I SECRETARY COMMERCIAL CLUB MAKES REPORT j Scireu.-y W. P. Quinlaa of tbe s Commercial club submitted the fol- j lowing n.onth!y report Monday even- in at tte meeting of the dub: S:m the lust regular meeting of tbe dub your board of trustees nas , lurt uti ti e oicrtsions, three of whkh wtre 1jt the purpose of considering a spe. Ul matter, w hi b, if carried to completion, will mean much to G.a:r.s P;us ami JuoeLihir.e (ounty. It was hoped some definite into. IiiatiOU ho'ild giveu out by this time cou- truing the matter, but in the ii:ter- e' ul all it is thought best to delay 'pub'itity until such time as to leave, i.u d iubt of the merit of the euter I . prii?. i now an assured fact that wa- i t r tor irrig:it:i.n purposes will be! 'available this week, to the extent of; the present ditches on this side of : the river; and It Is promised that the t ;p: s will be connected and the ditch i a:it-d in time to supply water to tl.e I Fruitdale ditch by the first of the 1 'month. "It la also learned that many of , the land owners are arranging to se cure electric power from the local power company's line whic h is being extended down the river road, with the inten'ion of pumping from the riwr. This will no doubt result In a large Increase in the amount of gard en truck for the local market. Some apprehension Is felt among growers to the effect that they may not be able to dispose of produce to local deal ers In a satisfactory manner. Grange officers nave taken the matter up with their members and are urging them to systematize their packages and standardize the product and de liver In neat packages, as their com petitors do in well organized dis tricts with whom they naturally will have to compete. The officers re port meeting with success in their ef forts, and if this Is done It is reason able to suppose the dealers will glad ly support the local men to the ex 'luslon of the shipped In produce, making this a Grants Pass market for Grants Pass grown products. '"If more of the spirit of 'Grants Pass products for Grants Pass' were shown, the contract for the construc tion of tlie proposed new city hall would not call for the use of brick manufactured In Portland, or any other outside point; nor would rep resentatives of material manufactur ed at outside points, who were here trying to discredit the material man ufactured by the local company, with which they were in competition, be shown the courtesies and given the support of the city's representa tives, while, the ocal plant and in vestment are Idle. "If we are to be successful in se curing other manufacturing plants in competition with other towns in the valley, which are making every effort and offering every Inducement to se cure them, we should show our loy alty to those already here; and it seems that the present tlftie is oppor tune for action along the line of de termining the kind of plants most likely to do well here, and of e. curing for new ones and thnse al ready here the united support of all if we expect to get the pay roll so much needed. "That Grant-; Pass is be dining wide and favorably known is shown by requests for Information that con tinue to come from distant lands. Turkey, the Philippines. Cuba and Alaska being among the many dur ing the past month. "That conditions are improving in this part of the valley is show,, s.j numerous deals ilosed in the :n--few weeks, and the pre.-eiue ,,; many mining men who have reret.'.-.
