THE cHAMnnR OF COMMERCE.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
In the local Chamber Of Commerce
Grants Pass has an institution OF
which every resident Of this city
and OF Josephine county ought to
b. proud. Many cities in the state
hare commercial organizations, but
one has to travel long way to find
body Of men with the pep. push
and pull that is exhibited by this
city's boosters. sye
A town II simply matter OF the
people In II. Whatever the people
are. SO the town is. II the people
sleep. the town win sleep also. But
II the residents Of a place are alive,
awake to every possibility. that city
viii forge ahead and 1t cannot be
kept back in spite Of the kaiser.
To new resident In this city
Grants Pass seems to have just the
organization necessary. Never has a
finer. more progressive. wide-awake
body OF men and women been seen
than that which attended the meet
ing in the club rooms last evening.
The spirit is contagious and the
stranger cannot enter the gates Of
the city without feeling it.
This is one OF the first things
which impresses the prospective res
ident, and IL the goods" are back
Of the argument, SO to speak, the at
traction is double.
And without doubt Grants Pass
has the goods. With the immense
timber and mineral wealth surround
ing the city. with the fertile. produc-
tive. agricultural land Of Josephine
county, and with the ideal climate
for fruit growing, there is no ques.
tion as to the possibilities Of this
country.
Then 1t seems that the main thine
TO do is to sit tight and keep up the
morale until the time comes tc
strike out, and the city which is best
prepared will reap the greatest bene
at at the earliest date.
And for maintaining this morale
no institution can serve the purpose
better than good civic center
where people Of every faith, Of ever,
business and Of every interest car
meet and work for common cause
Grants Pass has a fine organiza
tion, but 1t should not rest unti
every business and professional mar
and every farmer within touch Of thu
city becomes member. It is wortf
the price.

used as training ship, her decks
swarmlng with young midshipmen at
their first lessons in seacraft
Centred in these surroundings is an
old manor house, which, erected as a
private residence thirty-five years ago
by wealthy British land owner, will
serve as the central hospital building.

the hospital will be 1000 feet long, and
yards on either side will accommodate
from sixty to one hundred patients
