The Willamette Valley Company has aold its franchises for the Eu gene street railway and the railway connecting Eugene with Springfield, together with all rights-of-way. ease ments and property connected with the lines to A. Welch, vice president of the company. The patters making the conveyance were filed for record in the county clerk's office this morn ing and were signed in Portland yes terday by A. Welch, as vice president of the Willamette Valley Company, and E. W. Hall, acting secretary. The price paid by Mr. Welch, as giv en in the papers, is $19,610.95. At the sam,< time there was filed a re lease of mortgage given by the Wil lamette Valley Company to the Her mantown Trust Company, of Phila- delphia, on the franchises for these railways. The transfer of the franchises to Mr. Welch probably means that the Willamette Valley Company w ill have no Interest In the railway, as It was organized for the purpose of conduct ing water and light plants exclusive ly. Mr. Welch, no doubt, has other Eastern backing, and will, it is like ly, build the lines himself. No Infor mation as to his plans could be ob tained at the local office of the Wil lamette Valley Company today, as the company's representatives knew nothing concerning the deal further than that the papers were sent them to be recorded.
