It will do the same for any city. They may be costly ornaments, but they do land an- air of city life, industry and thrift. The inhabitants of Wallowa county are alarmed, and Justly bo. The O. R. AN. railroad company has partially tapped that county with a railroad, but gives no signs of completing the work started. The grounds for alarm j ' . arise out of the fact that the mighty ' arm of E. H. Harriman may not be encircled about Wallowa county this season. The residents and shippers of that fertile section need nothing worse yon earth than means of transportation and they had their hopes screwed up ' last fall when retrenching orders sud ' denly reversed the screw and now It appears that the old stage will keep on rumbling In and out of Wallowa county Indefinitely. Borne have said that the Harriman interests will not : be seen In Wallowa county until after the presidential election. That asser tion Is no doubt true, If present signs mistake not But the business men, shippers and financial Interests in general have a lever a probe, as it were that. If properly manipulated, should bring a gang of Oreeks, herded by contractors. Into their confines that would speed ily put the finishing touches on the Incompleted transportation facilities. , The electric line from Walla Walla holds the key to prompt completion of ; tbtaiiroad, '- The benefits to be derived from an . electric line (hat would be fed from Walla Walla, Wallowa and Union county power sources, a line that would tap Wallowa county and term tnate In La Grande after a broad -swfp of the Grande Ronde valley the benefits are Incalculable, Every .AUfiCt of effort exerted toward the ex .tfnsjon of an electric line win aend 'fcack to the pocket of the one who rt himself, a tidy sum. Not oo? that, but It will push the O. R. N. Into that territory and thus furnish hipping facilities for the shipper of heavy commodities. Housewives can do more than they think to make feature Saturdays in ' Grande really successful, If every lady of this city would Invite to her doml - die next Saturday, one friend from the valley, and then escort her friend down to Adam avenue during the af ternoon when the busy thoroughfare . will have been converted Into a speed way for automobile races, she will has contributed her large mite to the ' welfare of the project, and cemented friendship that will Inure to the benefit and prosperity of this pro gresslve municipality. Make It a point In Invite some one to La Grando next Paturdayl j .... . j Depot street emits and presents a unite and an aspect like the "main drag" of a metropolitan city of a night. With the merry Jingle of meg aphone and electric piano , of two electric theaters, the 'many brilliant lights and the throngs that always press by during the evening hours, the stranger cannot help but be Impressed with the busy air of that portion of the city. ' Services of statement No. 1 are no longer needed Is this campaign. Its noble work has been done; the candi dates which It placed In the field are ; bound by Its precepts and the sena torial candidates can no longer use It as a basis for argument or a plsnk In the platform. When the primaries rome again, however, there will be .more work, for statement No. 1. - .
