VISITS (HUNTS PASS
AFTER ."W YEARS
M. J. Luark, the pioneer stage
driver through the Rogue River val
ley, is In the city taking a look at
the country through which he car
ried the mall In 1858, or 55 year
ago. Mr. Luark was only a young
man those days, and has interesting
tales to tell of the pioneer times, as
well ns of his experiences since. His
route was between Oakland, Oregon
and Yrekn, California, and he drove
a two-horse wagon from Oakland
to Grants Pass, nnd from here con
tinued on with pack horses, the wag
on road ending at this point. The
Grants Pass of that time, however,
was located -(somewhat further up
tho river than It Is at the present
time.
Since leaving southern Oregon in
1859, Mr. Luark has been In Call
fornia, and for many years has been
a well known citizen of Chehalis
county, Washington, his home being
at Moptesano. Since his experience
in carrying mail through the embryo
Grants Pass, he has been prospector
and mining man, newspaper man,
county sheriff and assessor, and In
his later years an active preacher of
the Congregational church, though
now retired. IIo will visit at Selma
for a few days, but will go to Wat
sonvuip, uai., in time to nang up
his sock at the fireside of his broth
er's household.
This Is the first time Mr. Luark
has stopped off In Grants Pass since
he left It In 1S59.
