ownership in Connection with the op-
GRAFTON of the water plant at that
place:
The city was bonded in 1890 for
$40, 900 to install system of water
works, and since that time improve.
ments have been added to the amount
of Sl2, 600, making total amount of
SO, 600 invested. Up to about two
years ago the water was furnished by
Hess Il Cooper for Sl,4O0 per year,
but at that time the city bought the
pipe line at cost of S6, 900, and now
the city owns all their water system.
The revenue received by the city
from the water is $500 per year, and
the cost of maintaining the same is
about 5000, leaving q net income Of
about $4S00, or in other words the sys-
tenn is paying about % per cent inter.

NATIVE SON IS A
HUSTLER FOR BINGEN

One Of the hustlers Of Bingen who
has always had great faith in the fu
ture of the little city is Ed Suksdorf
He has the distinction Of being a ma
tive born. But for many years he
was resident of Spokane His father
was one of the pioneers Of Bingen, but
II years ago left 1t for the great wheat
country and the then growing town
of Spokane. Now Ed, is trying to
make a Spokane out Of Bingen. He
has one of the best arranged hotels in
Washington. He has just recently
completed fine annex, and is prepar-
ed to take care of summer tourists.
In addition to his hotel he has a
bowling alley and at all times is in
the fore rank booming the city that
promises to be one Of the best towns
along the Columbia river. There is
no question but that the Northern Pa
cific is coming down the north bank
and there is no question but what
Bingen will be a station and one Of
the hustling towns along the road.
The location Is just right for town
site and when the active operations
are started it will be found that Bin
gen is in the lead. Mr.. Suksdorf has
a half block of choice lots that he has
on the market. There is hardly day
goes by but what he is solicited to sell
lots and he is letting them go to en-
courage all to come.
He is the proprietor of the Maple
Hotel and there is no better place to
stop at. He has just installed new
chef, and is making strong play for
the summer visitors. The scenery
near the hotel is ideal. Near the Co
lumbia river, all the boats stop there,
and free bus service is placed at the
command of all. There is livery in
connection and stages leave his door
for the Trout Lake country.

THREE TOWNS IN A
CONTEST FOR DEPOT

With the positive assurance that a
railroad is to be constructed along
the north bank, and that 1t 10 in all
likelihood the Northern Pacific has
added new life to Klickitat and Ska
mania counties.
For many years it has been the gen
eral talk about every so often that a
new road was coming, but as all the
old pioneers who have gone through
all the railroad discussions, have
never before been convinced that it
was a moral certainty.
A right of way has been practically
secured from Kennewick to Vancouver.
There has been some delay owing to
the heavy damages asked by the
ranchers In the Columbia river valley,
and the fruit growers in Clark county.
All these matters will eventually be
settled, and then will come the active
operations.
The ones who have remained skepti-
cal are gradually being convinced as
they witness the land changing hands.
1t is no longer question Of road or
no road, but the all absorbing topic
of conversation ID, where will the sta
tiOns be? 1t IL most interesting
struggle, If it may be 80 termed.
Bingen has all the natural advantages,
and it is predicted that it will surely
land depot. Lyle will, of course, be
good town, for it will have spur
running up to Goldendale. White
Salmon is now a good sized city, and
it is argued that the depot will be
down in the valley, as the company
would play for the freight that is now
carried to it by the steam boat COM
panies. Underwood is fastly becom-
ing an important shipping point and
has opened new country with new
road to the Camas Prairie country
shortening the distance many miles.
Some one of the three cities will
land it, and the one that does, will make
hustling little city. Any one who
will take the time to read this edition
will gain some insight of just what an
important shipping II will make. The
records of the steamship lines and
the o. r. 4 N. will show that 1t al
ready is great fruit shipping cOun-
try. The early berries come from the
White Salmon valley, and as the great
fruit orchards mature it will increase
ten fold.
There lie hardly a rancher on the
Washington side, that is in the White
Salmon valley but what Is going heav-
lily in the apple business. The big
mountains that we're some years ago
considered worthless except for graz
ing purposes are this day planted into
some Of the finest orchards In the
world. When 1t comes time for all
these young trees to bear, shipments
will be made in the carload lot and
what one of the towns mentioned will
be the point where they will pour out
to the great round world,

NATURE WAS KIND
TO BINGEN SITE

One of the most important towns
along the Columbia and one that is
strongly in the limelight Just now is
Bingen 1t has teen nearly halt cen.
tury since the first settlement vas
made there by the Suksdorf family
and that family Is still there today.
Nature was most generous and kind
to the country in and around Bingen
and left beautiful spot for town
site. The great trees that mark the
mountain side are not there, and when
the town is plated off 1t is back far
enough so that the high water along
the Columbia river does not work
back and overflow.
A more perfect spot for town
could not be imagined and as it is
many are now coming 10 and looking
over the city relative to locating and
taking advantage of the choice loca-
tion. 1t has been practically assured
that a railroad Is coming down the
north bank and 1t is pretty sure that
Bingen will have depot. For many
years these same rum0rs have been
going the rounds every time survey
was made or right -of-way man would
put In an appearance. Now 1t is differ
ent for it has been handed down high
in railway circles that trans conti-
mental line is going to be pushed down
the north bank. The rancher and the
merchant of Bingen and best OF all
Theodore Suksdorf, the postmaster,
who with his brothers and Others own
so much OF the land in that locality.
They have placed ON the market the
lots in the town site and are Offering
them for $50 and upward.
Already strangers are Hooking in
and there is great deal OF talk going
the rounds that much building is to
be done soon. Last week an effort was
made to buy the large store building
owned by g. A. Thomas, but he re-
fused az he intends to open large
store himself if the road goes through.
He has great confidence in the future
of the city and the country and now
that the road is foregone conclusion
he will again enter the field and give
the people of the valley and Bingen
one of the best stores in the state.
