Schneetocli of Port land, believed to reprAHent the FJeisch nker InttiroHts of San Francisco, Iiuh nn option on the Grants Pa ha railroad and his plans call for the completion of the road between f I rants Funs and Crescent city, Cal., where the govern ment has been spending large sums In developing the harbor. Kngineers have been checking former estimates nnd statistics are being tabulated as to tonange in sight. The line will tap a rich mining region and timber. The road is constructed from Grants Pans 15 miles, while 10 miles are built on the C'rewcent City end. There is n Rap of 70 milPH to connect these two ends and it is roughly estimated tlmt the construction will cost betwoen $;t.rnu,ouo and $4.ooo,ooo. This railroad was started by Grants Vn.su people to escape from the Southern Pacific. The original plan was to connect the Josephine county town with the harbor on the northern coast of .California and give southern Oregon a seaiort and the advantages of water competition. The people bonded themselves for JL'OU.000 and contracted with Dr. J. F. Koddy to start the road and ho built 10 miles. Tlifs was in 1914 nnd the officials were J. F. Knddy, president; I'hil Metsclum, vice-president, and U. A. Inciter, secretary-treasurer. , Twohy I trot hem took the line over nnd built an additional flvo miles. Then the war interfered. The project lagged until a few months ago when Mr. Schneeloch actpiired an option, for It was believed that he would be nble to finance the undertaking. Mr. Schneeloch went over the proposed line with C. C. Van Arsdal of Lewis ton, Idaho, who was one of the builders ot1 the Giand Trunk Pacific for the Canadian government. The new Redwood highway, ' from Crescent City to Grants Pass, has taken some of the right-of-way which the railroad had Intended using, so that there has been some surveying us well as rechecking of former fig ures and estimates. An application for a certificate of necessity is to be filed with the intor stnte commerce commission by Mr. Schneeloch, which is the first step toward resuming construction. This will probably require a hearing and in anticipation of this, data are being assembled to show the need of the road and what business there would be for it. If built, the road would also con nect with Brookings. Ore., In Curry county, and the fertile Smith river in California, north of Crescent City. From Prookings there are now two feeders Into timber, one into a red wood stand. Grants Pass interests have been trying to have the railroad completed for several years and vniious prom inent business men have come to Portland from time to time for .con ference. The recent wnrfare between the Great Northern and Northern Pa cific on one hand and the Southern Pacific on the other developed since Mr. Schneeloch obtained his option nnd began laying his plans, but In a desperate fight between the nig Hues the Grants Puss-Crescent City road may benefit AT FALLS CITY 8ALKM.

Although details yet remain to be worked out, it became known early to day that the dee use attorneys for John T. Scopes, charged with violating the Tennessee law prohibiting the teaching of evolution In state public schools inivu conijjieieu a worKimj cause. The remainder of the day. It is said, will be given over to the working out of details, determining just what ex- ' perls along scientific nnd religious i lines will be called and looking toward the naming of individual expert wit !n esses. I One difficulty Is confronted In this I respect, attorneys for the defense in dicated. Scientists, they said, hnd particular dislike for attorneys and appearing In court rooms and answering questions, and entering legal quibbles. The defense will take up the ques tion of the constitutionality of the law. Experts will be brought to testify to the effect that virtually all science touches upon the question of evolu tion. This, they will argue, virtually will prevent the teaching of all scien tific subjects In the high schools and colleges of Tennessee. A third point to be brought out by the defense will be based upon the different constructions that may be given the biblical account of creation. In connection with their plan of this phase, the defense indicated that many biblical authorities and divinity students will testify. Through the construction . or the Tennessee law, it is pointed out no particular version of the llible Is designated. It might apply equally, attorneys say, to either the tireek bible, the King James version, or any other of several translations. i m j A man out of air out of water. mm Cover with wt balelnff soda- otter war 03 apply gently VapoRub Otter J 7 Million Jar Umd Ymarly ENROLL 100 PER CENT PORTLAND.
