OLD SETTLER SEES
BIG CHANGE IN CITY
y. q. Chaplin Used TO PIow Corn
Where First National Bank Now
Stands; Dabbled i'm Mining

F. G. Chaplin, OF Horse creek, was
in town the other day transacting
business at the courthouse While
waiting for some information that he
wanted he sat down In chair and
became somewhat reminiscent. He
remarked that Grants Pass was
somewhat different than he remem-
bered 1t when a boy. He said that
as near as he could recollect the
First National bank stood in about
the middle Of his fathers corn field,
in which he had toiled A years ago.
and what was now Grants Pass was
his fathers farm. This he bought
for 5000 from Ben Mensch. and later
sold 1t to Lincoln Sayage's father at
a tremendous profit, receiving $3.50.
Later the railroad came through,
and what is now Grants Pass sold
for seven or eight thousand dollars
the old farm was plated and
things were booming. But the rail-
road continued to go on and eventu-
ally the business went with 1t. as at
that time there was nothing around
here to maintain a town except the
men employed in the construction
work on the railroad.
AT the time Mr.. Chapin's father
sold to Mr.. Savage. the railroad was
approaching Merlin and Chaplin SEN
ior saw an opportunity for business
at that town and went there and open
ed up a general merchandise store,
the same store now being conduct
ed by Mr.. Mitchell. It was one OF
the largest stores in Southern Ore
gon and the stock of goods alone
was insured for $4,000, which in
those times was tremendous stock.
But eventually Merlin, like Grants
Pass, suffered relapse when the
railroad continued on its journey
south, and the senior Chaplin saw
the hand writing on the wall and got
out from under just in time to save
his hide
Mr.. Chaplin Sr., then went up
Grave creek where he engaged in
mining, which he continued for ten
years. at which time he closed out
with profit of $4,000. However.
he was like all miners and most of
the early settlers, of a rowing dispo-
sition. and never after was he able
to avail himself of a profit-sharing
business with nature. He is now ST
years old and unusually rational.
and lives with his son on Horse
creek which is tributary of Jump
off-Joe. but If the old gentleman can
be gotten into talkative mood he
can tell many interesting events of
the early history of Josephine coun-
ty and Southern Oregon.
