Trains Expected to Reach Wallowa
by September 20.
Wallowa.—Trains will be running
on regular schedule into this city on
September 20. Such is the announce
nient made by II. II. Weatherspoon,
agent for the <). R. & N. at Elgin,
who received the information from the
leadquarters of the company last week
and such are the instructions received
by Engineer Brandon, of the con
st ruction department.
Great progress has been made by
the tracklaying crew the past few
weeks, and the road has emerged from
the Wallowa canyon and entered the
Wallowa valley.
lor months the
road has been building through a
winding canyon, between crags, along
a picturesque mountain stream that
will render it one of the most scenic
bits of road in the state.
Progress naturally has been slow’
for nearly all the rails have been laid
on curves and had to be bent. Many
bridges, culverts and trestles have
been necessary, and the roadbed has
needed much repair For more than
twenty miles this work has been fol
lowed until the track reached the val
ley.
______ _
Line Nearly Completed.
La Grande Regular traffic into
Wallowa county over the newly con-
strncted Wallowa county extension
will begin September 21 according to
a statement from headquarters, but
this event will be preceded by a pop-
• ular excursion on the 20th, when the
O. R. & N. will run excursion trains
to Wallowa from here. This will in-
augnrate the service. The track lias
now b en laid to Wallowa town, the
construction reaching that point to-
night.

Roseburg. — If Harriman will not
agree to take action on the Coos Bay
Drain road, at the forthcoming con
ference between the railroad king an< d
the delegation of Coos Bayans «a at
Roseburg, negotiations will be openei :d
with the several capitalists who are
anxious to finance an electric lint

The conditions are such that «any
"urther development of the Coos Bay
ountry and dependent coast points
will be retarded unless a road is as
sured.
The Coos Bay people have named
the following committee of business
men to attend the meeting here: C

son. C. J. Mills and W. P. Evans,
with J. E. Oren and W. H. Powers as

Water Big Tract.
Grants Pass. — Arrangements and
plans for the building of a huge irri-
gatin g canal, which will take its water
from Hogue, river, just above the
(■olden Drift company’s dam, and
water over 12,000 acres of arid lands
above and below (¡rants Pass have been
made, and construction work will soon
begin. Tired of waiting for outside
capital to become interested in the
project, and upon the government for
aid, loci] business men, ranchers and
fruitgrowers have decided to build the
big canal themselves.

'(instituted fire brigade that struggled
fiercely all day yesterday and late

gave the army of fighters chance to
rest after their strenuous work.
Hibbing. Nashwauk, Buhl, Color

considered doomed during the greater

wind from any direction will fan the
lames into a renewed menace.
The Duluth fire department re
ceived a telegram from the depart

mcc, and Chief Black, with a num
ber of men and an engine, left Du
luth shortly after 4 o’clock for the
scene of the fire. The Mesaba road
has trains in waiting at Hibbing to
take the people away from the scene
of danger.
