CHICAGO WOMAN WANTS GRANTS PASS HUSBAND (llEAVY GAIN IX Postmaster Donnell this week re ceived the following letter from a girl In Chicago, who evidently Is anxious to secure a western hero. The letter follows: ; "Postmaster, Grants Pass, Ore. ! "Dear Sir: As postmaster of the :town of Grant Pas, Ore., you will j doubtless be able to give me the In ; formation I desire, which la this: Are there any young men in the town of Grants Pass who are lonesome for the society of a nice, companionable wife? . "If you, by any chance, know of any, put them in communication with me. You think it strange, perhaps, jthat a girl from a big city like Chlc j ago should make such a request. The j truth la this, I prefer a real, live westerner to a ten-lollar-a-week candy kid. If you know of any, kindly put them In communication with me and I will give them any In formation they may desire about me." There now, you "lonesome boy," one fair charmer from the far east has gallantly offered to brighten your lonely pathway through life. Who will be the first to send the glad tidings of acceptance to this shy little young (?) miss. Now, as a matter of fact, Postmaster Donnell has not been able to detect any alarming symptoms of loneliness in the Grants Pass boys. Still, appear ances are often deceptive, and any young man (candy kids excepted) wishing to lay his heart at the feet of the Chicago lady, may receive fur ther Information by sending he a let ter. . i RECEIPTS OF FREIGHT j Freight receipts in Grants Pass for TO CONSTRICT HOTEL OX RIVER RANK E.

These shipments represented all classes of commodities Intended for consumption in Grants Pass and vi cinity, reflecting the increased busi ness due to the growth of the city. This breaks all records of incom ing freight, and of it more than on 3 carload per day, on the average, brings groceries and dry goods. "Grants Pass Is making rapid strides as a distributing center," de clared an official of the Southern Pacific, "and will soon be the metrop olis of southern Oregon indeed." The figures here given are based entirely on the whole car shipments, as It is hard to gauge accurately movement of freight ta tees than carload lots. It is reasonable to be lieve, however, that this class of business has grown in proportion to the carload haul.

CLEMENS "IMPORTS" HEAVY RATTER FROM CENTRAL POINT The Medford Mall Tribune says: "Court Hall will send his baseball team to Grants Pass again Sunday and the boys are determined to win this time. Heavy practice is on the program this week, especially in bat ting, in which department the local players were deficient last Sunday. It is rumored that a heavy hitter from the direction "of Central Point Is to be tried out, but the lineup will probably be the same as formerly. Medford Is believed to have the shade on Grants Pass, and but for a had Inning at the 'first of the game should hav won the Sunday game." When Manager Roper of the Grants Pshs team was shown the above he "Jes laffed." Wed In Grants Pas Thursday, April 20, 1911, Thomas B. Pearson and Miss Julia Anne St. John were married at the heme of Judge Stephen Jewell In this city, Judge Jewell officiating. Both bride and groom are residents of Josephine county. At 6:15 o'clock Saturday a deal was closed and papers signed whereby Metschan brothers of the big Imperial hotel at Portland lease the Josephine hotel from F. H. Blake for 15 years, and agree to enlarge the building and remodel it in such way that when completed It will be one of the most modern hotels in the state. Closing of the deal brought much satisfaction to the few residents of the city who learned of It last night, as the Metschans are the foremost hotel men of the state and among the most prominent on the Pacific coast, and it means that Grants Pass ir to have a large caravansary which will be up to date and commodious. The new lessees will remodel the Interior throughout. Hot and cold water will be Installed, baths will be attached to every other room, steam heat will be used, and in every other regard the hotel will be sparkling new. The ground on which the building stands measures 75 by 180 feet, but the present building only occupies 60 by 100 feet, The additional 25 feet on the north will be used In the new plans, making a building' with 75 feet frontage, and it is theexpecta tion to extend the rear 25 feet far ther. Edward I Ister, the present lessee, will close the hotel May 1, move his furniture, and workmen will begin the. same day to rebuild the Josephine and rush It to completion, as great need now exists In Grants Pass for hotel accommodation. A hotel company Is to be organized to take over the lease and of this company the Metschan brothers will own the majority of the stock. Grants Pass business men will ovn the re mainder and It Is a happy fact that the home subscription was all made In eight hours from the time the mat ter was put before the business men. The Portland men were brought to Grants Pass by and the deal closed through George II. Durham and J. R. Harvey. Naturally these two gentle- a number of row boats and gasoline launches. He will also keep for hire fish poles and lines for the use of those who desire them. This is the beginning of an Im portant undertaking which is to end in the large hotel on the bank of the river for the accommodation of tour ists and home people who enjoy fish ing, boating and bathing. One of the features of this hotel will be that all who desire may get fish dinners cn short nottce and it is the purpose cf Mr. McCormick, who is a hotel roan of experience, to have an estab lishemnt, which will be popular with thope who visit the park or care to enjoy their dinner wtth' friends by the riverside. , So far the work undertaken is only temporary, but in another year the hotel project will bo in evidence. The parties aisoclated with E. J. McCormick in this undertaking be long In the interior of Alaska. They consist of his two sons-in-law, who are now in the interior of Alaska. These two gentlemen and their wives accompanied Mr. McCormick to Alaska when the great strike was made in the north in 1897 and have remained there.. The last named gentleman was obliged to leave that country last year on account of his health. The Alaska parties have large holdings there which will be closed out this summer and the whole party will start for Grants Pass on one of the last boats of the season, and then the hotel proposition will be pushed vigorously. This city has need of Just such an enterprise as these people propose to establish. This Is making use of the river, one of the most valuable assets of this city.
