Arc Lights for Grants Pas.

Work will be commenced next
week by the G. p N. w., l.. & p.
90. to install the arc system that is
to replace the incandescent lights on
the business streets of this city. The
lights are to be swung on wires over
the center of the intersection of the
streets at a heighth of 80 feet from
the ground Poles will be set at the
opposite angle corner from the present
poles and from tho two poles will be
strung the wire that is TO sustain the
arc lamp. Six of these lamps are to
be located on Sixth street at the in
tersections of that street with A, O.,
Il, Ii, J and L streets. Two will be
on q or Front as usually called, one
at tho intersection of Fourth and one
west Of Gilbert creek at the junction
of Main and q streets. And one
will be placed ON Fifth street at the
alley crossing between q aud ii
streets The city puts no light on
Sixth street at the intersections of
either f or q streets as that section
of Sixth street will be lighted by an
arc lamp that the Railroad Company
will put IN at the depot. The Com
pany will also put in an arc lamp on
their grounds near the roundhouse.
With these IL arc lamps, which are
to be of 20OO candle power each, the
business section of Grants Pass will
be as we'll lighted as any other city in
the United States, The incandesoent
lamps that the arc lights replace,
will be placed in the residence dis
triots that are in need Of street lights.

Another great battle was fought

The peace rumors which were rife

proportions as to prevent that govern

FINE COLD STORAGE PLANT
Laraest Of Kind on S. p. In Oregon
South Of Portlo nd.

Grants Pass Is soon TO have one OF
the largest and best equipped cold
storage plants ON the Pacific Coast.
This establishment is to be put in by
E. L. Cass, the we'll known capitalist
Of this city. Mr.. Cass was offered
liberal Inducements to put the plant
in Medford. but though given no
bonus he chose Grants Pass, he con-
sidering this city the commercial
center Of Southern Oregon and offer
ing the best trade Inducements Of any
town in the state south of Salem.
The building to be erected by Mr..
Cass Will be 63xl06 feet with IS foot
walls and 1856, 600 feet OF lumber will
be used in its construction. This
will be furnished by the Williams
Bros, Door Il Lumber Co., and a
large part Of the lumber has
been delivered this week and the
remainder will be delivered as fast as
required by the builders. The
foundation will be of concrete in SO
piers and four sill walls. This work
was begun last Saturday by G. f.
Ross and ID. ii. Brown, who put on a
force of men to assist them and they
will have the job completed this
week. The supervision of the car
penter work will be by ID. A. Fitzger-
aid, one Of the most competent build
ers in Grants Pass. Mr.. Fitzgerald
begun work Monday getting the tim
bers ready and next week he expects
to begin to raise the frame Of the
building. Mr.. Fitzgerald has quite a
force Of men at work but later on he
will put on few more men, but he
has engaged all the men he expects to
require.
1t is expected to have the building
completed and the machinery INSTALL
ed and all in readiness for operation
by the first Of May. 1t will be fitted
with a 10 Ton ice plant and distilled
water will be used, thus iDsuring
pure, healthfGl ice. A 20 ton re-
frigerator plant will be a part of the
equipment. The building will be fit
ted for handling fruit, vegetables,
meats, butter, eggs, beer and other
commodities. The icing of refriger-
ator cars for the railroad company
will also be handled.
The building will be located to the
east OF warehouse In row in the rail
road grounds on land leased Of the
Southern Pacific and will extend from
+ street to the side track thus giving
access by team at one end and by
cars from the other end.
This cold storage plant Will be a
most important addition to the in
dustrial and commercial activities of
Grants Pass and Mr. Cass should and
will, receive the hearty cooperation
of the business men Of this city in max
ing his venture success. While the
Investment will be very large, 1t will
no doubt be profitable as this will be
the only complete cold storage plant
i'll Southern Oregon.

A rumor that has been circulated
10 the effect that government de-
tectives were examining land claimi
IN this district with view to future
prosecutions, has caused some OF the
holders Of timbered bomesteads to be-
come somewhat exercised over the
situation. These fears are generally
speaking, groundless. A homestead,
IL the law is complied with, takes
precedence over any other public land
claim. Then again. the people thai
Uncle Sam is after In the land in

EARLY FRUIT IN BLOOM
Almonds and Peaches Unfold
Their Blossoms

The mild, spring like weather OF
the past month has sent the frHit buds
along at a surprisingly rapid rate OF
development. The almond trees have
been in full bloom for nearly week
and the peaches are just beginning to
bloom out, while the other varieties
Of early blooming fruit show pro-
portionste development.
This precocity on the part of the
fruit buds is generally presumed to
be perilous to their future safety, but
observation shows that the fruit in .
year of early blooming is nearly as
safe as when it blooms later There
are frosts in every spring after the
peaches bloom and whether OF not the
fruit is seriously injured depends very
largely upon its condition when the
frost comes. When the peaches
bloom extraordinarily early as in the
present year, there is 8 likelihood
that by the time the late frosts come
the fruit will be SO far developed that
it will not be harmed, when If it had
bloomed later, it would have been
more tender and susceptible to in
jury. There have been years when
the frosts have severely thinned the
peaches and spared the almonds, as
the latter we're so much farther de-
yeloped.
Wild flowers are now blooming il
profusion, not only the very early
varieties bat the more handsome ant
snowy kinds which usually bloom il
April. All the vegetable life il
quickened and growing rapidly ant
there are some early gardens already
we'll under way.
