Every present indication points to an

The completion of the water system,

Mr. Cowley also promises to bring a

vest money, build homes, engage ir

Other indications of what the imme­

Hathaway Place
Reported Sold.
S. F. Hathaway reported yesterday
that he had been advised by his agent
in Medford that his place, two miles
north of town and near the Hunt Lewis
orchard, had been sold for $12,IKK). The
name of the purchaser was not learned.
The place contains 20 acres and is
most y set to young trees. Mr. Hatha­
way bargained the place about a year
ago for $7000 and received a paymant
but the p u r c h a s e r failed to come
through with the balance and the place
reverted to Mr. Hathaway to his profit
to the tune of $5000. That’s the way
land values are going around Central
