came Into the warehouses Sunday
from the sheep-shearing camp near

prices than are at present belli
quoted. The market is Arm and It is
believed good prices will prevail.

ARE RE
ORGANIZING
PENDLETON POSTOFFICE
AFFAIRS BEING REVISED,
Send In Your Street Number, or
Chanoe of Address Business Rap
Idly Increasing Both In the City and
on the Rural Routes.
Tho poRtofncc force is busy at the
present time In straightening out as
much as may bo the tangle resulting
from tho lack of interest on the part
of the public In tho matter of their
mall delivery.
Careless and Indifferent People.
Since last December, when tho de
livery system was put into effect, the
peoplo at large have made no general
effort to havo their mall class. .icd or
addressed to tholr street number,
nnd as a result tho carriers are com
pelled to keep In personal touch with
every one on their respective routes
in order to know where to place tholr
mail. In a city the size of Pendle
ton, and In one especially whero
there is the transient or floatlm; pop
ulation that thoro Is here, it is ex
tremely dlfilcult for tho carriers and
tho office people to keep track of the
mall and Its destination. From this
lack of attention on the part of tho
people, the mall service suffers in
promptness nnd accuracy. When a
man or a family moves It Is left to
the carrier to hunt him up and in
this way the service Is put to the bau.
It is the earnest wish and deslro of
the postoftlce peoplo that the public
would pay more nttentlon to this
matter.
As to the Rural Routes.
The business of the office Is in
creasing In volume dnlly and this is
especially true In the rural service.
There are at present three routes In
operation from the Pendleton office :
One to McKay creek, one to Hold-
man and one to Pilot Rock. The mall
Is carried by the stage drivers on
these routes, nnd the mail handled
is increasing rapidly as the people
come to see the advantage to be de
rived from system.
Tho McKay and Holdman routes
supply 50 to 100 families and this
number Is being added to dally. The
Pilot Rock route Is a new one prac
tically .and the work done there Is
not so large, but is growing at a great
rate, as the people see the good
features of the service.
From now on the postoffico will be
busy place, as the harvest will
bring in many people here who will
handle both mall and money orders,
and the department is preparing for
tho long, hard pull through the busy
and at the same time the hot season.
BICYCLE THIEVES AT WORK.
Are Choosing Coaster Brake and
Chalnless Wheels.
Illcyclo thieves nre apparently at
work- in Walla Walla for within tho
past three days as many bicycles
havo disappeared, says tho Union.
So far, no clue to the marauders lias
been discovered by tho police, but
developments aro expected in n few
days.
Tho last wheel to vanish belonged
to Jacob Gottwig. It was n Snell bi
cycle, with a coaster brake, leather
handles, 22-Inch frame and numbered
27419. Tho wheel was taken yester
day mronlng. Tho other two bicy
cles were stolen Sunday.
The woodshed belonging to J. W.
Mulllnix was broken Into Sunday
night and a lady's Columbia chalnless

STAMPS FOR PHILIPPINES.
American Postage Stamps Not Good
There After October.
After October 1, 1903, United States
postage stamps will not be good in
the Philippines nnd stamps marked
Philippines" will not be good in the
United States. Letters addressed to
soldiers In the islands In manv in
stances have inclosed postage for an
answer, but the government now be
lieves it hns postofilces so establish
ed In tho new Pacific possessions
that there is no need of this and that
residents of the Philippines can ol-
tain stamps whero they are.
F. W. vaile. assistant superintend
ent of tho railroad mall service, who
was at one time director general of
posts at Manila, and who established
some of tho first mail routes in tho
Philippines, said;
"There Is no further need of the
uso of United States postage in the
islands. Philippine stamps can be
easily obtained in nearly all of tho re
mote parts of tho Islands, and no
hardship will bo caused by tho en
forcement of tho new order."
