County Assessor James F. Nelson, an
nounces that the assessed valuation of
Clackamas county property will be
about doubled. Assessments on rail
roads and other incorporations will be
more than doubled, i here is no doubt
that these properties have been assessed
entirely too low, and, in fact, that al
most every other kind oi property has
been assessed too low in this county,
and this is the reason tbat the tax levy
in Clackamas ccunty is bo much higher
than it is in the various other counties
in the fctate. By doubling the valua
tion the levy will be reduced to a pretty
reasonable figure in the years to come,
and it will look much better to an out
sider who thinks of investing in proper
ty here to have a levy of say from 18 to
25 mils than the present rate.

Watch Repairing
let -a m a . .v
Watches need attention like all machinery,
and the better the watch the more particular its
owner should be to have it looked after, watches
should be oiled every two years. Oiling involves
cleaning, for fine dust finds its way inside the
watch and eventually works an injury.
We have the best men we know of for re
pairing watches employ none but skilled work
men; and of course we guarantee the work, which
means that we can afford to do only work that
is first-class.
Our prices are reasonable. If your watch
needs renairinsr we will look it over and tell you
how much it will come to before the work is done.
Wo will set and regulate your watch free of charge.
