aovoml ila. ao tht lr. Smith had
told his I.nm county holdlutt for
50.000,000. Mr. Smith has wlrad
from Mlnnoapolls that thoro wns no
lonndatlon for tho report.
Tho article in the Oroggnlan re.
gnrdlng the improvement of the prop

Tho O. A. Smith Timber Company
has jus: completed tho 'notation of a
$1, .',00,000 bond Issue to be used for
the extension of tho Smith mill at
Marshileld, the reforestation of the
logged-off hiniU belonging to tho
company u Con.cuuuty nnd a gen
eral improvement In logging condi
tions nnd work, uccordlug to Frank
Alley, of Iloioburg, one of tho -attorneys
for thi timber concern.
"The bond Issue Is mnde up of
$600 bonds, bearing lateral nt Ave
per cent." ho said. Mr. Alloy iloultw
the sale of the compauW Orogou
holdings. "They nro serial bends, by
which is mount certain percentage
will bo retired everj year, the lust
bond being paid back 20 oarj from
date. The issue was sold at par.
which, in the ureeent state of the
bund market, speaks unusually well
for the security offered.
"The Issue was flontod by MeOrath
and Neuluuison of Portland, who In
duced throe pastern concerns to tnke
up the Issue, Representing the bond
company, Judge llnrthell and a Mr.
O'Connor of .Nashville, Tenn., eutno

the counties lu which the Smith
properties aro located for the purpose
of thoroughly luspee:lng the ab

The Government was luduceil to
release one of Its he.ul foresters, sahl
Mr. Alloy Inst night, for the purpose
of tnuiug charge of the reforestation.
This work would be proceeded with
Immediately.
Mr. Alloy assorted Judge Uartholl
and .Mr. O'Connor visited John Mi-
Court, United States District Attor

further action wa3 contemplated

Mr. Alloy dented the teport that

Operating their own linos of
