The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1891-11-12


has been much newspaper talk Of late re-
garding the change Of route Of the Great
Northern, but 9 well posted engineer,
who knows whereof he speaks, says Il Is
settled that Stevens pass will be utilized
II time, money and labor even TO pre-
pairing the approaches Is any criterion.
Our informant does not care to have his
name mentioned, bat he certainly has the
strongest Of reasons for his belief, even
to the word Of those high in authority.
The question now 10 where the road will
make the crossing Of the Columbia. The
Moses coulee route is ~ miles shorter
than that BY Foster creek, but the adj
vantage Of taking the latter route would
be that the road would tap The 0kanogAn
valley and compete with the Central
Washington for the trade Of that rich
section and still have an equally favor
able grade. The decision regarding the
point ct which the Columbia will be
crossed il agitating the people Of the
little towns to the north and the spec
ulators who are hanging on the heels Of
the locating party in an endeavor to get
q sure pointer. There IL Q strong prob
ability that Wenatchie will be left 10 cool
its heels on the south side Of the river,
while the road takes up the north. In
Che event Of the Great Northern going
TO the Columbia by the way Of the
coulee and the Northern Pacific, or Cen
trail Washington, building to its town Of
Westfeld on the Columbia via Foster
creek, there will be inaugurated an era
Of great activity and business prosperity
for that section, and unquestionably Q
line Of boats will be placed on the river
and running up to Chelan. This latter
place 10 now on the present route Of travel
for that entire upper country, and would
be the natural shipping and trading point
for the entire Chelan country, which Is
showing up very rich In gold, silver, lead,
copper, iron, graphite, lime and marble.

burglar had come into that room. Mr..
Granger lighted q match, and Capt.
Thomas, catching sight Of o strange
shadow on the low ceiling, raised his gun
and blazed away. The report was deaf
ening, and the gun was 80 close to Mr..
Changers head that his system was
thoroughly shocked and be lost conscious
ness. There was no burglar in the house,
bot Capt. Thomas imagined there was,
and, having 400 with him at the time,
every noise was magnifed and the foot
steps Of Mrs. Granger in gathering up
the papers convinced him that the bur.
Rlar had entered that room. A messen.
ger was dispatched, after the shooting,
for DR.. Coe, and in the meantime Mrs.
Thomas sought with warm fannels and
Whiskey to bring her son-in-law back Ia
consciousness, but it was some hours be.
fore Mr.. Granger was himself again,
Tuesday afternoon he was driven to bis
Office by Capt. Thomas, but still feels
some Of the effects Of the shock.
