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.
