CRATER LAKE VISITORS - ARE GREATLY PLEASED Grants Pass People Find They ere Amply Repaid For Stren uous Journey. Mr. and Mrs. Will Ireland and Mr. and Mrs. Geo. R. Riddfo formed party of pleasure seekers who went over to see the sights around Crater Lake and they returned borne, more than pleased with their onting. Al- though it was a rather tedious trip and one requiring several days to make, yet they felt amply repaid for the undertaking and declare that words fail them in attempting to de scribe the magnificent scenery. The fishing was superb and had they not ran oat of ' hone feed jnst as they entered the hooting grounds, they would doubtless have brought home with them many trophies of the chase. As it was, they had all the enjoyment it Is possible for mortals to have and barring the breaking of a coupling of their camp wagon as they were wend ing their way homeward, there was no accident to mar the pleasure of the occasion. Among the interesting sights which they beheld was tbe "Big Hole," located at the inmmit of Flounce Rock Hill, some 900 feet in depth, with perpendicular walls and the excavation is made by a very small stream, on top of the mountain. Then cams the famous Rogue River rapids, with a fall of 200 feet ia a di'tance of 1000 feet, where the waters come down with a mighty crash. About 100 yards below comes the Fall Creek, with a perpendicular fall of 200 feet. One of the arreateat at tractions was the natural bridge formed by the disappearaoe of the Rogue River Into the earth aod then It comes ont again, something like 160 feet below, at almost right angles with the course of the main stream. Another fall in the Sooth Fork of Rogue Rivnr, abont 60 feet, the water enters into a very deep ravine and the water in all these falls and streams is as clegr as crystal and one coold easily see the bottom of each one with little effort. Of coorse Crater Lake was tbe attraction of all that was presented for their consideration and they say it was simply grand. Where the proposed hotel is located the ground is 7200 feet above sea level and the water is some 6300 feet at the same point. The water j is as bine as any 1 digo ever seen ; and so, when one sees pictures of the j lake, in which the water is given an! nnusual blue, it will be remembered that it is very true to the oatural conditions. The walla of the lake rise almost perpendicular nearly all the way around tbe large body of water. The lake is stocked with troat and each fifbernian is limited ' to a catch of five members of the tinny tribe. A nice launch and set-. eral row boats are doing service on ' the lake for the accommodation of the many sightseers who are freqneutlog i the place. The lake ia situated right at the summit of the Caacadu mount-! alns and one can there behold Mount Shasta, ;Monnt Pitt, Mt. Scott, and , Mt. Theilaon, sometimes called "Cow Horn Peak." Of coorse the scenery to be had from this vantage gronnd , simply beggars description and is a sight seldom equaled Bnd rarely ever j surpassed fT its grandnre. i The party had fine weather at firnt, bnt lattr on they encountered a ver itable blizzard with hail and snow , and a mighty wind. They found ' pretty "fine roads, ontil. they en countered some of that "sticky" ! thoroughfare north of Medford, when they had to get out and walk and it is a standing joke as to how large the ladies' feet appeared with'a lot of the realty clinging thereto. As they were leaving the wild country, a s arch party was out bunting for a N'ehrai"kau who had become lost in the wilds. He had been gone some three days with little prospect of his ever being found. On the whole the Grunts Panaites were highly pleased with their Hplendid outing. If you would avoid additional penal ty pay your taxes now. " Monday, September !, Mim Eruuia Telford's Kindergarten opens. Courier trial subscription, five week, 10 cents in stamps. NEW BOX FACTORY IS DOING MUCH BUSINESS This) New Industry Employing Large Number of Men and Proving to Be Flue Thing. "It's payrolls that oonnt," might well ne taken for a slogan by the people of Grants Pass who are build ing for the lotore growth and develop ment of this entire region and already the fruits of Una. agitatiou are becom ing manifest and some good establish ments, employing many , men are be ing started in this oily. One of the newest and best to be launched is the Grants Pass Box Co., which is located just east of ths olty, where SO acres of satiable grounds have been secored in close proximity to the railroad and easy of accesv to the city. Here the Couriersoribe found a scene of great activity and as he passed through Jths large establish ment and beheld how oomplete it was in every detail and saw that neithei money or fpaint had besn spared in seeoriaa the very best and most op-to-date eqaiptnent, be oonld not help bot be impressed with the idea that tbis is going to be one of the largest and best institutions of Its kind that is to be found in all this northwest. Only three short months bave elapsed 'since the first ground was broken for the (factory and although much of the expensive machinery has not yet arrived from the eastern factory, yet enough is here to enable the -management to rush orders for fruit boxes and folly two oars per day of the shocks aod on of dressed lum ber are hurried to the California markets, where thers Is a Urge de mand for it. Tbe main office of this enterprising conceru ia located at No. 1041 Moua dack building, San Francisco, where President V. W Warren and Secretary M. L. Laudeo have offices. G. D. Horner Is manager of the Grants Pass factory and the newigatherer found him head overbeels in work, bot jnst the same, be found time to greet the reporter in a cordial maoner and took pains to explain abont tbe workings of the big oonoern. . Manager Horner stated that there are at present 100 men employed in the work and that folly that number will be required right tlong, in order to carry on ths work which has besn outlined and for which preparations have been made. Tbis is a no small item in itself and it means much to Grants Pass, for '.tke company operat ing the big factory have no strings on ons oent of ths big payroll, which goes out in ths ordinary channels of trade here in Grants Pass and this fact is itoobtless greatly appreciated by the local merchants and dealers. When it is completed it will be one of tbe finest box factories and planing mills that is to be fonnd anywhere. At present only the box department Is in operation, bnt soon the machinery for the planing mill will be here, as it is now enroote from the eastern factories. One of the indications that the management proposes to ran no risks whatever, is that electric power is used to propel the ma chinery, one 100 H. P. motor and one 75 H. P. motor being required to per form the work. This means protection from fire, as well as clean and sure power. To make doubly anre of fire protection a huge tank.holdingg 80,000 gallons of water will be placed on top of the large fiO foot high storage building and the plant throughout will be equipped with automatio sprinklers, which will give the very best possible protection from tbe dreaded flames. Then, too, the foundatios of the bnildings and of tbe shaftings are of concrete, which means much for such a big bniiness. The building proper is 90x225 feet snd in it Is to be found lots of very expensive, right up-to-date ma chinery, some of which is not equaled on the coast and the hum and buzz of this machinery la so great that one can hardly "hear himself think," as the small army of skilled workmen are turning oot a large amount of stuff ready for shipment. The big storage room, 40x40 feet and ftO feet high is now In course of construct ion. Out through the yards are to lie seen Immense piles of lomher, resdy for use and placed in a convenient manner for the workmen to get at it Manager Horner informed the Courier man that the orders for ma terial bad been coming in very rapidly and that they were aboot swamped with soch orders. However, they are running foil shifts and working day and night in order to not disap point anyone. Mr. Hnrner assured the paper man that the management was glad to have any visitors who might be In terested in that line of work and that all sui h callers would find a hear'y weclome to come , and Inspect the factory throughout.
