Everybody in Yakima is pulling
together. The newspapers are one the
banks are one and the business men

good things in store for rs. Two more
railroads are heading THIS way and With
in five years North Yakima will have a
population OF twenty thousand people.
This will bring manufactures and, ia
consequence, double the population in
the following four years. The Northern
pacii' officials realize the great future OF
the Yakima country and hence have
improved the depot grounds on scale
of libprality commensurate with their
forecast Of North Yakima's shipping

are unlocking their surplus capital and
residences and business blocks are multi.
plying with magical rapidity. The Yak
