Flag Now Waves Over The
New Federal Building.
NOT A HITCH IN THE SERVICE
Within Four Hours The
Change Was Completed.
Business is Now Transacted With
Uncle Sam at the Corner of State
And Church Streets and do Not
Forget to Take Your Key.

"By Gum, I believe there liyin In
it."
This was the expression overheard
on the way up town this morning.
The remark was made by man who
had driven in from the rural dis
tricts, and he was right in his de-
duction.
The stars and stripes were shaken
out over the new federal builuing To
the winter winds early this morning
and Marion people began receiving
their mail from the handsome and
complete new post office home which
has been provided by Uncle Sam at
AN expenditure OF almost 100000.
The revolving doors offered a puz-
ale TO some OF the people who had
| not become city broke, but they lin
ally solved the mystery of how they
| put fellow on the inside of the
| building ana still left no door open
and learned that they could not run
| them the wrong way. Then all went
well for the hrst day. That the peo-
pie were more than pleased with
the new building was shown by the
voices of approval which were heard
upon every side.
| AS soon as the general delivery win

at seven O'Clock Thursday evening

Post master Dickerson and the
janitor got real busy and the in
| dustry which was manifested in the
old and new homes would put 10
shame the busiest beaver colony of
the Northwest. Every body worked
and worked like "A mailer and the re-
suit was that at eleven O'Clock the
change was made and the force was
installed IN the new home and things
were running smoothly. Mail for
trains as late as ten o'clock was sent
out from the old office but the in
coming mail was delivered and dis
tributed at the new office. There was
not hitch in the proceeding. Not a
train was missed and not a piece ol
mail was delayed because OF the
change.
The postofice force is today get

surroundings. 1t IS just trifle diff
cult to get onto the hang of things
in the new quarters, but as soon as
the arrangement of the new office is
learned, the post Office will be run

past.
When you want your mail, call
at the corner of State and Church
streets and do not forget your key.
