is desired is union depot. Efforts have
been made 10 perfect an arrangement
whereby all lines entering Seattle Will
participate in the erection of a union pas
senger depot. This has not been accom-
pliShed yet"
Mr. James inquired Il the Northern Pa
citic had not recently built a passenger
depot at Portland.
The depot there" replied Mr.. Mellen,
was erected by terminal company
which sold It's own bonds. and with the
proceeds erected the depot. The Northern
Pacific simply bears It's proportion of the
operating expenses Of the depot on a traf-
flo basis"
Don't railroad companies frequently
have their building done by other corpor-
ations?" asked Mr.. James.
Mr. Melien repe ated his former declara-
ton that IN Portland L terminal company
had built the depot.
James ArraiGns the Company.
Mr. James then delivered a general criti-
cisrn OF the Northern Pacific In It's atti-
tude toward Seattle. 1T does not seem

treated this city right. Know Mr.. Win

Indication OF an approaching agreement of
the roads. Nothing is being done to bring
about a restoration of rates. Ii is impos
slble TO predict Just how long the rates
will continue low. They certainly ought
to be restored Immediately.
The Northern Pacific ia not willing to
settle the rate cutting on the basis insist
Ell upon by the Canadian Pacific, namely,
a s. differential to Pacific coast terminals.

To il. We do not see any justice in their

grapes, peaches and blackbcrrics, and
800 in corn. peas and rye. There are
10000 acres of uncultivated land that
can and will be soon improved. The
soil is sand, in which grapes and black
berries thrive better than in any other
portion of the south. Peaches. straw

cept apples do we'll; rye ana corn exceed
ingIy well. oats fairly so, and COW peas
grow to perfection. Irish and sweet po-
tatoes also do nicely. AS a result Of eE~
periments made by J. T. Patrick covering
the entire domain Of vegetation, it has
been found that all kinds Of fruits and
vegetables do fairly well except celery,
watCrcress, cherries, and some varieties
of pears apples and wheat. No crops
except grapes have been here for market;
the land is comparatively all in the
woods. But little fertilizing has been

yet developed, and its results are surpris-
