As far aa known the maps simply clinch all rights of .way down the Grande Ronde river and In a measure corking out competition on that paM tieular gap of the Blue mountains. It is presumed that the Clearwater val ley railroad company has for Its ulti mate purpose the building of a road which will give 'water grade from La Grande and Union .county, points, as well aa all Wallowa county points to the Columbia. In time It will connect with the Snake river road which is primarily intended for heavy loads from-the east, according to reports, which can be hauled more convenient ly over the additional distance on road on river grade, than it can be ovtv the cut-off over the mountains.'- J ' It Is an extremely crooked road. The way the cr6w files makes the connect Ing link a little over thirtv mU ww; aa far as Union and, Wallowa counties are concerned, but the maps showed a meandering ' course that practically doubles that distance In thirty miles. The new company will have to; do something with Its rights within fjve years, though It Is possible to renew the rights of way at the end of that period. ' .l ' ' ;.

Hot on ly did it open on the scheduled mln ute but the exhibits were la their place and everything was in readiness to a far greater degree than is usually the case. Soft words might be heaped on the many virtues of the opening day but to get to facts: v Frank Phy purchased the first ticket and; then the stream commenced to pour through the gates, paying the fif teen cent admission fee children and adults alike. It Is children's day to day, it might be said paranthetlcally, so there was no charge for the child ren today but there, will be hereafter.
