Eugene Register: A 20 per cent
reduction in the assessment of all
lands in Lane county has been made
by Assessor B. f. Keeney this year,
according to announcement of that
official recently Mr. Keeney for
nearly year has been contemplating
this reduction, and when he sent his
deputies into the field last spring
he gave them instructions to act in
accordance with this decision. AS
SCISSOR Keeney said that this reduc'
tion will lower the assessed valua-
tion of the property in the county
about $4,50O,OOO, and he expects
that the total assessed valuation will
be something like $S,000,0OO less
than 1t was last year. This is ac-
counted for, he says, by the fact that
the o. & G. grant lands, valued at
$3,320,915, are left off the roll, the
reduction on land values will take
off about $4,000, 900, and it is posi-
BILE that the state tax commission
will make big reduction in the val
uation of public service corporations.

ular sheet music size folder 10h by
IA inches. The Southern Pacific
Company has had printed 100000
copies of this song and it is the first
exclusive Ashland advertising that
the company has ever put out.
On the first page appears a cut
of the Ashland glass of water and
the title of the song at the top. This
is fol lowed by Mrs. o. Winters slo-
gan, ashland Grows While Lithia
Flows" On this page also is a cut
three by five inches showing a scene
in Lithia park, including the three
spring houses. Near one of these
can be seen George Kramer's auto
mobile. Anyone would know it is
his car by the hat George wears
which is always the same one,
though he is the local agent of the
Southern Pacific Comapny Below
the cut the author says that the song
is dedicated to his good friend, John
NJ. Scott, general passenger agent of
the Southern Pacific, Portland. The
second and third pages bear the
words and music of the song, headed
by the title, and Mrs. Winters slo-
gan again. The last page advertises
"Oregon's Famous Spa," giving loca-
ton, extent of Lithia park, popula-

Readjustment in
Local P0StOffice

The Ashland postoffice is under
going a steady readjustment by the
department and Postal Inspector E.
]. Gallagher with a view of increas
ing the efficiency and reducing the
expenses. Beginning September l
the auxiliary clerical allowance was
cut down $697 per year The street
letter carriers have rad additions
put upon their routes and further
additions are contemplated. Two of
the letter carrier routes have had
their leaving time from the office
advanced one hour earlier in the
morning and the schedule for the
departure of the rural carrier will
again be advanced, leaving the Of
flee at o'clock in the morning The
rearrangement also allows for the
caring for all mail dropped into the
postoffice up to half an hour before
the departure of the Shasta Limited
trains in the early morning hours
both north and south. Other minor
changes improving the srevice have
been introduced.
Postmaster E. ]. Kaiser reports
that the readjustment has been due
ever since First Assistant Postmas-
ter General Daniel C. Roper visited
Oregon a year ago and directed an
inquiry into the Oregon postoffices.
The o. & c. grant locating frauds,
orchard company frauds and other
gigantic ewindles have kept the post
office inspectors in Oregon so busy
the past year that the introduction
of these reforms in the local office
has been delayed for some months.
There are many ways in which the
public can aid in reducing the labor
and expense of the postal service,
among which are: Large patrons
facing their mail, separating the
pieces by local and outgoing classes,
and the letters by long and short
sizes; by posting their mailings as
early in the day and as frequently
as possible so as to avoid congestion
in the evening and insure prompt
despatch; to deposit their mail, If
practicable, at the main office in
stead of in street letter boxes; to
call at the postoffice in the morning
for heavy incoming mails; to supply
sufficient addresses on their station
cry, in return cards and in the ordi-
nary direction on outgoing mail; and
to provide mail receptacles as near
the street as possible for carriers.
