Californians Surv ey Huge Timber Tract in South America
(From the Healdsburs, Col., Tribune)
Jack l,ewis, well-knorn'n local real estate man, returned Tuesday from a two weeks' flying trip to South America where he investigated a timber deal for the sale of 10 billion feet of soft and hardwood.
Lewis, accompanied by John Taylor, Crescent City, left on July 26. The two flew by commercial airline as far as Cali, Colt.,mbia. There they chartered a plane, flew over the Andes to Tumaco. Then by tugboat and canoe they went into the interior, spending five nights in the jungle.
There they saw the largest privately owned tract of hardwood, owned by Mrs. Arturio Marquez of Colombia.
Mr. and Mrs. Marquez visited here approximately a month ago to discuss the transaction with Lewis and his associate, Roy Doolan.
Doolan and Lewis hold an option on the timber, the finest stand of virgin timber in South America. The purpose of the trip, according to Lewis was "to negotiate a deal on the option to sell the timber to Taylor." Taylor has been identified as a representative of several logging firms of Central California.

Lewis further revealed that a large plyboard factory will be erected at Tumaco, Colombia and that a new harbor is being built there now at the cost of nine million dollars.
Lewis was still in Colombia when its President Gomez passed a decree permitting unrestricted importation and exportation of foreign capital and profrts.
As a side issue, Lewis stated that he saw there a mahogany tree 200 feet to the first limb and 6 feet in diameter. Doolan and Lewis have been working on the business deal approximately a year-"one of the biggest timber deals consumated ?Dywhere."
