Work has begun on the foundation tor Burnaugh & Mayfleld's stone wareroom. Rondowa is the official name of John Anthony's town at the mouth of the Wallowa river, known here tofore as River Junction. The name has something of a Spanish-Indian sound, but it is in reality a coinage from the name3 of the two rivers Grande Ronde and Wallowa. . The name was suggested by Engineer H. A. Brandon, who had charge of ths construction of the Wallowa branch. Konaowa will become a postoffice with Mr. Anthony as postmaster. He has forwarded his bond to the post office department and is dally expect ing the arrival of his commission. The townsite is in this county, east of the Grande Ronde river and north of the Wallowa and of the railroad track. Several small buildings have been erected, in one of which An thony has a stock of groceries and another is a hotel. Whether the new name is bettor than the old Is a matter of opinion and so far it is mostly Anthony's business as" he constitutes a clear majority of the population. How ever, the old name, River Junction, expressed the location and sounded busy-like you could almost bear the noise of boiler shops, foundries, etc.; whereas the new name expresses nothing but an euphonious roll. Mr. Anthony W quoted as saying ihe petition for the po 'toffice had 284 signatures, and that It is ex pected that this postoifice will be come the distributing point for the mail for Promise and Grossman in Wallowa county. There are several farming locali ties adjacent to this place and Ron dowa will become the railroad supply point for the same. A few days ago a meeting was held by those inter ested and the sum of $2000 was sub scribed in money, material and labor for the construction of a wagon road toward Promise and Grossman. , GROUSE FARMERS SELLING LIVESTOCK Complete Concrete Work This Week Warehouse Ready For Wool in Am ple Time Shaniko High Prices.
