J - While the poftoftice department lias refused the petition for n daily mail service from Enterprise to Imnaha Bridge, pal rons whose interests will b served have not pivi n up hope and renewed efforts u ill ho made. The Inquire at the News j pet 'tion waa refused on the i rounds tnav we receipts do not Justify the 1 added expense. it is now proposed to asic lor a re arrangement of the Imnaha and Zum- wult star route?, by which a daily mail can be put on with but little additional expense. At present those two routes duplicate, or travel the same road for 19 miles east of Enterprise, or to the south west tide of the Buttes, where the Zum wait route turns north while the Imnaha continues in an easterly direc tion. The change proposed is to dis continue the present Zumwalt stage, and have the Imnaha stage, turn north at the old junction for Z miles to G. W. Neil's place, where a postoffice would be eetabliehed. From there the distance to Imnaha bridge is about the same as from the present junction to the bridge 14 miles. The Zumwalt stage now runs- semi-weekly and the Imnaha stage tri-weekly. Under the new arrangement the semi-weekly Zum walt stage would be discontinued, and its patrons given au every-other-day mail from the Buttes, and the Imnaha stage would run daily except Sunday. The latter route would be lengthened 3)4 miles but run over a better road from the Buttes to the bridge. No families live along the part of the pres ent route that would be abandoned. It is also proposed to extend the present Fruita star route 10 miles farther up the Imnaha to D.L. Butler's, moving the postdllice to the latter point Thos. Bieh, . the Fruita postmaster, is advocating the changes, which he says have the endorsement of the Imnaha postmaster, the' present mail 'carriers and patrons. . The residents on the Imnaha above the bridge now have a poor service, as all their outgoing mail lays over at the bridge at least 30 hours, while the Sat urday mail lays at the bridge until the following Tuesday- The Enterp ie!

A N. bridge across fie Grande Ronde river at the mouth of the Wallowa will bogln April 1,' was the report in lilgiu, Wednesday. Tba authority quoted is an official of tho railroad company who is in a position to know what he is talking about. Many signs point to au early resump tion of work on the Wallowa county extension of tho O. R, & N. The gang of Japanese laborers below Elgin has lately been re-in forced by a lot of dadoes. Engineer R. I. Long, who came through Elgin, Saturday , states a surfacing gang was sent dow n that day to work on the track' between Looking Glass and the mouth of the Wallowa. The presumption is this gang will put the track along there in shape for run ning of construction trains over it. Electrio Eoad Newi. Mr. Long reports the Walla Walla traction company, that is credited with an intention to build over tho Blue j Mountains, down the Wenaha and into the heart of This county, will shortly I give to tho public tho proposed route. From other sources than Mr. Long, the News Record has lean ed the company has made several preliminary survejs or rather ast ertainea probable grades, in the north pint of thM county. Rev. E.

The nomin ating and seconding speeches, 'while spirited, were in good form, und dii ciissiou of the merits of the candidates, while frank, was in good temper. Quite a number of visitors enjoyed the proceedings. Library Meeting Tonight The members of the Euterpiise pub lic library hoard fire requested to meet at tho home of A. C.

There are 160 acres of good plow land, 100 acres of which are under cultivation. The tract was bought by Dr. Seeley of E. A.

The March term of the county court will convene next Wednesday. mm The Dalles Wins Debate. A message from Tho Dalles Tuesday night sail tho det ote had passed off satisfactorily except that two of the judges favored The Dalles and the third Wallowa County High. While the result is a disappointment, the vote shows the members of the local team gave a good account of themselves, and considering they had to change to (he unpopular side of the question, with only a short time for preparation, the showing was very creditable inde J.
