The stiibborness of a siih-contriii
tor for the contractors doing work on
the Pacific highway in Josephine
county, yesterday afternoon crjat
havoc with the Grants Puss, Califor
nia-Oregon Power eompany feed
wires ami fdutions, the telephone
wires, and set fire to the (limits
Pass telephone exchange. One man
had n narrow escaie from death.
Not only that but it left the city of
Grants Pass without any tiro pro
tcction for three hours. Hundreds
of dollars worth of damage was done,
The California-Oregon Power nun
pany, according to Manager II. T,
Walther, will probably bring action
against the road contractors.
Wlro ltlon-11 V.
At JO p. m. Monday the road eon
tractors working on the Pacific
highway notified the Californiii-Oro
gon Power company that they would
begin blasting at 2 p. m. yesterdry.
Ilowuver an agreement was entered
into to postpone this work until to
day, when the Mwcr company ex
plained that on account of n stress
of work its employes could not be
present Tuesday afternoon.
1 he power eompany teed ivires
runs by the place where the road
work is being done, and always just
before blasting the company shuts off
the power and has a gang of men
ready to make iiamediate repairs in
case the feed wires should be injured
or broken by the concussion.
Hut yesterday the siib-eontrnetor,
in violation of the agreement that
had been entered into, fired off a
blast at 12 o'clock. As a result the
high tension Hiwer wire was broken
two and mixed up with the tel
ephone wires, Hie switch hoard in the
Grants Pass tlcpboiie exchange was
burned out anil the office was set on
fire.
Phono 'Will's Also Huriied.
A telephone test set that was be
ing worked on a telephone line at
Hock Point was also burned up, anil
the man in charge had a narrow
escape hum dentil. He watt ,pist
about to make a coupling and hail he
lone so a secoiid later he would liavo
been instantly electrocuted.
Another result of the broken feed
wire mid the crossed wires was the
burning up of the high tension switch
ut the Gold Ifay power plant. Alto
gether the power eompany suffered
several hundred dollurs of damage.
The telephone and power companies
were put to no end of trouble in re
hiring normal conditions. And
Grants Pass was put to much incon
venience for several hours thru lack
of telephone service and water.
At the time the accident occurred
irrigation in Grants Pass was at its
ight. The water for Grants Pass
pumped from Kogue river, and the
power for the pumping plant is fur
nished bv the California-Oregon
Power company. The accident of
