MORE RAILS.
Yakima Valley Trans,. ortation Com
pany Deci0es to Buy Mile.

At meeting of the directors of
the Yakima Valley Transportation
company last evening it was decided
to order an additional mile of rails in
order to have sufficient rails to COM
ply with their franchise. Two miles.
amounting to 20 cars, were ordered
some time ago, and already four cars
have arrived. Other business was
transacted at the meeting, but they
did not desire anything pertaining
the other matters to be made public
at this time. With the ordering of
the additional mile of rails the COM
pletion of three miles of the line be-
fore the end of the year is assured.
The company is now working with
interest and doing everything in its
power to complete the line and have
it in operation at the earliest posi-
BILE moment.
