What Kind of a Place Would Med ford Be If Everyone Here Were Just Like You? "While traveling around In t man's pocket today," said Bill Do! l&r, "I heard my owner ay, 'What kind of a place would Hertford bo If everyone hero were like you? Your suit Is from Portland and your haf Is from San Francisco, and I'll bet everything cIho you have on comes from, out of town.

' The court ngreed to visit th property in the near fuunu nnd t Ijeii eive a decision on the plea fur a slash in valuation and back tuxes. The meat of Hates' plea was that he wanted the land os bosscd us farm land instead of mining property. Miss Eininu Heed of Jackson ville, living on the finch road near the city limits, requeued the county-court to build a wulk aUnmslde the highway, as the precent cover ing gravel was "wearing out shoes of pedestrians."
