SHOWER BATHS FOR MEN AND WOMEN
Harry C. Smith, Manager of Burns Garage
Will Have Attractive Place Rady
Next Summers.
Ono way to got business Is lo go out
after It, and Harry C. Hmllh mana
ger of tho lluriiH Onrngo, Is a man
who bellovcs In stopping out. Mr.
Hmlth ban bought tho three-quartern
block across tho street wont of tho
roar of tho IJurns Oarage, and will
uso It for a modern camping ground
for tourlfits. Tho property was for
merly owned by Doug Ilaker, nnd
makes nn Idea) location for tho uso
to wltlch Mr. Smith Intends to put it.
A galvanized Iron nbed will bu built
around tho outside edge of tho entlro
property, with siilllclent stalls to ac
comodate CO cars easily and 75 with
a little crowding. Tho ground under
tho shed, and for 1C feet nut toward
tho center will bo covered with
gravel. In the middle it Ih planned
to havo a grassy plot, with u small
building iu tho center.
This small hnlh lm:. possibly to bo
of octagonal shape, will ho one of
the main features of tho camping
ground. Iu it will bo located comfort
stations and what tourists will most
highly prlre n shower hath for
ladleH ami another for men. No
other thing will bo so much appreci
ated by tourlstH coming In from a
long dusty trip than an opportunity
to renlly clean up. A well and wind
mill on tho premises will supply
water. Klectrlc lights from tho llurns
flarngo Dolco plant will illuminate
the grounds, giving the guests tho ad
vantage of making camp at what
ever hour of tho night they may ar
rive. Stoves and a Dutch oven .will
penult tho tourists to cook their
meals.
Tho camping ground, with Uh ab
solutely freo service to tourists will
be completed In tlmo for tho begin
ning of the tourist season next sum
mer. Tho Hums Oarage has at pro
sent six stalls for cars In tho rear of
their building, entninre to which mny
bci mado through tho building, or
from tho street In rear. Thi plnco
ban iiiceutly been equipped with elec
tric lights and a stove for cooking.
Fifty cars ran nlso be parkotl In tho
storage room.
An entrance to the new rnmrlng
ground will be mado opposite h9
rear of the garage, and tourlstH can
either drive tlirough tho building
from 2nd Steel and across, or from
First Htreoi, tho next to tho west,
without passing tlirough tho garage.
Sufllclont additional business Is ex
pected, of course, to make tho venture
pay, hut thu Hums Garage people do
not Intend .to placo any sort of re
striction on their guests, and wilt
olfer this hospitality without charge.
Mr. Smith saya tho garngo Is mak
ing niQUoy now, hut Hint It Is being
Hpont nt homo, and will continue to
bo spent here. HIh eirorls to provldo
for tho comfort of our summer vlslt
orH moaiiH much to tho town, for tho
better accomodations this place, cm
offer, the more people will want to
eomu HiIh way on their travalv. With
u national par1-to-park highway
parsing tnitigh bore, camping
grounds will be moie of a lecewlty
than ovor.
A road map of Southern Oregon
will bo painted on the front ot tho
present storage room an soon as tho
artist arrives to do tho work, whtah
Mr. Smith says l further ovldonce of
tho claim that tho Ilurna Onrago
knowH hut one rule, and that Is "ser

which was amply sustained last weok
by tho Halo of nlno Ford cars and'
