fairness of the trial that resulted

resolve of the administration to
execute tbe laws of, the United

Tbe farmers residing near the
Booth Lane are all subscribing
liberaly to the fund which is to
be used to make thai famous
piece of road passable, This is
a good move and it will be a
great benefit to tbeintire county
and .especially to La Grande.
Realizing that this road when
improved will be of great and
lasting benefit to this town, the
citizens of this 'place should
render all asssistunce in their
power when they are called upon
to help. In a few days the Baoth
Lane people will call upon tbe
citizens of La Grande to con
tribute to this enterprise and it is
only proper that we subscribe
liberaly and do our part to as
sist in making this piece of the
worlds' worst road passable at
