beginning or the fiscal year for the
local wstorficc, the Medford office will
become first class jiostof fice. De
spite the Increase in business the local
postoffice force has not been increas
ed. The employes number 20.
Mr. Newbury highly complimented
Postmaster, Will Warner on his man
agement of the local office and spoke
of the good work doue by the em
ployes under him and the active, will
ins -spirit with which it Is 'done. He
staffed 'that every department in the
local office shows a steady increase in
business.
This state of affairs is encouraging
and show 8 that the condition of busi
ness of ail sorts in the vslley is Con'
tinually improving. The postoffice is
one of the best measures of prosperity
of a community,
When Mr. Newbury had terminated
his address H. I. Walther rose, and
made a .short talk in which he express
ed his appreciation to Mr. Warner for
the securing with so little delay the
recently Instituted closed pouch ser
vice between this city and San Fran
cisco on train No. 53. This service
was requested by the California-Ore
gon Power company when that con
cern installed Its home office in Med
ford and was in operation three weeks
after the request bad been made. A
motion was made by Mr. Walther and
passed by the forum pledging the co
operation of the chamber of commerce
to the local postal authorities.
A five minute siteech by D. Kather-
ine Rogers, a Y. W. C. A. secretary
from New York, outlining the work of
the Y. W. C. A. in general and In Med
ford in particular and requesting the
support of l'cal iieople for the local
chapter or the Y. W. C. A., was made.
Miss Rogers explained tho value of the
Y in training young girls for future
citizenship. aBd explained also the
work being done in foreign countries.
Song Leader Millard was not pres
ent at the meeting but several songs
were capably conducted by Secretary
Frohbach. - ' . . '
"Before adjournment. Chairman' Will
Warner Informed the people that a
star route postril service was proposed
between this city and Klamath Falls
and that it would most likely go Into
effect In the near future thereby flitn
innfinir Hie. delay In ricllvcrv between
tho two cities and cutting -dawn the
time for a round trip by 48 hours.
also'cmphasized the point brought out
by Mr. Newbury that the postal ser
vice Is a public service and that any
suggestions as to how It may be im
proved will be gratefully accepted as
the postal department is continually
working toward higher efficiency
The iiiiK)rtance of mailing all letters
possible in the forenoon was Impressed
on the assembly. This is absolutely
necessary. to maintain efficiency and
accuracy without an increased force
as great congestion takes place in the
office every day between the hours of
4 and 5 p. m. when about 80 per Cent
of the days mail comes In. The public
is requested to give this matter eon
sldcrHtion and supiKirtho local office
to the fullest extent.

ANTI-KLAN ORDINANCE PASSED
(Continued from Page One)
precipitated a row: "Any official
who belongs to the Klan ought to be
Investigated." ' -
Mayor Gates tersely replied: "Any
time I can't be fair as mayor and In
vestigate anything, I am ready to
resign." . 1 , .
Dr. Keene, then went on with bis
denunciation ot the Klau organiza
tion and principles, etc., and its dan
ger to the public welfare, as be view
ed it, and of bow such an organiza
tion should be exterminated.
He explained afterwards that when
he made the comment which drew
forth tho above reply from Mayor
time, und under which Die lust prose
cution was brought In IS9. "The
government la proceeding slow but

slow hut exceedingly riue,"

Councilman Keene mado several
speeches denouncing (ho Ku Klu

any organisation that wore masks and
worked In tho dark trying to usurp
tlmf unctions of tho regular luw and
order processes.
"1 was horn nnd raised In Oregon,"
ho said, "and up to the time this

Ideal Ku Klux Klan Is the very worst
thing that has ever happened In the
city's history'. It must Im stamped
