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.

Cornucopia, March 27, 1887.
Dj:ak Mtt: Your favor of the '20th

from wiidge Goodall. I have read
them carefully and will say that my
subscription bares only on u new road
from the camp to Dan". Moor's camp,
should the couiitv appropriate iU.'iOO
vr'ij'i.'OtlO to build' raid road. 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 company has

WAS IT EQUITY?
. 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. Wo do not cen

Hie naked eye at prcfout. dust now

merous correspondents t'Mi'.-thoir valua

their friendly interest in the Scout
