ST. PAUL EXTENSION DELAYED
Engineers Have Difficulty in Getting
Grade In Kittitas Valley.

Chicago, June 13.-It is understood
that the new St Paul extension to the
coast may use the tracks of the North
ern Pacific road between Ellensburg
and North Yakima. It is believed the
ST. Paul is seeking an arrangement of
this sort because its engineering corps
is experiencing some difficulty in Sc
curing a satisfactory grade out of the
Kittitas valley. The St Paul survey
ing parties have also experienced diff
fcultv in surveying in the mountains
during the last few months, owing to
enormous snowfalls. This has delayed
surveyors and locations of routes. and
It will be August 1 before the company
is prepared to announce officially the
completed surveys for the Pacific coast
extension.

appeared but which failed to influence
the board in its determination to secure
a fairer valuation of railroad property
in this territory, a valuation which has
been ridiculously low in the past. A
year ago the board made raises in the
assessed valuation of mining property
which resulted IN a test case in the 10
