Half Price Clean-up Sale -i POLITICS ARE LOOKING UP. Political bees are beginning to buzz in the bonnets of some of Jackson County’s citizens in preparation for the approaching primary. It is stated that several persons have announced their intention to become candidates and several others are said to be seriously considering their chances of nomination. So far the office of sheriff seems the most attractive; among those mentioned as probable candidates for this position are E. W. Wilson, the present chief deputy; W.T. Grieve, present County Assessor; A. W. Walker, auto deal er of Medford; and Pat Mego, of the Medford police force. As probable candidates for County Clerk we hear mentioned the names of G. A. Gardner, present incum bent, and Miss M. B. Towne, former deputy clerk. For Assessor, E. M. Wilson, Pat II. Dailey and Mar tin McDonough, all of Medford are mentioned as likely to be candidates. E. E. Kelly, present incumbent. G. M. Roberts, and Fred Mears of Medford, and E.D. Briggs of Ashland, are spoken of as likely to try the race for County Attorney. For County Commissioner, F. D. Medynski, of Med ford bonding fame, and Col. II. H. Sargent of this city, have been mentioned as possible candidates. Anyway it is early yet and the next month or two will likely bring out numbers who will be willing to serve the dear people. LETTER WEEK N e XT week, beginning Monday his been designated a« ‘‘Letter Week” for residents of Oregon, a id m nt of our exchanges have insisceil that their readers write letters to friends in the east a id else vhere s itting out the a I- vantages, etc. of Oregon, with a view to increase the travel of tourists and prospective settlers. While the motive is praiseworthy and may result in some benefit to the state at large it seem« to us that the readers of the Post who live in this city and in fact in the county, can do much m >re good by each and everyone writing a personal letter to Julge To iVelle and Con* ni si mere Leev r and Madden, setting out in plain term« the neei of improving the Jacksonville Melfo-l r i.id and asking that steps be until • di stely taken f >r the liar I s i facing o the same.

Cotton Is usually differentiated In or dlnary classification by the length of Its staple. "Ordinary cotton" in the (Tilted States Is of several kinds, chief among then) the upland cotton, with a staple of from seven eighths to one Inch In length, and gulf of Texas cot ton. of which the staple is not usual ly quite so long Th«* longest stapled cottons among the "ordinary cottons’ here are the bottom land or bender cotton, with a staple of from one and one-eU'lith to one and otie fourth inch at «l the special fatl< y staple cotton, one and lilt bO-eigliths to one and live eighths inch in length The sea island cotton, which Is grown on the sea is lands off tbe const of South Carolina, lias a staple of from one and a half to two and a half inches, the average length being one and three-fourths. Egyptian cotton is being grown 111 southern California. New Mexico and Arizona. Its staple is not so long as the sea Island cotton, tint compares rather with tbe upland cotton here. Japanese Houses. A number of causes have affected th«* size of the Japanese house, which seems much too small for n comforta ble habitation in the eyes of the for eigner. In the first place, the people themselves are small, the average height of the Japanese male adult be ing five feet three and one-half inches and that of the female four feet uine SURVIVOR TELLS OF MÍX/- ami one half inches.
