Itemiser, one year in a.lva With Weekly Oregonian o With Oregon Woodman . DALLAS, ORE ’PHONES: »^|Snce,n3 Patronite One Another for th<- Vab u A isti mb OUR NEW POSTOFFICE Best Equipped One in West Side Counties. Postmaster C. O. CoaJ informs us this morning that if nothing happens, he will be able to move into hi- new quarters by neat Monday probably Haturday night. Under his supervision we looked over the room, and after in spection cannot blame him and his ef ficient force for the pride which they feel ill sooii being able to work in such convenient and commodious a building. There will be MO boxes altogether, all on the left hand as you enter, and 1(H) of them being of the latest combination lock pattern. They are of metal, and all you have to do is to know your combination, the carrying of a key liv ing altogether done away w ith. The Iront of the brick has two large plate glass windows and double doors and on entering you find yourself in a large lob by It!) feci wide and about half of it :I2 feel long, excepting the space taken up by the distributing department. Hack of this is a large room for the sorting of mail and the clerical work. The rur al route carriers will receive and take out their mail from the side door on the allev, and will not interfere in any wav with patrons of the lobby. They will also be especially well fixed for sorting their mail and have abundant loom. The office will be heated bv steam, have plenty of electric lights, city water, toi let and other conveniences. There are two delivery windows. The two in front will now be used for mail distribu tion and money order business, but in the future, when the town grows a lit tle more and additional help is secured Postmaster Coad will use the one at the end of the lobby for money order and postal business and have stamp and de livery widows at the front. The inte rior finish and decorations are superb, ami is the work of those skilled urtists, Holman it Dungan. They have surely done a nice job and made our postotlice a credit to a town of three tun -s its size. Well may Mr. it. E. Williams, the owner of the brick, ho proud of his accomplishment, and the business hous es he has built up on Court street.
