MONO COUNTY
UNIQUE PLACE
BY RONALD w. WAGNER
United Press Staff Correspondent

BRIDGEPORT, Calf, Aug. 22.-
Mono county. a long narrow stretch
of mountain and range country or
the eastern slope of the Sierra Ne
vada mountains, may fairly lay
claim to the title of CALIFORNIA;
most unusual county.
On vacation in the isolated cat
tie country, famous for its snow
capped mountains, lakes and
streams, a United Press writer COL
lected the following data during a
brief survey:
Mono county has no preacher
and the gospel is heard as pub
lie ceremony only when some wan
dering minister happens along.
Bridgeport, the county seat, is 60
miles from the nearest railroad al
Minden, New
The county has a tax rate of 81
per 500, the lowest in California.
Tax delinquency is only OF of l
per cent.
Only one neWSpaper-a weekly
is published in the county, although
there is a territory Of 2796 square
miles or 1,789 .440 acres.
Residents have no fear Of bank
failures because there has been no
bank in Mono county for 80 years.
Banking business is conducted by
mail with institutions in Reno, San
Francisco, Minden or Sacramento.
Gen. John Fremont is credited
with opening the vast territory to
colonization by his famous cXplora-
tons OF 1914.
Dances in Bridgeport and other
ccntcrs of population last until 4
a. m, much TO the CONSERVATION
of city visitors who desire to play
cowboy on the morrow.
A young man who hopes to be a
college runner never had heard OF
Ben Eastman, Stanfords famous
quarter-miler.
Another young man never had
heard of Bebe Daniels, the film
star, but may be excused for this
because there is not a movie thea
ire in the entire county.
Although isolated as lar dS Idll-
roads are concerned, Mono county
is rapidly assuming Importance as
vacationing center due to excel
lent mountain roads constructed by
the state.
Cowboys in the Bridgeport valley
are very courteous and appear gen.
timely sorry when they diScove-'
they have placed a dude on a
half-tamed bronCho.
The fourth generation now is liv-
ing on the Circle H ranch of Stan
ley Hunewill, a 3200-acre establish
ment founded by theoriginal Hume

cowboy artist and writer, was once

srnugly this week as the Angels. cut

Indians at Seattle with the excel
lent prospect Of increasing their
hold on first place.
Sacramento, which had a death
grip on the top rung for many
weeks, didn u do so well against the
Angels last week, losing five games

Despite illness and injuries, man.

closely punched that the result can
not be forecast.
Sacramento will play the Mission
Reds in San Francisco this week;
San Francisco S Seals will be at
Portland; and Oakland plays Hol-
1yWood at Los Angeles.
A league development of the week
was Spencer Abbott IS announcement
