AS result of recent legislation,
the Agricultural college is able to
greatly widen the field of its extern

fined for the most part to agriculture
iarried on by the faculty and exper-
iment station staff at such times as
they were able to be absent from
Corvallis. They will continue to do
this work, aided by several newly ap-

their entire time to the work. It is
planned to hold some meetings in the
different districts of Josephine
county during the latter part OF

APPRECIATION SERVICE
To CHRISTIAN TEAM.

On last Wednesday evening, in the
cheerful parlors of the Christian
church, the Bible school of that de-
nomination, of which W. ]. Stovall Ia
superintendent, gave an "Appreeia-
tion service" to the members of the
famous Christian baseball team,
champions of 1911 and 1913.
About 200 ladies and gentlemen
were present, the only "outlanders"
present being Twilight League Pres
ident and Mrs. Hanley, and Umpires
Ernest Frye and Martin Riggs.
DR.. E. c. Macy. exuding wit, wis
dom and grace presided as toast
master at the long banquet table,
which was heavily laden with those
wholesome edibles that would have
gastronomieally delighted seventy
generations Of eplcures from the old
Greek philosopher himself, down
through T. Lucretius Carus to Har-
vey w. Wiley. Literally, there were
81 different kinds of things to eat,
and everything In abundance. Per-
haps debutante pullets-roasted,
fried and baked-might claim the
honor of being piece de resistance.
Responding to requests from
Toastmaster Macy happy and con-
gratulatory little talks were made by
President Hanley and Umpires Riggs
and Frye, which were blushlngly
acknowledged on behalf of the Chris
tian ball club, by Captain Earl Smith,
Claude Trimble, Roscoe Bratton and
others.
After partaking OF the culinary eff
ficiency of the Christian ladies the
batting prowess OF the champions Is
clearly explained and the secret OF
their great driving power readily
understood. On Wednesday night
Bratton's average was 1000.
The delicious feast ended. the
banqueters adjourned to the church,
where several members of the Chris
tian choir, led by Miss Florence
Smith and Miss Ethel Wilkinson,
Herbert Smith and Lloyd Teel, en-
tertalned until IL o'clock with the
rendition of sacred songs and old
ballads, various pleased groups hold
ing informal little levees between.
Rev. |. H. Teel, the pastor, sent
greetings from California.
The Daily Courier was extended
vote OF thanks for the interest II
had shown in the Twilight league;
the space It had given to the games
and the just, impartial manner In
which Its sporting writer had re-
viewed them.

REQUISITION REFUSED
BY GOVERNOR WEST.

Governor West has refused to
grant the request of the authorities
OF this county for a requisition for
the return of F. r. Hagenbeck here
from California to answer to the al
legged charge of having obtained
money under false pretenses.
1t is charged that Hagenbeck con-
tracted to sell to G. Swayze, plumber,
a plumbing furnace, and collected
$3.50 on the sale, representing
himself to be the agent of a Port
land wholesale firm. The sheriff's
office investigated and found that
Hagenbeck did not represent the
house, and as the plumbers furnace
failed to arrive complaint was
made and warrant was issued for
Hagenbeck's arrest. He was located
in Sacramento, Cal, arrested and
locked up, but was liberated when
the governor refused to issue the
requisition The governor gave as
his reason for refusing to grant the
request of the local authorities that
the amount involved was too small
to cause the expense to the state
over. Recently West did issue a
requisition for a man who was want
ed in this county on a charge of OBJ
tanning s. through false representa-
tions, the grand jury in that case
having returned an indictment.

STATEMENT TO PUBLIC
BY CONSTRUCTION CO.

