Wh'.'.e County Assessor Miller has not run up the to'als on the assess ment rolls, he estimates from the increases on difierent classes that the total valuation will run over $8,000,000 and passibly pass the eight and a half million mark.

The basis of assessment of timber p.uos is the same as laat year, ilOOO per quarter, but there Is an ncrease in total amount as nany claims, wsra patented during he 12 months.

About 300 people went to La Grande from this valley Thursday on the special train provided for Wallowa Day at the La Grande fair. Over half of tha number boarded the train at Enterprise. Agent But ner sold 152 tickets to La Grande for the special train and 20 for the regular train Thuisday morning. The Joseph Herald reports 52 sold at the Joseph station, and the Wallowa Sun says fully 75 people went from there, although but 48 tickets were reported sold by the Wallowa agent. Eighteen tickets were "sold at Los tine. The Joseph Herald says there were 52 tickets so.d at the station there, "more than were sold at all the other Wallowa county towns com bined." This was evidently one of Editor Shutt's Jakes as there were three times as many tickets sold at Enterprise as at Joseph. " The excursionists spent a pleasant day and returned with only words of pralsj for (he .fair., The exhibits of agricultural and horticultural prod ucts, were" large and . of excellent quality, There were no Wallowa county exhibits to speak of, due to lack of organize! effort in this sounty by anyone representing the fair.

They add from 120 to $500 an acre to asrinultural land, espec ially in the state of Oregon, where they make fruit shipments! possible. In California irrigation canals cost ing many millions have been con structed In this manner. The con struction of railroads by bonding the lands benefited and keeping the enor mous values thu3 created in the hands of the people owning the land instead of In the hands of Wall street speculators may seem a little startling, but If the people are will ing to let any rallroadless district try it perhaps it may be a way out of pajing dividends on watered stock or doing without transport a tJo1.

Indica tions of a sabstintlal kind point t the building of a fourth transconti nental line from the Twin ClUes tc the Fabric Coast In the near future. This new coimt line will be an ex tension of the Minneapolis & 8t. Loulst Word cornea from Lebeau, S. D. he present western terminus, thai 0. D. Sloan, locating engineer, has ean oidered to proceed at once vlth a survey across the Cheyenne teservatlon to" the Montana line A'hlle the Minneapolis & St. Louis officials here will not discuss the natter, it believed In well Informed ;ircles that Uils evidences an Inten Jion on the part of the Hawley inter ests to build through to the coast. There has. been great activity all ilo.ig the Minneapolis & St. Loult lnce the new management took charge. Both Edwin Hawley, chair man of the board of directors,, and .P: fcihoats, "president of the road; ire known as aggressive railroad Guilders. Mr. Hawley now controls Ae, dliempeake & Ohio, Chicago Cin cinnati & St. Louis., iowa Central, ind JUnnearo U & St. Louis. Thus ie rulos a systen extending from the Atlantic to western South Dako a. and it ia only natural that he ihoald seek to extend this Bystem icrosa the continent. A3 one official of the Minneapolis a St. Loals stated recently, Mr. Haw ey seems des'dned to inherit Har iinan's mantle. Judging from his present activities, Kdwin Hawley, owner of the M. & St. L. and other railroads aggregat lug nearly C000 miles of trackage !s s.aid to be the coming railroad king. He is the only man that evei beat Ilnrriniun at the latter'a own same, and he wrested the Chicago & Alton from Haniman. He has the support of big capitalists and is one of the few men who could put up the mllMons that Strahorn has been sending on the North Coarrt road, and Wall Btreet be dn the dark as to where the money came from.
