The people of Woodvllle and vicin ity are beginning to sit up and take notice of the fact that they are on the map. School opened January 3 In a fine brick building that has just been completed at a cost of $15,000, and it is said that Grants Pass must erect their new high school building before they will have as good a school building as Woodvllle. The finish ing touches are just being put on the bridge, which is a steel structure and will be a big thing for the town, as now a large share of business which has previously gone to Gold Hill and even Medford, will come to Woodvllle. Messrs. Garner and Sabin have just completed the survey and staking of an addition, containing about 40 acres, and which joins the present town site on the northeast. In this addition Is one main street, 80 feet in width, and another CO feet, and already a number of lots have been contracted for with the purpose of building business houses. Besides they have numerous applica tions for residence lots. These lots are all cleared and lay with a slight southwest slope, there not being a rough or undesirable lot In the whole addition. These lots will be offer ed for sn'o beginning next Tuesday. A bo. fa'tory and planing mill is to be built this spring and together with the clearing of l;;nd and plant ing of fruit 'rees, It docs not take :i very far ".g man to realize that j Woodvllle i i coming town, There ivlll be n grand reduction In the prhc f '-holographs for a few days only a' the Grants Pass Art Studio.
