way OF Pilot Rock, but upon COM
pletlon of the Heppner branch of
the o. r. & N, 20 years ago. the line
between Heppner and Pilot Rock
was abandoned and the line from this
city to Pilot Rock was extended to
Alba, which was a postoffice and
stage station before Uklah was
founded.
Many thrilling incidents of inland
empire history are clustered about
this old landmark and its disappear
ance will mark an epoch in the devel-
opment of this section of the state.
Lot Livermore, the well known pi-
oneer of this city, who was postmast-
er here for years during stage days,
was in the postoffice at the time the
arrangement of the Ogden -Walla
Walla-Scott's station stage line in
which Encouragement Pendleton was
made the junction for the Walla
Walla branch.
For many years Cayuse station was
the junction, but through the advice
and persuasion of Mr.. Livermore the
junction was moved to Pendleton,
which after that time became the
chief stake center of the inland en-
pire, one line running from here to
Walla Walla, one line west to Hepp-
ner and The Dalles. and the main line
extending eastward from here to
| Ogden.

One of the last important pioneer
land marks to disappear from PEN
dleton will be the Pendleton-Pi
Rock stage line which will be dis
continued upon the Installation of
train service on the Umatilla Cen
trail railroad.
While Carney and Kennedy, who
now operate the Pendleton- -Ukiah
stage line, have not received notice
of the change in the service, yet 1t
is known that the mail will un-
doubtedly be carried by the railroad
company and after the trains are in
service there will be no passenger
business to justify the continuance
of the stage line.
This stage Inc between Pendleton
and Pilot Rock is the last remaining
section of the old overland stage
route between ogden and The Dalles
to be abandoned, and has been in
constant operation under different
management for over 40 years.
For many years the line was oper-
ated from this city to Heppner by

Game by Big Score.
Last evening a practice game OF
basket ball was pulled off in the
Commercial association between the
team from the Pendleton business
college and one formed from the
evening gymnasium class. The play
ing was all in favor Of the gymnasium
team, which was composed of much
more experienced players than the
business college five, and the score
was as to 6 in favor of the associa-
ton.
For the association team the play
ers we're Shockley, Alexander,
Graham, Brewster and Hemmeigarn
while the business college players
were Cannon, Clemens, Porter
Frank, Edwards, Shaw and Bauchi-
minn. Clemens went in as center at
first, but was injured and his place
was taken by Cannon.
With more practice the business
college team will make more IA
vorable showing, for there are sew
eral good individual men in the team
though 1t is weak on team plays.
The series of games to be played
for the Winslow cup is now being ar
ranged and the first game will prob
ably be pulled off Wednesday night

Since the holidays have been on
Justice Parkes' court has been a

In ordinary times the district at

nation direct in the circuit court
thus avoiding the cost to the county
Of the justice court fees, But dur
ing the holidays this could not be
done and some Is or 20 cases were
brought before Judge Parkes. Had
the circuit court been In session all
would have been brought before
Judge Bean.

those suffering from the disease. This state
OF mind Is inspired by a remarkable series
Of cases which has just occurred.

noon operating on several cases, then went
home to dine with his wife and daughter.
Immediately after dinner Miss thinner be-
came very III. Her father found she was

was taken 20 the hospital and operated on.

got word he would have TO perform SINH
