The bonds are to bear flvo per cent Interest, and arc not to bo sold al less thau par. .To provtdo for tho Immcdlato fu ture tho council created n fund In which It will placo $10,000 cash to bo used to pay for labor at once, this 110,000 to bo returned as soon as tho proceeds from tho bond salo are available. Following the action of tho coun cil In providing tho way for Immcd lato work, Dr. Roddy and tho direc tors and engineering forco made plans to have construction commonco at once. To that end Engineer Har mon took tho field on New Year's day, and Is re-establishing some of tho grado stakes that had become obliterated along tho Draper survey. A camp No. 1 ot tho Pacific In terior company, will bo established on Allen creek to tho southwest of tho city, where work -will bo com menced. Tho first work will bo where tho old grade on tho Grants Pass-Wllllams Valley road, which was projected two years ago, ended. This grade is upon tho Drapcr-Gunn, now tho Pacific-Interior right-of-way, from tho point whero tho grade crosses tho highway to tho south of tho big steel bridge, so that all tho work dono from thcro will bo avail able for tho now company. Beyond that point to tho Applcgato river only light work will bo encountered, and tho first activity wltl bo toward the clearing of the right-of-way. Grad ing -will proceed rapidly, tho ground now being In the best possible con dition for handling. Engineer Har mon says that It Is ot likely that tics or steel will bo laid till at least six miles of the grading has been com pleted. FIVE-INCH PROJECTILES IT INJURE Hffl WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.

' " WASHINGTON, Jnn. 3 -Muiv than 2000 homesteads in northeastern Wnttliingtim niul northern Idaho will be forfeited, Recording to Congress man William La Follotte's cstinm tion, unless the recent ruling of Sec retary of the Interior Fisher, that settlers tunc no further option us between the new throe-year lnr and tho old five-year period for "proving up'' their claims, shall be remedied by an amendment to the law al this session. That is why general sup tmrt is being given an amendment to bo introduced by Senator llornh in the ono house and Congressman ha Follettc in the other, to relieve the settlers in wooded or lirnh districts of the cultivation clause in tho three year law. Fisher ruled that no settler eottM prove n homestead under the old five year jieriod unless ho had filed prior to Juno li, 11)12, when the three-year law, designed ns an alternative choice with the five-year plan, became opor ntive. Tho settlers now facing loss of their homes had not cleared the twenty acres required to be put un der cultivation under tho new phut, nor can they afford to complete nny such improvement within the time limit. Senator Ilornlt proposes that only one acre, in timber or brush country be required to bo under cultivation at tho end of tho first year, and only three acres at the cud of the third year. Jinny of the settlers "squatted" on the land before it was thrown op en for entry, and under the old law were eligible to prove their right, but now inuit clenr and enltiato an im posiihlc area of woodland. In Douglas county, Oregon, sixtv claims were taken about ten years ago, nud since the land was not sur veyed and thrown ojcn to legal en try until after Juno G of this year they may shortly be evicted.
