Thq Grants Paw clt council, an
ticipating an early dispose! ot tho
lacl(lclntcrlor railroad bonds have
paved, tho way for Immcdlato con
struction Work, by nutting the $200,
000 special bond Isstto on the market,
and providing for a cash fund from
other sources with which to pay bills
for labor whllo tho bonds nro being
floated,
The resolution passed by the coun
cil authorized the city auditor to ad
vertise, tho bonds for 15 days, and to
nsk bids covering an Issue to run
for 30 years with tho privilege) or re
tiring tli cm at tho end of SO, and also
for tho same Issue to run 20 yean
with tho privilege of retirement at
tho end of flvo years. 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

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.
