ft But County M ONLY PAPER IN GRANT COUNXV. OlHoial Paper For Grant County. (J'ifvon Cstv, Saturday Jul 7 12. 1S70. 1 ' nimiri P. H. Shepherd, Editor. The Prospect. The pro-sp'cts for a railroad through this vallev ara about as good as any valley in East ern Oregon. We have not heard anvthinp definate as to the route t lie company are apt to adopt. But from what we read 'n other papers and from the way the surveyors are prosportii'ff and inspecting around and about ''old Iron side" Mountain between here and Malhuer City, we are in clined to beheve that we may hear any day that the company have decided to ad pt the John Day Valley route for the Salt Lake and Dalles Hail road. That tho have settled upon i:c pk-s or valley as yet is cer tain, and why are not our chances equal to, or for that matter, better than those of Grande Uonde to secure the road. When we bear in mind thai this is a through line and not particular to go out of the road to catch a few small towns, and also that by com ing this way they not only have the advantage of the low est pass and cheapest route from Boise (. ity to the Colum bia Hiver, but is six hours the shortest route from New York to Portland, and four days the shortest route from iSTev York to Hong Kong, and that is what Jay Gould & Co. are looking to no doubt. Besides, from Boise to the river the' pass through about 125 nvle.-. of the finest timber on the Pacific coast. No doubt the directors have taken into con sideration the advantages of this rouie and if they have, we hope to be able to announce to our readers before many weeks that the railroad will come this way. 31 J. lJKiiiAiu.
