MAY RAIL, ROAD MAY BE BUILT. Col. Draper Moots With Citizens and Offers Proposition which Is Accepted. On last Wednesday night a mass meet ing of tbe (iranls Pass Board of Trade, City Council and citizens was called at tbe City Hall to meet with Col. T. Wain Morgan Praiwr, Manager of the Waldo Smelting A Mining Co , to futther con- aider the matter of the proposed Oregon A Pacific Railroad. As the Mayor and President of the Council were both ab sent, the meeting was made that of the Board of Trade alooe and waa called to order by President R. .. Coe. Col. Draper was present, and upon be ing introduced, briefly stated bit object in meeting tbe citizens of Grants Past and Josephine county. In doting hit remarks he made a proposition to the Board which waa voted upon and unan moualy accepted. Tbe proposition was to the effect that if ript lit of way and ter minal grounds be furnished the Oregon A Pacific Company through and in the city of Grant Past, they would begin tbe survey of the road from this city to to Waldo immediately. The meeting was an enthusiastic one in every respect and all teem pleated with the fair business-like proposal of Col. Draper. It was moved and carried that a committee be appointed to work in conjunction with Col. Draper in the matter of securing right of way and ter mlnals in the City, and it was also moved and carried that a similar committee be appointed to aid in the work ol tecurin right of way between Grants Pass and Waldo. Ou Thursday morning a epecial meet ing of the Board of Trade w as called at the parlors of the Southern Oregon Na tional Rank and a liberal discussion made of the new railroad mailer. All realize that in order to eecure right of ay for a railroad that money is neces sary, and precaution in all such matters istlsoas much ol a necessity. At Ibi meeting a committee was appointed to It-vise ways and means, and do the pte- liminary work t'-at must be done before the survey is begun. The committee appointed consisted of II. C. Kinney, C E. Harmon and P. II. Ilartli. The folionting it the full text of Hie address made by Col. Draper before the mast meeting lust Wednesday night I greatly appreciate tho joint rcsolu tions passed by the official authorities and by your honorable Board of Trade. I appreciate it all tho more because it was a compliment paid to my associates and myself. I flutter niVBelf that such a resolution could not have been passed unless you had had con (Men e In tho integrity and fair dealing of my assocl ates and myself in the past two years, in which we have been operating in the southern part of Josephine county. It ie but another illiistmlion of the fact that honesty pays in the lung run, even in (lays ol sharp trading and the chase for the Almighty Dollar, In which many men are sometimes required to turn pretty sharp corners in their business relations. Since the joint meeting of your two bodies, on April 7lh., when the afore mentioned resolution was passed, I have consulted with associates of mine and have laid beforo them the dcBiro of Grants Pass to have our contemplated railroad surveyed from Grants Pass to the sea. You can and will readily un I derstand, as business men, that this is merely a question of business and bust ness only. Whilst I personally have the kindliest feelings for every one in your city with whom I have had deal ings or whom I have known socially, you must realize that I am s steward of other ioplo a money and must try to be an honest steward and do what is best for their interests: therefore, you will more fully understand that my first desire was to obtain an outlet for the wants we had to sell at Waldo to a point that would be the boat fur our interest. We have gone over the wag- gon road prniKjsition. My position on this subject has been misunderstood, but 1 waul lo say here that at all times our company lias been ready to aid the county or the city of Grants Pass or Crescent City to put the wagon road in a passable condition. This, it aeemt, bat been impossible to attain. Tbe subject has been agitated and again agitated, but nothing has come of it, whether through our fault or through the fault of others it it neodless at .this time to state and gentleman, we are through with the wagun road proposition. Ws propose now to have an outlet that shall not lepend on any form of government to keep it in working order. In loukiug over the situation, found that a railroad could be Luill from tbe vicinity ol Waldo, to Creeceot Ciiy by one or more perfectly feasible router. We also found that the railroad Situa tion at that point was about at follows: The Calilornia A Northwestern R. R. from ban rrancixo has built north to Willelts; the Kureka A Ksl River R. R. baa built touih from Kureka, in Hum boldt county, toaard a connection with the California A Northwestern ; and that, year by year, tut gap between these two was lessening totucb an extent that within two years tiuit there will be all rail connection between Eureka, Humboldt county and Han Francisco. The tsme opl who control the Eureka Eel River R. K. a!ao control a new corporation known as tbe California A Northern, which is not to be confounded ilh the California A Northwestern, they being distinct and separate cor poration!, lb it road bat s lins sur veyed from Kureka to Crescent City, and finished building Isst fall and bas in operation its line at lar north as Area ta, la addition to Ibis a parallel line, known at the Klamath River R. R. has tome thirty niilee of road built north of turtka and it hat turveys also to Crescent City. There is talk which probably will end in theee two lines con solidating and building not only north to Crescent City but at far at Astoria, at the mouth of the Columbia River. Personally I have an official connection with the California A Northern and the Eureka & Eel River R. R., and am well posted aa to their intentions. There fore, we know that by building a short line from the vicinity of Waldo to Cres cent City, a distance of, not to exceed 55 mileS; we should have railroad con nection with San Francisco, certainly within two years, and over a standard guage track. We will alio have the broad Pacific Ocean which no one con tola. It ia a very simple matter to pur chase a couple of steamers to ply be tween Crescent City and San Francisco or other ports, even it there was no railroad from San Francisco north to Crescent City. In addition to this, the country be tween Waldo and Crescent City, aa ia probably well known to you all, is one of the best mineralized sections in the west. Its deposits ol gold and chrone iron have been famous for forty years, but, above all, there are vast tracts ol redwood and other timber, and gentle men friends of oura, have become largely interested recently in the purchase of some of these tracts. Naturally, we full that our way lay toward the sea and not to the north, where oor only outlet would be via the Southern Pacific R. R. and when you realize, as you must do every time you get a freight shipment or every time you go to Portland or San Francisco, that the charges of that road are somewhat excessive, you will understand our situation in that respect. This is a subject I do not care to dwell upon, because it is too well known to you all. Now comes your joint resolution and I have laid Itjjefore my associates and, with their approval, I bug to make you the following proposition: If you will furnish to our Company a sufficient right of way, to be determined by your City Engineer and myself, and also ade quate terminals to bring us to a con nection with tho Southern Pacific R. R. within j our city limits, free of cost to us, wo will immediately begin the surveys of the road from Grants Pass to Crescent City, via the neighborhood of Waldo. I do not ask yon to turn over to o-ir Company tho deeds to tho proerty .until we are ready to actually liegin work ; but I do ask you that you shall place the deeds to that proerty, after it has been surveyed, in the Firat National Bank or the Grants Pass Bank ing A Trust Co., ill escrow, to be deliv ered to us when we shall be ready to begin tho actual construction of the road. Any point ol controversy can be decided by any gentleman that you choose to apiioint for your city ami my self for the Oregon A Pacific Railrcad Construction Co. It is naturally un necessary for me to represent tho ad vantages that would accrue to Grunts Pass by having a competitive line to the sea. You are too intelligent and too keenly alive to the welfare of your city and your business interests to need coaching on this subject. If we start Ibis work, it ia my belie.! that we will carry it through. It remains with you gentlemen now to take the initiative. I am ready to give the order for the surveys at once. I thank you for your attention." Try Orain-01 Try Grain 0!

