r. N. and other Hartman lines.
Mr.. Moon is chief clerk under Re-
naldo Hall head of the department,
and the close attention and long
hours that he frequently gave to his
work affected his eyes and he took a
lay off and came to Grants Pass to
have DR.. Findley treat them. So sue
cessful wss the Doctor that Mr.. Moon
has regained the full strength of his
eyes and goes to again take up his work.
Mr. Moon is one of the brightest and
most energetic young men that
Grants Pass has sent out and his
very creditsble position with the
railroad company is position that
he has won by his industry and
worth. That he will win other pro-
motions is the predictions of his
many friends in this city, who expect
that he will yet get well up in the
line of railroad work.
