Gray's Harbor Townsite Company. Mr..
Heermaus is well-known capitalist from
New York, and has large property inter-

the Northern Pacific is the same that was
raised more than year ago for G. w.

Centralia to Gray's Harbor City. This
bonus amounts to almost $1,000, COO, the
contract for which will expire on or about
July %. Mr.. Hunt, being unable to build
the road for himself, has arranged to as
sign the bonus deeds over TO the Northern

interest is being manifested in the suit
of the Puyallup Valley Railway Company
for condemnation of right-of-way over the
reservation lands. The decision of the

in its effects if favorable to the company.
There are several gangs of surveyors in
the vicinity of town who are source of
great annoyance TO the people here, mas

they are the Union Pacific force, and that
already they have located a depot here.
