The Announcement of Big Deal
Causes Stir in Local Busi
ness Circles.
Following closely on the heels of
the announcement that Porter liroth
ers proposed to erect two large saw
mills in I. inn county and construct a
line of railroad from this city to the
timber belt, comes the news that ac
tual construction work will commence
at once.
The news of the $4,000,000.00 deal
has caused a sensation in local busi
ness circles and plans arc -now on
foo't to make a strong effort to se
cure the location of one or both (if
the biff mills in the Hub City. The
natter will be presented at the meet
ing of the executive board of the local
Commercial Club Monday night and
a committee of representative busi
ness men will doubtless be appointed
to present the claims of Albany to
i oner nroincrs.
This morning's Oregonian con
tained the following:
"Construction of a railroad between
Albany and the 102.(X)0-acrc timber
tract purchased by Porter Brothers
from the Oregon & Western Coloniz
ation company on Thursday will be
started immediately.
Porter Brothers did not buy this
property as an investment but for the
purpose of prosecuting a vigorous de
velopment. Nearly every section o'f
land in the tract is heavily timbered.
It is estimated that the stand of yel
low fir totals 4,IX)0,()(K),0()t) feet. To
reach this property and make the tim
ber yield a return they must build a
railroad.
"Negotiations for construction of
the line out of Albany already have
been opened. It is reported that the
Oregon Klectric and. Southern Pa
cific are figuring on building a joint
line out of Albany. The difficulty, it
seems, is in the probable distribution
of traffic at Albany.
"It is certain, however, that a rail
road will be built. Andrew R. Por
ter, one of the purchasers has so de
clared. As Porter Brothers arc ex
perienced railroad contractors they
nniv build the connection to Albany.
Albany is 26 miles northwest of
the edge of the timber. Other
points on the Southern Pacific arc
nearer, but a connection with both
the Southern Pacific and the Oregon
' Meclric is desired. The road will be
standard gauge and probably will be
completed before the end of the sum
mer. "The new line will follow the South
fork of the Santiam river, which hi-
