It appears Hint tho wiion road lending from Pino Vsillcy lo Cornuco pia, u distance of six or eight miles, is in a very bml condition, so iniieh fo, in fact that it is impossible! fur tenuis loaded willi heavy mining machinery to pais. Ah the road now runs, it rropsi'H 1'ino creek a nuinber of times, nnil the bridges are in a dilapidated and unsafe 'jondition, and are liable . at any tiino to be washed away by the high waters that occur at t lii 3 season of the year. This is a source of great jinnoynneo and delay to the miners there, and particularly to the Oregon Cold Mining Company, who would -take an immense amount of machin ery in at this tiino if it could be done. Mr. Luco. the superintendent of this company has been trying for some time to get a road built between those two places, entirely on the east side of i'inc creek, which is the best loea tion for the road as it would obviate every difficulty now encountered, lie .has offered on behalf of the company to donate $oOO. to the building of the road, Spioviding the county will stand in and sec it completed. He seems somewhat aggrieved at the slow action of the court in thia inalter, The fol lowing letter from him, written to 3). V. Moore, road supervisor of that district will explain itself. Although 3t(is a private letter we will no doubt. 1)6 excused for publishing it: Cornucopia, March 27, 1887. Dj:ak Mtt: Your favor of the '20th Inst , was received enclosing a letter from wiidge Goodall.

Hut it must ho well understood by yourself and others that it does not ' apply to any other road. 1 am very sorry 'that, thu county has not vol recognized our road ns county properly, n the delay in pulling it in shape will be a cause of suspension in the pulling up of our mill. 1 have once delayed the thip $ incut of the machinery from Chicago, and this to the dissatisfaction of the company and mill builders. J will not be surp-ised if on account of all thu obstacles brought in our way, the company decides to send the mill to Idaho ami slop operations in Oregon at. least until more facilities and &ood will are offered to serious and Jionest investors.

Our friend MiCully, one of t;:i!i 1 county's representatives at tl.e recent legislature, from that portion that is now Wallowa county . not only sr.c- etcdedin his efforts at division, but' got big bill pnMcri including several ! provisions extrchieiy favorable to th new county, more, wc arc inclined to think than should have been gnnt- cu. uur reproFeniativcs inero no doubt considered it correct or they uotild not liiivc fMidomed il. and us it, and as they did not iee lit to send the news papers of the county, which are pre eminently the guardian of the peo ple's intrrcst a copy of the hill, neith er they or the people at large knew what the bill contained, before it was passed, and could not, therefore crit icise it. One section is as follows: Sep. . The county clerk of Union county shall 5nd to thu county clerk of Wallowa county . within thirty days after this Act becomes a law. a certi fied transcript of all dciiiuptcul taxes from the assc-smcnt roll of IWiU.that were assessed within the limits of said Wallowa county, also a certified tran script of the iiKsc.vincut of persons and property within the limits of Wal lowa county, for lUHO, and the said taxes shall be payable to the proper officer of Wallowa county. lor, inasmuch as the affairs of Wallowa were carried on at the ex pense of Union county during the year lM'ti, and several months in 1887, it would s.ee.nt to be nothing more than ri'dit that tne (axes should bo (laid (o Union county. Wo knew nothing of it at the time when u ven tilation of this matter would have had effect, and it is a little too late to growl about it now.
