considerable margin.

work of lines. The' consolidation
the Walla Walla Traction and the Ol
eon & Wasliinkton lines at W
Walla and the efforts to secure add
tlonal franchises and right of way
the new company In the direction of
Pendleton Is evidence that this city Is
the objective point of the company.
On next Monday evening the com
nanv present a formal application to
the city council of Weston for a fran
chise to use the streets of that town
and work of securing right of way be
tween Weston and Milton Is being car
ried on constantly.
The Walla Walla Statesman of Mon

company and of its plans for the de
velopment of this section ot Oregon.
Franchise was 'asked from the coun
ty commissioners this afternoon by
the Washington-Oregon Traction com
pany to run their line along the county
road, leaving the city limits at me
ppmeterv and thence along the east
side of the cemetery for half a mile.
Here the line enters the private prop
erty and consent of the county offi
cials is not necessary. The fran
chise will probably be granted.
This Is another step in tne develop
ment of the electric road, the an
nouncement of which was made some
time ago. The backers of the proposi
tion say that work will be begun as
soon as possible and pushed to an
early completion.
It Is to run south to Athena. Wes
ton, "Wallowa. Pendleton and to Bing
ham Springs, rumor says, before It Is
completed. There Is also another well
founded report which says that this
road Is to be merged with the Pome-roy-Asotln-Wallula
rond, which Is In
the preliminary stages of construc
tion. The consideration of this franchise
was the only business of Importance
before the commissioners today.
