ROGUE RIVER LINE
COMPANY TO BUILD

To rise on the Southern Pacific
right-of-way, opposite the round
house. will be warehouse for the
Rogue River Lime company and an
other building nearby which will be
used to house the lime company's
big caterpillar traction engine,
Workmen are already busy at the
scene and the two structures will
rise rapidly. S. B. Gorvutt, manager
of the company, states that the ware
house will be 40xs0 feet in dimen-
sions and the engine house 16xs6.
The engine house will also be used
to protect supplies needed for the
big caterpillar.
The Rogue River Lime company's
quarry is located on Cheney creek.
10 miles southwest from Grants
Pass. The company has made good
progress in getting its plant at the
quarry and work underway, and has
already turned out some lime, which
was sold to local people. When
ready for regular work the plant will
turn out 100 barrels Of lime daily,
says Manager Gorvutt. But this ca
pacity will be enlarged at not dis
tant date until the company is sup
plying a large territory with lime.
The big caterpillar traction engine
will haul the output of the works to
Grants Pass, where It will be placed
in the warehouse beside the South
ern Pacific tracks and loaded on
cars as orders require.
The lime company will soon prove
one of the big assets OF Josephine
county. The promoters have already
spent considerable money in the city
and county, and when working un-
der full headway will have payroll
that will be appreciated by the busl-
ness interests of the city.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
APPOINT COMMITTEES

The newly elected board of trus-
tees of the Commercial club held
its first meeting in the club rooms
last night. Standing committees
were appointed for the work Of
1923. Much enthusiasm was
shown by all and it was generally un-
derstood that the most important
work for the board to take up at
this time is the Strengthening of the
club, to the end that a better feel
ing among the members be generally
encouraged and the club put in
good financial condition.
Committees will be appointed to
call on as many of the members as
it is possible to reach and enlist their
support in the building up of the or
ganization and all working together,
so that when matters of interest to
the community are presented the
Commercial club as a whole will
work in unison in securing the de-
sired end.
Members of the board feel that
much good can be accomplished in
this way. A letter is to be sent to
every one whose name appears on
the roll, inviting them to get togeth-
er, attend the meetings and to not
be backward in voicing their senti-
ments. The opinion of all Is desired
and requested on all matters. There
are a number of citizens who should
be members of the Commercial
club; these too, will be called on,
and their assistance and co-opera-
tion solicited.
AS was generally expected before
the election the salary of the secre-
tary was reduced.
Standing Committees.

tees were appointed for the ensuing
year:

$4,000 cash. and $1,000 on or before
six months from date, interest at s
per cent.
Stricken moved that certified
checks OF Blake and Lundberg be
returned to them, which was way
of saying the council would then con-
slider Mashburn's bid. This was
adopted. Mashburn was present and
was asked by Mayor Smith how
much time he could give the city pro-
vided his bid was accepted The
Golden Rule manager stated that he
had a chance now to get hold of
some cash out of the money market,
but that chance would fade quickly
If he did not act at once.
Can you give us until Saturday
to decide the matter?" asked the
mayor.
Then, In that case could not get
definite reply to my man before
Monday" said Mashburn.
Let us take recess" said the
mayor, and the councilmen, mayor
and Mashburn adjourned to the
auditors office few minutes and
discussed the matter. On the re-
turn of all parties to the council
chamber Stricken moved that the
Mashburn bid be accepted, with the
proviso that the purchasers do not
take possession before July /, and
that all movable objects, including
bell and jail cells be reserved to the

Finger moved to amend this motion
by providing rider TO the effect that
the city make preparations to begin
to build at once a new city hall on
the lots the city owns at Fourth and
Fl street. This proposed amendment
was thought by several OF the coun-
cllmen to be unnecessary as the
same matter could be adopted In q
separate motion. But Herzinger In
sisted on the amendment to the or
iginal motion vote resulted In
five yea votes and three nay, Her.
fingers amendment being adopted
the original motion to accept Mash
burns bid, was put to a vote and re-
suited in seven yeas and one nay,
Caldwell voting nay. Stricken then
moved that the mayor name a com
mlttee Of four councilmen to look
into the question as to what class
and kind of building was best for
the new city hall, to look over the
site and determine how the building
should front, and other details. May
or Smith then appointed on this
committee Clark, Stricken. Mclean
and Everton.
