requisition refused
BY GOVERNOR WEST.
Governor West ha3 refused to
grant the request of the authorities
of this county for a requisition for
the return of F. It. Hagenbeck here
from California to answer to the al
leged charge of having obtained
money under false pretenses. ,
It ia charged that Hagenbeck con
tracted to sell to G. Swayze, plumber,
a plumbing furnace, and collected
$17.50 on the sale, representing
himself to be the agent of a Port
land wholesale firm. The sheriff's
office investigated and found that
Hagenbeck did not represent the
house, and as the plumber's furnace
failed to arrive a complaint was
made and warrant was Issued for
Hagenbeck's arrest. He was located
In Sacramento, Cal arrested and
locked up, but was liberated when
the governor refused to Issue the
requisition. The governor gave as
his reason for refusing to grant the
request of the local authorities that
the amount Involved was too small
to cause the expense to the state
over. Recently West did Issue a
requisition for a man who was want
ed In this county on a charge of ob
taining $" through false representa
tions, the grand jury in that case
having returned an indictment.

Declaring that the report of S. B. To the Citizens of Grants Pass:
Vincent, corporation examiner, The Interstate Construction corn-
shows that the financial affairs of the ,pany Is a corporation organi.ed under
Aluieda Consolidated Mines com-.the laws of the state of Nevada for
pany, of Portland, with its mining! the purpose of constructing and
property in Josephine county, are j building a railroad from Grants Pass
hopelessly Involved, Corporation to Crescent City.
Denver, Colo., July 29. The par
cel post and how it has worked out
was the chief topic discussed today
when the annual convention of the
National Association of First Class
Postmasters convened here. Nearly
every city of the first class in the
country was represented. Owing to
the change In the national adminis
tration there were many new faces
I here today, there being very few who
i attended the convention at Atlantic
;Citv last year.
Commissioner Watson has asked At
torney-General Crawford to take
steps, to have a receiver appointed
for the corporation aud Its affairs
liquidated.
This corporation was organized in
1905 with a capitalization of $15,
000,000. The report of Mr. Vincent
shows that It has Issued outstanding
stock for $13,375,550 at a discount
of $11,806,456 minus large com
missions, and that there is now II,
624,450 In treasury stock In the
treasury and $203.11 In cash. The
company, he says, has been constant
ly running behind and It would re
quire $300,000 to put It on a solid
basis.
John. Y. Richardson also examined
the company's affairs, and according
to his report It has paid since its or
ganiatlon $29,000 to its officers,
$42,941.02 for commissions, $14,-
887.03 for traveling expenses, $15,
802.56 for general expenses, $17,
309.28 for Interest; It owes $41,190
on notes, $24,13S on accounts, $17,
534.51 for labor, $666.27 for taxes,
$1,000 accrued Interest, $18,720 on
contracts and $23,191.17 an person
al accounts. The president of the
company Is L. E. Crouch, of Port
land, and Its secretary and treasur
er Is George H. Groth, of the same
city.
"Some debts are owed by the Al
meda Consolidated Mines Company,
and there are abundant assets the
mining property and plant," explain
ed L. E. Crouch, president of the
company. "What the mine suffers
from is lack of capital, that Is all.
John F. Wlckham, of Portland, dis
covered the mine and O. M. Crouch
and Wlckham and L. B. M. Simons
sold their farms to buy It. These,
with R. C. Kinney, have devoted all
their time for the past 12 or 14 years
on the mine and have put into It
every dollar they had. There are
some 700 acres In the property,
which is on the Rogue River, and It
consists of a vast quantity of ore,
copper, gold and sliver. The low
est assay ran $3 a ton and there
have been assays showing $100 a
ton. There Is a smelter on the
ground with a capacity of 100 tons a
s-LIPS M(.KO WAITER
TIP OF imo PLUNKS.
The railroad will bo owned by the
California, Oregon & Eastern Rail
way company, a corporation organ
ized under the laws of Oregon. '
The construction company will fur
nish the moneys for building the road
and will take the bonds of the rail
road company.
The cost of building the road will
be more than was originally con
templated, because of the tunnel and
heavy construction and probable
land slides along the Smith river.
The building of the railway will
occupy between one to two years.
During this time the railroad bonds
will bear interest, the total of which
will amount to six hundred thousand
dollars, during a time when the road
will be operated at a loss.
During our negotiations with the
mayor, Mr. Reddy and about forty of
the leading citizens, we were repeat
edly nssured that If we would start
construction to show that we meant
business and good faith, that there
would be no question about the com
munity raising two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars as a bonus toward
the construction of tills road from
Grants Pass to Crescent City. Upon
this assurance we have gone ahead
and complied with all demands made
upon us and shown our good faith
and we expect the promises made to
us to be made good to the extent of
at least one hundred thousand dol
lars.
The Interstate Construction com
pany thinks that In view of the In
create In value accruing to the own
ers of the property in and about
GrantB PasB. due to the construction
of the railroad, that the construction
company should receive a small part
of that Increased value to meet the
interest charges during the period of
construction.
The property affected Is worth In
the neighborhood of ten million dol
lars, and It will be doubled In value
at least. If this Increased value
would amount to no more than ten
rnllllon, then but two per cent of that
amount would he two hundred thous
and dollars.

