Calkins Issues Orders Giving Neces

gation Matters at Grants Pass
Will Be Cleared Up Much Mate
rial to Be Put In New Structure.
Judge F. M. Calkins has issued an
order in t lie circuit court of Joseph
ine county authorizing the receiver of
the Golden Drift Mining company
issue receiver's certificates in an
amount not to exceed $40,000 for
the repair of the Anient dam and
power plant and preservation of the
water rights of tho company located
nenr Grants Pass.
The order was made on tho peti-1
tion of the plaintiffs, verified by the
Taft's Message to Congress to
Tell of Panama Canal's Progress.

18, 1010, and was opposed by the'
defendants. This question of the is-1
suunco of certificates fiist came be
fore the court through a petition
made by thu receiver and the pliuu
tilfs March 1, 1010, and tho issu
ance of such an order iv:n as vigor
ously opposed then as now.
Tho testimony in thu suit which
caused tho appointment of receiver
has been taken. At tho time of tak
ing the testimony thu plaintiffs re
newed the application, August 17,
1010, and the court, being sufticienl
ly informed, gave out a statement or
opinion to (ho attorneys in tho cane
that he would issue certilientct. for
the repairs that had been approved
by the engineers ami shown by the
affidavits already filed in the case,
and that he would allow such nii
to be made by any interested partv
that would provide tho money and
pay off thu outstanding, claims
against the receivership.
It was after this opinion of tin
court was given out that George K.
Sunders, representing thu caste n
stockholders, went to Chicago and
induced the stockholders to pledge
themselves to take and pay for tho
certificates when issued so that the
repairs could bu made. About two
weeks ago Mr. Sanders returned
from Chicago, and in nn interviow
announced that the trip was a suc
cessful one and that tho investing
stockholders stood ready and will
ing to provide tho money so that the
repairs could be made, and thu re
ceiver and the attorney for the
stockholders, A. E. Pennies, aga.n
petitioned tho court, and tho ordor
2.014' that was recently entered was the
result.
Since his return from Chicago Mr.
Sanders has bought up the old is
sue of receiver's, certificates,
amounting to approximately $4800,
uhioh were given out by tho receiver
to' pay merchants and laborers for
thu repairs made last winter and
spring.
The ordor just onteied rcoitos that
