So why should I jmrt with her jrnt
to please them ?
The neighbors all worry, they don't
like my pet,
They complain of the looks of my dear I
old I innette,
And while patiently waiting, us meek
u a mouse,
Thy don't like to see her in front oi
the house.
They may laue;h ut my "wagon," or
tall her a "sight,''
She's a noblo old creature, her en
gine's all right,
ller intentions are splendid, she's noi
failed me yet,
So, why shouldn't I love her? My
dear ol Tinnette!

Ifi-rbcrt Nairn, the stale highway engineer, lias
brought joy to the hearts, of 1 lit traveling public, with an
order stating that very shortly the new frade around
Wallowa hill will be opened for traffic even though the
rock surface is aiol yet on. ' 1
This means food bye Wallowa, hill. Goodbye to .one of
the worst barriers "Wallowa enmity has. No longer will
the chicken hearted automobile driver .shiver when the
Lfjl is nientionllil, no li.ne.-er will iris into Oregon's
beauty land be cancelled because of the hill.
Speaking of that hill, Without anv kidding, it is a i. Grande has a lot of promising
bad one. "We have heard the stout, hearted' sa- they did not cn-nccord,ng to the b.u-coi-niind
driving the hill at .all; Mint we never believed them.! ' '
Hfle'cenHy the writer was returning firm Enterprise and
had negotiated' the hill to the point' where it is the steepest
and narrowest, when right ahead of us appeared Men

neither did he grin a cordial gueeting, and Men has lived
in AVallowa it life, time and has traveled the hill on manv

We are glad to hear Nunn's edict that the hill is a
thing of the pust. Front now it will be. a marked pleasure
to drive into Wallowa county.

SAMUEL COCHRAN.
WhC'iL a good man dies there is left a vacancy ifW a
Jong time 'to come. Such is the case of Samuel Cochran,
who has been' called by death. IIU nanl.t is a part of the'
Grande Ifonde valley t'er his life was spent here, his fain-,
ily was raised here, his interests weiV all located in 1his:
valley and he loved this part of the state. j
Living a life of the honored American citien this
ll'ine rld gentleman gave dignil y'a.nd honor to everything'
liJM associated with' cither in business or in a social way.1
Jlis line of thought, was clean and high niind'ed and it
was his hope to see his. slate and country advance, to
raise his family according to the standards of American
habits. All of these things he did remarkably well. In
leaving this earth he cjouhl not. but feel that his life had
beA'11 well spent. Jlis children were grown and all of them
V'ccupying important, places among men doing things
that are needful to be done.' While not spectacular in the'
least the life of Samuel Cochran was nevertheless one to
studv and to appreciate.

f PAVING OR GRAVEL WHICH? I
Meore the different resideiiiv districts of l,a Grande
jump into the hard surface paving anie, which means a'
bond issue for a long period oi time, would it not be wvll
to consider the new way of la ving a macadam rojid t Nc "w
adiiys the road is laid is such a way that it stands up in
good shape. Very little maintenance w i'!l be needed on the
residence streets and thci-ost w ill be a fourth of what the
hard sunl'ace will be. I'ringtlie street to grade, put in the
curb and lay macadam.' It will be good for many years
and when the time conic? to hard Mi.rface there will be no
