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

financial Interests in general have a
