WALLowA LAKE, Aug. 24.

WALLowA LAKE, Aug. 24. |
For the LEADER.
Some years ago, and by some
years l mean six or seven, l read
an inviting, indeed an enchanting
account of the wonders and pictur-
esque beauties of the Wallowa
Lake and the perilous horrors of
the almost interminabls Wallowa
Canyon. The aforesaid account in.
gratrated itself into my confidence
and by reason of the character of
the party by whom it was rendered,
it left such an impression on my
mind that time nor distance had
not dimmed it. The beauty of the
Wallowa River can hardly be ques-
toned by the crustiest Of sight
seekers; it runs its crystal waters
over a rocky bottom with decliv-
ity of fifty feet to the mile. He
who has acquired the art of fishing
is captured by its possibilities for
real sport. The high banks and
rocky hills which enlock the limpid
waters of the Wallowa River, are
indeed rugged and precipitous and
for nine miles are a source of won
der and labor to travel over. This
is the only toll road in the county
and the toll will likely be removed
before many months are over. The
+ route through the lower, middle
and upper Wallowa valleys, for a
distance of forty miles, at this sea
son of the year when hay is being
0 made and the golden harvest being
cut, is delightful to the eye and

In the Wallowa valley there are
probably two thousand inhabitants
and it contains an area Of perhaps
one thousand square miles. The
health of the valley is unrivalled.
In the whole valley there is only
one drug store, one doctor, and one
saloon which is not paying ex-
penses. The people of Lostine will
no. permit a saloon in their pre-
cinct. This is local option. If
this spirit of common prudence
shall always obtain sway in the
beautiful Wallowa valley the pro-
gress and happiness OF it's people
cannot be doubted. TOURIST.

of Mrs. Amanda Nevins the wife of we'll
TODD Parke county farmer, by criminal

CATION of Dr. Rice it charged in the damage suit

in 1884, and acquitted, the evidence tending to
show that the operation performed on Mrs. Nevins
was necessary to save her life. Taylor, in the

quittal he instituted suit against DR. Rice for dam
ages to the amount of $50 600, for malicious PROSE
cution. There nearly hundred witnesses
