SCHELL 4 SCHELL LEASE A
QUARRY NEAR TOWN
TO FURNISH CRUSHED ROCK
A Superior Product Furnished at a
Reduced Price for Building
and Roads.

A new industry has been started
which means much to Grants Pass
and the country Immediately around
it, and it has come at time when
it is most needed. We refer to the
rock crushing plant which H. A. and
S. S. Schnell are putting in at a
point just below White Rocks on
the south side of the river, the one
place on the river near here where
experts say is to be found the only
good rock to crush for street and
road purposes.
The firm of Schnell & Schnell
have leased from c. w. Ament a
quarter of mile of river front
where the rock crops and they are
putting in an immense rock crusher
which will be driven by 100-horse
power dynamo. Bunkers for crush
ed rock gravel and sand are being
constructed and these will be kept
filled ready for use. They will pre-
pare a superior material for streets
and roads and also for concrete work
as well as for mortar Of all kinds
used in building. The bunkers are
constructed so that wagons can be
loaded by gravity and any amount
can be turned out every day. The
work of completing the plant wfll
be pushed as fast as material can be
secured. The material turned out
by this modern rock plant will be of
great advantage to this city. The
rock 1t Is to crush Is of the most
durable quality and 1t will be furn-
ished in any size desired. The sand
will be washed so there will be no
mould left in 1t. In fact, nothing
but sharp, fine said
This for mortar purposes is much
superior to the ordinary sand in
use in the city. Another important
consideration is that the material
furnished by this firm will be as
cheap as the poorest stock which
has been Finished in past years.
Grants Pass has reached a point in
its history which demands good
building material and plenty Of It..
Many concrete buildings will be con-
structed in the near future and the
firm Of Schrell & Schuell will be
able to materially reduce the price
Of buildings of this kind. Road and
street work will be made a specially
and the city, county and citizens
can save money by dealing with
them.

the Big Association.

There was a meeting of fruit men
at the Commercial Club rooms on
Wednesday afternoon and evening to

sociation. Prof. O'Gara made an en-
thusiastic talk along the line of the

If the fruit industry is to be made a
success in the Rogue River valley.
He urged that the capital stock be
subscribed without delay so that the
association may get to work at once
so as to be ready for the crop of
fruit and produce which is now
forming.
Committees were appointed to
canvass the city and county to get
up the capital stock. On Thursday
these took the field and up to date
something over $3500 worth OF the
stock has been subscribed and still
the good work is going on. Jose
phlne county, If it is given time, will
do its full share, for 1t has much
to gain by and through the Rogue

thing in every line Of business and It
Is particularly so in fruit and
produce.

LOOKING UP OLD
TERMINAL GROUNDS

Several years ago, when the SUBJ
ject of railroad south from this city
was proposed by Gum and Draper,
they asked for land for a terminal
in this city. The property was Sc
lected by them and number OF our
citizens put up $1,000 of the pur-
chase price, and the railroad people
put up the balance, $500, and ac-
cording to agreement the deed was
taken in the name Of committee
representing those who paid the
$1,000. From time to time the road
promoters had been In this city,
since, having large mining interests
in the southern part of this county.
They kept their railroad franchise
alive and protected their right OF
way, and consequently they were at
all times in a position to do busi-
ness.
On Friday morning their attorney,
A. G. Hough, of this city, received a
letter instructing him to secure, II
possible, the terminal grounds, they
offering to pay back the $1,000 and
interest thereon, as they expect to
need the property for railroad pur-
poses in the near future.
Little is known in this city as to
what Is going on, but that the South
ern Pacific is In the deal, as mention
ed last week, is surmised. The next
move will be watched by Grants Pass
people with interest. Our citizens
can put 1t down as fact that 1910
will do great things for Grants Pass.
