East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1904-10-15

The East oregonian does not be-
lieve that the Grant county cattle
men who have been asked to pay a
part of the great damage they did to
Umatilla county roads by driving
1900 head of cattle along the grades,
have a just grievance against Una
tilla county road supervisors for ask
ing damages. This immense drove of
cattle rolled all the loose stones from
the mountain side into the wagon
road. rendering the road almost i'm
passable for teams at places. There
are now hundreds of teams from the
interior-driving toward Pendleton
for winter supplies. Most of the
owners OF those teams are residents
and taxpayers of Umatilla county.
and come here regularly and leave
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
the city. These Grant county cattle
men come here perhaps once year.
