Story of Wullowa County IVoJw lion by
O. It. & X. Has Flaw.
The Pendleton Tribune write edi
torial about the Morning Oregonlnn
story . recently as to advances ..of the
O. R. & N. for a water grade to Port
land: .
A few days ago a local writer on the"
Oregonlan Indulged In a bit of specu
lation a to the purpose of Hiyrlman
building the Elgin extension of the O.
H. & X. to Joseph, and said It la a
piece of cute work pursued only osten
sibly to reach the Wallowa country,
but In reality to form an opposition toj
of cut-orf to Portland on a water level,
route to that city and avoid the pull
over the Blue mountains. But to those
who are familiar with this part of
Oregon the notion of the writer is lu
dicrous In the extreme. He says the
purpose, of Harrlman Is to build the
road down the Snake river from Hunt
ington to a point nearest the Joseph
branch, come directly over, "that ilne
Into the Grande Ronde valley and thus
avoid the cllm bover the Blue moun
tains. ' '.
. It is also raid that "over the new
road the grade will be practically level.
Leaving from the point near Home
stead (on the. Snake river) trains will
pass Joseph and Enterprise Into' Ha
Grande, thus avoiding the' unnecessary
climb over the Blue mountains."
' But the -writer has evidently never
been In eastern Oregon and was bun
coed by some practical Joker. The
fact Is the only cJImb any railroad
makes over the Blue mountains is be-
. J j tween La Grande and Pendleton,;and
arter the tralff which is piloted by the
Oregonlan writer reaches La Grande
It will yet find that barrier rising to
something like an altitude of 4000 feet
to mount In Its "water level" route to
the sea. . .. ' 1
Besides, Instead of the new . roaa
"being practically level" after leaving
Snake river Into the Wallowa valley,
the fact Is' that Joseph Is more than
4000 feet above sea level, while the
Snake Is probably less than 1000, and
since it Is a comparatively short dis
tance between those two points It
would involve a fearfuf climb to reach
the Wallowa town. '
Taking it all In all, It is not likely the
Hhrtlman Interests were playing a
deep game, or any other, against Hill
in preparing a road from the Snake
river out Into Grande Ronde valley in
search of a down hill grade to Port'
land, making that immense climb Up
from Snake river into Wallowa valley
at art elevation of 4000 feet, only to
come plump up against the foot of the
Blue mountains at La Grande.
Evidently some fellow reporter had
been giving the author of the article a
"fill."
