Tacoma has never had a greater
fighter than Col. Chauncey Griggs
That is the impression left with
a close friend by one of the men
whose indomitable spirit kept Ia
coma growing at a time when
the city seemed doomed to flare
up as sawmill town and then
become nice little place on the
shore of Commencement bay while
its vitality was Slapped by its
stronger neighbor 30 miles to the
north.
And then this same man recalls
other things about Col. Griggs.
He was, 1t seems, the father Of the
fir lumbe- industry, forcing this
new type of timber on market
still used to that cut from the
forests of Michigan. Wisconsin
and Minnesota. But he was other
things to Tacoma, he was a mer-
chant, a contractor, a citizen who
believed it his duty to do his share
in politics and church.
Connecticut Yankee
Cal. Griggs had come to Ia
coma from Connecticut by way
OF Detroit banks, the battle fields
of the Civil war, fuel business ana
other mercantile lines in Mime
apolis where he was in business
at one time with James J. Jim
Hill. He also served in the Mime
sofa legislature.
Finally, Col. Griggs came TO
Tacoma to look around. Charles
Hibbard Jones, Addison g. Foster,
George Brown and Henry Hewitt,
jr., were here doing the same
thing. The Northern Pacific rail
way needed money and had tim
Der land to sell. Chance threw
these men together and with 10000
acres of N. =, timber land the St
Paul & Tacoma lumber mill
started. When Col. Griggs died in
October. 1910, he was still chair
man of the board Of that mill.
