Fate of Proposed Road TO
Be Decided This Afternoon

The right of way as laid out at pres
ent, will take the line from Dayton,
through Waitsburg, Walla Walla,
Prescott and TO Wallula, while it is
argued that if the Hill interests gain
control the water grade of the Touchet
river through Touchet and thence to
Wallula will be adopted thus cutting
out the more important business CEN
ters and benefiting the county at large
in comparatively small degree. Two
propositions are up for consideration
by the farmers and business men this
afternoon. one which seems to have
found general favor is for the farmers
union to take hold of the road form
new company and issue stock to the
present company in an amount equal
ing the actual cash outlay in securing
the right-of- way. survey and other
preliminary work. The other plan is
for the farmers union and the present
officers to reach an agreement where
