VISIT GRANTS PASS
Delighted With Rogue River Val
ley-Compliment Southern
Oregon Metropolis.
Wednesday was a notable day la the
history of Grants Pass for on that day
the metropolis of Southern Oregon
greeted the first big delegation of bus
iness men from Portland, the metrop
olis of the Northwest, that ever visit
ed Kogoe River Valley.
This delegatiou made op of nearly a
nnndred of Portland's leading merch
ants, manufacturers, railroad men,
financiers and newspaper men left
Portland Tuesday noon on special
train and stopping at the Willamette
Valley towns on the main line of the
Southern Pacific during the afternoon
aud evening. During the night the
train made the ron to Grants Pass, ar
riving here early in the morning,
where a brief stop was made to take
on the special committee of welcome
for Grants Pais. This committee was
made npof Mayor George Good, Conn
ty Judge J. O. Booth and C. L. Jdau-
gom, president of the Miners Associ
ation, and tbey accompanied the Port-
landers on their tour of Rogue River
Valley.
The tralu ran direct to Ashland,
where the eicnrsionists were enter
tained for two hours in a manner be
fitting that hustling yonng city.
The return trip was then begun, the
special train running to Medford, where
it was switched to the Jacksonville
Hue and the trip made to that town.
A welcome, snob as Jacksonville is
famous for, was given to the disting
uished visitors, aud a stop of 30 min
utes made. Medford was the next
point aud here a stop of an hour was
made during which the Portlaoders
were most hospitably entertained. A
brief stop was made at Central Point,
the big electrio power plant at Gold
Ray viewed, aud then a slop at Gold
Hill was made. A feature of the re
ception here was the ojubIo by the
Girls Cornet Band, and organiza'ioo
made up of 14 school girls under the
leadership of J. F. Nielson. The girls
so pleased the excursionists that
the hand was hired by the Grants Pass
reception committee to accompany the
party to this city. On the way down
they gave a number of selections aud
were presented with a purse of 30
which was contributed by the Port
landers. The train made a stop at
Golden Drift, where the visitors
speut 10 miuutes in inspecting the
biggest mining pumping plant on the
Pacific Coast.
Arriving at Grants Pass the train
pulled into the depot yard amid the
blowiug of all the factory whistles
aud of the locomotives at the round
house aud in the switch yard. The
general reception committee of 200,
together with a big gathering of the
citizens were ou baud to give a hearty
welcome to the representatives of the
metropolis of the Northwest from the
metropolis of Southern Oregon. The
visitors were at once escorted to the
opera house where the formal recep
tion was held. Loug tables had been
set, graced with large dishes of lut-
cious Btrawberries aud big pitchers of
rich Josephine County cream, au
decorated with oak leaves, Oregon
grape and chrysanthemums. The
strawberries aud the use of the opera
house was the geuerons coutribution
of II. C. Kiuuey aud H. L. Truax. of
he Sugar Piue store. The table set
tings were mostly from the Hotel
Josephine, the contribution of Mayor
Good. The artistic decorations of
the tables and the hall aud the splen
did table servioe was due to tho
iid ies of Grants Pass, whose assistance
did much toward giviug the city's
guests the very favorable impression
hat they receive.1 of Grams Pass.
While the visitors were regaling
themselves on the strawberries and
cream, addresses of welcome and the
responses were made. Rev. J. B.
Travis, president ot the Municipil
League, greeted the guests in a brief
aud well worded speech, in which he
spoke of the bright future of Grants
Pass, the vast resources of Josephine
connty. He expressed the sentiment
of Grants Pass that this visit from
the representative men 'of Portland
would do muoh toward the upbuilding
of Rogue River Valley, for with
Portland having a knowledge of the
vast undeveloped resooroei of this
section of Oiegou, they will be the
more interest d in our wellfare. In
response to calls W. O. Duuiway, for
merly a lea-ling editorial writer ou
the Oregouian, but now at the head of
a big job printing office in Portland,
responded on hehall of the guests.
Mr. Duuiway spoke of the surprise
after surprise that had greeted the
Portlanders since they began their
trip through Kogue River Valley, in
the bright, hustling towns they saw,
the great orchards, the splendid
showing ot mineral, timber aud ag
ricultural wealth aud the vast water
power that made certain a prosperity
such as but few other sections of the
Paicfic Coast could even enjoy. He
complimented GraoU Pass on the
business activity lor which it is noted
aud boped the ties between Portland
aud Grants Pass would grow stronger
that each might he helped by the
other. Colonel Tom Richardson, the
boss bottler of the Pacific Coast,
the manager of the Portland Commer
cial Club, and the chaperone of the
excursionists, was not on tbe schedule
for a speech, but the Grants Pass
people, who are some hostlers them
selves, wanted to have this apostles of
the strenuous life as applied to the de
velopment of a new country, give
them a few pointers and they called
until tbe genial Colonel had to forego
feOGUE RIVER COtikiER. GRANTS PASS, OREGON,' NOVEMBER 17, 1905.
