MM CITY'S POSTOFFICE Postmaster Prank DeSouza and As sistant Postmaster Rollte Beach en tertained the members of the Med ford Rotary club at a luncheon In the basement banquet room of the Hotel Medford today, with an interesting talk and Interview dealing with the history and activities of the Medford postofflce. In his excellent review of the local postofflce, tinged with gen erous bits of humor concerning the part politics play in the postal sys tem, Mr. DeSouza paid tribute to J. S. Howard, the first postmaster, who as sumed charge of the postofflce here upon Its establishment in February, 1884. Mr. Howard also was the initial mayor of this city; was known as the "Pather of Medford," and filled the office of United States commissioner. It was his son who surveyed the city of Medford, according to DeSouza. "With the establishment of tho Medford postofflce here in 1884, this year of the celebration of Oregon's Diamond Jubilee might also be a year of celebration for the golden anni versary of this city," Prank DeSouza ssld. "Although the first train ar rived in Medford in 1883, the recog nition of this city by the postal de partment might be considered the real 'cradling' of Medford." D. H. Miller was Med ford's second postmaster, followed by J. S. Howard for snother term, M. Purdtn, George Merrlman, A. M. Woodford, Ralph Woodford, George Mlms and W. J. Warner. The speaker also paid spec ial tribute to the excellent adminis tration of Mr. Warner, who served as Medford postmaster for 12 years. The first postofflce here was located on South Front street, on a spot where hot dog sandwiches are now dispensed. The second location was next to the First National bank, then the present location of Marsh's groc ery. Before the erection of the new Federal building, the postofflce was housed in the building now used by Coke-Chapman. In 1918, the fine new Federal building was erected and im mediately became, the home of the postofflce. A small box, which was actually Medford's first postofflce, was shown by Frank DeSouza, together with a larger box which was used as the sec ond mall container. As another feature of the program. Mr. DeSouza Interviewed Rollle Beach, assistant postmaster, who has served in the postal service approximately 30 years. In Mr. Beach's Interesting re marks, the method of handling mail was described and suggestions offered for more extensive use of various phases of the postal service. Mr. Beach called attention to the fact that 37 people are now employed in the Medford postofflce, with an an nual payroll of approximately (85,000.

The whlspereu conferences were held for a moment before a venireman was passed or challenged. The Manning family was moved this morning from the rov of seats near tho Jury box to a position across the tiny courtroom. This was done to prevent confusion at recess when the Jurors left the box and the family moved forward to speak with the de fendant. The trial progressed with but few differences between opposing at torneys. The rapidity of seating a Jury was unexpected and without par ticular developments. Questions of tne state In no way Intimated whether or not the death penalty would be asked. Only 'the fact that circumstantial evidence would be presented was apparent. The defpnse left no qu-stlon that self-defense would be the foundation of Us move to free Manning.
