"Our plans are fast maturing." said Mr. Miller for the company, "but these reports that are around are unauthorized." Judge Twohy and son, Robert, are still in the east, where they have the finan cial arrangements for the new rail road in hand. They have been east for the past month, but are expected home In the very near future. One of the rumors that is In the air, and which Mr. Miller says Is not founded, upon authorization by his company, Is to the effect that the Twohy have floated a bond Issue of $2,000,000 In the east, and that the work of the ex tending of the road to the coast -would commence by June 15.

CARD OF THANKS Murphy. Ore., May 16. I am sure I voice the sentiment of every granger In Josephine county, and of the Pomona grange especially, when I undertake to express my apprecia tion ot the hospitality shown the State Orange last week by the citi zen ot Grant Pas. We are too far from the center of grange population to have hoped tor the convention, on account of trans portation charge. But when the question came up at last year' ses sion your Commercial club wired our delegation that they would meet the extra coat by furnishing free enter tainment for the delegate while here. The offer wa accepted, and It has been possible for many of u to gain the education diffused by such a gathering that we could not have had if the meeting were held In an other place. The short program rendered at the commencement of each session by the local talent ot Grant Pass ran not be excelled by any city ot the state except Portland, and the readiness of those who possess such talent to offer It for the benefit of a visiting convention shows a civic pride and helpful feeling that Is very com mendable. 1 "In unity there Is strength." and in the courtesy shown tho visiting representative farmers of Oregon by the Commercial club and citizenry of Grants Pass there Is a spirit of co operation which will soon completely smother that Inimical feeling of the general public that the man who sells groceries Is robbing tho man who produce's butter and egBi and (hat the farmer always stovepipes his po tatoes and pours water In the milk. In Hs!stlnn the Stute. OrnnRe to convene In our midst Grants Pnss has done well, and every granger who has taken advanfaxc of the splendid thlnKs offered by this meeting feels very grateful to all those who helped In Its success.
