STOCKHOLDERS Mrsr DECIDE.
Transportation Company Officials
Agree On Important
Step.

Stockholders of the Yakima VALLEY
Transportation company are to con-
slider the proposition for the finane-
ing of the street railway, according
TO plans made at the meeting of the
board of trustees Saturday afternoon,
in order that the line may be built.
The proposition will be placed before
them this week.
The trustees asked Attorney Gull
to prepare definite plans for the pre-
senting of this proposition to the
stockholders, and this step will be
considered at the board meeting
Tuesday afternoon. The board de-
cided that it was useless to attempt
to have stockholders meeting, as
all would not be present, and will
take the subject personally to each
stakeholder instead.
ct is necessary for the trustees to
secure authority from the stockhold-
ers to close up this DEAL" said Presi-
dent Splawn Saturday evening IN
discussing the matter. "The board
has gone as far as possible with the
matter, and we feel assured that the
road will be built if the stockholders
will consent to the formation Of the
new company.
''Mr. Rankin is to be congratulated
on the step that he has been able to
make in securing the offer that is
made. He has gone as far as ] ever
expected would be possible with a 10
cal company, and has placed things
so that the Yakima country can have
an electric railroad system if it de-
sires it.
Il said when I took the presi-
dency of the company that | did not
believe the line could be built in its
entirety by local money, and it cant
be. 1t is up to the people to do
things to bring the other money here,
for we are too poor to invest millions
Ill tHlS KIM OF PROJECT.
But if the railroad is not built
now it will not be built for four or
five years more, maybe longer. Now
is the time, when we have everything
ready
1T would be impossible for the
present company to build many miles
of road year. and the demand is
for the entire road to be built at one
time G7 miles of It. The country
demands it. and it means the great
est benefit to the whole valley and to
North Yakima to have the road built
right away The chance is here.
"The trustees have done things
that many other boards would not
do, just to have the railroad built
They have stood good, personally, for
Indebtedness of anywhere from 500
0o0 to $40, 900. They have believed
that the stockholders would be pat
riotic and would pay UP their assess
ments. Yet some of the stockholders
who are able to pay have not done
so but invested in automobiles in
stead.
"And now we have the opportunity
of securing the necessary money
from outside sources, to bring capi-
tai into the country and to develop
the country. 1t is to be sincerely
hoped that they will take the matter
under consideration seriously, see
what the chances are, and will give
the board the right to close UP this
deal"

1t is very probable that the fund

if Webb will be used to defray the ex-
penses Of erecting a large bronze
equestrian statue of the martyred Of

If a sufficient amount can be secured
to defray the expenses Of erecting
such a statue.
The plan was suggested to Score
tary Decker Of the chamber ofscom-
merce, who is custodian of the fund,
by a Laurel nan who vas in Billings
yesterday. He stated that he believed
that everyone in the county would be
willing to contribute to such a fund
more literally than to a fund to erect
a monument over the grave Of Sheriff
Webb.
Subscriptions for the fund will be
solicited in Billings by the Women's
club and other organizations and in
the surrounding country by individ-
uals who have already volunteered for
the work. It is probable that mem.
bers of the Women's club will take UP
the work Of soliciting contributions to

Although 1t will require several

ton to do so, would give at least 81,
