Mn. Heltn Splker, who Is plcturtd above, is tha oldest em
ploye of tha Klamath Falls post office in point of service. Mrs.

Woman Serves in Klamath
Post Office for 27 Years
The oldest employe of the
Klamath pot office In poUit ot
trrvlcc Is Mrs. Helen Splkcr.
Mrs. Splkcr has been employed
as postal clerk here for 27 years,
and Is now also civil service sec
retary of Klamath Falls.
Mrs. Splkcr, who was thon
Helen Paxson, came ht-ro In 1014
from Wauscon, Ohio. She taught
In tho primary grades at River.
sldo school for four years and
then, In June of 1018, accepted
a position with the Klamath post
office as general delivery clerk.
Mrs. Splkcr recalls that at that
time the post office was located
In the Murdoch building and
Hiram F. Murdoch was post
master. The establishment was
later moved to the Evans build
ing and still later occupied the
space that is now Hnrry Haf
ter's furniture store at 0th and
Klamath.
On October 22, 1931, the pres
ent Federal building was com-
fileted and the post office moved
n to occupy the space it still
has.
The post office staff has easily
doubled Its numbers since those
earlier days, said Mrs. Splkcr,
and it was about the time that
she first started serving the post
oflco that carrier service was
inaugurated.
An Interesting feature of her
career is that she started work
ing as a postal clerk during the
last war and is still serving dur
ing this second world conflict.

employed as a postal clerk in
June. 1018,. she received $800
a year. The next month, July, of
the Fame year, her pay was
raised to S1000 annually, and on
January 1, 1023,. it was raised
still higher to $2100 a year.
Postal employes were granted a
bonus of 5300 annually in 1042,
so her salary is now S2400 a year,
lust siouo more than she ;
ceived vhen she first started to
work.
Mrs. Spiker feels that mail
transportation pr&blsms are
pretty much the same now as
they were in 1018. Sha recalls
that mail came in from Weed,
Calif, several years ago, before
the present line was extended
to Portland, and some was i
brought across the mountains
from Ashland by stage.' !
She was married in Klamath '
Falls on May 24, 1023 to Oliver
W. Spiker, employed as a sales
man for the Lorenz company, i
and she plans to continue at her '
present position as postal clerk i
until 1848, when she will retire
if the war is won and the 30-1
year optional retirement plan is
In effect. i
Mrs. Spiker said the Christ-1

the greatest she had ever seen ;
here, and she should know. She j
has served faithfully through 27
of them! .
OF CITY LOTS
.i an effort to put city-owned
property back on the tax rolls,
the city council, in session Mon
day night, urged advertisement
of such property involving some
1300 lots totalling approximately
$200,000.
Publication of foreclosure in
1930, 1040 and 1041 "pretty well
cleaned up the city-owned lots
at that time," according to Police
Judge Harold Franey.
Such advertisement Is neces
sary, it was felt, to publicize the
fact that the city has a number
of excellent lots available in both
residential and business sections,
and there Is an increasing inter
est being taken by individuals In
postwar building.
The property, salable at the
city hall, has been appraised by
the city appraisal board, and
those interested may complete
business transactions directly
with the city.
The problem of improper sew
age on a section of Main street,
between the Big Basin Lumber
company and the government ca
nal, was discussed by the coun
cilmen at this time. According to
E. A. Thomas, city engineer, this
particular scwor was constructed
by private interests, and is in' a
very poor condition. There is no
way in which the city can clean
it out, and a great deal of dam
age has been caused as a result.
It was decided that a new sew
er should be put in by the city,
and the expenses assessed
against the property. The meas
ure can be put through without
the usual procedures of property
owners petitioning to the city,
because it is strictly a health
measure, and the improvement
will be for sanitary reasons. The
matter was referred to the city
engineer, the city attorney and
Paul Landry, councilman of
ward number 4.
