On distribution of HURRIMH LIKES BUYERS ACQUTKE ACREAGE NORTH OF GOVERNMENT BUILDING. Part or Tract Lies in Guild's Lake. Property Acquired to Frus trate Hill. Forced to protect themselves in the way of terminals from the encroach ments of invading roads, the Harrlman lines yesterday closed a deal whereby 253 acres lying along- tho river north of the Government building on the Fair tract becomes the property of the North Pacific Terminal Company. The price paid was about $250,000. A large part of the tract lies in Guild's Lake The purchase was made, say the railroad people, for the purpose of en larging the switching facilities of the terminal company, but it is believed the Union Pacific Interests have acquired the ground for their own use rather than to turn it over to the allied cor poration, 40 per cent of which is the property of the Harrlman interests. The safeguarding of the O. It. & N. terminals and the possible further em barrassment of Mr. Hill arc the appar ent objects for the purchase. Tho property was bought from P. L. Willis and the Oneonta Land Company, that corporation being formed by Mr. Willis and a few associates. The pur chase does not include any land in side the old Exposition site, neither the Flelschner nor Amanda Reed tracts being included. Switching facilities, it Is said, will be provided on the land, and fills made in Guild's Lake from time to time as occasion arises for more room.
