All the details of the proposed railway
are yet to be worked out and will re-
quire the approval of the Northern Pa
cific board of directors. 1t is proposed
to raise money through subscriptions to
the capital stock of the company. The
amount is fixed at 100000 in shares of $40
each. It's conservatively estimated that
a subscription of IS per acre for lands
benefited, with porportionate sudscrip-
tions from property owners and business
men of Sunnyside. Prosser and other To-
calities in addition to the mortgage secur-
tiles will provide an ample fund for the
purpose, and that road will, the first
ofthe year, payOperatingexpens fixed
charges and fair return to the stock
holders. Subscriptions are to be pay
able on the following terms.
Ten per cent July Is, 1904.
Thirty per cent when the road shall
have been graded from the connection
with the Northern Pacific tracks to the
subscribers nearest shipping point.
Thirty per cent when the tracks shall
have been laid continuously between
said points.
Thirty per cent remainder when the
road between said points shall be COM
pleted and in operation.
All subscriptions to be paid and the
road completed within eight months
from July /, 1904. The incorporators
are among the representative men of the
valley who will themselves contribute
largely to the capital stock of the COM
pany, and are confident OF their ability
to carry this enterprise to successful
issue upon the basis proposed.

SUMNySIDE RAILROAD
IS LIKELY TO Be A GO
Northern Pacific Will Help Raise the
Money-Project Looks Feasible
Lower Valley Enthusiastic.

Further details have come to light re-
garding the proposed unnyside-Pross-
er-Toppenish railroad, the news of the
incorporation of the company having
been published in these columns last
week. The people of the lower valley
seem to be enthusiastic over the enter
prise and the prospects seem to be fav-
vorable for its competition. The talk of
the I'D has revived discussion of the
beet sugar factory at Prosser, the pro-
motors of that enterprise saying that
thew will stand ready to build it if the
railroad is constructed and sufficient
acreage of beets pleged.
As ia we'll known, the railroad project
has been under consideration by the
Northern Pacific officials for nearly a
year. 1t was orieionally proposed By
the Sunnyside officials to acquire the
right of way for such road, grade a
roadbed on it and turn it over to the
Northern Pacific, free of all liens or in
cumbrances on the condition that the
Northern Pacific would complete the line
and operate it. This proposition was ia
vorabiy considered by the former officials
of the road, General Manager Cooper
and President Mullen, but about the
time matters were in shape for the exc
cution of the contract q change in the
management of the Northern Pacific &C.
cured, which led to a change.
The present Northern Pacific manage
ment has expressed itself as opposed in
principle to the acceptance of donations
or subsidies for the construction OF
branch roads, and has suggested that
the Sunnside people should themselves
build, own and operate the proposed rail-
road. The Northern Pacific says it will
assist the enterprise by enabling the Sun
nyside people to market its mortgage Sc
curities in an amount at least sufficient
to provide the track metal, bridges and
equipment; by furn shing terminal ia
cilities free of charge; by an agreement
for interchange OF traffic and the use OF
Northern Pacific cars for through bust
ness by repairing its engines and cars at
Northern Pacific shops at reasonable
charges, loaning or leasing other rolling
stock instead, and perhaps i'll other ways.
As conditional to such assistance the
Northern Pacific is to have the preference
right of purchase on equal terms with
others should the Snnnyside company in
future decide to sell its railway.
