MEASLES, SCARLET
FEVER REPORTED
Mr. O. H. Miller and Mrs. Delta
Fabian of Washington, this week
bought a small tract of land from
Soren Christenson located on the
tyest edge of his ranch just this
side of Ihe Sardine Creek bridge
Mr. Miller ami Mrs. Fabian plan to
build a service station, confection­
ery, cabins and camp ground on the
property.
At present they are building a
cabin for their home. They will do
most of the work themselves and
plan to be ready for business be­
fore early summer.
Mr. Miller states that he has trav­
eled over much of Ihe United States
and had thought that he would lo­
cate in California. However, in
driving through from Washington,
he was attracted to this locality, and
although he toured northern Cali­
fornia, the Gold Hill site seemed
most satisfactory, and he returned
here to settle.
While a number of localities in
Ihe county have reported cases of
infantile paralysis, Ihe Gold Hill
community is so far fortunate in es­
caping the disease.
