BARONESS TAKAHIRA, WIFE Or THE JAPANESE AMBASSADOR.
The wife of the Japanese ambassador is nn of flu. i.nt .immi ...,...
.u iuuiiikluu. one is niso a great fuvorlte In mx-lely at the capital She A
has traveled extensively and is well nrniialnted with liiMirlv nil tlm l.'ni..iu..ni l.
diplomats. Ambassador Tukalilni and his wife have Riven some of the most

through ths mountains having baan
previously surveyed," says the Walla
Union, "This move would benefit the
several ral roads of thts section of
the country, and it is the opinion of
all who have studied the queitlon
that this wl 1 be the proposed route."
Thli proposed loute Is up Mill
creek, acio:s the Blue Mountains at
an altitude of les than 3000 feat,
down the Wenuha to Troy, and
down the Grande Ronde river to
the Snake, up the latter to Eureka,
and thence a:ross Idaho by the val
ley of the Salmon river. This would
give the Chicago & Northwestern
not only the shortest but the eas
lest grade route that any railroad
has from the Rocky Mountains to the
Pacific Ocean,
The Union tells of the letting ol
the first contracts on the Nortl
Coast extension to Walla Walla, tc
J. J. Mangan, who has charge o
seven miles of perfectly stralgh
track fiom At'a la, "and," the Unlo
goes qu to say, 'it is now though
that beyond a diubt this road ha
as Its object enhance into this va'
ley. As the'r survey crosses the Va
lumbia river in two places, when on
is only naceasary if the road did not
intend to enter tl.is valley, the fad
can be deduced that this city wil
soon be favored with another railroad
One of the proposed bridges of this
company crose the Snake river it
the vlt'lnlty of Lyon's Ferry and a
the height of the structure will bt
276 feet, a heavy grale is eliminated
and double enslne service, such as is
use! on the Alti bill o il of Starhuck
on the O. R. & N., Is e'lmlntaj."

A Simple Business Proposition.
Ah;n a wan decides to sail his farm ir home, or any of his real
estate ho dings It is generally the caia that the sooner such sale
can hi consummated the better. If this is t'le situation it re
solves IUelf into a very slmp0 buslne-is prouosi..lm, viz.: How
can I je- a deil on this in the shortest tl.i.e?
Now thj selling of land l not everybody's buiiness, so It U
i a ural ti go to someone wht makes this hli particular business.
Then the question arises: Where shall I go? Now that is wheia
we come in. We believe that we can make tha assertion with
out contradiction that we are better situated to bring about a
quick sa'o than any one else In the valley.
We know this County from one end to the other; In fact If
there is any piece of deeded land that we do not know we
v,o il:l pay something to be shown." We are in touch with a
consideiable number of prospective buyers whom we are sim
ply holc'ing off till conditions are such that the country can be
se ui to the beit advantage, therefore doesn't It naturally follow
that we should be In a position to do buslnes.4 for you If anyone
tan? We think bo, and If you aro inclined to doubt this, give
us a trl.l. Give us an option on your land and if we don't
make goad there'll be a goad and sufficient reason for our fail
ure. Our orflre is next door to the Post Ofilce. Crop In and pay us
a visit when in town whether we do business for you or not.
You'ra always welcome whether you find us at home or some
where else. Yours very expectantly,
O. R. & I. Company
