Members of the court realized with alarm recently that there was no county listing in the new Medford area phone books.

Many calls have been erroneously placed to other county offices, especially to the district court. Nylon first went into limited production in 1939. ToniTE!nniii'Hr and Saturday!

Mr. and Mrs. Nate Edwards, Baseball More Popular in NW Than in Big California Cities By HAL WOOD San Francisco (U.R) The best baseball town on the West Coast is Seattle so why are the other cities in the Pacific Coast league worrying about the possibility of San Francisco or Los Angeles getting a major league fran chise? Not only that, baseball ap pears to be more popular right now in the Northwest than it is in the state of California. For instance: Portland led the PCL in at tendance last year with 380,729 Twink Pederson Circuit Leader Corvallis (U.R) Rain Thurs day forced cancellation of the scheduled Northern Division baseball game between Oregon State and Idaho. Seattle (U.R) Shortstop Twink Pederson and third base man Tom Bowen of Oregon State are leading the Northern Divis ion baseball hitting race with .500 marks. Steve Hickley of Idaho is next in line with .429 and Terry Mad dox of Oregon has'. 412. Oregon State as a team Is hit tine -309. Twelve -players are tied for the home run lead one each. customers Seattle led the loop in 1955 with 342,101. And chances are that either Portland or Seattle will lead again this year depending upon what kind of ball clubs they develop. In day-night double header .openings, Seattle drew 18,000 and Portland 25,000. Shucks, it takes two weeks of continuous play for the San Francisco Seals, Los Angeles An gels or Hollywood Stars to draw that kind of an attendance. . Mounties, Too Additionally, another North west team, the Vancouver, B.C. Mounties, drew more than 10, 000 for their opening game. The surprising thing about the big Portland attendance was the fact that the club was on a nine game losing streak, had been in or near the basement since open ing day and had lost its man ager, the late Bill Sweeney. But the fans turned out for 100 per cent support. , . ' A club representing Los An geles -or San Francisco in the PCL and coming home with a nine-game losing streak and in last place, wouldn't attract enough attention to cause even a minor traffic jam.- It is possible that the fans in the two big cities have reached the point where they want ma jor league ball or nothing. From Idaho who have been touring Europe are expected back on May 25 after visiting in Northern Italy, Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Mr. and Mrs. Leon Close of Medford spent the weekend of April 27 at "Harding's Para dise." Leon got his limit on the opening day of trout season.
