impression is given currency by re-
port published in Yakima paper to
the effect that the prison board at its

that the officers of the law in Yakima
county are displeased with the choice
made by the board of prisoners rec
commended for leEiency and that some
surprised is expressed that w. Laid
law was not selected in place of some
of the bad characters released. In order
to correct the impression thus given
the following statement is given OUT
by the prison board. which has just
returned from Walla Walla.
"The board recommends two par
dons. five communications and IS pa
roles. one of the men recommended
for Communication and four of those rec
commended for parole were sent up
from Yakima county. C. H. Brace,
who was recommended for commuta-
tion. was sentenced for two years an1

he would have TO serve is but 2S days.
A pardon was recommended for j. l.. III.

week that arrangements have been
completed whereby the Union Pacific
interests will operate both freight ana
passenger trains between Walla Wal
la and Portland across Washington
immediately on the completion of the
new North Coast railway. Coincident
with this report comes a statement
from dependable source close to the
inner workings of railroading in the
northwest, that the North Coast road
apparently being built by the Corbir
interests of Spokane. is in reality
backed jointly by the Chicago &
Northwestern and Union Pacific assern-
panies.
1T has bean known for several years
that E. II. Hartman has been plan
ming an invasion of Central Washing
ton, the railroad business of which is
at present dominated by the Hill in
terests. Ever since the Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST. Paul railroads made an
nouncements of the construction of
transcontinental line from ST. Paul &
Minneapolis to the coast it has been
believed the, Chicago & Northwestern
would also build a new transconti-
mental line. This belief has beer.
strengthened by the mysterious opera
tions throughout the state and in the
vicinity of Tacoma of a large crew
of surveyors for several months.
"The Northwestern and Milwaukee
have always maintained an Intense ri
valry and it has always been the pol
icy of both roads to compete in every
territory possible. In substantiation
of this belief have been a number of
yelled sales of Northwestern and
Union Pacific stocks or. the New York
exchange during the past II months,
coupled with the opposition and hind
