SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2e, 1901
BEST YEARS TO COME.

This has been year of wonderful
progress in Wallowa county, yet the
progress is only beginning. With an
area larger than some Eastern
states, magnificent resources in agri.
culture, fruit, live stock, timber,
mines and water for both irrigation
and power barely touched, the most
enthusiastic real estate agent cannot
color too highly the future devei-
opment.
All these great but la-3lt riches
were awaiting the magic of modern
transportation. 1t has come too
, late this fall to affect the record of
1908, but is here ready to work the
transformation in 1909. The pio-
neers who came to this favored land
will or should reap the choicest
grain of the golden harvest of devel-
opment, but there are thousands of
splendid opportunities here for new
rLtlers and es.ecially for invest
ors. Land, mines and forests, now
urta ed, will prove veritable bo,
nanza when capital and labor begin
the work of development.
So while 1908 has been so far the
banner year in Wallowa county, the
years to come will far surpass it.

NEED A BRIDGE.

The Bartlett correspondent in this
paper notes that on Thursday, De-
cember 10, no mail was received at
that office as the ferry on which the
mail carrier crosses the Grande
Ronde river, was not in operation be-
cause OF ice in the stream. Not only
Bartlett, but Grouse, Troy and the
entire Garden of Eden country suf-
fered an impairment of their already
poor mail service.
1t is rare Of course for the ferry
to be PIT out of commission by ice,
but high water and accidents help to
Isolate that great region from com.
municatlon with the rest of the coun.
y, and as the correspondent says
1t is too bad there is no bridge The
big rich county of Wallowa can well
afford to build free bridge across
the Grande Ronde river at Troy, or
in that vicinity.

their pledges and vote against the

taken to their hoes, and If they had
any sense of shame or decency they
would pull the holes in after them.
The declarations of two honest men

pretty small. Governor Chamberlain
will probably be elected senator with

Cnited States Circuit Court OF Appeals
handed down a decision to the effect
that the slayer of Stanford White can
not be taken TO Pittsburg to testify

The decision aHirms the action

The New York State authorities have
