telegraph office, waiting room and
station building at North Fork on the
o. r. & n. for the past 12 years and
which. since the new depot building
has been in use at North Fork, has
been used as a tool car by Foreman
Rounds of the mechanical depart
ment in this city, will now be taken
to Pilot Rock to be used as the first
depot and station building there
until a permanent building can be
erected.
The temporary office will be run
out to Pilot Rock this week, where
il will be placed beside the track as
o. R. & n. headquarters for a short
time.
1t is estimated that more operators
have worked in this car than in any
other on the o. r. & N. system. as
North Fork was only a night office
for several years and a new operator
was sent every week for months at
a time.

Fight Over Union Postoffice.

There has been a bitter local fight
over the postoffice at Union and the
Oregon delegation has so far refus-
ed to nominate either of the contest
ants. Yesterday by mistake, Presl-
dent Roosevelt sent the name of Ma
rion F. Davis, present postmaster, to
the senate, before the Oregon dele
cation had acted upon it, and it will
now be necessary for the name to be
withdrawn until the delegation de-
cides upon a recommendation.

Little Alabama, the Slave Girl,

Another change in the bill occurred
at the Oregon theater last evening
and during the remainder OF this
week the Streeter-Bryan company will
play Little Alabama, the Slave Girl"
AS usual, the newly remodeled
playhouse was crowded last evening,
the performance was well received as
have been every play the Streeter-
Bryan people have put on since their
arrival here. Many believe that the
present bill is the best the stock COM
pany has played and 1t is certainly
pleasing little drama.
In the new play Miss Bryan stars
as Little Alabama" a colored girl,
while Morrle B. Streeter appears as
an old plantation darkey in which
role he makes good as dialect COM
edlan.

LENT.

Hail, holy season of Lent! The
season of penance, of fasting and
prayer, the seaso of modification
aud self-denial, is here. Those
who do not own the obi CATION will
at least concur in the motives Of
those who do.
1t is not for us to treat Of the
forty days as doctrinal matter or
as a religious institution. We
deal with it from the secular view
point alone. But from the stand
point of one who views the world
as a panorama and this fleeting
life as a passing show, in which
the several characters disport
themselves Tor our advertisement ,
it seem ii good
Even a worldliug, of the earth
earthly, and reeking with the aro-
ma of the flesh pots. is willing to
hail with some sort of satisfaction
these forty days. 1t is good, even
for the gayest, to exchange for O
season the full-dress aud opera
cloak for the sack-cloth and ashes
Do you know. that in this eoun.
try at least. we are moving along
at fairly dizzy pacei 1t is true,
Therefore Lent is to be welcomed,
even If it can do no more than
temporarily break a cog in oul
everlasting whirring and whirlinl
social machine. We are too mate
rialistic. Therefore. as AZORES aid
welcome Lent, and welcome any
thing that will temporarily jar u
loose from the strenuous life. w,
