BOGGS JUSTICE
Tho Christmas business of the Med
ford postofflce, especially in tho mat
ter of reeelptB of parcels and letters
and cards, breaks all records hereto
fore In the history of the city, and
notwithstanding: the fact that the
postofflce this morning was fairly
jammed with all kinds of packages
frnm every part of the United States
and some foreign countries, after hav
ing cleared by deliveries yesterday a
similar congestion tn the office, with
another heavy deluge cpming today,
nit Christmas Packages nnil lntters
will have been delivered by tomorrow . 11,9 peace has just been made by

Squire Boggs and Judge Gaddis will
probably figure in the local court news
much from now on, at least until
Judge Glenn O. Taylor returns from
his holidays vacation in California, as
the above mentioned men will look at'
ter his duties as justice of the peace
and judge of the city police court. -
At the request of Assistant District
Attorney Gaylord, the appointment of
O. C. Boggs as temporary justice of
nnd rest up until Wednesday morn
lg.-
Outside of registered mail 118 sacks
of Christmas parcels and other mail
nrrlvfcd during Sunday, about the
same number of sacks arrived during
Saturday, and a still larger quantity
arrived during Friday, while heavy
(Itiantities had been arriving all week.
The entire postofflce stuff haB been
working from 16, 18 to 20 hours daily
for almost a week, and if necessary
will work all night and tomorrow to
get all the Christmas stuff delivered.
Three auto trucks fully manned
with workers labored Sunday getting I
mail delivered, and today these trucks
with additional ones and workers
were busy on the same errand. Today
several rural delivery carriers of the
postofflce were also pressed into ser
vice to help out with city deliveries,
and other additional men were also
engaged in this work. Postmaster
Warner and his eon Gordon even
labored on one of the delivery trucks.
Assistant Postmaster Cliff Beckett
with other help hns been working
ufitil midnight daily .in receiving and
sorting mall. ' '
The local American Express office
nlco reports having had its biggest
known business here, but expected to
have all Christmas parcels delivered
by tomorrow noon. ;
Mayor E. C. Gaddis, after ponder
ing long, while he smoked several
Christmas cigars last night and this
forenoon, thought of a suitable ap
pointment for temporary judge of the
city court. Finally the Idea hit him
bard, simultaneously with the resolve
to smoke no more Christmas present
cigars, to appoint himself to the job,
This idea made a hit with him the
longer he thought It over, hence the
Introduction of Judge Gaddis, who will
sit on the case of a drunk arrested last
night, some time this afternoon, unless
the accused man is able to stand.

The company which Madame Anna
Pavlowa will bring with her to Med-
ford is the largest she has ever offered
to the public. The ballet was trained
by Madame Pavlowa and its dancing
is a tribute to that fact. Pavlowa
! opened her New York engagement
! early in October and in reviewing her
the New York Times sold: "If any
I thing, she was greater than ever. Or,
probably her company of contribut
