12 THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, JIONDAY, AUGUST 31, 190S. Phases of Industrial Growth in the Pacific Northwest HOUSES IN DEMAND IT GRANTS NEW HOMES AT EUGENE, SHOWING CHARACTER OF IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE IN LANE COUNTY METROPOLIS Business Activity in All Lines Is Marked and City Is Growing Rapidly. NEW HOTEL IS BEING BUILT ! n Capitalists From North and East Are Projecting Irrigation . Sys tems for Valley Three-Cornered Fight Is In Progress. GRANTS PASS. Or.. Aug. 3D (Special.) Business activity in all lines Is marked and the city la going forward with a good growth. Houses to rent are at a pre mium. Besides the lack of residences for occupation the pace of the business cen ter Is far behind the needs or tne iowil B. F. Banks has begun operations to erect a new hotel, nils building will be of brick and three stories high and will contain upwards of 40 rooms. One part of the ground floor win be occupied by a restaurant In connection with the notei, The same need for suitable offices for Drofesslonal and business men Is also lacking but this is being met by J. O Booth, who is erecting an office building on the corner of D and Sixth streets. Irrlgution Project On. olTowing In the wake of these pro lve movements capitalists from tne and East are now In the field to rate a system of Irrigation for this ' the valley. At present there are ,-irties skirmishing for the strategic d until the preliminary positions .ht out it is difficult to decide who wiu finally have a clear field to act without opposition. It is conceded that the dam constructed bv Aments across Rogue River a short distance from this place is the control!' lng and best supply point for main and lateral ditches to start from. It Is be lieved that the owners of this dam realize the strength of its position for the reason Its owners upon installing the proper ma chlnery woul 1 be able to supply the en tire town with water at very little addi tional cost and that once a highland ditch be constructed around the foothills a. reservoir could easily be built high above any of the present buildings and would furnish ample fire protection of any desirable pressure for all time to come and under the present water system such high pressure cannot be maintained. Fight Is Three-Cornered. Figuring prominently In this three-cor nered fiaht are the owners of the new Grants Pass Water Light & Power Com pany's old dam across Rogue River just below the county bridge. With very little expense from this point of diversion water can be readily obtained for all lower valley points and machinery In stalled at this dam could readily handle water fur the south side of the river and the territory adjacent. If the owners of this dam should become operative it would directly affect the owners of the upper river dam and would quite likely put two companies in the field. It is believed that Morris Brothers, of Portland. Or., -might back any project of Irrigation for the reason they are the owners of the present water system in this city and any great increase in the population of the town would likewise in crease the value of their water plant two fold. If persistent circulating reports be true a third party stands in waiting to see the outcome of these owners of the two dams and if either fall to consum mate their present plans it is believed that this third party will silently grasp the situation and begin construction work. M'MINNVILLE IS GROWING Dwelling Houses to Value of $120, 000 I'ndcr Construction. MMINNVILLE, Or.. Aug. 30. (Spe cial.) Dwelling houses contemplated and already under construction in this city will aggregate an expenditure of about $120,000. All the carpenters In this vicinity have been drafted into the service of the local contractors, and one contractor is advertising In the columns of The Oregonian for ten additional carpenters, assuring them work for three months. The new music hall for McMinnvllle College, the large auditorium being constructed by the city, both costing in the neighborhood of $20,000, together with the JSO.000 milk condensery now nearing completion, and a $6000 busi ness block added to the first Item, will contribute handsomely to McMinn vllles permanent improvement fund for the year. REBUILDING IRON WORKS w Structures to Be. Erected Albany Will Cost $10,000. at ALBANY. Or., Aug. 30. (Special.) tVork will begin tomorrow on the re building of the Albany Iron Works, a portion of which was destroyed by fire on the evening of July 31 last. Four new buildings will be constructed. They will be used respectively for the ma chine shop, foundry, blacksmith shop and wood-working room. The new build ings alone will cost at least $10,000. Pending the rebuilding of the plant, the machine shop has been temporarily established in the brick building of the plant, which was not injured by the fire. The company secured a number of new machines in Portland and have some more en route here from the East. Work on the new buildings will be rushed as rapidly as possible. A KBW USPAKTCBE, The cost of Interments has been greatly reduced by the Holman Undertaking Company. Heretofore it has been the custom of funeral directors to make charges for all Incidentals connected with a funeral. The Edward Holman Undertaking Company, the leading funeral directors of Portland, have departed from that custom. When casket is furnished by us we make no extra charges for embalming, hearse to cemetery, outside box or any services that may be required of us, except clothing, cemetery and carriages, thus effecting a saving of fc!5 to $75 on each funeral.

