TRAIN RUMORS.
The construction work on the Wal
lowa county railroad as far as Los
tine is completed and will be turned
over to the operating department to
day. Engineer Brandon has moved
all five gangs of men, numbering in
all 220, to this side of Lostlne and
will complete the work through to
Joseph within six weeks. A work
train brought a surfacing gang ol
50 to Enterprise, Thursday; and e
gang of 30 went on to Joseph, toui
miles below town is a gang of 40,
while another gang of 30 will be
brought up from below Sunday. The
fencing gang of 40 are four miles
UiU s.de of Lostlne.
There Is no official authority foi
tha rumor that a passenger service
will be started oa May 24, although
the track Is in condition for fast
time so a train could easily make the
round trip In a day. It develops there
will be considerable opposition to a
strictly passenger train If It should
mean the cutting down of the freight
service to a trl-weekly basis.
The La Grande papers say a mall
car will be put on the branch train
in the near futu.re

The line from Bartlett to Flora
was built and is owned by the fann

the material and hired an experi

intend its erection. J. W. Macau
ley, a prosperous Grouse farmer, in
town on Jury duty, says mutual com
panies in Asotin county are seeking
a connection with their line, and it
Is desired to have a direct line to En
