The consideration is said to have, been approximately $:j."i0,000. The purchasers nro said to ho among tho largest colonization concerns in the world, having operated oxtonsively throughout the United Stales. K. L. Meyers, state senator of Nebraska, and M. C. Miller of Minneapolis rep resented the company in the deal, having "spent Ihe last two weeks in this vicinity. The land involved in Ihe trnnsnc tion represents fil per cent of the stuck in the Sutherlin Timid & Water cnnipuny, thus giving the new buy ers the controlling interest. The re niainder of Ihe stock is divided be tween .1. W. Perkins and Edward An drews. Mr. Wnile slill retains his home tract, comprising about 3000 acres of vnlnnlile fruit' land. As yet the purchasers have not made public their intentions, but from indications it is safe to assert that Ihey will be the means of bring ing hundreds of newcomers to this section.
