Six Years.

J. P. Pollard an old timer in this
county seems to be having more than
his share Of bodily ills and is now
confiued to his bed the greater part Of
the time, although at times he can
hobble around on crutches, or wheel
himself about a bit in wheel chair.
HIS troubles commenced about six
years ago when he fell from a tri.
cycle and injured his back. For a
number of months he was confined to
his bed and was able to move himself
only by grasping rope hung from
the ceiling apd holding up his weight
by his hands. a couple Of years later
when he had partially recovered he
scalded his foot badly by tipping over
skillet full of boiling water while
repairing his lonely meal. This ac.
cidont laid him upfor a long time and
IN fact he has never recovered as
bis present illness is due TO uloera-
tions dating from the time Of the
| scalding.
Mr.. Pollard Is an old man having
passed his 53d birthday last Septem.
Der and lives near Wolf Creek. He
is being cared for by ]. II. Manning.
He is an old miner having mined in
this country for years and until his
accident six years ago.

An p-To-Date Office.

w. b. Sherman, the timber man,
now has one of the most conveniently
arranged and finely fitted offices in
Southern Oregon. The suite consists
of three rooms in the Masonic temple
with rooms II and 10 opening on the
hall. No, II is the public entrance
and is furnished with oak furniture and
fitted up for the general office. Open-
ing from this is the private office
which is furnished in oak and leather.
From this, and opening onto the hall
is a public stenographer's room. The
rooms are nicely arranged and are a
credit to the town.
Mr.. Sherman has a splendid collect
ion of antlers and hunting scenes
which are of interest to all lovers OF
sport.
Mr.. Sherman is the first to intro.
duce into Grants Pass u commercial
phonograph to which he dictates all
correspondence The typewriter re-
ceives the dictation from the ma
chine, thus doing away with the me-
cessity of the short hand system. The
machine is always ready to receive
messages and is absolutely correct.
Mr.. Sherman says II is great help tc
him in his extensive correspondence,
and saves half the time of type

\ HEAVY RAIN STORM
Hish Water. WNshouts. Land
slides and Delayed Trains.

The rain storm of the first part of
this week, has been by far the greatest
Of the winter and will bear compari-
son even with the phenomenal storm
of last year. For a week past it had
been raining intermittently with oc-
casional light shifts of snow which
melted as it fell. With the ground
thoroughly soaked and water standing
on the surface, the elements on Satur-
day night started in to demonstrate
real old Oregon rain. All day Sun
day and Sunday night, the rain pour
ed and on Monday every trench and
gutter was running full of water and
the smaller streams were approaching
their record height. A big Volume of
water was rolling in Rogue river, but
that stream did not reach a height to
be considered worthy of notice by
those who have seen it really in flood.
The rain continued with little
abatement all day Monday, bat ceased
in the evening. There was little
wind and the air was warm and mild.
Considerable damage was occasioned
along the line of the S. P. Co. by
slides and washouts. The railroad
bridge across Jump-of-Joe creek at
Merlin WAS partially washed out and
badly damaged Sunday night and a
long stretch of track VISA submerged.
The high water seriously interfered
with the repair work and little could
be done until the rain ceased and the
water receded. 1t was not until
Tuesday morning that the repairs on
bridge and road bed were completed
sufficiently to allow the passage of
trains. Passenger train No. l2, north
bound lay in Grants Pass from $3.50
a. m. Monday until 7 80 a. m. Tues
day, while No. 10, south hound, wait
ed just beyond Merlin from Monday
forenoon till Tuesday morning. A slide
between Siskiyou ana Ashland delay
ed the O'Clock Monday evening
passenger train 16 hours. Trouble
some slides occurred in the Cow creek
canyon and at other points along the
line sand the saturated condition OF
the ground has been making it an ex'
ceptionally troublous time for the S.
p. trackmen.
Landslides south Of Ashland have
cut Off all north bound trains since
Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday q
train was made up at Ashland to rur
to Portland Up to the time Of goinl
to press there was no information al
to when the blockade would be brok

STAGE Travel Delayed.

The Crescent City route stage
schedule has been seriously interfered
with the past week on account of the
continued rains. The stage leaving
here Monday morning proceeded only
as far as Wilderville and then had to
turn back, being unable to cross Slate
creek and the stage from Waldo was
unable to cross Deer creek at Selma.
Passengers for the stage are taken
only as far as Waldo, but the stage
goes to the foot of the mountain.
From there the mail is taken on horse
back over the he mountains. The
snow for some time past has been
about seven feet deep ON the mountain
and all who Of necessity have to make
the trip to or from Crescent City arc
obliged to travel on horseback.
The williams stage has been con-
siderably troubled also with high
water.
