This deal involved approximately 1900 acres of land, the consideration being in the neighborhood of $35,000. A very small amount of equipment went with the place, but no stock at all. Short & Meade came here from Ta coma a short time ago and purchased this place from Earl Weatherford. They like the country and have no idea of leaving Eastern Oregon, but will relocate in this part of the state. They sold simply because Mr. Murtha wanted the place more than they did.
