The Tribune aald yesterday: A afreet railway system for Fen dlWon with a lino connecting with the fulumbla river and other lines radlut t from this city to adjacent terri tory Is the plan of the committee of eitizens who last night applied to the ally council for a franchise. The capitalist back of the project are the same PlttHburg people. Who Viilt the line from Boise to Caldwell, Jh Idaho, and their engineer was In Pendleton about a month ago, spent two weeks here, and reported Very; favorably to hi principals. . James II. Gwlnn, who presented the ordinance to the council last evening said in explanation, that It was asked for as a preliminary step In the work of getting the capitalists Interested In this field, and to get them Interested the citizens must have something to show and something to offer. He said the engineer who had been here had reported favorably. Monte B. Gwlnn later appeared bo fore the council and the talk he gave them was something that made them sit up and take notice. He explained that the same people who would even tually take over the franchise If the road was built were thp people who had constructed the line from Boise to Caldwell and of which he had been one of the early promoters, and was still a stockholder. So favorable had been the report of their cnglneor on ! THE GEORGE PALMER ! LUMBER COMPANY RETAIL DEPARTMENT Lumber.

The main Idea, he said, wasy to get a line from Pendleton ' to the Columbia river. What such a line would do for the country was to be seen In the rapid Increase and growth of such places as Free water and Mil ton and the Boise valley, and other places In the Willamette valley. "These men are Pittsburg capital lsts," said Mr. Gwlnn, "and they have the money to put Into the system and are, I believe, favorable to the Pen dleton proposition. When they build a road they build a good one. Just an good as the O. R. & N. track. We are not asking for an exclusive franchise. and In the meantime if any one else should come1 In with the money to build this system, we would say, 'Let them have It.' What we are working for Is the good of Pendleton and I'ma tllla county and we want a railroad of thll character If possible." " Grande Ronde Lumbt r Co.
