report ef the majority OF yonr commit

city OF North Yakima are ample aud
aaiasient for capitol grounds, and for
the removal Of the records aBd books IN

are free to admit thzt there ara some
/ very strong reasons Why the present
should DOT Be TIE permanent site of the
capital, and thar there sgs s0me good
onts Why tie city Of North Yakima
should be the aite at present, ita geo
araphicai location, is pnss1ion with ref
eEence 10 eastern ard western divisions
OF the taFKlt8Fy, and It's location with
reference 70 lines OF railroad nos
constructed are all in les favor; bui
thsss same c5nditi0ns exist aud argue
iuss as strongly 10 favor OF other citie1
10 the territory. We eannot zee bat
that the conditions surrounding The
city Of EllensburR are equally favora-
bls 70 the conditions surrounding the
city OF North Yakima. Ia facs all tAe
geographical reasons advanced for the
removal, ell the reasons based up0n the
centre Of population and the convent
ence arising to the liabilities OF the
two great divisions OF the taEritofy and
all the reasons advanced based upon
lines Of travel already established VIII
apply Just as strongly 10 favof OF the
removal Of this capital 10 a point imme-
diately west Of the mountains as 20 4
