fOR BRIDGE ACROSS WALLOWA RIVER
Lostine, Oregon, Jan. 16. The county
courts of Union and Wallowa counties
went down the canyon Friday, where
they met with the engineer and right-of-way
agent for the O. R. & N. Co.. for
the purpose of locating the new bridge
across the Wallowa river. There has
been some difficulty in the two courts
agreeing on the location. The Union
court favors the old site, while the Wal
lowa court wants the bridge moved up
the stream about 300 yards.
The O. R. & N. has offered to pay
$2000 in order to get the bridge moved
from the old site, as it greatly interfered
with building the railroad. The Union
court claims the railroad should pay a
greater sum than $2000, as the extra
expense will exceed that sum. It is be
lieved that the matter will soon be ad
justed, and that the bridge will be built
at an early date.
