The automobile haa surely been placed' to no more Ironical purpose than that which we herewith illus. trate. ; A French manufacturer has de vlned a conveyance which Is actually Intended for the transportation of the . very animals which the automobile 1b intended, to supplant. Seriously con sidered, the vehicle has certainly much to commend it. As the reader no oubt suspects,, it 1 primarily designed for the conveyance of valuable racing horses, that cannot be Intrusted to a railway without some anxiety. An ac cident might mean a heavy financial loss to the owner of the horse.' In an automobile such as that illuBtrated in the Scientific American, a thorough bred can be transported with consider able safety, and besides, with far more convenience and comfort. The in terior of the vehicle is fitted up as a stable with all the requisites to which the pampered horse Is accustomed. RIW RATES The Pacific Express company Is now represented in Wallowa with an agen cy, meaning that business can be han dled to that town without charges be ing prepaid.,., Tha rates have reached the local office and a copy given the , new agent at Wallowa.

With the fertile north end of Union county and the entire Wallowa county busi ness to be transferred here, the busi ness is rapidly Increasing. " Agents In the east ore not yet aware of the fact that there Is an office at Wallowa. Therefore, all business for those points are billed to Elgln.yNow that a regular Interior office has been established, the shipments must all be rebilied In this office,- necessitating additional clerical work by Agent Hib berd.

Fred Housh, manager of the Grande Ronde Electric company, arrived in the city late last night from Rock 5 miles of mountainous electric power conveying lines haa been set. With every pole In its place, there remains but the stringing of wires to perfect the project whereby La Grande and the Grande Ronde valley will secure sufficient electric lights, even though Morgan lake dries up for keeps. This big undertaking was found necessary to prevent a recurrence of last win ter's mess when lights and power were an unknown quantity here for several weeks. ; ' ': - It will require approximately 10 days to string the wires from Union to the Rock creek power project' The, 30 miles of poles takes the workers through extremely rough patches of country, but one thing that has aided the crew has been the favorable wea ther.
