LOGGING ROAD INCLUDED 15,000 Acres In Columbia County, Sawmill and AH Equipment Are Taken Over Operator to Retire From Business. One of the largest timber deals ever closed In Oregon was consummated yesterday afternoon when S. Benson transferred his holdings In Columbia County to the Benson Timber Com pany for a consideration of $2,100,000. The principal owner of the company Is Frank Lynch, who with O. J. Even son and E. E. Coovert, organized the new corporation to retain the name and good will of Mr. Benson. It Is capitalized at $3,000,000. Railroad Included in Sale. There are 15,000 acres of land In the tract, containing 800,000,000 feet of high-grade yellow fir. With the transfer of the holdings are Included a sawmill plant of 600,000 feet dally capacity and a logging railroad, fully equipped, 12 miles long. Mr. Lynch, head of the new company, purchased from Mr. Benson some time ago the sawmill plant and holdings at Santiago and has continued to operate the business there under the name of the Benson Lumber Company. With the acquisition of all of the Benson timber holdings, Mr. Lynch and asso ciates become the largest timber and lumber operators In the Columbia River basin. Mill Is at Clatskanine. The headquarters and mill are lo cated" at Clatskanine, with a large wharfage on Beaver Slough. It Is said that the Benson Timber Company Is the largest and most completely equipped concern in Oregon. The tim ber land lies even and Is easily ac cessible, while the shipping facilities for the finished product are excellent, Mr. Lynch said yesterday that there would be no change In the organiza tion of the company's forces and that operations would continue along the plans inaugurated by Mr. Benson. Benson Retires From Business. Mr. Benson sold the south half of his holdings, consisting of another tract of 15,000 acres, to the Fir Trea Lumber Company about a year ago for $2,000,000. This company owns other large tracts In the same locality, but has not started to manufacture lumber on a large scale. With- the sale to the Benson Timber Company yesterday, Mr. Benson has closed out the last of his timber hold ings In Oregon and will retire from the timber , business altogether. Ha announces that he will Invest the bulk of his capital In Portland real estate, being already a large owner of city property.

Plans for the construction of a 12- story hotel building on this site, which were under consideration last year, will be taken up and It Is. probable that the structure will be built this year. It is believed that transfer of the Benson holdings yesterday will be a factor In stimulating activity in the timber Industry In the Columbia River basin. Mr. Lynch believes that tna prospects are getting better for- trio trade every day and expects t( see normal conditions prevail by . the end of the present year.
