Byllesby Company; Big Merger in Pros pect $20,000,000 Involved Negotiations are under way for the purchase of the property and entire holdings of the California Oregon Power company by the H. M. Byllesby company of Chicago, according to authentic information received here today from both San Francisco and Chicago. The sale price, if pending negotiations are carried through to completion, will be in the neighborhood of $20,000,000. The acquisition of the holdings of the California Ore gon Power company is sought by the Byllesby company as a part of an enormous program by which it seek to tie up power holdings from northern Washington to Southern California. Its combined projected purchases will total in the neighborhood of $100,009,000. It became known from authentic San Francisco sources that the Byllesby company now has a field man on the ground making a careful check of the property and otherwise gathering sufficient data which will permit it to make a definite offer to the officials of the Califor nia Oregon Power company. Three of the Byllesby executives, President J. J. O'Brien, Vice-President R. G. Hunt and Halford Erick son, will arrive on the Pacific coast early next month to inspect the power company properties and make a definite offer. It also was reported that officers and directors of the California Oregon Power company have announced their willingness to sell, provided they are satisfied with the offer which will be made to them. The Byllesby company is said to regard the California Oregon Power company as the most stragetic utility in the west from a geographical standpoint, as it furnishes the connecting link between Oregon and California. In connection with its contemplated purchase of the California Oregon Power company, the Byllesby company is negotiating for the lease or purchase of some of the holdings of the Pacific Gas and Electric company to con nect up its various projects in California.
