RIM ROAD
For years the business men of this
city have realized the necessity of hav
ing a road up the Grande Ronde to
the Camp Carson mining district.
That nothing has' been done is due,
perhaps, to the reason that no leader
for the movement has' been found.
Now. that the Commercial club has
been reorganized, and has no other
business than to pur.h propositions
that' will result In benefit to the city,
this Mck of a directing force will no
longer be felt. '.The road In question,
which is needed, and which will bring
considerable trade to La Grande that
Is now going to lorth. Powder and
Baker City, bids fair to be built.
stockholders of the Aurella mine, who,
with the interests owning the Indiana
, mines, are greatly Interested In the
question, started up the river and
will make it their business In the very
near future to examine the proposed
route, determine upon its feasibility,
and make, through the Commercial
club, recommendations to the county
court It is not proposed to ask the
county to build the road, but the mat
ter must necessarily be handled
through that body. .

The Commercial club has secured
from E. C. Moore of the Eastern Ore

our products, and will put It to the

definitely settled upon, but the club

the purpose.
