SHERIFF PLANS TO
CUT OFFICE COSTS
Greater Efficiency Also Prom
ised Under New System
L of Tax Collecting.
DULL PERIODS ELIMINATED
Statements Are Made Out Before
Paying Season Starts and Are
Checked by Adding Machine,
Needing No Extra Clerks.
Preparation of tax bills In advance,
resulting:. It is hoped, in superior service
to the public and a. decreased cost of
operation of the county tax department
during rush seasons, has been made
possible by a new system installed this
year by Sheriff Hurlburt.
Not only have time- and money been
saved by the new svstem, but possi
bility of error has been decreased
greatly, according- to E. S. Huckabay,
-'"r' uepuiy in me tax department.
Under the former system of prepar
ing the tax bills, they were not made
up until called for by the taxpayers.
The taxpayer waited in line while the
tax clerk searched the tax rolls and
wrote up the detail of the bill by hand.
This is no more.
The new tax roll Is opened for the
collection of taxes each year about
February 1. and at that time there is a
general demand for tax bills. In for
mer years, almost every day during
February and March, the tax-collecting
office has been crowded with taxpay
ers seeking their tax statements, and
during this period there has been a
great congestion of business. The tax

. large force of additional clerks, a
great many of whom were inexperi
enced and unfamiliar with the tax
rolls. Errors and delays resulted from
this system, as well as increased oper
ating expenses.
Better Service Assured.
Sheriff Hurlburt and his tax deputies
conceived the idea that if all the tax
bills could be prepared in advance of
their being called for there would not
only be a decrease in the cost of main
taining ithe department, but it would
more efficiently serve the public with
, a minimum of delays and clerical er
rors. After a careful survey and inspection
of improved methods adopted by cities
such as New York, Pittsburg and
Binghamton, a new system was evolved
for Portland and was partially installed
last year.
The plan so distributed the work of
the department throughout the year
that there would be no real, busy
periods and no dull periods. Under the
old system the tax department main
tained a regular force of clerks, who
were only busy during certain periods
of the year. During February and
March from 45 to 60 extra clerks were
added to the regular collecting force
to assist in caring for the increased
business at this period of the year. In
April these extra clerks were laid off,
and during the ensuing Summer months
the regular deputies found a slack
period, and Instead of being engaged
in preparing for new work ahead, the
most perfunctory duties were per
formed. Clerks Kept Busy All Tear,
Under the improved system the cler
ical work has been rearranged in the
tax department so that each month of
the year has Its average duties to be
performed, and future contingencies are
anticipated and prepared for. Through
this -method it has been possible to
maintain an average regular force of
clerks, and the extra force will be cut
down to a maximum of 20 as compared
with 40 to .60 heretofore, a considerable
saving In clerk hire.
Accounting machines for preparing
the tax bills In advance have been in
stalled. These machines not only write
the tax bills, but they practically audit
each bill, automatically adding and
proving the correctness of each bill as
It is being written. Deputies in the
tax office say that these machines have
reduced the number of clerical errors
to a. negligible quantity, where hereto
fore hundreds of errors were made in
the bills each year, necessitating many
, later readjustments.
Accounting Machines Added.'
Five of these new accounting ma
chines, which, it is said, are the only
ones of their type on this Coast, have
just been brought from New York and
installed In the tax department by H.
J. Stewart, and the tax officials de
clare that these machines will prac-
i.,.-cwxj 1 1. f ui uiivui'jo uiu uioi lual worK
In their office by making it possible
to prove and correct all the tax bills
before they are handed to the taxpayer.
One of these machines, which will be
used in the bookkeeping department
will cut the expense of that division
alone by $500 the first year.
By next year the chief deputy of the
tax department says he believes by Im
proving the system still farther and
with the new mechanical devices in
stalled it will be possible to reduce
the collecting force to a regular staff.
If this can be done it is obvious that
there will be a corresponding reduc
tion in the cost of maintenance, and a
far superior service to the taxpayers
will be realized than was possible un
der the old system.
TWO SHIFTS UNNECESSARY
Federal Head Says Flreboats Are
Run Within Law's Rulings.
Establishment of a two-shift system
on the city s fireboats will not be re
quired by the Federal inspection eerv
ice. according to a letter received yeS'
terday by City Attorney LaRocho from
John Bulger, supervising Inspector of
the First District with headquarters In
San Francisco. The order from the
headquarters reversed the order of lo
cal inspectors that the fireboat crews
would have to be worked in shifts of
not more than 13 hours.
"The licensed officers," says the let
ter, are not overworked as they stand
six hours on and six hours off which
fulfills the law."
Marriage License Record Broken.
ALBANY, Or, Jan. 13. (Speclal.)-
There Is going to be no lull in the
marriage market in this county during
the coming year If early activities can
be taken as a precedent. Licenses are
averaging three a day and at that rate
excelling any previous record. Last year,
which was leap year, the number
dropped far below the average.

200 Per Cent in Two Weeks' Time.
NEW YORK, X. T. Since the re
markable discovery of organic Iron,
Nuxated Iron or "Fer Nuxate," as the
French call It, has taken -the country by
storm. It Is conservatively estimated
that over three million people annually
are taking It In this country alone. Most
astonishing results are reported from
Its use by both physicians and laymen. ,
So much so that doctors predict that
we shall soon have a new age of far
more beautiful, rosy-cheeked women
and vigorous Iron men.
. , Dr. King, a New Y.ork physician and
author, when Interviewed on the sub-
rtect, said: "There can be no vigorous
iron men without Iron, pallor means
anaemia. Anaemia means iron deficien
cy. The skin of anaemic meiuand wom
en is pale; the flesh flabby. The muscles
lack tone: the brain fags and the mem
ory fails and often they become weak,
nervous. Irritable, despondent and mel
ancholy. When the Iron goes from the
blood of women, the" roses go from
their cheeks.
"In the most common foods of Amer
ica, the starches, sugars, table syrups,
candles, polished rice, white bread, soda
crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti,

cosnmeal, no longer Is Iron to be found.
Refining processes have removed the
iron of Mother Earth from these im
poverished foods, and silly methods of
home cookery, by throwing down tho
waste-pipe the water In which our veg

another grave Iron loes.
"Therefore, If you wish to preserve
your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe
Sid age. you must supply the Iron defi
ciency In your food by using some form
of organic iron, just as you would use
salt when your food has not enough
salt.
Dr. Sauer, who has studied abroad In
crreat European medical Institutions,
said- "At, I hate said a hundred times
over, organic iron is the greatest of all
strength builders. If people would only
throw away patent medicines and nau
seous concoctions and take nuxated

you without doing you any good. You
don't get the strength out of it, and as
a consequence you become weak, pale
and sickly looking. Just like a plant

owe It to yourself to make the follow

how far you can walk without 'becom

In three weeks or less watch the

coarse, rough skin turns into
new, fresh, soft, youthful-looklntr
skin almost before your very eyes, all
due to simple skin osmosis produced
solely by warm water and roseated
cream. But be sure to use only pure
roseated cream, as it is an entirely dif
ferent thing from ordinary face creams
and must not be confounded with them.
I personally prefer Creme Tokalon
(Roseated), but any good brand will
do. If you have wrinkles get a box of
Japanese Ice Pencils and use them In
connection with the cream and you can
get quick action on the deepest wrin
kles, no matter of how Ions' standing,
in one night's time and awaken on the
morrow to witness most astonishing re

tonex (sold by druggists) on the faca

suppress the appearance of all smaller
wrinkles and marks of age and make
you look almost years younger. It
gives an indescribably beautiful effect
to the neck and arms for evening dress.
