TRIP Tt THE NORTH COUNTRY (Continued from last week.) The road from Flora to Troy ha? been greatly improved during the last year. Supervisor Mench has cut down the big trees that ob strut ted the highway in his district; the Tfoy hill grade has been reduced until loads twice as heavy as former ly may be hauled up It, and the cut off at the Yager hill saves both dls tatice and a heavy pull up one hill. There Is room for big Improvement still, (especially in widening the road bed and providing turn-outs on the road alone the canyon side wes from the foot of the Yager hill; also in the top half of the Troy hill. It certainly looks that a bet ter road and grade could be made at the top of the Troy hill and thut avoid the precipitous descent ove the rocks. Speaking of roads, what we have to say at this time may as well be finished in this place. To the New'e Record it seems the time is ripe and the need pressing for some county aid to the road going ui to Grouse from Troy. A few hun dred dollars would materially reduce grades there. That road was one ot the first laid out in that country and the time is approaching Is almos here when It will be a heavily trav eled highway. Right now, it Is the only road that glve3 the prosperouf farmers of Grouse and Bartlett ac cess to the remainder of Wallowe county. There Is a proposition afoot t build another "Troy hill" road up ou' of , Grande Ronde river canyon r few miles above Troy. Without en terlng in the merits or demerits o that particular road, it would seeir full time to stop building roads ui precipitous sides of mountains wher roads of easy grades reaching the same objective points, could be con structed up the - canyons at the same lor. less cost. Every person the wrl ter nas talked to In the North Coun try. who Is acquainted with Courtney, Mud Creek and other canvons run ning up from the Grande Ronde river, says they are practical road ways. Courtney, especially., Is cltee as ; a way provide'! by nature foi egress from the Grande Ronde can yon to the divide running from Wal Iowa Valley on the south to the vvaHnington state line on the north. It Is claimed a Kood waKon road with easy grades, nowhere over f or 6 per cent., can be constructor" irom the Grande Ronde river to oi near Red Fir, for $100 a mile. I this Is true, It would seem the heleh of folly to Bpend thousands of dol lars ;to blast out a ilg-zag up a moun tain side. If the people of Grouse narthstt. Eden. Lo3t Prairie th v&l leys of the Wenaha and Grande rtonae are given an easy grade out let td Red Fir or Sled Springs, they will be nearly equally distant frorr an vvaiiowa valley points, thus serv Ing trie greatest goad to the greatest iiuinuer. (Continual next week.) THREE VICTIMS OF DEADLY TOY PISTOL Elma, Wash., July 14 Two death from lockjaw and a third boy dying as the result of toy pistol wounds on the fourth of July is the record of a week In the state of Washington.

THE WALLOWA COUNTRY COMING INTO HER OWN There was a finely descriptive ar ticle of the Wallowa valley in the Portland Journal of July 19, written by Lulu R. Loretiz of Pendleton. Miss Lorenz, who Is a reporter on the East Oregonian, visited during her vacation several weeks ago. at the Streeter-Bryan camp Just above Enterprise. She was enraptured with the scenery and climate of this val ley, and tells the Journal readers In charming style of its beauty and predicts a great industrial and com mercial future. After reciting the wealth of the county In agriculture livestock and minerals, she closet with the following about the towns which aside from a mistake as tc the kind of building stone used. in Enterprise, and erecting the court house ahead of time, is all true tc facts: "There are nine very enterprls lng citizens living In the towns o Joseph, Enterprise, Wallowa an other towns In the county, most o; he business men in these towns hav lng lived there for years and have grown wealthy In many Instances Enterprise, the countyseat, has Borne of the most beautiful buildings in the state, the courthouse, high school ant other buildings having been con structed from granite which Is found j a short distance from Enterprise, and It is suitable for building purposes.' Quarries of marble, as well as gold and copper mines, all wait the Incoro- j Ing of the railroad, and these towns which will all be on the line of the road, will become centers ot industry and population of Importance to the itate of Oregon."
