ROAD TO WALLOWA Word that reaches na from railroad ' eenlera inspires a reasonable hope that it will not be long until a railroad will be built from Elgin to Wallowa county. Wallowa is a large county with tens of thousands of acres of mos t fertile soil, and ft healthful and genial clime. The extension of the Elgin rail road into it means the eatabliah . - - homes, school ' houses ,' end churches. In 1900 the U S census report gate ' Wallowa county a land surface of 2,784 square miles and a population of 5,538 a small fraction over two persons to the sqnare , mile. When Wallowa . county is as thickly settled as Pike county Mo., 411, to the squire mile, it will have 115,641 people. These figures are given to show the possibilities of Wallowa county and to emphasise the import ance of the news we are giving out that a railroad will soon un lock its vast resources. -There can be no doubt but Wallowa county when it has railroad connection with the rest of the civilised world, will sustain iu comfort more people than Pike county, Missouri. COPPER AND HEALTH The receut use of copper sul phate Jor the disinfection of re servoirs and the destruction of algae and uoxious germs in wat er has led to much discussion of the old idea that copper is dan gerous to health. Dr George T Moore of the Department of Agriculture maintains that a change has come over scientific opinion on this subjeot. Strange as t may seem, he says, there is not an authentic case of copper poisoning on record, either in this country or abroad, and he adds that tozicologists and phy siologists who have sufficiently studied the subject agree that copper, in the amount used for purification of water, it harm less. On accouut of the many ' defects in the practical use of filtration plants, Doctor Moore regards purification of water supplies by copper as a prefer able method, or at least as a safe auxiliary.

Lewis and Clark s joarney .. from the then Western frontier to the Pacific Ocean, has called forth the most interesting one . that we have read, it is a litUe book let written by Amy Jane Jtfa- quire, entitled "The Indian Girl who led them" (8acajawea the Bird tVpman) The booklet of 87 pages gives a realistic picture, not only of the topagraphy the wild onset tied west as it looked a hundred years ago, but of the wild people and animals that roamed over it and the labor and difficulties in finding a way through it. The important part which Sacajawea acted in this long march is told in a most pleasing manner. 1 - ' The simple history of this Indian woman, as told bv tbe author, gives the ' clearest pic ture of real Indian homelife that has l.eeo the' fortuie the writer hereof to have ever read. Sober reflections should arise 1U tile) uiiuua m 0 . . ut uiaauuuue financiers when reading that the bo trd of lady managers of the Louisiana Purchase Exposi tion, which discharged its duties to the admiration of all behold ers, administered its trust so wisely that nearly thirty thou sand dollars of the one hund red thousand appropriated by Con gress remains unexpendel.' Moreover, all the accounts are correct. This is in such happy contrast to the deplortble mud-j aies or error ana insolvency common m such cases that sea soned masters of finance must surely take the hint and let the women manage the next world's fair, and show the meu how to do it." At $2000 a day and expenses the Russian peace envoys will doubtless find their sojourn at, the pleasant New Hampshire town of Portsmouth agreeabie and difficult to conclude. It will be just as well hot to expect too early an agreement on terms of peace. j . ' Plans Wanted !
