and Ranchers of District.

Portland Commercial club members
to the number of rs who are to reach
North Yakima the evening of Thurs
day, May 13, will remain here until
9 o'clock the morning of May A. This
constitutes the longest stop the Port

Zillah-Parker Developments
"This Zillah-Parker affair is a re-
cent development. We have had it
under discussion for q month or so
and these other fellows appear to
reason they are building there now.
However we are getting along nicely.
We have a little difference with the
Northern Pacific railroad about our
crossing at Kennewick and the matter
of the Northern Pacific crossing at
Granger has not been settled. Apart
from that we have clear sailing al
m ost through to North Yakima.
Nothing About Branch Lines.
with regard to our plans of a
branch line from Granger L have
nothing to say at this time or rather
I would prefer not to say anything.
We have some matters under con-
sideration which have not been set
tied. AS we are working in this i'm
mediate section at this time 1 will
probably remain in North Yakima for
another day or two.

this was considered to be too much
money to use in that way at this stage
of the city's growth. 1t Is understood,
however, that the two stories to be
erected. will be so constructed as to
carry additional stories when needed.
Looking for Laundry Site.
Other west side Improvement news
is that men have been looking about
there for laundry site. Outside peo-
pie who came to the city a week ago
thought the west side to offer excel
lent advantages to laundryman. The
field there has recently been vacated,
so far as actual oprating of a laun-
dry is concerned. The new people are
not anxious for an avenue site but
want to be near the avenue. They
have looked at several places and
have picked out site on which a
building will probably be erected to
be leased to them. No definite ar
rangements have been made but the
plan Is strongly considered.

WANTS TRAIL FENCED UP.
Register Saint of Land Office Grows
Tired Waiting Oh County Commits
siOners and Asks for Action.

H. Y. Saint, register of the land Of
flee in this city, has addressed letter
to the county commissioners in which
he asks the vacation either of the
county road around his property in
the Mckee valley or of the trail across
his property and he prefers that the
trail be vacated. The trail is now the
main travelled road between North
Yakima and the Columbia river. 1t
is the route by which the automobile
parties and others make their way to
White Bluffs and other much adver-
tise Columbia river sections. 1t runs
across the land of Mr.. Saint, deprives
him of the use of those lands and
causes him inconvenience. Others
are in the same position. They want
redress of their grievances and the
letter of Mr.. Saint submitted through
his attorneys, Messrs Wende and
Taylor, is the first move against the
commissioners. The agitation will be
continued until the result is achieved.
Using Both ROadways.
Mr.. Saint points out through his
attorneys, that under verbal agree
ment with the commissioners the road
around his property, the northeast
quarter of section 26-12-21, was open
ed after he and others had procured
the right-of-way for some 26 miles,
and the county had promised to do
considerable work thereon and close
the trail. The county, it is declared,
has not kept faith. The new road has
been fenced, etc, but the old road or
trail across the lands of the petitioner
and others is still open.
Citizens Want Good Road.
Citizens on numerous occasions
have declared that they believe money
expended on the road between this
city and White Bluffs will be money
we'll invested. 1t has been pointed
out that if the road is made passable,
80 that automobiles can make the run
across in three hours or thereabouts,
there will be a large travel to North
Yakima which now goes by way of
the Columbia river and Kennewick.
The road to which Mr.. Saint refers is
that which runs along through the
gap in the Rattlesnake hills and to
Blackjack.
The question is not only a vital one
to the various owners of property but
to the increasing number of people
interested in the Columbia river coun-
try. 1t is assumd from the fact that
he has engaged attorneys to look after
his interests that Mr.. Saint after
waiting a year or so for the county
commissioners proposes to force ac-
ton.

sTRAHORN AND DONALD AT 1T
North Coast Will Build on Both
Sides of the Yakima River and
Also Branch Into Sunnyside

r. E. Strahorn is to build his North
Coast railroad on both sides of the
Yakima river. George Donald is to
build his Naches & Valley railroad on
the east side of the river. They are
both at 1t now. w. w. Butler of
Granger was out Saturday buying up
right of way in the Parker-Zillah
district for the Donald railroad. r.
E. Strahorn, his chief engineer, and
his right of way agent, Messrs. Pitman
and Woods, respectively, were all in
action Saturday in the Parker-Zillah
district. They had an engineering
crew at work. So had Donald. En-
gineer Marble who is his chief of staff,
got into the game with no less than
20 of a surveying crew and they just
ate their way through the country
from Granger. Strahorn is coming
through the Union gap. Donald is
coming by way of the Mo1ee gap.
Race for Territory.
Between the Union Gap Irrigation
ditch and the bottom at Parker-Zillah
there is not a great deal Of room. The
railroad that gets into action there
first will simplify its task wonderfully.
Both promoters understand this and
they are at 1t in the race for the ter
ritory. Both will make 1t but one will
be behind and be compelled to do all
the fighting. Each is determined that
1t shall be the other. Mr.. Donald has
already announced that he proposes
to move the freight of the Parkeh-Zil-
lah district by his railroad this fall.
Mr.. Strahorn has announced that his
line will be in operation by January,
when its franchise expires. How much
earlier than that date it will get into
action he has not said. Mr.. Donald
may determine that fact for him by
hurrying him up a bit.
Great Things for Granger.
Granger in the meantime is the
whole thing. Mr.. Strahorn proposes
to build from his present line at
Granger to North Yakima on the east
side of the river. He proposes to build
from Granger into Toppenish and be-
yond on the reservation. 1t may be
that he knows something about the
road Incorporated by ]. d. Cornett.
He proposes also to build from Gran
ger to Sunnyside. Granger therefore
will be the junction point of the main
and two branch lines of the North
Coast railroad. 1t is already on the
Northern Pacific railroad Sunnyside
branch and it will be the terminus Of
the Donald railroad. That is going
some for Granger.
News From Right Sources
These announcements are as near to
official as any railroad announce
ment can be. Mr.. Donald announced
his lower valley hopes to several peo-
pie Saturday. Mr.. Strahorn made the
announcement regarding his line at
Granger Saturday to a Herald cores
pondent and he thereby gladdened the
hearts Of the people of Granger. And
for Granger it is great thing. 1t is
also a great thing for the Parker I'll
lah people. It is also great thing
for the laborers who will make their
winter stake in the Yakima valley this
summer and fall.

NAME MRS. GILMAN
MATRON AT A.-Y.-P.
superintendent Haasze Says T1lnl
Work On Grounds Is Progressing
Rapidly.

Mrs. Matte A. Gilman has been APP
pointed to the post of matron of the
Yakima county building at the Alas
ka- fukon-Pacific exposition at Seat

in abstract work at the court house.
She was most highly recommended to
the committee and Superintendent

ed an assistant superintendent and a
fruit purchaser to keep up the exhibit
supply at the building.
Mr.. Haasze, who returned to North
Yakima Thursday from Seattle, says
that the committee which selected the
site of the Yakima county building is
to be congratulated. II is, he says, the
best site on the grounds because it is
second to none other. The same, he
says, will apply to the location of the
county booth in the agricultural build
ing.
Many Car Lines Completed.
Five street car lines have been COM
pleted and are now running into the
grounds. The grounds themselves are
rapidly nearing completion and Mr.
Haasze says that already many ex-
hibits. especially in the forestry build
ing. are placed. The great thing, he
says, for Yakima people to- keep in
mind is that June II and September
% are Yakima days
Ladies of Yakima county have UNI
dertaken to furnish the plants for the
county building and grounds. AL
ready they have raised 5000 of the
money to be needed for their pur-
poses and have started their work
