DAVID ECCLES, PREST & GEN’L M’G’R. OREGON LUMBER COMPANY LUMBER MANUFACTURERS OGDEN, UTAH, March 8th, 1912 Mr. C. W. Nibley, Salt Lake City, Utah Dear brother Nibley;- I am just in receipt of yours of the 6th Inst. enclosing copy of Mr. Channel’s letter in regard to the Burley Yard. I am surprised at you thinking I want to gobble everything up. I should think you would appreciate that it is your interest I am working for, not my own, as you are one of the big toads in the puddle of the Oregon Lumber Company. It does not make so much difference to me, but I thought it would be very essential to look after your interest and seeing that I would be means of spending nearly a million dollars to help boom that part of the country, I thought the Oregon Lumber Company should be entitled to a share of the trade, but if the yards there will only give a small portion of their trade in return for the boom we hope to encounrage, I will feel satisfied, as far as the Oregon Lumber Company is concerned, if you will feel in doing so I am protecting your interest in the Oregon Lumber Company, as you know I am as much interested in you as I am in myself. Your respectfully, AF-DE
