A bridge will be built to span the
Grande Ronde river, and there will be
number of bridges cross the Wal
Iowa river on the last forty miles OF

Completion of the road will. it is
said, be followed Immediately by great
development in Wallowa county, not
only in the agricultural and livestock
industry, but along industrial lines.
The Wallowa river is swift running
stream and in many places falls of
from fifty to 100 feet can be secured
by fiume or ditch 400 feet long. II
is an ideal place for factory plants
that require water power or electric

Transportation facilities are all
that are lacking to secure development
of vast marble deposits near Joseph.
1t is said there are two mountains Of
the marble that will now find mar

The dairying will become leading

to it exists except transportation tc

Arguments of the demurrer against
the indictments charging former
State Representative Willard N.
Jones, T. S. Potter, and others of
conspiracy to defraud the government
of public lands was heard before
Judge DeHaven today.
1t is practically conceded by the
prosecution that the indictment was
not all it should be, and it is under
stood that the demurrer will be sus-
tanned tomorrow. The contention of
the defense is that the indictment
fails to describe the nature of con-
spiracy with which the defendants
are charged.

susceptibility Of WIdowers,

A widower is q tame animal and
stands without tying. No woman can
scare him. He Is overconfident and
that is his great weakness. He has
been through it all and is not to be
caught a second time. He feels i'm
pervious to the approaches of woman
in any form or guise. The widow finds
him really a rather knotty problem.
He presents difficulties that are who'll
ly absent in a man who has never
felt the matrimonial halter draw. He
looks upon the widow with amused in
difference. But young and attrac-
tive woman who has never been mar
ried quickly arouses his sympathies
He, in nine cases out Of ten, shows
remarkable endurance Of her siege
Of his heart. and we all know that 1t Is
but step from endurance to pity and
thence to embraces. His doom Is
