Judge F. M. Calkins hns handed down a decision in the Golden Drift case on the matter of a receiver's certificate. The matter has been pending since Inst Mnrch at which time the receiv er of the Golden Drift Mining com pany made application to the court for the issuance of receiver's certifi cates for thd repair of the Golden Drift dnm near Grants Pass, whioii was severely damaged by the big flood in Rogue River Inst November. The matter came up for a rehearing about ten days ngo on the npplica Ii6n of "the plaintiffs to be allowed to repair the dnm ns it has been shown by affidavits of engineers that the power house would go out this winter if the property is neglected nnd would suffer nn irreparable in jury. The order recites that tho re ceiver will be allowed to issue $25,000 in certificates for this purpose in addition to tho bills already incurred under tho receivership nraquntine; to about $7000 provided the money s furnished in sufficient quantities to pay the bills and completely repair tho property. Last winter (ho structure was re paired agninst immedinte damage but sinco that time the river has cut a deep channel between the railroad and the old chnnuel which makes it necessary to divert it back. The new part will be built of con crete in a substantial mauner.with flood gates of sufficient) size to take the strain of a flood off the wooden pnrt of tho structure. Tho plaintiffs have beon willing since last spring to furnish tho money which Judgge Calkins' deci sion nllows them to do, nnd George E. Sanders, who represents the the .eastern stockholders in Oregon, will lenvo for Chicngo Wednesday for tho purpose of making the money immediately available. This decision menus much lo Grants Pass as it will provido irri gation for lower Roguo River valley. Tho Golden Drift Mining company water rights cover all tho water in Rogue Rivor at low stage and tho farmers aro dependent on tho wntor for irrigation. Tho Williams-Crawford Irrigation denl has not seemed to materialize as thoy would have to purchase tho Golden Drift wntor rights and also tho power plaut in ordor to furnish water noxt season. Tho legagl tanglo of tho past yoar appears to bo bringing results to tho community by clearing tho. ntmos- phoro nnd adjusting intorests along business lines. Tho railroad company has already put in a switch nt tho dam. Tho now work will require ton cnrloads of cement, twonty cars of fino grnvol and two cars of lumber. Tho coarse rook and snud nro on (ho promises nud will bo completed by Novcmbor 15, 1910. It will moan the employment of an avorago of ofrtv men.
