EXPRESS RATE REDUCTION 10 v- F. 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

will mean large savings to shippers
of the country and will average
fully 15 per cent lower than the
average of the old rates according
to officials of the company.
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.

Mrs. Mary P. Jones, aunt of
Mrs. 8. V. 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

and his contentment means happi
ness for you. And both of you
will soon be Cottage Grove
