NEARLY READY FOR the FAIR
Overhead Work Started and Track
Nearly All i'm Place for
Extension.

With little stir the Yakima Valley
Transportation company has nearly
completed it's line to the Washington
state fair grounds and in another
week will probably be in position to
handle traffic over the line If deemed
advisable. A start was made Mon
day on the overhead work, and the
rails are placed nearly to the fair
grounds, while the grading and tie
laying has been finished.
The rapid building of the line in
readiness for the handling of the
dictates that everything will be in
business of the fair this season. En-
gineer Kenly has devised an excellent
loop system which will be used for
handling the fair business, and can
be enlarged to handle increasing traf-
