Oaw. It is confidently expected that
thoy will develpp a largo and benefi
cial industry. Another qpirblo com
pany will spoq orgaqie,
Wallowa sepips to ho a land of ex
citement rqot over ono, till another is
up. 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.
