WILL BE THE ROCK ISLASD.
It will not be long before another
railroad is built through La Grande
r nd the Grande Ronde valley. Much
talk has been heard and there are
several companies looking over the
proposed route. Our guess is that the
Hock Island will be the road that first
liuilds through and this railroad will
doubtless claim the Summerville pass.
At least that is the talk in inner rail-

From Walla Walla the Rock Is
land will build into the Grande Ronde
valley and from here It will reach
North Powder and thence down the
Powder river to Snake river. A rum
or that seems to have some merit
states that the Rock Island has an op
tion on the Northwestern road which
was built down Snake river from
Huntington last year. This will give
connection through the Blue Moun
tains and will enable the Rock Island
people to reach Central Oregon
through Ontario.
The Byllesbys and others have had
men in this section looking up sur
veys, but the Rock Island railroad
will doubtless be the first to turn
..over the dirt and lay a track. This
will likely occur within eighteen
months.
Such big things move slowly until
a certain point in development is
reached and hen very suddenly sJJ
Toads in the territory make a Jump for
the coveted prize. The time is about
ilpe for that jump to be made at the
famous old Summerville pass and the
Grande Ronde valley. ,
' By coming this way the North
western railroad originally planned to
go from Huntington to Lewjaton, u '
never be completed for the same re-'
suits will be obtained and it will not
be necessary to. go to the enormous
expense of building through the box
canyons of Snake river where no ton

No one should become discouraged
for another railroad is sure to come
and with it that tremendous develop

road.

very likely there would have been nt

does Benson, and he probably has
more personal friends than any other

MIND YOUR TEETH.
Tha Valua of Kaeplng tha Mouth and
Gums Parfaotly Claan.
A man is known by the teeth he
keeps. The worst thing that can hap
pen to our teeth Is for them not to
have enough to do. It Is the worst
thing that can happen to ns also. Spir
itualized and cultured as we have be
come, we still fight the battle of life
with our teeth, though, we no longer
chew our enem!es' ears or throats.
Bone cored, enamel coated and rock
ribbed as the bills, our teeth are
more absolutely under our control than
almost any other structure of the body.
Neglect them and they decay at once.
Give them proper attention and they
will go on repairing themselves for
forty, fifty, sixty years.
Give children plenty of roughening
food to chew, and they will get the
pearly vigor of the savage tooth with
the endurance of the Caucasian's.
Above all, the food should be of such
a character as to give exercise and
massage to tbe gums. Part of this can
be given by plenty of coarse food In
addition to real food not as a substi
tute for It and part by Intentional and
vigorous friction with the toothbrush.
To brush the gums well Is half, the
value of brushing the teeth.
Keep the mouth and gums strictly
clean, and the teeth will take care of
themselves. There are thirty-three dls
tlnct named and labeled sorts of bacilli
or bugs In our mouths as normal parlor
boarders, but they'll behave with per
fect propriety unless you clve tbem
