PASCO To BE:A RA|LROOO DISTRIBUTING
CENTER

900 at this place alone in an effort
to prepare for the distribution of east
and westbound traffic in five differ
ent ways.
The ultimate object to be reached
in this vast expenditure, is to cheaper
the cost of moving a ton OF freight
from the east to the Pacific coast.
The science of railroad operation as
practiced by Hill has ever been to
achieve the maximum of efficiency at
the minimum of expense.
From the 100 miles of side tracks
and storage yards in Pasco will be
sent in six ways the east and west
bound traffic that flows through this
place already at rate of 100000
tons per month or even more.
New brick round houses and ma
chine shops are to be erected at a cost
of several hundred thousand dollars
and the entire aspect of this old town
is to be changed Within IS months
according to information secured from
well informed Northern Pacific Of
ficials. several hundred trainmen will
be employed here regularly when the
| terminals are finished. The payroll
will exceed 100000 per month from
this source alone.
Truly, II seems as II the ancient by
word, Keep your eye on Pasco," orig
mated in the halcyon days of 1890
will yet came some significance.

dominates the Northwest Pacific, and

Events are moving so rapidly in
the Columbia river valley in a traffic
and construction way that railroad
men all over the west are making II
a point to keep thoroughly in touch
with each new development.
At least score of railroad engineers
and surveyors have scurried across
this basin within the last 90 days, To-

It has been definitely determined
that Hill will make Pasco, where the
Snake and Columbia rivers join, an
immense depot for the handling OF
both east and westbound traffic and
a distribution of loaded cars in all di-
rections so as TO facilitate the handling
of the tremendous freight business

MATRIMONIAL HOPES

Filled with the brightest hopes OF
marrying and living happily ever after.
a woman vcntured all the way from near
Lincoln. Ncb., 10 Cumberland Courthouse,
va. to meet an unknown swain and to
win his undying love at first sight.
But the plans of mice and men-and
women-SanS aft aglcy," and the poor
woman. who had staked her all on the
venture, was doomed TO bitter ~disappoint-
ment.
The story is that the woman answered
n matrimonial advertisement Inserted in
q Nebraskan newspaper. offering her a
home OF ease in Virginia. She answered
the advertisement. and in return received
a photograph of the man who was so
desirous of securing a better half. After
a little correspondence the man in Cum
berland sent the woman money to pay
her expenses to this State. With u beat
ing heart and n hopeful mind at the
thought OF her distant lover she packed
her clothes and came east on the first
train.
She arrived in Cumberland on Monday
and was met by the expectant advertiser.
He cast one lingering look on her beam
Ing countcnance, and the game was up.

For the momen her heart stopped beat

the man sorrowfully informed the expec-
tant minister OF the Gospel that his SER
vices would not be necdcd just then.
1t was not a case OF love at first sight.
and the little god, Cupid, bowed himself
off the stage.
The man, not wholly hard OF heart:
brought the would-bc bride to Richmond
to secure her some position In lieu OF the
matrimonial bliss she had expected. They
were directed to the Ballard House;
where tho sorrowful story was told, and
where the couple bade each other a last
goodbye.
Mr.. Buchanan soon secured her a posi-
ton at the home of n prominent business
man OF the city. where she is at present
located. The man ~1ourneyed back TO

Mr.. Byrd then asked the witness X he

Judge Crump replied Yes"
MIR. Byrd then read section IS of the
charter of the Virginia Corporation Conf
pany which authorized the commission
to act as attorney, and asked Judge
Crump IL he had read that section before
he granted the charter.
He replied that he had.
Mr.. Byrd then asked n number of. oues-
tons, which called attention to the fact
that the company In which Judge Crump
was a stakeholder was authorized to
appear before him as an attorney.
Judge Crump, however, declined to ac-
cept this statement as being probable.
d you not think that there should
BE laws passed that would forbid such n
company from becoming "nn annex to
the corporation?'' asked Mr.. Byrd.
Judge Crunlp replied:
1T ought not to become an annex with
or without laws
Mr.. Byrd asked the witness IL he did
not think that such improper actions, of
which Lanier had been guilty, should be
''penalized by the State.
Judge Crump replied that he did not
think so; that he thought the Corpora
ton Commission should judge its emf
