Grants Pass has never had a build.
ing boom such as many Pacific Coast
towns has experience but each year
has had steady, substantial growth,
the number Of new buildings increas-
ing each year IN about the same per
cent to the number Of houses in the
town. This year Is going to be no
exception to the rule and there will
be the usual number Of new buildings
erected. For the time Of year there
are more buildings completed and
under course Of construction than
there was last year for the same
period, and the outlook is very favor
able that the remainder Of the year
will bring still greater activity in
building operations.
One Of the new buildings that is to
be begun within he next 10 days is a
brick block l00xl00 feet with 30 foot
walls, and will be erected by J. I.
Tuffs on lots he has on II street. i'm
mediately back of the Grants Pass
Banking e. Trust Company block, of
which he is the owner. This ground
is occupied at present by the old Ex-
oelsior livery barn. which will be at
once torn down. OF late this barn
has been occupied by T. Y. Dean
aud Chas. A. Dickson with their
Black Horse livery stable Messrs

and vehicles to other barns, they
taking part Of their outfit to the
Golden Gate barn on Il street back of
the Hotel Josephine They will have
their ofiice and telephone at this barn
and with extra help TO assist them
will be able to give the same prompt
service that has heretofore been their
rule
OF the new brick block 70xl00 of 1t
will be fitted up for an np-to-date
livery stable, and the adjoining sec
tion Of 30xl0O feet will be fitted up
for warehouse purposes. Dean 81
Dickson have taken long time
lease Of the main section Of the block
and will have it arranged for their
special needs. The first floor will be
used for vehicles and for the office,
while the second floor will be fitted
with stalls for the horses and with

for their occupancy within 60 days.
With enlarged quarters, Dean d
Dickson will be able to carry out
their plan of increasing their livery
equipment to meet the grow ing de-
mands Of their business. They now
have line of equippages that Is the
equal of any first class livery stable in
Oregon and they can turn out rig for
any purpose or any occasion. A
feature that they are making espe-
cially strong is in having good stock
In their stable. Instead as is the rule
with so many liyerymeu of having
their stalls filled with inferior horses
Dean a. Dickson make il point in
their purchases to get only the best
driving horses, they never holding
bnck on the price If the team is we'll
and hrst.olass roadsters
They are thus able to supply their
patrons with teams that are good
travellers, gentlo aud of presentable
Careful dri, ers are sent
with rigs when desired. aud their
prices arc so reasonable that the
pleasure Of II trip into the country, ,or
an evening drive can be enjoyed by
people who are not so fortunate as
to be millonairos
