KANSAS COLONY TO

w. II. Sherman Makes Big Sale Of
Property Four Miles from
Grants Pass.

In the past six months w. b. Sher-
man has been working on getting
colony of Kansas City people located
In this district, and last week closed
a deal with parties from that locality
for something over two thousand
acres OF land on Louise creek and
vicinity
Two or three OF these colonists
will so on their portions of the lands
this fall and winter, the remainder
will come In one and two years from
now, they all being people who have
interests In the east and Will have
to get foot loose before they can
pitch their tents In their new adopt
ed home in the sunny Rogue River
valley, Oregon.
AS a nucleus to start from, Mr..
Sherman had $40 acres of land
which he had purchased Nof r. w.
Clarke, and he added several of the
Louise Creek ranches to this nucleus
and placed II with these Kansas City
people, several Of them having been
here and gone over the tracts with
him during the summer and fall,
The price paid for the lands ranges
from eight to twenty dollars per
acre.
The soil Is OF the river bottom
land along Louise creek, the red
bench lands and small per cent OF
granite, and when fully developed

worker and his friends now claim
that he is needed in a more import
ant capacity, shat is, mayor of the
city, for in no other place can he
do better service for Grants Pass.
The successful man this year will
undoubtedly be a Commercial Club
candidate and it is thought by many
business men that Mr.. Tufts is the
man.
There will undoubtedly be other
candidates brought out in the near
future but no names have been men,
toned so far since our last issue.
The election will take place the first
Monday in December, which will
make 1t the 9Th. Everybody feels
that Grants Pass is on the high way
TO success and much that is import
ant must be undertaken the COM
ing year.

NEW PRESIDENT FOR
GRANTS PASS B. & T. co.
Leon l.. Herricb, of SaulS Rapids.
Minn., Was Elected Thurs
day Afternoon.

On Thursday there was a meeting
of the Grants Pass Banking & Trust
Co. at which some important bust
ness was transacted. The object was
to make room for Leon l.. Herrick
on the board and for this purpose
Ed Lister resigned as director and
Jas. Tufts as president. This open
ed the way for Mr. Herrick to enter
the board as director and at the
same time he was elected president
and will be in direct charge OF the
bank.
There is no change in the bank
ownership except that Mr. Herrick
has picked up a considerable block
of stock on the outside. and being a
banker known to have had large ex-
perience, Mr., Tufts and other mem
bers of the board We're anxious to
have him connected with the bank
as president and manager. II should
be stated that Mr.. Tufts retains his
interest in the bank, but simply re-
tires as president to look after his
| personal business, which requires his
entire attention. The Grants Pass
Banking & Trust company is one Of
the strong financial institutions of
the Rogue river valley.
Leon l.. Herrick comes here from
Sauk Rapids, MINI, where he was
for 20 years engaged In the banking
business. Last summer he sold his
interest there and he and his wife
came to the Pacific Coast in search
OF new location, and while on this
trip stopped off at Grants Pass, with
which city and people they were well
pleased. At that time the prelimin-
airy steps were taken by Mr.. Tufts
and others to interest him In the
bank and the deal was consummated
yesterday. He comes here with the
very highest and best recommenda.
tions from financial circles and he
will be great advantage to the bust
ness interests of Grants Pass.
Mrs. Herrick and their two sons
one Is and the other IS years old
are still at their Minnesota home, but
they will be in Grants Pass in the
spring. The Oldest son is in his last
year In one Of the state normals TAX
ing course in manual training, in
tending to follow this line OF worl
as a teacher, Mr.. and Mrs. Herrlck
as well as their sons, will be an i'm
portant addition to Grants Pass 80
ciety and they will find here a heart,
welcome.

expected to pick up more or less OF

regarding candidates for mayor had
the effect of causing no little dis

mentioned. From what we can
learn from various sources Jas. II.
Tufts is regarded as the logical can
didate Some months ago the bust
ness men of the town united to build
up the Commercial Club so as to en-
sure successful work. Mr. Tufts was
visited and asked to lend his best
efforts to help make the club what
it should be. In reply to this he
signified his willingness to take
hold with other business men to
build up an organization that would
be a power for good in the commun-
ity providing always that it was un-
derstood factiOna' matters be drop
ped and that there be no North side
or South side, no wet. no dry, but
everything to be for the upbuilding
of Grants Pass. This was agreed to
and Mr.. Tufts put his shoulder to the
wheel and did good service. 1t was
a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull

Commercial Club was put on It's
