Ho wns not known to bo with tho Pacific Great Western until af ter It was launched by II. A. Sum ner's associates. While ho may go nhend with tho Const line, some hero express tho be lief that Wllsey will first build east ward to Grunts Pass and Medford or some point and connect up with the Hill lines, Intlmntlng thnt Wllsey may really hnvo formed n Hill alli ance on his recent trips.
