AH the niarblo and silver ledges in tho yoi'hl could not attract tho attention of a common Wajlowan just qow, since the incorporation of tho Wallowa Can yon Tpll Road Cp.,' and wo think the Wallowa is justly indignant for porspns to incorporate a county road simply because a hill stands on each side. They could not have had any other reason. Aerial Kqully, If the utterances of tlo Clilcftnn nro to be taken au an indication of tho popular sentiinent, the people of the W'allowa are decidedly opposed to a toll road of any kind through tho canyon in fact will not allow it to bo established. Ono writer very significantly remarks that some tochnlcaU ity in the law, tuny give It to tho incorpo rators, but in case it does, thore is a erudo sort of justice floating around, kind of proiniscoits lko, in tho Wallowa iitmos. phere, that will bu appealed to, and ho thinks t will provo effectual, Taking everything into consideration wo don't believe wo would like to fool too much with (hose atmospheric courts, and whilo wo would not object lo having a nice little toll roud propci ty, wo would rather some ono else would tend the gato, Wo would look at U about like the Irish engineer of a steam saw mill who was knooked down one day by a IhHi of lightning. A brother Disunion ptoked him up, and remarked, "lie jastis, Pat, wouldn't that lightnin' bo a niosht ilegant power to run a stamo saw mill widV" "Vis," said Pat, rubbing himself ruefully, "It would bo foinu enough, but tho dlvil might tind the lnjlno-l wouldn't," Hut to look at this matter seriously, it seems to us that a great deal of undue c.vcitotnont has been indulged in. The validity of Hio claim sot up by tho Iucor porators can only bo decided by law, and if tho county court or the peoplo of Union comity wish to coutost tlto same, they must co It in the proper courts, In a conversation with one of tho Incor porators, yostorday, ho informed us that tho company Incorporated this .toll road because they had a perfect logal right to do so, and if they hud not done so, other parties would. That thoir object is to hold this pass against a projected railroad and not to collect trlbuto from tho. peoplo of Wallowa, If tho Wullowans prefor to travel on tho road tho way it is now, and not pay toll, it is all right, bat if they profer to have tho road kept in good con dition, and pay toll to tho amount of 2-1 coats for ouch team, thoir wishes will' bo. t regarded, That the incorporators aro indlll'erent as to which course they pursue, but will hold tho road in any event. Monroo correspondence, Ponton Leader: Ono night last week three unknown cowards fired over twenty shots through tho tents of some Chi namen engaged in clearing land for a ton chuapcr than tho miners of Washington territory, on account of Mr. C. E. Nicholson, three miles west of town. It is needless to state that tho two Chinamen who felt the bullets tearing away throngn various parts of their blouses were frightened, for that is expressing it mildly. A moro cow ardly attempt at asgassination has uover been attempted m these parts. Many say: "Thoy are only China men." Truo, that's all thoy aro: but in the opinion of tlioso who uphold the laws' of our government thoy are much better, and a greator bonofit to any community, than citizens(?) who will rosort to such means to get nd of them.