A II II I H HTACKI'Ol.K. YVaahington Letter. Wasiiinuton, April 20th, 1902. A most remarkable spectacle was af forded to the visitors at the capitol laat rrtday. The senate chamber waa al most vacant, the lobbies and even the committee rooms were vacated, but in the houce of representatives a different scene presented itseit. Mot only was every member in his place, but on the rostrum end around the walla ol the chamber sat or atood many aenatora and every 1e.1t in the commodious galleries waa occupied. The occasion was ths final struggle in the contest which has been taking place between tbe adminis tration republicans, and that large tac tion of the party which baa allied itsell lo the standard of beet augar and ex treme protection. And yet to the un initiated every faction appeared to be voting against Its (own interests and suggested a general political hari-kiri. The beet sugar men were voting to re move Hie differential tariff from refined tugar, un end which must prove serious ly injut ions to the beet sugar Interests, the etiiuiich supporters of the ptotection policy, Speaker Henderson and Ms fol lowing, were voting to lower the tariff and the democrata were voting fur sn amendment which they knew to be innimical to reduced duties between the United Stales and Cuba, a policy which they bid previously described as 20 per cent conversion to their views. To the initialed the position on ths floor of I lie house while anomalous wat reasonably clear. The btet sugar supporters had determined In amend the Cuban reciprocity bill to the extent of taking the differential duty off of refined sugar believing that by so doing they would defeat the whole measure, It haying been generally con ceded that ths senate would never pass the bill ao amende,). Tho republican leadera were voting for that policy ol reciprocity which they consider that they have inherited from Blaine and McKinlsy and they were further paying deference lo tbe president whose strong sense of justice has prompted him to risk censure and uven btave the danger of party discord in an effort to fulfil tbe pledges which hn believes his respected predecessor iiiado to Cuba. The demociats were striking a blow st the profits of Ike sugar trust snd so regarded their action consistent, even if it defeated a partial reduction ol the tariff. To Mr. iMlzell, ol Pennsylvania, loll the honor ol closing a debate which bas been characterized by some ol the bust speeches a hiikj the house hat heard In many years. He presented a clear and forceful argument In support of hit views. He hail been preceeded by Mr. Iticliurdion, ol Tennessee, who h ad been equally logical in his eiposili'on of the iluation. Following Mr. Dalzell's speech Judge Morris, of Minnesota, pre sented the amendment removing tbe differential on refined sugar and im mediately the point of order was raised. Alter tome hours debate on this ques tion the chair ruled out the a.iiendiiien t nd immediately Mr. Tawney, the beet sugar leader, ap eiled from the chair's d--cnii.li. The appeal carried amid lulmultuoiis cbejrs from the democrats and beet sugar ui n and, alter the usual routine butinsss, the speaker declared the bill lor Cuban reciprocity, so amended aa to remove the extra duty on refined sugar, carried by a vole of 247 to 62. The late of the bill now reata with the senate hut it Is generally believed that it will not pas; except to amended at to preclude the possibility of the houss'a agreeing to tbe amendment. Ths battle for Cuban reciprocity, in a word, ia considered lost. After rejecting the Chinese exclusion bill which had bean under consideration, the senate on last Wednesday re-enacted the Geary law ai.d there ia little doubt but that the house will concur so that the law may be placed on the statutes before May 5th.. the date when ths present law expires by limitation.

Notwithstanding the statement given out at ths war department laat week, that General Miles would bs retired at an early dale, it is believed that Mr. Roosevelt hat, out ol deference to the wishes of piomliient republicans, recon sidered the matter and that no such action will be taken for the proseul. There Is a rumor abroad that the pres ident will soon ask the resignation of Secretary Root. It it known that many ol the members of bit parly are bring ing preture lo bear to that and but it seems doubtful If Mr. Roosevelt will consent to d.epenae with the man who 11 hit most intimate friend and advisor in the cabintl. There ia no doubt that recent disclo.iurea In the senate com mittee 011 Philippines hive cast discredit on tbe secretary of war, hut only because he la at the besd of the war department, and thoso who know Mr. Root beat are confident thai be has had no knowledge of tbt uuullies ohich.
