WILL BUILD FINE AUTO GARAGE
 
ONTARIO MAN WILL MAKE A $10,000 INVESTMENT IN PAYETTE PROPERTY
 
Payette's building boom was given a new impetus by the announcement Saturday 
evening that L. Adams of Ontario, Ore., had closed a deal for two lots on 
Eighth street upon which to build a fine auto garage.  The site is the 60 feet 
adjoining the corner of the block opposite the Gorham Mercantile Company's 
building.  One of the lots was secured through an exchange of lots by Mr. 
Adams with Henry Feldscher, the other one being that donated by H. E. Dunn to 
the citizens' committee which had in charge the matter of raising  funds with 
which to purchase the site for the $50,000 hotel building which is now being 
erected by Mr. Dunn and his associates.
 
The garage building is to cover 60 x 140 feet, is to be of brick, with pressed 
brick and plate glass front and will be modern in every particular.  It will 
be equipped with a steam heating plant, cold and hot water, drop pits and 
electric lifts and all other conveniences to be found in connection with a 
first class building of its character.  The cost of the building will be about 
$7.000, while Mr. Adams' total investment will exceed $10,000.
 
W. H. Huff, the well-known Payette contractor, who will have charge of the 
work, is already engaged in moving the big warehouse with its contents 
belonging to J. A Lauer & Bro., to the Feldscher lot immediately north of the 
Payette Townsite Company's building, and construction of the new garage 
building will immediately follow the clearing of the grounds.
 
The building will be occupied by Messrs. Dufeur & Walling, of Ontario, who 
have the reputation of being not only men of large experience in their line, 
as salesmen and managers, but expert mechanics who know the business 
thoroughly in its every detail.
 
It is expected to have the building completed ready for occupancy within 60 
days.
 
Mr. Adams was until recently, one of the largest lumber dealers of this 
section, being at the head of the Empire Lumber company, which made a sale of 
its years at Payette, Ontario, Nyssa and Vale last January to the Boise-
Payette Lumber company.  He was formerly a resident of Payette and while for 
several years past his main interests have been at Ontario and elsewhere, he 
has always kept in close touch with the growth and development of this city 
and the surrounding country and has had an abiding faith in their future.
