LOOT QF THE FORESTS A Walia Waila-Wallul« Railroad The farmers anti business men ot Walla Walla county, according to .1 recent news dispatch, are planning to build a railroad between Walla Walla and Wallula, on the Columbia river, by next spring The farmers are taking the lead. They have a cooperative union up there, at a re cent meeting ot wlych plans for this project were adopted. It is proposed that after the harvest am fall seeding are over, several hun dred tampers shall turn to this job with their teams and grade the line. Right of way and a franchise have already been secured, Many farmers up there are wealthy, and w ilh other moderate capitalists can supply the necessary funds, This road would yould occupy the route tra- veisciRby by the old P.aker Baker railroad, the first one built in that region, and which helped to . make its builder and owner very wealthy. This seems likf an entirely feasi ble and thoroughly worthy enter prise. This strip of railroad would bring Walla Walla and all its rich immediately surrounding country into direct, close connei lion with the Columbia river and the boats of the Open river association that are to be put thereon. l he farmers,could ■wn and opt r*l** this road and practically fix their own freight rates. At least they would get the benefit of water transportation for their products from Wallula to the sea. So would merchants and their customers for merchandise. The road could scarcely • fail to do a large business, and to be a payirig investment at low freight rates. It would save and make for the peo ple up there millions, eventually, says the Portland Jdurnal. It might be a good thing for farmer's and ■iMismess nlen all along the line.be- t ween here and I Irani to take up a proposition of this kind, if.Harriman does not “get busy” pretty soon.
