BUY LARGE TRACT Eastern Capitalists Secure 30,000 Acres Near Albany. DEAL INVOLVES $250,000 Land Will Be Placed on Market In Small Parcels and Inducements Offered to Immigrants lYom Middle WcsU ALBANY. Or.. Nov. 14. (Special.) One of the biggest land deals ever made in this part of the state, and one which presages unprecedented development for Lincoln and Benton Counties, was consummated here today, when a party of Minneapolis capitalists purchased S0.000 acres of the old Corvallls A Ya qulna Bay wagon road grant The deal was closed by A. Snyder, representing the purchasers, and Fish & Hodges, of this city, representing the Eastern own ers of the old grant, and the considera tion is said to have been in the neigh borhood of 8J50.000. The land embraced In this transaction extends from Blodgett. Benton County, almost to Toledo, county seat of Lin coln County, on Yaqulna Bay, and along both sidea of the Corvallls & Eastern Railroad. The new purchasers will di vide the land Into 10, 20 and 40-acre tracts, and will bring Eastern people West by the carload to view the tract. The company haa already arranged to bring 300 families from St. Louis early In the Spring for the purpose of locat ing. The land will be used principally for dairing and for fruit and nut cul ture. The men who have purchased this tract have formed the Yiqulna Valley Fruit 4 Land Company to exploit the tract. The company includes as fls leading members J. B. Streeter and George E. Adams, of the J. B. Streeter Company, of Minneapolis; George W. Taylor, general agent of the Central Cnlon Life Insurance Company, at Minneapolis, and A. Snyder, who closed the deal here today. The company will establish Its Eastern office In Minne apolis, and will have Western offices in Portland and Albany. The Western of fices will be In charge of A. Snyder and Fish A Hodges, of this city. The old Corvallls V Yaqulna Bay wagon road grant originally included all of the odd sections for six miles on each side of the old wagon road, which follows the general course of the Cor vallls & Eastern Railroad, from Wren to Toledo. Very little of this tract waa sold until two years ago. This deal, which should mean the Immigration of thousands of people to Oregon and the settling up of virgin land, means development for the coun try lying along the western end of the Corvallls A Eastern Railroad. The land is valuable for fruitraislng and for dairying purposes, hut Is practically Our Hat Dept. Knox Silk Hats. Knox Opera Hatsv Knox Derbys and Soft Felts. Warburton Derbys. Stetson Soft Hats. .
