Il there is any one citizen OF The

his enterprise and faith In the future

Mr.. Max Vogt. In the great fire OF

lars of his property went up in
smoke. He sustained loss that would
have disheartened less enterprising
citizen and caused him to have
gathered his belongings together and
migrated to some more favored locality;
but Mr.. Vogt is not composed of the
kind of mettle that surrenders to ad-
versity, and is today again expending
thousands of dollars rebuilding his
property and adding to the wealth OF
the city. a-~.-
This morning reporter Of THE
TINES -MoUNTANEER was shown
through the mammoth establishment
of Mays & Grove, which is one Of the
substantial firms of this city, and in
fact one of the largest dealers in hard
ware, agricultural implements, ETC., to
be found in any of the inland cities on
the coast. The firm has lately erected
q large warehouse back of their store,
which is used for housing their i'm
mense stock Of wagons, buggies etc.,
and some idea of the magnitude OF
business done by the firm can be |
gained from the stock they are receiy-
ing. Ninety tons Of barbed wire, a car
load Of buggies and a car load of |
wagons are some Of the items which |
they have recently ordered.
