Extra guards are on duty along the

Head Of he New Line Being Built From Grants Pass Says
That the Expectations Of the People d he Community

Mayor E. T. McKinstry; President
Wilford Allen, OF the Commercial
club; H. L. Gilkey, OF the First Ma
tional bank, and Marshall Hooper. Of
the Grants Pass bank.
The luncheon, beside being made
the vehicle for an assurance fraught
with SO much OF possibility for the
community, was also an introduction
of Mr.. Miller. who confirmed the an
nouncement of his future connection
with the Twohy company and his In
terest in the work Of the new rail-
road. Since the resignation Of Mr..
Miller from his position with the

was there definite assurance that an
