PORTLAND, Ore., Juno qS.(Spe-
clal.) Ralph D. 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

DATTOX, Tenn., June 25. (A. P.)
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.
