NORTH UNION COUNTY KOAI) In building u direct road to Walla Walla, Elgin and North , Union county arc following the axiom, that self help iH the best ! help In the world. ' The collective neighborhood ull'ort that Elgin , eitjzens are putting into that commendable enterprise will get : results. To reconstruct the Elgin link of the Elgin-Walla Walla road will benefit Union county and greatly convenience numbers of local and through, tourists who wish to travel due North and South; to say nothing of the profits that will. follow to the Un- ; ion county owners of the Wooilard toll road, wih which the new Elgin trans-mountain road .connects. A short direct mountain road from the Walla Walla valley I' to the Grande Hondo and Wallowa valleys will tempt many residents of Southeast Washington, which is hot and dusty in summer, to motor to the Grande Hondo and Wallowa valleys, which oiler belter summer climate and numerous beautiful spots , to recreate. ' . Every day in summer from Heppncr to Lewision, the resi- . dents thereof cough up quantities of volcanic ashes the won derful soil that produces their unusual wealth and after spit ting and blowing their noses look longingly at the Blue Motni tains and plan a tip pver them. For the Blue Mountains and their inter mountain valleys and the clear streams that course - through them furnish the natural summer playground for all the people, whites and Indians,- who live within sight of their lofty summits. . . In earlier times the Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla-and Snake Hiver Indians, when spring ended, vacated the bunch .grass plains which furnished them refuge from snow storms in winter, and migrated en masse to the valleys within the Blue Mountains which oll'ered them relief from heat and dust in sum mer. Indians from Idaho and Nevada came this iii such number that many tribal battles were fought for exclusive pos session of the pastures and ciimns meadows hereabouts. The present white owners of this Blue Mountain Illihe in- . tend not to exclude the natives of the contiguous prairies, whe- ther they be white or copper colored, but are making effort to induce them hither; and, unlike the aboriginees, who fought back intruders, , the" present settlers invito tourists and make the way easy for them to come lind share the charms of this country. Conspicuous evidence of this is the cooperation which Union county is giving in the construction of the Slate Highway across the Blue Mountains from I'entiieton to. La Grande. And because this is part of an interstate and trans continental syslemtof roads, this crossing of the mountains is . bound to be the principal thorofare. However, the Elgin-Walla Walla toll roml is an important contributing lateral, particularly useful this Rummer when the Blue Mountain section of the State Highway is lorn to pieces in the process of construction. On that account the Elgin people have seized an opportune moment for putting their transmountain road in .order. t . '. It is unfortunate that the line road from Summerville over lltt lowest pass in' the mountains by 'way of the head of the Umatilla river canyon was allowed to go to pieces. Some time that will be rebuilt. Already the forest rangers are marking it with a good horse trail. The Elgin-Walla Walla road, for which always there has '- been considerable demand, might have been belter manivwi- ed by public appropriations if it had not been for the feeling on both sides of the mountains that public money should not be used to build approaches to a private toll road, which the ' center section of that highway was made by an ill advised Oregon legislature. The Woodward loll road was created at a time when Oregon law makers were reckless and provident in handinjf out public lands- and exclusive rights of way to private. associations, without exacting a proper return to the public Whether justified or not. tourists over the Woodward toll road have conrplained that an insufficient share 'of the HHiiiey collected at the toll gate, were expended in the up keep , of lb1 road. And always il is so when private corporations fain control .over highways whii'h should belong the the people. Otmrtdly speaking -tin .toll road is a' relic of barbarism "ml frowa in disfavor.- Everywhere the free road, constructed by yatenis. to taxation intended to be equitable and general, is kinjr thi place-of the toll road.

It might be stated that in every city where it is possible to bring the highway in on high J ground so tnat a view can ne owiamet., considerable en on is made to do so. From here to Salt Lake in sections where new highways are to be built they invaijably enter cities on the high lands.
