The WallOwa and Union Mail Route.

AUG :" aIOWa ana Union Mail Route
The Mountain Seminal, published
at Union Oregon at the head of Grand
Ronde valley, copies the petition OF
the citizens of.this section relative to
establishment or change of mail route
between this place and the Wallowa
valley, making such alterations as are
suited to the signatures Of the people Of
Grand Ronde valley, and urges the
people to sign it. 1t says:
"In this connection we publish peti.
tlon that is being extensively circula-
ted in the vicinity of Lewiston, and
throughout Idaho, asking the estab-
lishment Of mail route from Union
via. Wallowa to Lewiston.
The Importance of supplying North
ern Idaho direct from this point with
mail facilities, Ind accommodating the
people of Grand Ronde, Indian and
Wallowa valleys soon, with the oppor.
tunity to be placed in connection with
the outside world, will at once present
Itself to the mind of every citizen of
Unionl county.
Much interest is being manifested in
this Important matter by the people of
Northern Idaho; and a private letter
received by us from A. Leland ESQ.,,
OF the Lewiston TELLER, assures US
that the people of that section will
build first-class wagon road from Low
iston to the summit of Grand Ronde
canyon on the Wallowa side, including
the building of a substantial bridge
across Grand RoAde river. This
would enable our citizens in Wallowa
to transport their products to Snake
river, and . good road from here to |
Lewiston would soon be travelled by a
Tally line Of stages. We hope eyery

citizen of Union county will take suth-
cicnt interest in this matter to sign the
accompanying petition, which We pub
lish so as to enable persons to cut 1t out
and attach it to blank paper suitable
for neutrality-suspicious.. When signed,
forward it to us anytime within the
next four weeks and we will see that
they are placed before the proper de-
partment.
We are glad to learn that the Senti-
nal appreciates the Importance Of this
route and is ready to aid in securing
service upon the same. There is no
more practicable route, and ono that
would be more serviceable to the peo-
pie, now destitute of service.

Palouse, but borders the desert and
sage brush land lying in proximity to
and east of the Columbia. The great
Palouse farming country would be as
much tributary to the road, if built
along the Clearwater and Snake rivers,
as if built direct from Spokane falls to
mouth of Snake river. Now we pre-.
tend to say, that via the Clearwater
route from Missoula after leaving the
settlements in the Bitter root valley,
the road will not proceed west to ex-
coed IS miles before it will reach the
good lands for settlement. Those rs
miles east of Kama will be timbered to
be sure, but with timber of the best
quality and easy of access to the road
and when the road reaches west as far
as point rs miles east of Kama. it
will have rich wheat lands bordering on
both sides for the entire distance till it
reaches the sage brush and sandy land
near the Columbia river. We don't
affirm that we don't know in this mat
ter, and hence we urge the Clearwater
route as the best for the Company, and
the best for the people of the whole
country. But you say branch will be
needed. We don't deny that at some
future day, and that not far off tribu-
tary road will be required to run
through the Palouse valley to better
accommodate the settlers. The same
will be required If the Spokane route
become the main trunk. But it will
lot be in the days of the present gen.
grafton that the natural products of the
spokane plains or the country thence
eastward to the Pen dOrille lake, will
i'd much to the local traffic of rail.
Dad; not that there is no good land
here, but that it is very limited in
uantity. There is much good timber
bout the lake which may conduce to
he traffic and when you have said that
GU have said the most that can be
aid in favor Of that route. We have
OF overdrawn the facts in the main.

iowa, the Lewiston TELLER hopes that th(
more direct route by the Clearwater will be
taken rather than the circut;ous one by
Pen dOrille lake. The direct route, /,
says, would be shorter by 1875 miles, with
easier grades. Should that route be taken
n northern branch would be necessary to
accommodate the country north to the Pen
dOrille lake.-Oregonian.
The above tacitly admits that the
Clearwater route would be the best for
the main trunk of the N. P. r. r., but
then it suggest the necessity of branch
to the Pen d'Orille lake. Suppose we
adipit this necessity, it then does not
destroy our theory of the main route
and its advantages Let us look at the
map Of the present route via the Pen
dOrille. Starting at Missoula and
coming west to the Columbia. Leaving
Missoula it makes northing of over a
degree or about 90 miles, passing on
the north side of the Pen d'Orille lake,
and then turns towards the Columbia
and makes southing Of over two de-
grees or about $50 miles before il
reaches the Columbia three miles above
mouth of Snake river, the initial point
in the present survey Of the Pen
dOrille route. Now if the Clearwater
route be taken from the same point.
Missoula, you make only about a half
degree, or 35 miles southing to reach
the mouth of Snake river, and no north
ing at all only with the bends of the
rivers which vary but little from a due
west course. The mouth Of Snake
river is five degrees west of Missoula,
and allowing in that latitude 80 miles
to degree we have $50 miles, making
the base Of the triangle formed and
with the southing, as IS miles, the hy-
pothenuse or air line distance between
Mlssoula and mouth of Snake river is
little over 256 miles. But in making
she northings and southings on the other
route, the first 80 miles and the second
100 miles two triangles are formed,
the hypothenuse of the first or road
line is 1877 miles and that of the second
IS III mics, and these added gives us I
354 miles via Pen d'Orille lake, from
Missoula to mouth of Snake river. al. I

giving then the Clearwater route the ,
advantage in distance of SO miles. But s
the windings of the Pen d'Orille route {
are far greater than those of the Clear p
water and will increase the excess of
distance by full 80 miles in order to Sb- t

The four votes Of Florida should be
counted for HAYES. This Is the decision
which was given by the Electoral Commits
sion last evening, and which will to-day be
sent TO the joint convention Of both Houses
OF Congress. The vote stood TO 7, BRAD
LEY voting with the majority; and 50 it was
O strict party vote on both sides.
What is the next step in the Florida casc2
That Is indicated In the Electoral law,
which provides that, when the Electoral
Commission shall give its decision in any
case submitted TO IL, the two Houses Of Con-
gress shall again meet; the decision shall be
read, and the counting Of the votes shall
proceed in conformity Herewith, unless
upon objection made thereto In writing, by at
least five Senators and five members of
the House of Representatives, the two
Houses shall separately concur in or
de-ing otherwise; in which case such
concurrent order shall govern. II is further
provided that when the two Houses separate
to decide upon any objection to n decision Of
the Commission, each Senator and Repre-
sentative may speak to such objection for
ten minutes and not oftcner than once I;
but after. such debate shall have lasted two
hours it shall be the duty Of each House
to put the main question without further
debate.
These provisions clearly mark out the
proceedings Of to-day, in the course Of which
final action will be taken upon the Florida
case. To secure reversal Of the decision
OF the Commission, the two Houses would
have to separately concur.
