McMCBBAY, General Passenger agent. Portland, Or. . iU . . ..t busmen tangled, the Rogne river has gave way to the home of the settler, i " " l""" . Nearly all the promiuent, cities of the Rogue river valley have some specialty that has contributed to a greater degree than any other factor to their growth and prestige. QrauU Pas has no specialty. It resource are diverged and well nigh inex haustible, and it people have the force, push and enterprise wbioh i essential to success as are the gifts of nature, witboot which it cannot be won. The wonderful richness of soil, barked by a great natural wealth of foreet and mine, was sufficient to form the ground work of Grants Pass. These great natural advantages attracted good men and made men good. Their citixons were of the resiles, energetic type, which worked wonders wherever they located. They cut down the vast forest only to find a greater mine of wealth nnder the tun sled roots of its stump. Grant 'ass also has a goodly number of manufacturing industries, and the dinner pail brigade ia aosoming in dustrial proportions. The city enjoys a prestige as a com mercial and finauoial center, which keep pace with the growth of the oonnlry she serves and whion. In turn, serves her. There are two dis tinct classes of settler in a new country. In tbe Mississippi valley they settle op tbe country, In the Rogue River Valley they settle down in the country. The difference be tween a period of settling op and set tling down is the difference between adventure and development And this spirit ha had much to do with the prosperity and development of Josephine county. From tbe earliest settlement of 8 an them Oregon the Rogue river has been a potent factor in its affair. It is almost oniversally character istic of citiea of Southern Oregon to be so absorbed in the pursuit of wealth as to entirely lose sight of anitary conditions and home com forts. Tbe beautifying of cities of this part of the state ha recently become an interesting ana popular suojeoi. All cities have choloe residence dis tricts, where the homes, lawns and streets are attractive and well kept. but in Grants Pass this condition ex tends over the eutire city, evidencing the fact that prosperity, contentment and love for borne prevail amoug all classes. The city enjoys a splendid retail trade, and this accounts for the finely furnished and well stocked stores. Competition is keen and prices are kept at a minimum. Within a few mile of tbe city are many prosperous fruit farmers and stock raisers, who have grown wealthy, or aoqnlred a oompetencT. yet there are thousands of acres that are practically no touched. As these are cleared up and cultivated, the retail trade will In crease in a corresponding degree. The city of Grants Pass baa not grown one-aided, nor ha any one in teiest been allowed to develop at tbe eipense of another. Public fund have been wisely expended, streets kept in splendid repair, sanitary regu lationa carefully enforoed, every feat are of comfort and cleanliness urged and Insisted upon by tbe health authorities. As a result. Grants Pass is one of the healthiest cities in Or gen. The enthusiasm and straggle for supremacy, which nataraly fol low and belong to tbe development of a resourceful country, were kept on- der control, and the greed fur gain was not allowed to overshadow the higher principles. Edncatioual inter ests were encouraged and Insisted upon, schools were supported, modern houses built as tbe times demanded, the improvement of publio schools kept in harmony with advanced ideals. This sentiment has had its influence on the lives of all classes, and ia evident in business and private I life. Churches of almost every de nomination are indicative of a strong, religious aod moral element. Every class of charities has been 'provided for with system and oar jtainty. i For real company and friendship, there is nothing ootside of tbe animal kingdom that is comparable to a river. It is the most ho man and ; companionable of all the best caie killing scenery in the state. The small streams arn full of brisk trout. A few days spent along its banks will not be takeu from the sum of your life. The laud scales of the river are growiug more beautiful from year to Tear notwithstanding tbe clearing tramling work of civiliza tion. All through this part of Oregon the old ia giving way to the new ; the savage to the civilised; the forest to tbe 01 chard. The dawn of a new day is breaking. The az and saw are intensely busy ; chip are flying thick a snowflakes. The Indian with his stone az could do them no more harm than could the gnawing beaver or browsing moose. But when the steel az of the white man rang out on the startled air their doom waa sealed. Many excellent, practical people, whose everyday life brings them in close touch with the stern realities of the word, have small putieuce with the fisherman, hunter and suchlike free aud easy characters. Postibly those of ns who fish, might be better employed. Certainly we might make more money, but there .is a profit in fiVhiug outside of dollars and cente. It is doubtful if there is any spot In Oregon where the fisher man finds a keen pUasore and as much satisfaction In fishing, as In the neighborhood of Grant Pass. Of course, the front has many at tractions for the fisherman for he ia oanning; he is tricky, he fights by in direction. When yoa catch him, it is because you have caught him Una wares. He knows the spoon book as well as the man who made it, and there 1 no fly made that he does not know from the real article, bat he 1 smbitious and always hopes that be can show you how wise he is, with out danger to himself. And so trout fishing becomes a battle in which strategy is the basis, and tbe one most skilled in cunning comes oat best. But with tbe steelhead salmou it is a battle royal from the start, and oo trickery. Tin heavy artillery come into play at the outaet, and It is al ways a question of ability to fight in tbe open. When hooked, the salmon usually comes to the surface to see what manner of foe he is to battl with. Tbe trout ia crafty and cun ning, bat the salmon is the fighter of the world. He comes for a fight and only for a fight, and having come, he does bis best to make it an interesting one. Incidentally, tbe salmon 1 also one of the most prolific sonroe of in spl ration for breaking the ninth com mandment. Josephine county Is rich in three resources : First in the fruit industry. Second, the lumber industry, Third in mln'ng. Yet the county has many other In dustries, such as general farming, dairying, stock raising, and tbe can nlng of fruit aod vegetables. Of the fruit industrv, the apple easily leads all others, yet there are many carloads of peacbea and pears shipped each year, besides many oar loads of gtapes. At least 500 men are 'employed in the different mines of the county some of these mines have already pro duced over 12,000,000 in gold. As tbe pait which was played by Rogue river in the early development of the valley was of prime importance, so in the more permanent growth of these latter days she is a vital factor. Tbe undeveloped water power of the river is au Inexhaustible mine of wealth which can be drawn open for all time.
