Progress To Sell To
Big Chicago Company
Field Agent Now Checking Up Data for H. M.
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.

In the first place, the membership of the Klamath

into an approval of its plans in this county. This resolu