! 4 " Inv NANiANho VI Nii0hNo 400
The Interstate Construction COM
pany is corporation organized under
the laws of the state of Nevada for
the purpose of constructing and
building a railroad from Grants Pass
to Crescent City
The railroad will be owned by the
California, Oregon & Eastern Rail-
way company, a corporation organ
lied under the laws of Oregon.
The construction company will fur
nish the moneys for building the road
and will take the bonds Of the rail-
road company.
The cost of building the road will
be more than was originally con-
templated, because Of the tunnel and
heavy construction and probable
land slides along the Smith river.
The building of the railway will
occupy between one to two years.
During this time the railroad bonds
will bear interest, the total OF which
will amount to six hundred thousand
dollars, during a time when the road
will be operated at a loss.
During our negotiations with the
mayor, Mr.. Reddy and about forty of
the leading citizens, we were repeat
edly assured that il we would start
construction to show that we meant
business and good faith, that there
would be no question about the COM
munity raising two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars as a bonus toward
the construction of this road from
Grants Pass to Crescent City. Upon
this assurance we have gone ahead
and complied with all demands made
upon us and shown our good faith,
and we expect the promises made to
us to be made good to the extent of
at least one hundred thousand dol
lars.
The Interstate Construction com
pany thinks that in view of the in
crease in value accruing to the own
ers OF the property In and about
Grants Pass, due to the construction
OF the railroad, that the construction
company should receive a small part
OF that increased value to meet the
interest charges during the period OF
construction.
The property affected is worth in
the neighborhood OF ten million dol
lars, and It will be doubled in value
at least II this increased value
would amount to no more than ten
million, then but two per cent OF that
amount would he two hundred thous-
and dollars
The subscription Of a hundred
thousand dollars will greatly assist
the Interstate Construction company
In hurrying It's plans and in complet-
ing the road; in making the financial
arrangements We have represented
to the bond buyers that such aid
would he obtained
AS Grants Pass is to be the eastern
terminal Of the road, its growth in
business, population and prosperity
will commence as soon as the con
.struction company starts work vlgor-
ousiy. The completing Of the road
means very large expenditure in
this county IN the next year, which
will give a great stimulus to business
in every line
Preliminary ARRANGEMENTS are be.
ing completed for the construction Ia
Crescent City in the shortest possible
time. and Grants Pass can have the
first unit Of the railroad In ninety
days TO four months at the most, pro.

Commercial Club VIII Assist.

At the request of the several par
ties interested in the success of our
railroad undertaking, Joint meet
ing of the trustees of the Commercial
club and the public utilities commits
sion, was called Saturday afternoon
at one O'Clock by the president of the
Commercial club, at which meeting
1t was unanimously decided that i'm
mediate steps be taken to raise a
bonus of 100000, inasmuch as it
had been previously deemed neces-
sary to pledge such amount.
The following resolution was ad-
opted
Resolved. that the Commercial
club Immediately use its organization
to assist in raising, within Grants
Pass, the Illinois Valley and inter
venlng territory bonus of 500, 900,
such bonus subscriptions to be made
payable only upon the completion of
the railroad from Grants Pass to
Crescent City, and all evidences of
such bonus subscriptions to be held
In escrow by some bank to be desig-
mated by the Commercial club, until
such completion of the railroad.
1t was the sense of the meeting
that the gentlemen representing the
construction company have acted in
good faith and have shown supreme
confidence in the ultimate success OF
the project and in the people OF this
vicinity and that they are entitled to
every encouragement In this instance
within the power OF our people.

MAY APPOINT RECEIVER
FOR ALNIEDA MINE.

Declaring that the report OF ,. b.
Vincent, corporation examiner,
shows that the financial affairs of the
Almeda Consolidated Mines COM
pany, of Portland, with its mining
property in Josephine county, are
hopelessly involved, Corporation
Commissioner Watson has asked At

This corporation was organized in

of $11,S06,456 minus large COM
missions, and that there is now ST.
624,450 in treasury stock in the
treasury and s203.11 in cash. The
company, he says, has been constant
ly running behind and 1t would re-
Quire 100000 to put it on a solid
basis.
John Y. Richardson also examined
the company's affairs, and according
to his report it has paid since its Or
ganiation $4,000 to its officers,
$42, for commissions, $14,-
SS7.03 for travelling expenses, $751;
S02.56 for general expenses, $17-
