PROFITS OF PAST YEAR PAY FOR BUILDING

Plant Deferred for the Present
Warehouse to Bo Located
t'a Town.
The Grape Growers' Shipping association
of this city will erect a warehouse for lis
own use. This was decided upon at a meet
ing of the association yesterday and the
building will be constructed according to
plans already drawn. A building associa
tion will be organized this week among the
members of the organization.
The association for the last three ycara
has been talking of erecting a building, but
the matter hung; Are until this season,
which proved an unusually profitable one.
At the meeting yeaterday It was decided
to utilize the profit a of the season in erect
ing a building Instead of paying them out
as dividends to the members. In place of
dividends the profits will be distributed
among the members aa stock In the build
ing association.
The proposed building will cost 14,000, and
will be 50x36 feet, consulting of two stories
and basement, and will be devoted exclu
sively to the needs of the association. In
the building will be the necessary offices,
receiving room, storage and warehouse.
The location of the proposed building hna
not yet been decided upon. At first it was
suggested that the building be erected In
close proximity to the canning factory
which the association will erect on South
Third street on trackage of the Great West
ern railroad, but at yesterday's meeting It
was decided that this location waa too far
down town, and some other site will be se
lected convenient to trackage.
The Grape Growers' association has had
under advisement for some time the ques
tion of establishing- In connection with Its
warehouse a cold storage plant, but yester
day it waa decided that the time was not
opportune to Invest the money in such an
enterprise. If a cold storage plant is es
tablished it will be entirely Independent
of the association's warehouse.

DOCTORS MAY ESTABLISH HOSPITAL
Capitalist Ready to Pnt Ip Building;
at Moderate Rental.
Being not altogether satisflud with the
management of the two present hospitals,
the physicians of this city are seriously
considering the advisability of erecting (in
Independent hospital which will be under
their management exclusively. A meeting
to discuss this question was held last even
ing at which there was a large and repre
sentative attendance of the local mem
bers of the profession.
The physicians in attendance at the meet
ing were not inclined to say much about
the question which brought them together,
but admitted it was for the purpose of
discussing the advisability and feasibility
of establishing an entirely Independent hos
pital to be under their exclusive control
and management.
U was stated that a well-known capitalist
and a contractor had made a proposition
to the physicians to erect a hospital build
ing at a cost of between $50,000 and 100,000
at a rental which would return a fair rate
of Interest on the Investment. This was
the proposition which the doctors dis
cussed at the meeting last evening, which
waa presided over by Mayor Macrae. If
was said that while no formal action was
taken the proposition met with considerable
favor among the physicians present and
that another meeting to further consider
the matter will be held In the near future.
