Oregon Land Sale Extends Across State Lines
Purchasers spend about 760000 to buy roughly 500000 acres of Oregon land from the California Oregon Land Co and others. The buyers include Hunter Land Co of Minneapolis and Richard Sykes of Santa Barbara, with partners from Jamestown and the Land and Steamship Co. The tract runs 825 miles from the Cascade forest reserve to the Idaho border, twelve miles wide, excluding a 25-mile stretch through the Klamath reservation. The sale is framed as the first step in a broader colonization project.
