Newspaper Page Text( MEDFORD MATT, TRIBUTE. MTIDFCRD, OREflOX, THURSDAY. .TAXrARY' , 1022 mm BREAKS p. FOR YEAR 1921 Evldonce o5 Mcdfcrd's continued prosperity and gradual Increasing consiBtrnt growth of postoffice re ceipts U shown hy the fact that tho Medford postoffice is now in the first class of post offices, having none over $4,000 above the requirements in postal re ceipts, or 10 pec cent. The classl-i ftcatlon Is based on the receipts of tho calendar year, although the offi cial change from the Rocoud class to first class will not take place until July 1st, at the close of the fiscal year. Mdford's healthy financial condi tion in reflected unmistakably In the postoffice receipts in recent years. They have shown a steady consistent gain of about 20 per cent during the past year, gcing stronger the last of the quarter than the beginning of the quarter, over tho corresponding quarter of last year. There was a 24 per cent increase during the past quarter over tho quarter of a year go, and 25 per cent increase in December over the sumo month last year.. lu fact it was the largest Christmas business last month in the history ot the Modford postoffice. There has been a gradual increase in postal receipts, since 1917. Po3tmaster AVarner confidently states that the potuI receipts will contlnuo to Increas?. The recent lo cating hero of the general offices of j the California-OrcRon Power com pany from San Francisco, and pros pects that the big new saw mill and lumber plant of tio Erownlee com pany will begin operating within the next year, together with other indi cations, insure3 increasing postal re ceipts. Mr. Warner says. Not only that, but the local post office is getting more Inquiries from prospective locators In .Medford from all parts of the I'nited States, than ever before in the city's history even In the boom days which reached tho zenith in 1910. SAW MAJOR KILL DOUGHBOY (CoatinuaJ from Page One) saw a serseant whiie drunk kill a pris oner fcr asking for a slice of bread. The sergeant, he added, was not CDurt martialed as far as he knew. John Fitzgerald of Pennsylvania who was locked up for being drunk, was named by Duner as the prisoner killed. Duner also gave the names of wit nesses, saying 150 negroes and 240 white im n were present. "We-were going to mob the sergeant but there were too many automatics," he continued. "Later the colonel, a big Pollock, came up in his limousine and asked if anybody there saw the shooting. Seven' of us stepped forward and they put us right away in solitary on bread and water." Duner, a tall fair-haired chap, gave the committeo a refreshing touch of comedy In describing some of the hardships at a Coblenz prison. "They bad a lieutenant, a regular snowbird all lit up," ho said. "He used to come back from Italy, where he went for his dope, then he would stand up and say, 'boys, I am glad to see you.' I guess he was for he got ' us out at midnight for insicction." V. K. Ik-bt C ut I80 OOO.OOO. , WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. A riduc-- tlon of the public dtibt of more than $180,000,000 during.
