Q. Davis of the Coweman Tim ber company of Seattle, representing capital estimated at $2,000,000. ar rived In tho city last Evening over tho Northern Paeltic and left this morn ing for Uklah in company with tn Klneer E. Morgan of the La Grande division of the O. R. & N., for the purpose of looking over the pool of 35 timber claims owned by railroad employes, in the vicinity of Uklah, says the Pendleton E. O. Negotiations have been in progress for several weeks for the sale of the timber claims to the Coweman com pany, and It Is believed that the trip of Mr. Davis to the land will close the deal. The railroad employes of La Grande have 35 fine claims lying adjacent to T'klHh and a number of purchasers have been looking them over recently, but sufficient capital could not be in terested In the deal until the Coweman people were attracted to the land. The claims will be erlsed by Mr. Davis and. It Is believed, that he will purchase the entire tract and will also perhaps look over adjacent tracts with a view to purchasing other land Jn that vicinity. If this company purchases the claims It will not be for speculation, but for the purpose of sawing the tim ber Into lumber at the earliest possible date and It Is believed that If the pur chase Is not made steps toward the ex tension' of the Pilot Rock branch of the O. R. & N. will be taken at once. As soon as railroad facilities are to be had the company will erect an Im mense sawmill and cut the timber Into lumber. While the location of such a mill could not be stated at this time, It Is believed that Pendleton Is the logical location and that the logs would be hauled In by train to be cut into lumber here on the main line of the O. R. & N. t enn TUP MAPCF AQ IAFH I AS FOR THE POCKETBOOK Our steam rolled barley pleases the horse be cause it is just what ;.e likes, and pleases the owner because h's dollar buys more of it. , It will pay you to see us before you buy Hay, Grain or Feed of any kind or coal or wood.