In hurrying its plans and In complet

to the bond buyers that such aid

As (Iran's Pass iu to be the eastern

business, population and prosperity

At the request of the several par
ties Interested In the success of our
railroad undertaking, a Joint meet
ing of the trustees of the Commercial
club and the public utilities commis
sion, was called Saturday afternoon
at one o'clock by the president of the
Commercial club, at which meeting
It was unanimously decided that Im
mediate stops be taken to raise a
bonus of $100,000, inasmuch as It
had been previously deemed neces
sary to pledge such amount.
The following resolution was ad
opted:
Resolved, that the Commercial
club immediately use Its organization
to assist In raising, within Grants
Pass, the Illinois Valley and Inter
vening territory a bonus of $100,000,
such bonus subscriptions to be made
payable only upon the completion of
the railroad from Grants Pass to
Crescent City, and all evidences of
such bonus subscriptions to be held
In escrow by some bank to be desig
nated by the Commercial club, until
such completion of the railroad.
It was the sense of the meeting
that the gentlemen representing the
construction company have acted In
good faith and have shown supreme
confidence tn the ultimate success of
the project and In the people of this
vicinity and that they are entitled to
every encouragement In this Instance
within the power of our people.
GRANTS PASS COMMERCIAL CLUH.
APPRECIATION SERVICE
TO CHRISTIAN TEAM.
On last Wednesday evening, la the
cheerful parlors of the Christian
church, the Bible school of that de
nomination, of which W. J. Stovall la
superintendent, gave au "Apprecia
tion service" to the members of the
famous Christian baseball team,
champions of 1911 and 4913.
About 200 ladles and gentlemen
were present, the only "outlanders"
present being Twilight League Pres
ident and Mrs. Hanley, and Umpire
Ernest Frye and Martin Illggs.
Dr. E. C. Macy, exuding wit, wis
dom and grace, presided as toast
master at the long banquet table,
which was heavily laden with those
wholesome edibles that would have
astronomically delighted seventy
generations of epicures from the old
Greek philosopher himself, down
through T. Lucretius Carus to Har
vey W. Wiley. Literally, there were
57 different kinds of things to eat,
and eveythlng In abundance. Per
haps debutante pullets roasted,
fried and baked might claim the
honor of being piece de resistance.
Responding to requests from
Toa8tmaster Macy, happy and con
gratulatory little talks were made by
President Hanley and Umpires Ulggs
and Frye, which were blushlngly
acknowledged on behalf of the Chrlt
tlan ball club, by Captain Earl Smltu,
Claude Trimble, Roscoe Dratton and
others.
After partaking of the culinary ef
ficiency of the Christian ladles the
batting prowess of the champions Is
clearly explained and the secret of
their great driving power readily
understood. On Wednesday night
Rratton's average was 1,000.
The delicious feast ' ended, the
banqueters adjourned to the church,
where several members of the Chris
tian choir, led by Miss Florence
Smith and Miss Ethel Wilkinson,
Herbert Smith and Lloyd Teel, en
tertained until 11 o'clock with the
rendition of sacred songs and old
ballads, various pleased groups hold
ing Informal little levees botween.
Rev. I. H. Teel, the pastor, sent
greetings from California.
The Dally Courier was extended
a vote of thanks for the Interest It

and the Just, Impartial manner In
which Its sporting writer had re
viewed them.
