RAILROAD WILL USE TWO
ENTIRE BLOCKS
New Structure Will Run From Street
to the Avenue Line, Where the
Express Office Will Be.

When North Yakima gets its new
Northern Pacific railway station,
which will cost approximately $75 600,
the railroad company will own a
structure which will extend practical
ly from B street to the avenue line
on Yakima avenue. The station
proper will be on the B street end,
then will come the baggage rooms and
the express office. 1t is understood
that the express office will be con-
structed flush up with the avenue
line, so that the railroad will occupy
territory now used by teams and au-
tomobiles which approach the station
from the south.
The main portion of the station
building will be of two stories and the
center will be nearly opposite the end
of A street. The exterior is to be of
gray pressed brick and red thing for
the roof. At each end of the building
will be a covered platform and the
platforms will be of paving brick.
The entire roof will be level, as the
portion of the building not devoted to
offices on the second floor will have a
vaulted roof of the same height as the
main building. That portion of the
structure will be 230 by so feet.

to Mr.. Smith who, witnesses to the
accident say was driving his machine
very slow. Mrs. Weikel was taken
to her home Immediately and her in

late hour Tuesday evening she was
resting easily although the pain had
not abated entirely.

LOWER COUNTY FOLK
SEEKING A BRIDGE,
Petitioners From the MabtOn-B Byron

Two petitions have been sent into
the county commissioners asking for
bridge across the Yakima river at
the lower end of the county. One pc
tition is by the people of Mabton, who
ask for a bridge a short distance east
of that town. The second is from the
orchardists opposite Byron, who ask
for bridge directly across at Byron.

Mabton people it will take them far
Their away from Prosser in some re-
spects and make the trip to Byron a
roundabout one, whereas a site di-
rectly opposite Byron will not in
crease the distance to Mabton.
The suggestion was made that the
bridge be built on the Benton county
line and that that county be asked to
contribute toward the expense. But
it is understood the new county will
not agree. For one thing it has no
money for the purpose and for an
other it will not undertake a piece of
development which would appear to
take away f. ON Prosser some of the
country now tributary to it. Men in
terested in Byron were before the
county commissioners for several
hours Monday urging that the struc-
ture be constructed across the river
opposite that town. The original
site, however, two miles from the
county line and between Byron and
Mabton, is that favored by the COM
missioners, as it is favored by the ma
jOrity of the people interested. 1t is
understood that the county will build,
and at the site asked by the Mabton
petitioners.

HALF WAY TO SEATTLE IN
OCEAN TO OCEAN RACE
Cars Running Neck and Neck in Big
Contcst-AIany Difficulties Encoun-
tered, But Few Accidents Occur

The ocean to ocean race from New
York to Seattle and the A.-Y.-P. has
now been in progress thirteen days, or
just about half the time it is expected
the first machine to take to reach
Seattle. To those who are interested
in the race-and who is not?- and
have read only the little scrappy tele-
grams which have come over the wire
and have probably missed some of
these, resume of the whole journey
will prove interesting.
AS is well known, five machines
were started from New York on the
first of June by Mayor McClelland
who fired a gold-mounted revolver as
the starting gun. A sixth car was de-
layed, owing to the non-delivery of
certain essential parts, but subse-
quently followed the first five.
Go as They Please.
The pacemaker, with John Ger
rick aboard, preceded the bunch, and
that car remained ahead till Kansas
City was reached, when the contest
ants were allowed to go as they pleas
ed.
The next after leaving New York
that was heard of the racers, was
from Buffalo. on June 3rd, where they
arrived almost together at AIS in the
afternoon. And so on to Erie, Pa,
where the first misadventure occur
red. This was on June 4th, when
Ray Sheets, the driver of the pilot
car was arrested for speeding. Some
