Lammon 'Taken by Death rollowing BENEFIT LOCAL TRÄDE Long Illness Charges on Long Hauls Are Low- erqji as Much as 30 Per Cent in Some Instances. M. F. Lammon, for 20 years a resident of Cottage Grove, died in Springfield Tuesday morning at 8 o’clock after an illness of several months. The funeral was hold from Mills’ chapel at 2:30 this af ternoon, A. J. Adams, pastor of the Christian church officiating. He was 71 years of age and was born in Douglas county March 6, 1853. His parents were eakly pio neers in tho Oregon country. One brother, John Lammon, of Spring field, a sister-in-law, Mrs. E. J. Lane, and a nephew, Ira Lammon, are the only surviving relatives known in the vicinity. Mr. Lam mon was married a number cf years ago but his wife died after living with him for the brief period of seven weeks and he never re- married. His home was on south Sixth street and he lived there alone until illness made it necessary for him to go to the Springfield hos pital whore his death oceured. His brother lived with him at his homo here a number of years ago, but has since resided in Springfield. Mr. Lammon Was a carpenter by trade and was well known in Cot tage Grove and Lane county. Internment was made in A. F. & A. M.-I. O. O. F. cemetery. A reduction of express rates, effective March 1, which will en able Cottago Grove shippers to save as high as 30 per cent on shipments to the east in a number of instances, has been announced by the American Railway express company. The reductions come as somewhat of a surprise to the shipping public as the general trend seems to be toward raising rates instead of lowering them. The national congress has under consid eration a bill for the increasing the rates on parcel post matter and the express company’s reduc tion comes as a distinct contrast to tho increase considered by the government. Local rates will be reduced from 10 to 15 per cent, according to R. C. Quigley, local agent for tho company. The higher reduction comes on long hauls in which the reduction is close to 30 per cent in a number of instances. This saving to the public was brought about by the desire of the express company to remodel the rate structure to meet the ship pers’ special needs and to place the express service in actual com Your home print shop—The Sen petition with nny other method tinel—should be always considered of transportation as to rates.

As a sample of the reductions the following differences in rates be tween Cottage Grove and eastern shipping points are given. The old rate from Cottage Grove to Chicago was $13.23 while the new one will be $10.25. To St. Louis the old rate was $13.23 and the new one will be $10.50 while the old rate of $12 to St. Paul has been reduced to $9.05. Rates to San Francisco have been reduced from $4.25 to $3.70. A certain amount of free insurance is in cluded in the rates as quoted. f' The reduction affects the entire V- United States. According to figures given out by Mr. Quigley this afternoon the reduced rate will result in a saving of approximately $3,000 a year for Cottage Grove shippers. The total business of the company hero last year was around $20,000 and it is estimated that the reduction rates will amount to at least average of 15 per cent.

Allison, died on Feb. 10 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles W. Buell, who re sides on the Peora road seven miles from Albany. Mrs. Jones was born in New York state and resided in Pennsylvania and Indi ana before coming to Oregon. She settled in Sheridan in Polk county and later moved to Tillamook coun ty living at Blain and Beaver. Ar rangements have been made for shipping the body to Portland for cremation. Passing along a street near the railroad station the other day, the writer observed two gentlemen who obviously were visitors in Cottago Grove. Coming a little closer to them, wo couldn’t help but over hear one of them remark: “This looks like a good town. Business seems to bo thriving. Fine buildings. Good stores. And every body who pusses us or of whom we inquire for information—seems to be so wonderfully contented. Wonder why it is!” That statement set us to think ing. Coming from a stranger with in our midst, it impressed us all the more. Evidently, those two strangers had fortunately encount ered people who were truly proud of Cottage Grove and glad for the opportunity of lotting others know it. And yet, there are those amongst us who—for no par ticular reason at all—grumble about opportunity hero, about our environment and boast about what excellent chancos there aro for us elsewhere. Is that fair to- Cottago Grove! If, for a moment, you truthfully thought Cottage Grove was retard ing instead of bettering your con ditions—would you hesitate to pack up and seek other portfl! You would not. Ho why not—for your own peace of mind—be content with the opportunities Cottage Grove is giving you! Speak a good word for it. Keep smiling a sincere, friendly smile and always be ready to extend a cheery welcome to the stranger. Best of all, extend a helpful hand to your noighbor. You’ll mako him content with his surroundings and his contentment means happi ness for you. And both of you will soon be Cottage Grove boosters.
