At the time it was said that the men

1t has long since been the belief of
those who have followed the local

Northern Pacific would be forced to
build from Riparia along the south
bank of the Snake river to Lewiston,
and connect here with the Culdesac
extension.
For time that belief was shattered,
when It was announced that the
Northern Pacific and o. r. & N. had
come to terms and would Jointly build
the Riparia extension to Lewiston. But
Since the extension was begun the
Northern Pacific has withdrawn from

CHARLESTON, Wash, March 22.-
The Northern Pacific is making an ef-
fort to buy the missing links of its
right of way along the south bank OF
the Snake river in Asotin county.
An overture has been made to Oscar
Kettleson, who operates ferry al
Alpowai, and owns a tract of land on
the river bottom adjoining his ferry
site, has been asked what he will take
for a strip of 200 feet through his
property.
The offer came in a letter from the
right Of way department of the North
ern Pacific. The epistle says that the
land is wanted for a railroad.
May Mean Station for Alpowai
Inasmuch as road only usually
buys 100 feet for a right t-of-way, but
asks Mr. Kettleson for 200 feet
through his land, is taken to mean
that the company intends to put in
side track at Alpowai.
A sidetrack at that point is taken
to mean by those VINO have discussed
the matter that Alpowai is to be made
a station of no small Importance or
the south bank road.
"The Northern Pacific already has
a right of-way through Asotin county
as far north as the Garfield county
line, except through the ranches of Mr.
Kettleson and another party in thai
section. They are paying taxes or
that right of way, and from present
indications will hold it preparatory t,
