the Northern Pacific railway at North |
Yakima and take q survey Of the city. the |
first impression Is that tits not much Of q
town anyway, but stroll along o little |
further into the heart Of the city, among
her substantial business blocks, nicely
shaded streets and good sidewalks, and |
you are met with an air Of prosperity, |
not found in any other city in Washing
ton territory. YoGchange your opinion
at once, and say here is prosperity, here
Is class Of people with some enterprise
about them. These miles Of sidewalks |
stretching offin all directions beyond the
built up part Of the town, and the two
rows Of shade trees on either side Of each
street, watered by clear, fresh water run
ming down the CUTTERS, show that her
enteFprising citizens have not laid out |
city for 22O0 people, but % 1000, which Is
sure to come inside q few years. It has
made q rapid growth. Four years ago
not . house stood on the townsite, but |
the indications point TO a still greater |
prosperity in the near future. The old |
town Of Yakima some four miles south Of |
here had been a trading post for years,
but after the new and more desirable |
townsite Of North Yakima was located
the old town dropped out Of existence,
the few settlers moving bag and baggage
in few days, it being common sight to |
see six and eight

erous OK teams, bound for the new loca- |
ton. Since then fine brick buildings
have taken the place Of some Of the build |
ings moved, while others have sprung up
along side, built on entirely new ground,
until now Yakima has buildings her
citizens can feel proud Of, and as fine as
will beseen in much older cities. Besides
the large number Of shade trees planted
along the miles Of streets, twelve hum
dred additional trees, mostly maple and |
locust, are being planted, and In q few |
years the streets will be one vast boule-
ward. Surrounding the city and branch |
ing of in different directions are valleys |
