THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1908 PASSING OF THE OLD WALLOWA The coming of the railroad meant the passing of the old Wallowa. The very name will change and "th Wallowa" become Wallowa count) to our generous and friendly though Inexact neighbors In Union. When the twelve hundred excur sionists mingled with the crowd of Wallowa county people in the beau tiful grove, Sunday, Identity of loca tion was lost. Unless you knew the person you knew not whence he came. This may have surprise! some of the good people from L: Grande, who took literally the re mark of a La- Grande paper that the excursion was "into the wilds of the Wallowa." How a few miles of distance shrinks and shrivels sorai minds! The excursion was a splendid af fair and something besides enjoy ment was gained by both hosts am guests. To the outside world that visited this county in the days now almost past, there was only one visible sign of the lso'.ation of "the Wal lowa," and that was the primitive form of communication between the "outside" and this beautiful valley. It was indeed fitting that the first passenger train should meet in th. canyon the last stage coach fron Elgin, and the stage deserved thi cheers bo royally given it. For bi it known, that like everything els pertaining to "the Wallowa," th stage line, by the testimony of drum mers, and there are no more com petent critics, was the best In Ore gon or the entire Northwest. That need not be forgotten in this day of its humiliation when the iron horsi has put it down and almost out. And who will forget those Canyoi House dinners? There are photo graphs of the stage in its full glor; of six horses and all the womei passengers In the best seats beside Billy Wright or Hilly Arnold, and all the men passengers Inside on th' express and baggage. There are photos of the picturesque Canyo. road and the silvery meeting of thi Mlnam and the Wallowa. But there are pictures also memory picture of those dinners in the Canyon the like of which will ne'er be found elsewhere on earth; the recollectlo of which will endure while there re matneth one person living who par took of that dally banquet, and when the last one Is gathered like Chle Joseph, to hla fathers, the fame ol the dinners will become a pleasan legend that our children's chlldrei will repeat with ever Increasing fic tion frills until Lucullus' dust will become as grass from pure envy.
