From Yakima b South Bend.

Tacoma Globe: According to the
OrsOOniGn, Assistant General Passenger
Agent Charlton, Of the Northern Pacific,
confirms the rumor previously published
to the effect that the road purposes build
ing from North Yakima across to
Chehalis. This will probably serve for
long time to come to obviate the North
ems building It's own line down the Col
umbia from Wallula Junction to Portland.
This short cut into Portland will be one
effect Of the line, but it is possible that
the move has q far wider significance.
The Northern Pacific will thus provide
itself with another Pacific coast terminus.
II, as is alleged, the survey which is al
ready made for the line from North
Yakima to Chehalis provides an easy
grade from the wheat fields Of the Inland
Empire to Willapa harbor, the shipping
of wheat may be to some extent revolt
.utionized. Willapa harbor is spoken Of
by the government engineers as pos
sessing very great advantages. 1t has
good bar with twenty-one feet at mean
low tide. Six or eight miles from the
high sea the ship can anchor in fresh
water. That the Northern does entertain
q feeling Of interest for South Bend can
not be doubted from the fact that a long
lists Of lis officials, from General Manager
Mellen down, have been there lately
looking the ground over. The grading
is completed from Chehalis to South
Bend, and it is expected to nave the cars
running in there by November LIST.
