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.
Introducing the program for today,
Wilson Wait's two band members,
Jack Terrett and Cyril Sander, prp
sented musical numbers.. Jack en
tertained with a bass horn solo and
CyrU pleased the Rotarlans with two
fin piano numbers. Visiting Ro
tarlans were G. A. Allen of Tacoma
and W. M. Moses of Grants Pass.

Manning, once more sitting hunched

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
