'S RANCHES SOLD Said to Be Largest Land and Stock Deal Ever Effected in Eastern Oregon. THE PURCHASERS HAVE ORGANIZED A COMPANY. Company Will Bear the Name of the "Slieep King of Oregon," Though He Disposes of All His Interest The Personnel of the Purchasing Parties Would Have Been Somewhat Different But for an Option Held The Head of the New Company Is a Prominent and Successful Stock' man and Politician His Associates " Are All Successful. . What is doubtless tha biggest ranch deal In the history of eastern Oregon Is now being consummated here and by it the Cunningham sheep ranches are sold for a sum close, to a quarter of a million. The deal Is now all agreed upon, and only the formal transfer remains to be made. The purchasers are J. N. Burgess. R. A. Kelsay, J. M. Keeney and Mrs. Dan J. Malarkey. This forenoon articles of incorporation were drawn In the office of McCourt St Phelps for the formation of the Cunningham Land A Livestock company, and the first three of the purchasers were named as In corporators. While the company will bear the name of Cunningham, It Is said that an absolute sale Is made, and that no Interest will be retained by the former owner. The deal for the purchase of the Cunningham property has been pend ing for over a month. Some time during October Mr. Burgess was here. and it is understood that an option was secured upon the property nt that tlmr, the sum of $5000 being paid down to insure the trade. However. complete arrangements for carrying out the deal were not made until a few days ago, when Messrs. Burgess and Keeney arrived here from Wasco county. While the total price paid has not been made known, Is Is said on good authority to be close to 1250,000. and that $5 per head was paid for all the sheep, 28 per acre for all the land, and $5 per ton for the 1000 or more tons of hny now upon the different ranches. Besides the above there Is mu oh other property, such as horses, mules, wagons, etc.. which go with the ranches. . As there Is a great amount of legal work to be done before the big trade can be finally completed, It Is said the formal transfer will not be made before December 1. The abstracts of title to the lands are now being gone over by McCourt A Phelps, who represent the purchasing company. nnd the papers cover thousands of pages of manuscript. The legal end of the work for Mr. Cunningham Is being attended to by Carter, Haley & Raley, For some time past It has been known that Mr. Cunningham was de sirous of disposing of his sheep ranches so that he might retire from active business. Also, It is known that there have been other seekers for the property than those named above. It Is said that within the past months strong efforts were made by Mayor W. F. Matlock and somo Mor row county associates to secure the E given Sheriff Tnvtnr nf iIia "iffair un traln. However, no information was til towards noon, when It was learn ed that Cramer had left on the de layed westbound train about 1 1 o'clock, saying that he was going to Echo. Accordingly, Constable Spike, of Echo, was notified by the sheriff, and about 2 o'clock this afternoon he phoned that he had placed the man under arrest. He will be brought to this city on the evening train. u AM BURGLARY GRARG jperty, but were prevented from do ing so by the option held by Mr. Bur gess and associates. Should the Mat lock trade have been made, It Is said the total price would have been paid In cash. Under tho nient deal It Is understood that a heavy mortgage is given by the purchasers, though the exact terms of the trade are not di vulged. J. N. Burgess, who It Is said will be at the head of the new company, has been a stockman of the Antelope country for mnny years, and has been very prominent In that sectloi of Wasco county. He Ib representative In the legislature from Wasco county, and fathered the bill for Stockman county, which was defeated three years ago. He has been a prominent worker for ex-Congressman Moody. Mr. Keeney Is also a resident of Wasco county, having his home at Shaniko, where he Is the owner of the Columbia Southern hotel. Mr. Kelsay Is one of a well known family in that section, and has been In the sheep business for many years, as have nearly all of his relallveH. For some time past he has been foreman for Charles Cunningham, and conse quently is familiar with affairs here. Mrs. Malarkey, who is also named as one of the purchasers, is the wife of Hon. Dan J. Malarky, of Portland, and Is the sister of Mr. Burgess. This afternoon Mr. Burgess stated that he would move here from Wasco county, but that his family would probably not come until spring. When the company takes possession of the property the management of the ranches will devolve upon Mr. Bur gess, while Mr. Kelsay will be the outside man, attending to the market ing of the sheep. It Is the intention of the new owners to improve their flocks, which are already recognized as the finest In the west, and only high grade bucks will be purchased by them. All three of the principal purchasers have been hero today, and they ex press themselves as highly pleased with their bargain. According to them, much of the range which Is now unbroken will make splendid farming, and consequently makes the ranches valuable. Also, the arrange ment of the land Is especially favor able, as there Is range for the sheep throughout the entire year, and it Is not necessary to leave their own land in going to and from the sttmmcr pastures E IS COAL MINKS ARE SNOWED UNDER WITH ORDERS. WnrchousON In Oregon All Agree Tliat Cars Should Be Kent First to Un protected Wheut In Washington Wood und Livestock Shipment Are Not Delayed by Shortage of Cars Coul ConiMuifcfl Are 1000 Cars Be hind Their Orders. Two hundred empty ears were de livered to the O. R. & N. at Hunting ton last evening und ubout 30 empties were distributed In this vicinity, thus relieving the alleged car shortage somewhat. According to E. C. Smith, agent of the O. It. & X., conditions as to the supply of ears in this city and along the ). II. & X. are about as usual at this time of the year. While the warehouses are in need of cars yet they all agree that the available cars for wheat shipments should be sent to the Washington division where hun dreds of tons of wheat are lying in the fields unprotected from the weather. This naturally makes a temporary shortage on the Oregon division of the lilies but this is not serious in any way. There are plenty of cars for the wood shipments and all livestock shipments me immediately furnished with ample cars. The coal famine which has hovered over Eastern Oregon for some time is not due to a shortage of cars so much as to the enormous orders which have snowed under all the coal companies furnishing this district. One Pendleton dealer has Just re ceived a letter from a Wyoming coal company which supplies Pendleton and Walla Walla, stating that it was 1 000 ears behind Its orders and an other company, which also sends con siderable coal to Oregon Is 700 cars behind Its orders. The cur shortage is lit no way responsible for the delay of shipments, but the capacity of the mines Is crowded to the limit and coal can only be sent west as It is mined. Cars are plentiful for all shipments that are mined, along the I'nlon Pa cific and Short Line. CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET. Quotations From the GrcntcHt Wheat Market In the United States. Chicago, Nov. 25.
