STRAHORN PREPARES
TO RECEIVE RAILS
Northern Pacific Shows Better Feeling
by Laying Branch Line for De.
livery of the Steel.

Whatever have been the differences
between the Northern Pacific and
North Coast railroads they appear to
have been adjusted when George DON
aid and r. f. Strahorn dined tete a
tete at the Yakima hotel some time
ago and formally settled their argu-
ment regarding the routes of the re-
spective roads through the Yakima
valley. Since then other matters In
dispute appear to have been amicably
arranged and now the Northern Pa
cific engaged, at kennewick, in the
construction of a short branch line to
facilitate the handling of steel rails
for Mr. Strahorn for his North Coast
road Workmen of the Northern Pa
cif1c railroad are now constructing the
track which will take the North Coast
on the roadbed near the crossing Of
the river from which they can easily
be handled by the Strahorn employees.
This fact means also that the North
Coast is expecting the early delivery
of its steel for the line and this in its
means that the actual laying of rails,
a thing lon hoped for, Is in the near
future.
Word has reached North Yakima
that the Strahorn people are very ac-
tive in their operations near Zillah
and that they may be expected at no
distant date to make an appearance
just below the gap south of this city.

unusually quick communication with
San Francisco, Alaska and other coast
points, north and south, and that to
them the wireless has grown to be a
necessity. giving as it does unusually
rapid communication with distant
points. For this reason Mr.. Steinweg
considered it a good thing for North
Yakima to have a station located here,
and. accordingly he is providing the
necessary ground for the purpose.

Searching about as he always is for
attractions for Sumach park, it oc-
Cured to Mr.. Steinweg that a wire
less station there would, in addition
to being of service, prove of interest
to park visitors and an educational
feature as well. Considerable ground
is needed because of the spread of the
guy lines for the 200-foot pole. BY
the arrangements made both the com
pany and the patrons can use this
ground and a public utility be con
verted into a public attraction.
Arrangements for the occupancy
of the land have about been COM
pleted and Mr.. Cooper and his COM
pany will at once set to work pre-
pairing for the establishment of a
wireless station here.

in Jail.

H. H. Miller, proprietor of the
Yakima livery stables on north Front

interfering with traffic. According to
Miller, he was locked up without the
privilege of seeing an attorney or CIV

that it is an effort on the part Of the
policemen to injure his reputation.
I'm leaving the wagons on one side
of the street." said Miller, II was do

FLOUR GOES DOWN
BUTTER COMES UP.
Chances Are That There VIII be Other
Changes in Price of the Stuff
From Which Bread Is Made.

Flour has gone down. butter has
gone up and eggs are hard to pro-
cure. There will be another drop in
-four; there is ample opportunity for
butter to become more expensive and
when the hop pickers and other ranch
hands have scattered the egg supply
will concentrate in the city. So far
as the retailer is concerned butter has
advanced five cents a two pound roll
and is now at IS cents. 1t is whole
sailing at 81 1-2 cents per pound. Flour
has been reduced 10 cents per sack
and Yakima Best is now retailed at
$1.55. 1t is altogether probable
that there will be another reduction.
