Delivery of Paper Halted
Because of Slides, Water
An attempt to "deliver the
Medford Mail Tribune to Jose
phine county residents failed
yesterday afternoon when a
slide blocked Highway 238, re
ported open, at Jacksonville.
A car carrying the papers left
the Tribune plant about 2:30
p.m. yesterday and made its way
with difficulty, as far as Apple
gate. Water pouring from a bro
ken irrigation ditch there, which
had closed the highway earlier
in the day, caused several trees
to slide into the road and piled
dirt behind them. . '
Later Attempt
A later attempt to deliver pa
pers by way of Highway 99
north was halted by Civil De
fense workers at Rogue River.
All ether routes to the north
were also closed.-
The Applegate ' route" to
Grants Pass was open - for a
short time yesterday afternoon
and the highway, ordinarily not
a heavy ' traffic, artery, was
crowded with., cars attempting
to avoid flooded areas.
A Pacific Telephone and Tele
graph company power wagon
attempted to clear the slide
blocking- the road at Applegate
by attaching cables to the trees.
More than 40 cars, from ; sev
eral states of the union, parked
on the bridge and in the little
community, for about two hours,
