HOW BOOTH (SOT IT
THA'i! tliti fortune mnassod by R. A. .Root It is largely
due to the Southern Vacifie and o tainted land, are
interesting facts gained by reading Mr. Booth's explana
tion of where he got it, delivered by him at Albany last
Friday and published in tho Portland papers.
After the organization of the Booth-lvellv eonipanv in
1S9G Mr. Booth says:
Encouraged by these early efforts wo conferred with tho vnllrond
company as to rates, with n view of extending our mrirkoU, nnd liuliirlni?
them to publish rates that H?rmlttel ur to feed our products to tho mlno
ot Afltoua, tho arious sections of California, to Utah nnd other Pacific
const states nnd eastward under n 10 cent rato to Missouri river points.
This was before the days of railroad regulation, when
rebating was common practice ami special favors, such as
those granted Mv. Booth, were customary. Probably Mw
Booth's political prominence did not militate against him
with the Southern Pacific. '" ;
These special fa Vol's' over competitors enabled a rapid
expansion of the business and capitalization of Mr.
Booth's company. From a simple partnership it grew to
a million uoiiaf corporation in throe years. Then came a
closer alliance with the railroad company, thus described
by Mr. Boeth:
Il'was that year (1S90) wo mado our first contract of -consequence,
for tho purchase ot timber lands. Tho contract mado with the O. &. C; It.
It. company covered some 17.000 acres of land In a district since know i
as the Wendllng basin. Theso lands wero purchased entirely on crodl',
wo paying tho Interest annually In advance, but having tho right to enter
upon any section, removo tho timber therofrom nnd paying for tho vatuj
in advance at a figure beyond the average buying prlco. Wo then built
our lirst largo sawmill, after entering Into a contract with the Southern
Pacific company to extend Its rails to tho town ot Wendllng.
-Lima iiiu uuuuiaii a. tiviiiv; iivv uun vnuivu mv, niiir:i
for Mr. Booth's company by special rates, but violated the
terms whereby the grant was secured, in order to Help
finance Mr. Booth s project by selling him timber land on
credit. He centinues: '
The grant was still held almost entirely by the railroad company. It
followed therefore of necessity that practically half of all lands that tho
nooth-Kclly company purchased wero purchased from tho railroad com
pany. Lands near the railroad wcro the niott valuable and tho timber or.
their tho only Umber that was available for milling. This held good with
the even sections as, well as tho odd sections that belonged to tho railroad
grant and wero naturally tho first to bo taken up under tho laud laws of
the United Slates.
This trrant land the federal court has held was pro
cured by fraud and therefore has been ordered forfeited
to the government. The "innocent purchasers" bill, how
ever, has enabled the Booth-Kelly company to secure valid
title, though Mr. Booth knew at'the time of purchase that
the railroad was violating its agreement in making his
contract.

Another great tract of
Oregon land,
originally ob-
A; An
r Sylvca-
taincd by rank, fraud, was also secured and peddled by
Slv. Booth, who tells llo story as lollews:
The Oregon Land & Livestock company was organized In 1302 for tho
purposo ot purchasing tho lands then remaining unsold, that had been
granted by the government In 1S64 to aid In tho construction of tho Ore
gon Central military wagon road, which extended irom r-ugeno to xne casi
hntmriarv nt !i ntnln It was named liV A strong company, hcadod by K. It.
Dn.,1 Y.mnvnr nt Kan T.Vnnrlsrn nmt trim win nt the time of ttlO IltirchaSO
thn head ot one of the strong savings banks of that city. So far as the gov
ernment was concerned tho title had long slnco passed.
"I recommended to ten men the purchase of tho lands.. Tho pur
chase was made almost wholly on credit. Wo paid for it largely from tho
proceed of the salo of tho land In various sized tracts.
"The purchaso Involved about 800,000 acres. The Iloolh-Kolly Lufn.
her company took over tho western portion of It. Most of these lands the
comnany disposed or. keeping thoso Immediately tributary to tho bprlng
fleld plant. Tho company now owns abbut 120,000 acres, mostly timbered,
a part of which It has purchased from Individual owners."
The Oregon Central military road grant was one of the
worst scandals of Oregon history. Mr. Pond, who engin
eered the graft, who had a clean record in his home state,
was defeated for governor on account of it, the exposures
being made in a Lakeview paper by Seneca C. Beach, now
one of Mr. Booth's supporters-.
Thus tainted lurid lis well as railroad fa vow helped Mr.
Booth to acquire the fortune that constitutes his (pialifica
tion for public office. '
