Failure to notify will result in discontinuance retro active to January 1, of the calen dar year nnd steps taken to recov er the entire overpayment. Income limitations for any calendar year are $1400 for veterans without wife or child, or a widow without child ren or $2700 for cither with eligible dependents. 20 Added to Jury Panel Twenty more jurors have had their names added to the April court term list for Morion County District Court.

According to the Oregon Spectator the town had a popla tion of about 300 in 1B49. In Tom Cox Store Turner Crump, post master in 1851, is supposed to have had his office in Thomas Cox store, Sa lem's first (1847) and located at the northeast corner of Ferry and Commercial street when the town was platted by W. H. Willson, March 22, 1850.' Locations of Salem's post office during the later 1850s are unknown to this writer. When John T. Ham ilton was post master in 1861 there is reason to believe that the post office was located at the rear of the newly constructed Moorcs building at the northwest corner of State and Commercial street. It was not there, however, on Jan uary 29, 1866 when the Oregon tan via aatt t th jat i and tha Sakm Unionist iot 1M saya that Malkry (Kufui Mallcry, Ort foa'e representative ia conarees from 1K7 te 1IM) had beuaht tha post office site east oi the Capitol hotel for lecatkn of a fireproof building.