bis strawberries, aud in a feliritiona
speech spoke of new Oregon, a state
old in settlement, greit in area, rich
beyond measure la resources, the least
population of any state on the Paci Bo
Coast, but now with its awakeuing
destined to be the most productive,
tbe richest and the most populous of
any Western state. He hoped these
business fxciirsions would become
permanent features, and that each
year the business men of Portluad
would visit the various sections of
Oregon, and that the citizens of the
towns would return these visits. The
friendship and co-operation thus
built up would be mutually helpful
to all inteiestsaud to all parts of Ore
gon. From the opera house the visitors
were taken to the exhibit room of the
Grants Pass Miners Association,
where they were shown samples of
the many minerals that are found in
Josephine conuty, and of the other
productions that are to make this one
of the wealthy couutiea of the state.
Then the visitors were token for a
hnrried trip through the business
section of the city, but as the train
had been late in arriving, but 45
miuutes was had ftoni arrival until
departure, but in this brief time the
distinguished visitors saw much of
Grants Pass and they expressed them
selves, without show of flattery, as
having great confidence in the future
growth o' this city. They boarded
their train at 4:40 p in. to continue
their homeward journey and on say
ing gordbye expressed themselves a
hundred times repaid for having
visited Rogue River Valley aud with
a cheer of hearty good will from the
citizens of Grants Pass the train
pulled out for Portluud.
Grants Pass had put on its best bib
and tucker in greeting its honored
guests, aud the streets were models of
cleanliness, and the bosiuess houses
vied with each other iu the handsome
show wiudows and iu the mat ap
pearance of their stores. Aud the
visitors were quick to note aud free
to comment on the spirit of civic im
provement that was apnareut, and if
the substantial, solid blocks of
briok buildings that frout the busi
ness srteets, and the metropolitan
appearance of the many big stores, and
last but not least the progressive
character aud hospitality of tho resi
dents of Grants Pats.
Topographic Survey of Siskiyou
Mountain.
A. I. Oliver, a topographer in the
United States Geological survey de
partment, aud w ho was in charge of
the six parties engaged this summer
in making the topographic survey of
the Grants Pass quadrangle, arrived iu
Grants Puss Tuesday to remain until
the heavy su oke, uow overcasting the
country, clears away.
On the completion of his work here
early in the full, Mr. Oliver went to
Siskiyou county, where lie has since
been enguged iu making triungulation
meatureuf? uts from all the peaks and
higher elevations of the S;skiyou
mountains, securing data for the
topographic survey of the Siskiyou
quadrangle, which the government is
now having executed. Arriving ou the
headwaters of Little Applegato, the
smoke so obscured the country as to
render distant objects invisible so he
had to temporarily suspend his work.
Giving his men a brief vacation, he
left his cuiup outfit ut a miner's cabin,
and came to Grunts Pass to put iu
the time until a rain shall have
cleared away the smoke, and put out
the forest tires that are burning at
many places iu the hills and mount
ains.

THE ABODE OF INVENTORS
A Connecticut Town That Hai
Many Patent Owners.
Ia the gift of invention a prodvet of
the soil? A strange question, perhaps,
but not so foolish as it sounds when
read in the tight of recently tabulated
patent statistics. These figures show
that an overwhelming percentage of
the inventive genius of America in
deed of the world is to be found with
in the confines of the state of Con
necticut, and, what is more remark
able, that much of that percentage ia
restricted to the city limits of New
llritaiu, says the Chicago Kecord-Jler-aid.
Since the United States patent laws
were enacted 1,447 inventions have
been patented by 344 New Hrilainers.
Within a ten-year period one patent
was granted each year for every 3tVT
inhabitants of the town, nearly three
times as many as the generaJ svernge
for all the reat of the state. Why ia
this so?
The offices of the New Britain patent
lawyers are an interesting spectacle
almost any day of the week,. Here one
finds many geniuses, queer and other
wise. There is the woman genhis with the
combination automatic crib and rock
ing chair. It is a brilliant idem, and
ought to sell like hot cakes at three
dollars each. No family can possibly
get along without oueof tlsem, and tbe
woman sees a fortune in her grasp.
She is but a specimen of hundreds of
others.
Heading the long list of successful
New llritaiu inventors is the name ot
Justus A. Trout, with a record of 121
patents. Mr. Trout has made a great
fortune out of his inventions, all ap
parently insignificant trifles. It is the
manufacture of these very trifles, how
ever, which constltulea'tJie financial
and commercial strength of Connec
ticut. Indeed, Connecticut inventions
have been restricted almost exclusive
ly to mere trifles.
