Nature has favored the eastern slope of
the Cascades in the way of a road bed,
and comparatively little work is required
to tap, secure and retain the trade Of a
mountainous section that promises to be
commercially rich. This hidden wealth
is recognized by the level-headed men OF
Buckley and contiguous towns and with
a country, which, for six or seven
months OF the year is quagmire, they
are endeavoring to take from Yakima a
district which gives every promise of be-
ing the backbone and mainstay Of large
and thrifty community. 1t is time for
Yakima to take some decided action.
