MAY BE ON FRONT STRET It la Thought Temporary Quarters Will Re Arranged for on High Street, ltnt on the Completion of the Line to Albany That the Permanent Depot Will Be Locuted on Front Its A (tents Have Examined Three Sites on High Street. With the assurance of Carl Grey, president of the Hill lines of Oregon, Electric will, within the next six weeks, construct a new depot In the city, much speculation is being in dulged In as to its location, and that speculation seems to be in favor of the Max Buren block on Court and High streets. The assurance that a new de pot would be built was given to Mayor Lachmund in a letter several days ago. Whether the depot, when built, will be a permanent structure 1b another question concerning which there Is much speculation. Representatives of the Oregon Electric, It Is known, ex amined three sites for the depot the one on which the Salem hotel is locat ed, the one where the Hubbard build ing is located and the Buren block. The latter, for several reasons, seemed to Impress the representatives as the most suitable. May He Temporary. In view of the fact that the Oregon Electric has made bucIi a hard fight for its franchise on Front street, and, that, with its extension to Albany and Eugene, that the acquirement of that franchise will give the company a straight run through the city, there Is an opinion advanced by some that if a depot Is built on High street It will be but a temporary structure. The com pany may build it, it Is asserted, but It is more likely, It Is stated, that it will be built by other parties and leased by the company. Then when the extension to Albany and Eugene is completed, It Is stated, the company will probably abandon It, and build a permanent depot on some property on its Front street line. In support of this theory the fact Is pointed out that considerable time would be lost by the company having to run its cars to High street for Its passengers. Tenants on the Buren property a few of them, have already been noti fied to vacate, and this strengthens the theory that this site is the site which the company, forvthe present, has selected for its depot. , o THE CHINESE LANDED UNDER FALSE PRETENSE UNITED PRESS LE1SBP WIRE.

We were to have been mar ried when his business became more profitable. The knowledge that he is a married man and has two children has prostrated me.
