. 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.
