Th Paclfle A Eastern Railway- com
pany will take over and complete the
Medford Crater Lak railroad if th
Jackson county court confirms the sal
mad by Receiver 'J. F. Reddy to In
vestors represented by George Estes and
Dr. Stryker. ; Th company was incor
porated today by the filing of papers
with th Multnomah county clerk.
'A statement published to the effect
that tha Medford and Crater Lak road
would be financed by clients of th Ore
gon Savings A Trust company was In
error.. The bonds will b underwritten
by a middle west company," said , W.
Cooper Morris, cashier of th Oregon
Savings A Trust company. "Should the
sal go . through and b confirmed by
th court Mr. Eatea. who ia now con
nected with this bank, will probably
sever his connection here and go to
Medford end tax. charge of th road
permanently." .
It is said construction work on th
line to Butt Falls will begin within
it hours after th court signs th con
firmation of sale, , which is expected
to occur between this data and May
IS. It is backedby eastern railroad
and banking men. A bond issue of
$700,000. will be necessary for financing
th remaining : mileage now surveyed

defendants will plead thla afternoon.
Regarding the old cases pending against
Kettennacn, Kester and Robnett their

opposed by District Attorney Ruick. It

failed to arrive according to schedule
and as a reautt the prophet and his
ha -dful of followers are left penniless
and stranded. Stanton recently received
a "revelation" that the last horn would
be tooted and the world go to th ever
lasting bow-wows on May 11. Acting
on thla inspiration he sold all his prop.
arty, . wortn -several thousands of dol
la rs, for 1160 and rented a house on
Suburban hill ' Where, with eight, disci
plea, he has been preparing himself, for
the translation to heaven. For the last
ten days the devoted band has been al
most constantly in prayer. Stanton is
thoroughly in earnest In his belief, but
admits that be may have btcoro mixed
in his dates. -
As an svldeno of the fact that th
realty transfers 'filed for record fall
to dlsclos th true value of th prop
erty transferred, the deed of Robert
W. Wilson to M. J. Clohessy and asso
ciates conveying 80 acres In South
Portland gav the consideration aatl,
while th real valu of th property
sold Is not less than $50,000 and prob
ably much greater. -' . .;. v
In Saturday's list of transfers there
were 20 deeds In ,which the considera
tion was stated aa nominal. Th total
value .of transfers for that dat as
shown by th deeds was Ht.tM, but
the real value was nearer 1200,000.

chased from Angelina B. Richardson
