City milrond nro proRreRsin;; most
Bntisfnctorily, the visit of C 1?. Mnss
liclc, of tho firm of Now York nttor
iieyn, who was pent hero to investU
riUq tho locol Iiotul Irruo, liAving
cleared the ntmopplicro in that thrcc
tion, ntul disclosed tho wny to the ns
siiriiiR of bond buyers concerning tho
legality of the issue. Tho ensa to tho
supremo court to get a ruling on tho
question of constitutionality will not
require a grcnt nraount of time, ntul
will not in nny way delay tho pro
ceedings otherwise.
Tho California party in ehnrgc of
Mr. Franklin Helm which was to have
met Mr. Mnssltck hore Inst Sunday,
was delayed owing to the uncxcpccled
arrival of the foreign people who arc
to furnish (ho finances for tho bond
ing of tho road. A night letter re
ceived by. Mr. Masslick from Mr.
Helm Wednesday morning, dated t
Sacramento Tuesday night, stated
that delay in arriving at Grants Pass
was due to the arrival of tho foreign
people earlier than had been expected
mid that as they desired to cotn
plcto details as 6oon as possible, it
wan likely to bo Sunday or Monday
before they would arrive. At the
same timo Mr. Helm wired Mayor
Smith, the dispatch reading as foleows:
"Telegraphed Masslick and asked
lura Bhow yon telegram which in
mcasuro explains my delay reaching
von. Am sending you full list of
directors construction coempany.
Phclan's details am being completed ;
also foreigner's contract for whole
isstto of bonds which guarantees suc
cess. My party of sixteen, includ
ing board directors constmction, will
start for Grants Pass as soon ns can
finish with foreigners. I regret ex
ceedingly could not bo with you last
Saturday as our tickets called for.
Will start in few days with every
thing excellent shape."
Tho tenor of tho nbovo dispatch
from Mr. Helm indicates that he has
tho details much better in hand than
hnd been anticipated even by tin
most optimistic, nnd that with the
arrival of his party of sixteen peoplo
tho rond from Grants Pass to tho sea
will tako definite form, and that the
commencement of actual building
will be a matter of a short time ouly.
