tion
Enterprise, Oregon
WILL RUN EXCURSION
TO MINAM AND LAKE
From La Grande Star.
The representatives of four orders
of railway employees who returned
yesterday from Joseph were not very
favorably Impressed with the Idea
of running the excursion to Joseph
because the picnic ground is five
miles from the end of the track
and that means a long day with the
round trip of 160 miles by rail.
There are some very fine camping
places along the Mlnam and there
tome of the men wanted to go. They
recognized, however, the strong de
sire of the Joseph people to have
the excursion come there and a com
promise was sought. .
Last night the representatives of
the men met with J. H. O'Nell, trav
eling passenger agent, and It was
agreed to run a "split" excursion to
Mlnam and Joseph. The rate to Ml
nam is to be $1.50 and to Joseph
$2.50 for the round trip. The date
agreed on la June 20,
It Is planned to make a long day
pf it and not leave Joseph till after
6 O'clock. The Joseph people will
provide teams for the five-mile drive
to the picnic grounds and return.

The line will continue to be operat
