THE SUNDAY OREGOMAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 14. HIGH AREA TAPPED Immense Timber Belt Opened by Howard Creek Road. GRAIN DISTRICT BEYOND Residents of North End of Wallowa County Sec nop of Relief by Railroads In Do Time as Result of Construction. LA GRANDE, Or, Sept. IS. (Spe cial.) Construction of the Howara Creek IoKKin road of standard ajauge by the Cieorge Palmer Lumber com pany, leaving tha Joseph O.-w. N. branch at a point nr Ronlowj haa reached a point where the Initial terminus la near. , The line will tap a timber belt of immense size In Wallowa County, and it la said that It will keep an ordinary mill supplied with timber for 25 years. But there Is even KreAttr hope held out for the road from residents of the north end of Wallowa County. There lies a small empire In Northeastern Ore gon that is remote from railroads but immensely rich in resources, flora la the center of the portion of that em pire which lies in Oregon, but a sub stantial section occupies a corner of Washington, centering around Asotin, in Asotin County: Anatone. In the same county, also in Washington: Troy. Par adise. Grouse. Eden and other districts in Oregon. ., Flora lies Just 44 miles north, as the crow flies, from Enterprise, and ia rail roadless. To reach the district travel ers must pass through S3 miles of dense forest that ts being tapped by the Palmer mill through Howard Creek, by the Mlmnaugh mills of Wallowa through Wiskey Creek. A Jackson in terest road has already been tentatively surveyed out of Enterprise. Beyond this timber belt lies the small rich em pire. Great fields of wheat, oats and barley are annually yielding splendid crops. David Coon sets the pace this year with 62 bushels to the acre on a SOO-acre farm. Because of lack of. rail roads the wheat Is fed to hogs and the hogs driven and hauled to Enterprise at much loss In shrinkage. Life ia primitive and "pioneer." but tremen dous crops are raised, and a tremendoua country, chopped up with deep ravines that feed hoga and cattle and create wonderful scenery, is tucked away in the extreme northeastern section or nr.rin that. If tapped with railroads. would add thousands of dollars to the shipping Interests of the state. The territory Is bounded by Joseph Creek on the east. The northern boun dary Is a line of mountaina traversing Asotin County In Washington and cross-sectioned by the lower Grand Rondo. The boundary on the west Is the upper Grand Hondo, and on the south the timber belts. Into which rail roads are now building. The hope of the north end people, as thickly settled on rich farma as any section of Wal lowa County touched by railroads, is ' that either or both of the Umber roada will extend their lines some 20. or 30 miles and give them means of transpor tation, for which they have been wait ing aince Mrs. Austin. S9 years old and still capable of cooking for and manag ing the Wallowa Hotel, first set foot in Flora 30 years go. Dr. K. E.

The latter department ts to be strict and the plan Is to embrace the 21-year clause. A meeting is to be held soon in order that the 1S1J football h. handled under the as sociation. La.

The Alabama Minstrels arrived In this city yesterday at noon unan nounced and are staging their perform, ance In a tent on Eighth street, near M avenue. The company hit this city at a bad time as business Is almost at a standstill on account of such a large percent of the population being at the Roundup at Pendleton. Many of the smaller business houses closed this afternoon on account of a lack of peo ple to do business with. Sherwood Williams cashier of the Imbler State Bank, was operated on yesterday morning at the Grand Ronde Hospital for appendicitis, and is rest ing as well as can be expected. Mr. Williams came to La Grande a few days ago to attend the Imbler School case In the District Court, when he was stricken with appendicitis at the home of his father-in-law, B. W. Grandy. Dr. Barrett, of Imbler, and Dr. Bacon, of La Grande, have the case in charge. OLD TIMER PASSES AWAY Mrs. Mary Olds Cook Came to Ore gon In 1852. McMIVNVTLLE. Or, Sept IS. (Spe cial.) Mrs. J.

"Make the country school the social center around which may be assembled all tbe activities of the rural commu nity; let the work of the school fit the boy and the girl, and do not try to make them fit the school, and we shall have social and educational conditions that our country children will not care to leave."
