coob Ray, tho monoy for which will soon hnvo to bo on doposlt with tho Port land Trust company. So far, the amount on deposit to guarantee tho option which Wlltioy took on tho Kinney properties, subject to approv al of tho abstracts, Is said to havo been $50,000. In this connection, It Is atnted, that Portor Urothors aio really fig uring on Coos Ray ns tho point whore they will manufacture their Imnlonso amount of timber along tho Sluslaw, tho logs to bo shipped in hero over tho S. P. lino from Eugeno. In this connection, the Relt Lino Railway project which Wilsoy ao cures with tho Kinney properties, will bo a big aBset in guaranteeing them a good mill alto and easy moans of hnndllng tho logs and luinbor.
