TINE STAMPEDE PASS.
Kittitas Localizer.

This is the pass that has been selected
by the North Pacific Railroad as the
most suitable one for the company's use.
1t is north of the Green river pass and
south of the Snoqualmie. The gradients,
it is said. are easy, and the approaches
from both sides are gradual. At the
west end of the tunnel the mountain is
quite abrupt, and in order to get q fifty
foot grade the survey runs twice around
butte in front of the tunnel and then
descends without difficulty to Green
river. Near said stream there are some
five or more hot springs, tOlerably close
together, and distant from the railroi ID
several hundred yards. This route, We
have been told, is by far the most favor
able for the passage of the road of any
that has been surveyed in that interest.
While the survey WAS progressing over
this route an incident occurred that
gave the name to the pass. 1t was at
one time called by one surveying party
the Garfield pass, and for q brief space
Of time it was known by that aame, but
the narrator. composing one of the sur
veying party, informed US that there
were a number of men employed to pack
supplies for the Surveyors, as they pro-
crossed along the line OF the survey,
through the brush aud over the difficult
part of the route. where pack animals
were not available. Over these packers
was placed boss who was distasteful to
the party by his gruffness and overbear-
ing disposition. After bearing and for
bearing a number of days with his
naughty imperiousness they all deserted
him and the surveying party; in other
words they stampeded in body, and
left the surveying party to get along as
best they could without them. Hence
the name Stampede.
The wagon road through portion of
the mountains runs near the line of the
railroad, which will be utilized by the
railroad company in the construction of
their road. Thus the company will re-
ceive the first benefit of the wagon road,
which may be regarded as handmade
in its construction.
