Having purchased 20 acres of land on the bluff above the railroad yards at Rieth (Pilot Rock Junction) Messrs orai, Warntck & Humphrey, three La Grande men are planning for opening an addition to provide homes for the railroaders at the t -rnim.il. According to C M. Humphrey, who was here Saturday, the first step will consist in the sinking of a well on the property so as to determine the possi bility of a water supply for the com munity. After water is secured the land will be platted and sold or rented, homes being erected Tor the terminal people. At the present time all the employes at the junction are living in homes im provised from box cars set on side tracks. More than 25 families are llv ing In this manner and the necessity of homes for the men Is becoming pressing. While here the a Grande men ex pressed surprise that Pendleton had not taken more interest In the termi nal and that local people have not ta ken up the task of erecting houses down there. In the belief of Mr. Humphrey quite a few trainmen who do not have to live here, La Grande or Pendleton being optional with them, will move to the new termtna. here if proper homes can be obtained With a good road between Pendleton and the junction these families will be virtually tributary to Pendleton. Most of the employes of this class own au tos, he states. Wheat Weaker One Cent in Chicago CHICAGO, May 29. (Special to the East Oregonian.) Today's range of prices: trpen High.
