ious commercial clubs, has returned
home.
In an interview with the Salem
Statesman he gives the following as
his impressions of Grants Pass:
"At Grants Pass they also found
the paving fever, and many blocks
of bitulithic are going down. Grants
Pass has S0-foot streets, and
Salemite can easily imagine himself
at home there. Secretary Andrews
Of the commercial club and Mr.
Lucas, a wide-awake real estate deal
er, recently from the east, took Mr..
and Mrs. Hofer up the Rogue river
and through the fruit district for an
extended automobile ride. Most of
the orchards thereabouts are still
young, but they are fine looking and
promise good results. Irrigation is
being used to a considerable extent,
and there are in evidence entire
rows of irrigation pumps along the
banks Of the Rogue, with pipes lead
ing off into the orchards, melon
patches and gardens. The soil is
mostly decomposed granite, which
responds freely to good cultivation
and irrigation. Grants Pass had a
close call from the recent forest fire.
A number of farm dwellings were
burned, and for a time the city was
in serious danger. Here they found
Mr.. G. P. Bishop, former mayor of
Salem, interested in an up-to-date
business and an optimistic
Grants Pass booster. In Mr.. An
drews, the commercial club certain
ly has an energetic worker, and a
young man who will secure great re-
suits for the community.
"The ride from Grants Pass to
Medford at this season of the year
is striking one for two reasons.
The contrast between the very dry
fields and hills and the beautiful,
refreshing Rogue river, lends a Pc
culiar touch to the scenery that is
effective. The deep blue Rogue

Street Paving at La Grande.

The big rock crushing machinery
of the Warren Construction company
has been put in operation at La
Grande and the dump wagons began
making deposits from the inter-
section Of Fourth street on Adams
avenue, The newly opened quarry
above Ore Dell has a night and day
crew and the crushing plant will
handle 800 tons of rock per day. In
establishing the rock crushing ma
chinery the preliminary preparations
have been most elaborate and It is
the expectations that this plant will
be maintained for a period of from
three to five years. There are now
something In excess of 90 blocks
that are to have hard surface paw
ing and petitions are coming to the
council for this same class of i'm
provement on the connecting streets
and districts. II is almost certain
ty that Jefferson and Washington
avenues will be paved the same as
Adams avenue, and a petition Is al
ready before the council for the paw
inr Of Fourth street.
A great majority OF the property
owners realize that macadam work
Is not the thing desired and will in
sist on paving, The difference is
about the same as that Of a board
walk and cement sidewalk Those
who are in the districts to be i'm
proved are insisting on the best that
is to be had, and this disposition and
interest Is what will make La Grande
the best paved town in the north.
