supplied this section, whereas, should he
build his mill in Seattle he would be

directed to securing what is known as
"milling in transit" rates over the branch
lines Of the Northern Pacific, and if he is

sf local consumption OF -four sill cut but
a small figure in mill Of this eapaci-
ty, almost the entire product being ship
ped abroad, and the calculations of Mr..
Isaacs are made on this basis. The mill
would be an important factor in the up
building and prosperity OF Yakima and
the present indications point strongly to
its being loeated here.
