BUILDING N. pASCO.
Architect Nash Draws Plans for
Solid Concrete and Brick
Construction.

Pssco is to have an immense story
and Office building as a result of the
enterprise of Charles Cunningham,
formerly engaged in the sheep bust
ness throughout the Yakima valley.
Plans are being drawn by Architect
Nash III North Yakima for the struc-
ture, which will be two stories and
a basement and have a ground floor
space OF G500 square feet, being 1870
by 80 feet The plan is to utilize
all the room in both floors and base
ment, there being several store
rooms in the basement, five rooms on
the main floor and q offices on the
second floor.
The building will be of solid con-
crete throughout, with a pressed
brick facing. This is a novel con-
struction for this section but assures
permanency for the building.

Gives Hint As to Some
Plans.

That the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad has been surveying in
Southern Idaho, and that line from
the present terminus through this
point would reach Walla Walla.
North Yakima and Puget sound
point, is statement made by George
z. Mosser, travelling passenger agent
of the Northwestern. He doesn't
say the road intends to build, but al
lows the conclusion to be reached by
those who talk to him.
Mosser is one of the best-known
railroad men in this section and is a
frequent visitor in the city. He is
keeping close touch on the shipments
from the Yakima valley and says he
sees an lawful lot of hauling il
prospect in future years"
There have been reports that the
Northwestern is connected or will be
connected later in financial ways with
the North Coast railroad, and that
the line will extend from Walla
