THEB00TH
LANE
A Correspondent Ex
presses Opinions in
Regard to Improving
Booth Lane.
The
Stoddard Lumber
Company
IS DOING BUSINESS
AT THE
LA GRANDE
PLANINGMILL
There is not a newspaper published in
I.a Grande that would complete the
yearly news it It did not, at this time of
'he year, have an article in gleaming
headlinea "The Booth L::ne." These
headlines appear and have appeared for
twenty yeare or more, to my own know
ledge, aod if a person has taken the - La
Grande papers for that lenitth of time,
he would eventually come to believe
that there whb only one road to and
from La Grande, and that was the
"Booth Lane," and at this time of the
year was impassable oven for ducks and
geese. ;
Why is this wail and lament? Is it
because there are a few wbo desire a
turnpike to travel on to the detriment
of the balance of tho valley?
Is It because no work is done upon
this road?
Is there more heavy hauling over
tliii toad than other roads?
Totho first and second questions 1
have this to say, that I believe those
articles come either directly or Indirect
ly from persons living on this road, in
them I can find no fault, but rather
praise them for the ability they have,
in working the people of La Grande,
but my kind friends, be neighborly, do
untons, wbo are in worse condition than
you are, as you would have La Grande
do uuto you.
KeporlB show there has been more
money expended upon this road than
has been spent upon five times its
length in other sections of the county,
Why is more asked for?
So far as hauling over this road is
concerned, at this time of the year, will
say, there is less than others, which I
suull mention. The heavy hauling is
principally done in thefall over this
road; hay, grain and stock are shipped
by rail from Imbler and Allccl, there
fore leaving light traveling for the
winter. Is this so in that part of the
valley lying Cast to the Cove? Have
the Cove and the tuly country a rail
road to ship? Do the products of the
Cove come by the "Booth Lane" to La
Grande?
Over wliafoadB do the grain, hay
and hogB come into La Grand from the
country that iB to the East and 8outh?
Does La Grande propose to stand idly
by and let Onion improve the road to
the Cove and take our trade, rather than
to improve the roads leading in that
direction? I hope and prny not, a
long as I am a citizon of La Grande.
The road commencing at the A. B. O
south ot Island City, is almost impass
able at this time, even for light buggies,
and for hauling load of bay, grain, aud
hogs is impassable. Now all of the pro
duct from the Cove comes over this
road, if it markets at La , Grande.
There are lots of bogs, hay aud grain
taken into Island City and disposed of,
there becouse Uiey cannot haul over
this rovd.' This road is as bad now as
over the "Booth Lane" was. This road
running east from La Grande is not the
only road that needs work. The road
to Hot Lake la auother that needs at
tention. The one up the river by Oro
Dell Is another. '
Now if the city ot La Grands would
lend it lutlnenco, these roads could ; be
made good by commencing In the city
and making them solid and permanent
as they proceed yetr afier year then the
metropolis of this valloy would reap Its
reward. .
But the old adage, "distance lends
enchantment" is true, lor the city of
La Grande would rather sweep the yard
of a diatuut neighbor than sweep their
own doorsteps. Respectfully, A. I.
