U. oí O. Library, DOING The TOWN Miner $3.01) per year 3.00 PER YEAR Excerpt from the Medford Mail Tribune: "Attorney Wi i l i a rn Briggs, Ashland, who volunteered his services, withdrew as counsel (or Donald llullticck upon discov ery thiit his client hud stolen more than $200 worth of goods from him. Lust Sunday, attorney Briggs decided to go horseback riding and to weur u pair of fan cy chaps for the first time. When he went to get them, the chaps were missing Suspecting his client, Ihtggs culled the county jail llallbeck admitted the theft and told where he sold the chaps." Sometimes you can't even trust your own clients. Herb Kischborn, city council man has recommended that $313,- 300 be spent to clean up the wat er. It's going to take $13,300 to eleun It up and then the citizens are going to vote on whether or not they want to spend an ad ditional $300,000 to get more water. The theory evidently is that after the voters get a taste of good water they'll probably want more and will most likely vote "yea," on the proposition. —.-----— —.----------- YMCA Training Conference Will Be Held Dec. 14 Christmas Saals *74« Sauihesui. dfioatm Form erly the Southern Oregon NEWS REVIEW MERRY CHRISTMAS . . .