GEMS, Or., AUg. ou. laptfim.l I Keeping pace with the improvement I a-- jn the business section of Eugene, the residence section has not only shown remarkable growth in the past two years, but tne Kina oi nouses con structed and homes built up are among the" most satisfactory marks of the city's progress. The accompanying cuts have been chosen to illustrate some of the char acteristics of the architecture being em ployed here, and the houses shown are fairly representative of many of the re cent homes being built up in Eugene. This city is most fortunate in having at hand a great variety of building ma terials, a number of which appear In the above pictures. Of course, no bet ter lumber can be had for general build ing proposes than that which is manu factured in and about Eugene, and wood is still the principal material of con struction. But concrete plain and In colors, local brick. Eugene sandstone and cobblestones from the Willamette River, which runs through the town, are among the materials which are being utilized by the home builder here.

STATTON, Or.. Aug. 30 (Special.) Unprecedented activity is now manifest In the North Santiam mining district. Not only are scores of men at work in the mines, but improvements are being made which will give the district much better transportation facilities. A force of 60 men Is now at work ex tending the present wagon road from Gates to Elkhorn. a distance of four-miles to the mines. The new road will give the miners a good exit to the town of Gates, on the Corvallls & Eastern Rail road, which is the shipping point for the district. The completion of this road means the establishment of a smelter in the district at once. A few of the largest companies have banded together for this purpose. The building of the smelter will neces sarily Include the construction of a big power plant. With the smelter construct ed, the companies plan to double their force of workmen and rush the develop ment of the mines rapidly. The output of this district is beginning to Justify a railroad in the near future, and representatives of a transportation company made an investigating trip into the district last week. There has been a rumor current at the mines that the Corvallls & Eastern would run a branch from Gates into the district. It is now believed that an electric line is being pro jected to run from the mines to Gates and connect with the C. & E. There is also talk of an electrlo line from Salem. The district is rich in minerals, gold and copper predominating. These are found in paying quantities, and lead and some silver have also been uncovered. There are now four mines being oper ated the Gold Creek, Freeland Consoli dated, Electric and the Black Eagle.

OREGON CITT, Or., Aug. 30. (Spe cial.) The rains of the last few days have been generally beneficial to the hops of this section, though the crop is not so far along as It was last' year at this time. A large amount of hop acreage has been plowed up, and In the yards that remain the cultivation has been notice ably insufficient, and It Is expected that the crop will be very short, not aver aging more than 500 pounds to the acre. In most of the yards picking will not commence until the early part of next week, and even later in some instances. The pickers will work on a strictly weight basis this season, and in most cases the growers will pay $1 a hun dred, but it Is reported that some of the growers In the Butteville district will pay only 70 cents a hundred. The low market price of hops has discouraged hop men, so that in many sections very little care has been given the yards. PREPARING F0R PAVING Work Is Now in Progress on Streets of Centralla.

LIBEL BECOMES EXPENSIVE French Courts Chanjr Tactics In Dealing With the Press. PARIS. Aug-. 29 (Special.) Twenty five dollars for calling anyone a swindler, a thief and an assassin were formerly considered quite substantial damages In French libel suits, but the courts have recently changed their tactics. The Countess Crossley de Clare has Just been awarded $20,000 damages against the comic Illustrated paper La Rlre. which printed a libellous article about her, ag gravated by a caricature. The Rlre'B joke turns out no laughlns matter for the proprietors and the man ager of the paper. The latter gets six months' Imprisonment, and the former, besides the damages, must pay a fine of $400 and the cost of 251 publications of the judgment of the court, including one on the front page of their own comic paper.
