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."

A delegation of lold llill nml en

court Wednesday, and protected
against tho reappointment of William
Van llouton as road supervisor for
that district. No recommendation
wore m:u10 for a successor, und the
county court took no uctloii.
Tho dissatisfaction over Van llou
ton. according to members of the
court centers upon bis refusal to re
hire bis neighbors ho quit county
road work for higher paid employ
ment, und were refused jobs when
they came back. Van Houten Is
classified as an expert and efficient
roodbullder by the court.
The county court Relayed the work
of drawing n jury list for the rotr.m
your, for o week or ten days, owlu to
the amount of detail necessary, vltu
the placing of women on the list. The
law, leaves it optional with the woman
whether she serves or not, but is com
pulsory with tho men. It is held that
the new law increases tho expense
and decreases the efficiency. Two

In tho far east."
"Hero Is nr. official utterance, that

"Mecauso the New Yotk Times was

It calls Article II. of the pew alliance a
