city but said Tuesday night that
he had some bad luck and that
this is postponed. His average
daily load in the Mob Hill sec.

which, I am sure, will meet
most Of the objections we re-
ceived from our constituents;
namely the truck rates were
reduced to an average Of only
10 percent above existing rates,
and with the quarterly permit
system for seasonal operations,
this makes it quite acceptable.
Also, the counties will be given

CROSSING
Nellie Nelson, Walla Walla
Union Bulletin rowing reporter,
> has often discussed the question
OF how the pioneers found their
way over the Blue Mountains. i
those same pioneers could see
those mountains from the air,
they would wonder themselves
Every canyon looks the same,
chowded with timber and steep
inclines. -..
QUESTION
To my mind, no one has ever
answered the "a dollar question
. II those emigrants had already
found the beautiful Baker valley
and the Fearless Grand Ronde
basin, why in tarnation did they
want to continue on to Walla
Walla and the desert land beyond?
