MISUNDERSTANDING that his wife,

Mrs. Chisholm had given up all hope
of ever receiving anything when the
deed to so acres was placed in her
hands yesterday Chisholm has been
working only part of the time at small

North Coast TO Start Work
On South Side of Columbia

New developments, tending to throw
some light on the future plans of the
North Coast road, have been given out,
to the effect that actual construction
work south of the Columbia river will
be taken up about January 16, Con-
tractors Hurst and Woods, of Spokane,
being now in Wallula making con-
tracts for supplies. Announcement has
been made that before January 16,
machinery for grading will be on the
ground and a force of men at work.
The preliminary work will consist of a
spur from the 0. r. & N. near Alfalfa,
to the point on the Columbia river, Sc
lected for the bridge, the spur to be
used in conveying material and ma
chinery to the bridge site.
In view of the fact that the North
Coast road has, in railroad circle,
been claimed to be Hartman line,
the belief is expressed that, instead
of building direct to Walla Walla, the
road will be constructed to Wallula,
from which point the o. r. & N.
branch will be employed for connec-
tons with this city; also that Stra-
horn will not build direct to Walla
Walla, but build from Spokane toward
Walla Walla until Snake river is
reached at Lyons Ferry, where he will
connect with the o. r. & N. Snake
Aver cutoff, running thence to the
Columbia river bridge, three miles be-
low the mouth of the Snake. This the
DRY, in addition to being advanced by
railroad men, is borne out by the Ope-

rations of Hurst & Woods.

rations of Hurst & Woods.
Crossing the Columbia by the bridge
mentioned to Kennewiclx, the North
Coast would then proceed to Kiona
and the Yakima valley to the Sound
and Portland, the route that has OF
late been frequently outlined.
But while the latest announce
ments seem to be borne out with evil
dence those who have studied the
nrobable future work of the new road
are firm in the belief that the o. r. &
n. branch from Wallula to Walla Wal
la, having a grade of much greater
nercentage than the original survey
of the North Coast, will be found una
valuable for the heavy trains and traf-
line. Difficulty has always been ex-
perienced in the operation of 0. r. &
N. trains by reason of the grade, and
in view of this fact, it is thought prob
able that the original survey will be
held to.
Even though there seems to be more
or less mystery connected with the
North Coast, its promoters and con
nections, it is not the popular belief
in this section that the new line is
allied with the Hartman interests
This would seem to be proved by the
fact that it is entering country now
tapped my the o. r. & N. road, and Is
for the most part, paralleling the line
of that company in southeastern
Washington.