George E. Adams eomea next in the
list with AS patents. It is scarcely pos
sible for the modern man or Woman
of any station in life to attempt to
dresa without recourse to fume one or
other of Mr. Adams' inventions. Sus
pender buckles, hose supiMirters, gar
ter fasteners, corset steels, hooks and
eyes, glove clasps, shirt studs, collar
buttons he hns invented galore.
Thomas K. Corscadcn comes third,
with .11 devices, among them, in all
probability, the handles of the eotTtn
In which you will be buried, and similar
grewsoine though necessary mechan
isms. Henry O. Voight. with 44, occupies)
the fourth place. Mr. Voight has de
voted his Ynnkee Ingenuity entirely to
the protection of life and properly.
He is a man of padlocks and door
knotis and latch keys and window
fasteners.
Fortunately for ths state, however,
all the Inventive genius of Connecticut
Is not routined to New Britain. Hart
ford. New Haven, Ansoi.ia, Waterbnry,
Ilridgeport and Merlden are likewise
hotbeds for ths propagation of Yankee
Ingenuity.
A typical example of ths Connecti
on inventor and his ingenious fertil
ity is found In the rase of "Chris"
Downey, of Waterbnry. Mr. Downey,
who is not ycL40 years old, Is the pro
prietor and manufacturer of 2H pat
ents, all of his own invention. He like
wise is a prolific newspaper corre
spondent, sending out Waterbnry news
to a string of no lee than 23 dally
newspapers. In addition to all this, he
Is now engaged upon the writing of a
eoinlc song.
It seems stranee that among the al
most innumerable line of Inventions
of which Connecticut, and particularly
New Itritain. boasts there are only a
few isolated cases of patents being
granted to women. In the list of New
llritaiu patentee's there are only four
women. Sarah Jane Wheeler utl rul
ed a currycomb In 1M11. Kliabcth
Mlnler took out a patent for a fruit
jar cover fastener In IMIO. Alice M.
Hohson patented a steam cooker in
IH'JI, and Km ores K. Malsnnbille
"meat tenderer" In 1HB7.
All the other devices contrived by
Connecticut women have proved either
defective or abMird when attempts
were made to patent the rights to their
manufacture. Why this should lie so
rni.es another question, quite as on
aiiiweralde as that asked in the begin
ning i f this article.

Isaao A. Maunlng, managing editor
of the Salem Stateman, tbe largest
Oregon daily ontside of Portland, ar
rived in Urants Pass last Friday and
remaiued over until Saturday evening
when he left for his return to Salem.
Mr. Mauning was taking a vacation
of a week, which he was spending in
the various Southern Oiegon towns.
As becomes a live newspaper man,
Mr, Mauuiug speut the entire day
viewing Grunts Pass aud gathering
information regarding the many re
sources that give the city the sub
stantial prosperity it has.'
This was Mr. Manning's first visit
to Grants Pass and to a Courier repre
sentative, who accompauied him, he
expressed as being surprised In all he
saw. That the more than half a mile
of main business streets should be
bnilt almost eutirely of brick
structures with hut few wooden
buildings aud uo shacks at all, was
aoniethlug he had not seen In another
Oregon town. The three story-blocks
aud the large stores with their com
plete stock of goods was another
feature that amazed him, for Mr.
Mauuiug knew Southern Oregon be
fore Urauts Pass was fouaded, aud
that the town could make such a
growth in these few years was more
than he expected to find. The well
graded etieetK, substantial sidewalks
and many flue homes in the residence
district Mr. MnuninB commented on
as additional proof that Grunts Pass
was a prosperous, growing town. Of
Grants Pass, Mr. Maiinlug stated
that It bore every evidence of It
having bat begun the growth that
was to make it one of the leading
towns of Oregou, while Rogue Itiver
Valley would become one of the
wealthiest and most populous sec
tions of the state.
Mr. Manning was a telegraph line
man and operator In his youth. He
was a lineman ou the telegraph Hue
that was.operated between Portlaud aud
San Francisco along the line of the
old stage road before the railroad was
built, and had his headquarters at
CaiiyonviUe aud worked as far south
as Grave creek. While at Canyon
ville he learned telegraphy, having
for teacher another bustling young
fellow, who since baa come to be
known to the world as lion. George
W. Colvig, now of this city, and one
of the leading attorneys of Southern
Oiegon. During tbe const rnction of
the railroad he was operator at Kiddie
when that was tho terminus and be
moved to the front as the road was
built south until it roadbed Glendale,
which was his hist station, be theu
removing to the Willamette Valley,
and taking up journalism, in which he
litis proven himself a success both as a
writer aud a managing editor.
