LETTER FROM GARDEN OF
EDEN.
(By Mrs. Adah L. Downing of Wild
Rose Home Farm.)
Troy, April 2. We are having now
the real Garden of Eden weather,
being cool enough to be bracing, yet
warm enough to go without wraps,
and Just right for field plowing, seed
ing and garden making. Everyone
is as busy as a bee, taking advan
tage of this de ightful time.
The naw owners of the old Lewis
place on the Grande Ronde river, at
the foot of Powwatka mountain, have
the place already In cap-a-pie order,
neatly planted to vegetables and prob-,
ably melons. The whole place has
an air of order an! neatness which
iwould do credit to a suburban tract
kept by experts in that line.
The new county road running up
from the Grande Ronde river Is Just
southeast of the Lewis place and
switches back and forth up Powwat
ka mountain at a 10 per cent grade
in full view of most of the Eden
ites, which would look like an easy
trip to Wallowa city or Enterprise,
if the trail from James Downing's
farm down to the river to the ford
(which is only a short distance from
this new county road) was made a
little more passable, which ought
not to be such a task, as two-thirds
of the trail now Is not bad. A few
large boulders at the ford might have
to ue blasted out, or some kind of
a bridge put across; but if the Eden
men would all work together it
would not take such a long time to
connect with the Powwatka moun
tain road, and thereby obtain an eas
ier and better market for their pro
duce than heretofore obtainable.

OFFICIAL STATES NEW SERVICE
WILL BE INSTALLED WITHIN
60 DAYS.
A new train service will be in
branch within 60 days, according to a
branch about Jiay 1, according to a
railroad official who had a great
ileal to do with this branch. He has
stated to a prominent Wallowa coun
ty oificlal that at the date when the
mail car and clerk is put on, that
in all probabi Ity, in fact It was al
ready decided on, to start a passen
ger train which would make a round
trly C.al.y. Tte freight train would
cone !n one Car anl go out the next.
Th s arrangement ii conditional on
.ij track being placed in such order
as to permit of fast running, so the
passenger could make the round trip.
The ballasting and surfacing is pro
ceeding rapidly with a large force of
men at work, and the road will prob
ably be ready to turn over to the
operating department in 60 days.
Nothing was stated whether the
branch train would stop over night
at La Grande or Joseph, but pre
sumably at the former place as that
would bejt expedite the mails. If

1 uiciiU would lay over many hours
at La Grande before being forward
ed either -east or west.

Just the same, mixing exactly the
right proportion of cement, sand,
gravel and water. The power Is fur
nished by a 2-h. p. gasoline engine.
Weather favoring the building will be
j In ample time to store the wool.
A prominent wo lp rower, who ln
.10 stock in the warehouse, said the
other day he would pay to store his
wool In the concrets building In pref
erence to a wooden one for nothing
and then come out ahead, as the ab

house would more than pay for the
jtorage, let aUna the lower insur
