FROM THE PEOPLE
THE WESTON -ELGIN ROAD
WESTON, Oreu July Is,

WESTON, Ore, July Is, 1872:
Editor East Oregonian:
While attending the Blue mountain
road meeting at Weston it seemed tt
me that there was one feature miss
ing which might help in bringing
about the construction of the pro-
posed highway from Weston to Ell
gin, and that was an adequate de-
scription of the country through
Which this highway will pass and it's
possibilities.
l am submitting such q description
which l hope you will consider
worthy of publication.
Very respectfully yours,
