Elgin Business Men Drelre New and More Desirable Wagon Road. Elgin business men are boosting a proposition which should meet the hearty approval of the county court and all business men of La Grande, It is a plan to shorten the wagon road between La Grande and Elgin slightly, principally to put the road on a river grade all the way. According to the plans now being discussed by Elgin business men, the new road will branch off from the Imbler road 'at the Rlnehart crossing, bisecting the McKlnnls, Bennett, Hlndman and Hallgarth ranches. The road will fol low the east bank of the Grande Ronde river north and enter Elgin from, the east. It will mean the construction of about three miles of road, but will furnish river grade from Elgin to La Grande, doing away with the hills of the Bandridga road. ABANDON OLD CHUTES. Traveling Crane and Pockets Now Do All Coal Loading Work. After years of service, the old coal chutes In the local railroad yards have been abandoned for the more modern and convenient arrangement, the trav eling coal chutes.
