Grants Pass 10 starting of in the
year 1905 at pace that makes it GER
tain that this year il to break all
previous records in building and in-
dustrial growth and give such an i'm
petus that the city will distance all
other towns Of Rogue River Valley
In growth and become as is certain,
the big city of Southern Oregon. and
the largest place between Salem and
Sacramento.
With this week will be laid the
foundation for the third planning mill
for Grants Pass and be an establish
ment that will have eight machines
and employ about Is men. 1t Ia all
but certain that Eastern parties will
within the month begin the work OF
erecting box factory and planning
mill. which will be the second
box factory and the fourth planning
mill. The city low has two bfeweries
In successful operation, the second
one having been completed aud
brewing commenced last week. Next
week will witness the laying of the
foundation for cold storage building
that is to be 60x1O0 feet and be the
most complete and best equipped
plant between Portland and Sacra-
mento for handling meats, fruits.
butter. eggs, beer. et". Within the
near future, the Grants Pass Touring
mill is to be enlarged from 40 to 100
barrel capacity and equipped with
electric power. The first car load of
machinery arrived this week that is
to increase the equipment Of the
Grants Pass Iron & Steel Works and
make 1t the largest and most com
plete machine shop and foundry in
Oregon south Of Portland.
This large and substantial addition
to the industrial establishments OF
Grants Pass means that the payroll of
the city will be increased fully %
per cent and brought up to a size
equaled by but few towns of the size
Of this place on the Pacific Coast.
While 1t is usual for little building
to be done during the winter months,
even in this mild climate and country
of 12 months restless energy, yet
| there are now i'm Grants Pass Ia
dwelling houses under course OF
erection and several more are to be
begun in the near future. The brick
is now being delivered and work will
soon be begun on the first bricR
business block for 1905. 1t is practi.
cally certain that several more blocks
mill be erected this year, besides
some one-story bricks that are to have
the second story added. 1t will be a
conservative estimate to say that loo
residence and business houses will be
erected in Grants Pass during the yeal
1905. Yet Grants Pass is not in the
midst of a boom, nor never has had a
boom. but is growing steadily and
with just the same degree of speed at
the surrounding country is developing
that is giving the solid foundation tC
this substantial prosperity that
Grants Pass, the Spokane of Southern
Oregon, is having.
