It is learned that Pendleton and Walla Walla are not alone in a complaint against the new time card over the Union Pacific. Dav- ton citizens are also loud in their complaint against the new sched ule. By concerted action all along the line it is thought the company may grant some sort of a remedy. W. W. Statesman. - ... Athena is also very much dis satisfied with the new schedule, es pecially the mail service. A letter for Weston,- when mailed at this office now goes on to Walla Walla, then frequently js sent on the mail train to Umatilla, then to- Pendle? ton and reaches Weston , the next day; while a . letter ; rom Weston to this place goes-firstto Pendleton then back .here ihejinext ' day. It is but three miles W . Weston, yet'it takes about three days for a letter to reach there and an answer to re turn. There has been some talk among the business men of this place of trying to get a daily trai on the w. b u. a. road, ana snt Dins their freight over that lm but so far no action has been tajtr en. . The. Wrong Password. ..-.ri".': Last Saturday night a party of young men of Athena concluded to visit the Adams lodge of Sons of Temperance. When they reached Adams they went up to a j hall where they supposed the Sons of Temperance were convened. t At the outer door they were met by a guard to whom they gave the ex planation of the password of the Sons of Temperance. He clothed them with regalia, the splendor of which surprised them, and then passed them in. They were again surprised at not seeing any ladies present; but as lodge had, not yet taken up they supposed they would soon come in. But other surprises were in store for them. Soon the lodge was called to order and an officer came around to take up the password, and when one of our young men gave him the password of the Sons of Temperance, he turned and said: "Noble Grand, here is . a brother without the pass word." " It then for the first time dawned on them that this was not their lodge, but the Odd Fellows' hall that they had invaded. It is needless to say that they lost no time in getting out, and are now wondering what the Sons of Temperance will do with them for giving away the password.
