KENNEWICK TO HAVE A NEW
FREIGHT HOUSE.

Kennewick is to have new
freight house, TO be constructed as
tracks can be laid out and material
gotten on the ground. Station
agent c. w Wiegel received word
this morning from Division Super
intendent a Beamer that the freight
house and siding had been allowed
by the proper authorities
The freight house will be 4ox1oo
and be located on the south side of
the main line just west Of the St.
Paul & Tacoma lumber yard crc ss-
ing.
F. S. Elliott, chief of the party of
engineers here last week, expected
to return this week to lay out the
spur to the freight house as we'll as
the new side track mentioned last
week. The siding for the Wood
& Cochran flour mill was staked
some time ago. The freight house
will be on the south side of the
spur and teams will have easy ac-
cess to it from the south along the
whole length of the building.

Early Garden L" Sass

Saturday was garden 'sass
day at the Courier. w. H. Smith
brought in a fine bunch of fresh
onions averaging about 10 inches
in length and of remarkably fine
flavor. They were grown entirely
out of doors and reached market
able size by the middle of Febru-
ary. But the finest of the fine was
some large heads of tender and
crisp lettuce raised in Section 7 by
H. ~Delepine of the Kennewick
Produce Co. The leaves were not
the "yallerish' hot house kind
but the rich green of outdoor
growth and measured from 6 to 10
inches in length and of proper
tionate width Mr.. Delepine will
have this product on the market
from now on. It really seems that
Kennewick is still headquarters
for the earliest fruits and vegeta-
bles in the Northwest.

The Scribe Abroad

On a recent visit to Kennewick
The Enterprise was impressed by
the way strangers from the east
are pouring in. Every train drops
off few more and a corps of wide
awake real estate men Immediately
take them in hand.
Kennewick has the ground work
for rafting good town, and al
ready it is place of considerable
importance. 1t is we'll laid out,
and with paved streets, sewers,
etc., which will come in due time,
it will be one of the most attractive
towns in the valley.-Klona En-
terprise:

All these natural resources are
being developed and will be rolled
down On gentle grades on the diff
ferent transportation lines to Ken
newick, and to the Columbia river,
manufactured into commercial pro-
ducts and shipped from thence on
by water to the sea.
One can thereby readily under.
stand how nature has abundantly
endowed this historic spot, and man
need only to take advantage of the
natural resources and develop them
properly, and the result can only
be the building up of one of the
greatest manufacturing, transporta-
ton, shipping and distributing CEN
tiers in the west, and Kennewick
and Pasco, in ten years, will be-
come the Twin Cities of the Inland
Empire of Washington, supporting
a population running up into many
thousands.
Those who possess farsightedness
sufficient to take advantage of the
events which are now trarspiring
and who locate at this point, and
by judicious investments, distribute
their capital, will realize magnif-
cent profits from their investments
a few years hence. The historic
spot so rendered by the early ex-
plorers will in a short time become
commercially historic by reason of
its shipping and manufacturing
enterprises, and magnificent city
shall mark the vicinity where the
hardy explorers, a century ago,
first beheld the magnificent Colum-
bia sweeping on to the sea.

RAILROAD ON THE ISLAND

Northern Pacific officials are ne
gotiating with DR.. N. c.. Blalock,
owner of Blalock island, TO secure
right-of- way for the North Bank
road, according to the statement of
DR.. Blalock. On the Washington
side there is high bluff of rock
and dirt extending seven miles. par
alleling the entire length of the
island. AS the island lies only 200
feet from the Washington side dur
ing high water, engineers say it
would becheaper to bridge the island
at each end. thus doing away with
construction along this bluff There
are also sharp curves in one or two
places along this bluff shore. The
grade for the new railroad from
Kennewick to Portland must be at
least seven feet higher than the
hlghwater mark of 1894. DR.. Bla-
lock says that if the railroad runs
through the island he will immedi-
aeeiy lay out site for a new town,
as this will be All ideal place for a
small city. He owns IS, 900 acres
vi oeeded land on the island, and
1000 acres will be plated into five
~, ~ ano 20 acre tracts before spring.
Ills can be irrigated by water
iron the Columbia.

COMMON USE OF TERMINALS
Observation-Disclosures Officials
Will Discuss Question.

Representatives Of the Hill-Har-
riman and Milwaukee railway sys-
TENS met in Seattle Wednesday to
discuss the question of common
use of streets and tracks and ter
minal stations in the northwest.
The conference will concern not
only trackage rights at Seattle, Ia
coma and possibly Portland, but it
is probable that use of tracks at
other points in the state will be
discussed.
It is also believed that Hill and
Hartman attorneys will try and
reach some agreement on the pres
ent2 status of the old Union Pacific
grade between Portland and Ia
coma. The Northern Pacific will
be represented by c. M. Bum of
St. Paul, general counsel; G. M.
Levey of Tacoma, third vice presi-
dent; B. S. Grosscup of Tacoma,
general western counsel and Thos.
Cooper of St. Paul, land commits
sioner: The Union Pacific by w.
w. Cotton, general council in the
west, and J. P. O'Brien of Port
land, general manager Of the Har-
rinan lines in Oregon The Mil
waukee by@H. r. Williams, gen
eral manager in Washington and
E. E. Field, general counsel.
Messrs Levey, Bum. and Cooper
are now On their way west. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Levey went
east for the purpose of laying all
these trackage questions before
higher officials On the Hill system.
He has been given authority and
will probably state just exactly
what the Northern Pacific want.

SPORTS Of THE SEASON IN SEASON
YOUNG CORbETT
MAY FIGHT HERE

There is every Indication that the Jim
my Briggs of Chelsea, who claims the
lightweight championship of the East,
will probably meet either Young Corbett
or INK Russell OF Philadelphia, the bout
to be held at the club houses of the Stan
dard Athletic club I'm Lymansville.
This announcement is hailed with glee
by the fans and the enthusiastic hope Is
that the deal now pending may be clinch-
ed. II will 5e the fastest match which
sports OF this section have had an oppor-
tunity TO witness
Jimmy Briggs is wel-known in the 13O-
pound class and has participated in about
81 battles and has been exceedingly for
tunate In the general run. lie met INK
Russell twice last year in siX-round bouts,
but no decision was given. according 10
the custom in the Quaker City.
In 1903 he was twice pitted against
Young Corbett and lost.
The same year he went IS rounds with
Terry McGovern, the latter securing the
decision. He drew with Martin Canole in
a 2-round bout in New Bedford in 1904
During the past year he has fought nine
battles. He has won from Dave Deshler
at Chelsea IN l5-round bout and twice
was defeated by Harry Lewis. He was
knocked out by Kid Sullivan in Baltimore,
Sept. 20. and drew with Steve Kinney in
Nov. 2.
INK Russell has made a fine reputation
for himself In pugilstic circles, his best
bout this year being with Kid Sullivan,
whom he knocked out in the 10th round at
Baltimore. Nov. ?. Previously on March
2Sth. the best he could get with Kid Sui
Ivan was draw, and his recent knockout
act is evidently of the rapid strides he
Is making I'm the game. The majority OF
his fights have been in Philadelphia. his
home town. where no decisions re given
and he has not been seen much in this
section.
Young Corbett Is matched to meet
Tommy Murphy OF New York. Jan 12th
SO that the bout will not be held before
that time. II. however, Young Corbett
should lose 10 Murphy, ne would not be a
desirable opponent for Briggs here, and
then INK Russell would most likely be
selected As yet the matter is hanging
fire, but promoters OF the sport promise |
that good bout will be arranged for a |
date in the near future.
