Walmla'h Pkosi'ects. Wallula, which has always been looked upon as simply a railroad junction in a desert, ig com ing to the front. The construction of Hunt's railroad from that jioijit to Walla Walla, by the way of Eureka Flat, and the building of the branch line of the O. K. & N. Co. in the game direction, added to the recent completion of the road south westward into Umatilla county, makes Wallula the junction of six lines, belonging to four distinct companies. This, alone, will add much to the jopulation and value of property. There is, however, another resource. The lack of water is all that renders the soil of that locality unproductive, and this defect it is projtoHcd to remedy by constructing irrigating ditches from Snake and Walla Walla rivers. As a great railroad junction ami the center of a considerable agricultural population, Wal lula muHt necessarily largely increase its present projortions. Montana Stock Shipments.
