NORTHERN PACIFIC PLANNING
TO GIVE MUCH IMPROVED
SERVICE,
New Extension Will be From Grand
view to Gibbon, a Station On the
Main Line.

PROSSER, Wash. oct. 6.-(SpeclaD
Another corps of Northern Pacific
surveyors have b en- through here the
past week locating Il permanent right
Sunnyside branch from Grandview to
Gib5on station on the main line of
the \. p. about eight miles east of here
The hight Of way has all been staked
out from Gibbon to the point where the
new line is to cross the recently con-
structed Mabton siphon, some eight
miles west Of here. There will prob
ably be some difficulty in crossing the
siphon by the railroad. but it is to be
hoped that all difficulties in the way
of securing the right of way will be
speedily removed as the completion of
means a great deal, not only to Pros
ser and this district. but to the famous
Sunnyside valley. which will be greatly
benefited by the extentiOn of the branch
line.
At pr sent the whole of the Sun
nyside valley, Which will be greatly
benefited by the extension of the
branch line.
At present the whole of the Sun
nyside valley is on a branch line of
the Northern Pacific. and. as the line
at present gives VERY poor service,
causing much delay in the transport
ing of fruit and other products from
Sunnyside to the large markets of the
state and tie northwest. it is hoped by
the residents here and in the Sunny
side district that this will be speedily
rem died.
A former survey of the extension
was made a short time ago. and the
party that have been in here the past
week or ten days. are here for the pur
pose of definitely locating the line so
that work may commence on it as soon
as possible.
The land that will be crossed by the
extention is some of the finest fruit
land in the state and the right of way
that will be needed for the road will
cost the company a large sum. Mr. Da
Wis. the right of-way man for the
company. who was in here a short time

ago making estimat of what the
company will have to pay for the land
used, said
Il do not think that the company
will pay over a thousand dollars an
acre for the land. as having made in
quiries here, l find that that is about
as high as the land will be valued
here. Of course we will experience
difficulty in securing the right of way
from some people but that is to be
expected On the whole | think that
per acre for the land for the company,
as | understand that it is the desire
Of the officials to have this line put
through as quickly as possible.
The greater part of the people in the
Prosser district and in the Sunnyside
valley are anxiously awaiting the
completion Of the road and there will
be but very little trouble experienced
in securing the right of way is the
general belief here.
The foreman in charge of the sur
veyOrS that We're here the past week
said that he, also. understood that 1t
was the desire of the officials to have
the road rushed to speedy completion.
He said that there was some mistake
made when the other crew was here
and that the grade from GibbOn to
Grandview was not nearly so heavy as
had been reported.
Should this report be true and the
grade be a very low one instead of
heavy one it would probably mean that
a part Of the main line traffic would
be run over this line in connection
with the present main line.

The greatest discussion aroused
here h. TAFT was the announcement of
his favor of ship subsidy. also tn
announcement that there wouldn't be

Regarding the battleships. Taft said

Verrazzanno was sailing under the
flag of Francis | of France when in
1924 according to the assertions of
those who advocate his cause, he an
chored in the lower bay and three days
later sailed short distance up the
Hudson river. Verrazzanno's claim
is based largely on letter he wrote
to his king on his return to France in
1925. Four years later his brother
drew a map of the country about the
island of Manhattan, and in 1o42 a
globe was made by one Ulpsins, which

Il haXe examined the financial rec
ords of all officials from August l.
1907. to july 81, 1904 period of
two years and am glad to report
that l have found no errors of any
Importance. Some clerical errors
We're discovered, but all were of a
petty nature. and do not reflect in
any way upon the integrity of the
officials. Proper correcting entries
have been made, where any of the
present accounts We're affected. When
it is recalled that the former account
ing methods provided no control of
accounts, nor any way of quickly
proving the presence of errors, the
close Alteration that has been paid to
each detail is clearly evidenced.
Il believe that almost every mat
ter concerning the finances of the
City. including property valuations,
taxation, licenses and expenditures,
has been thoroughly discussed with
every member of your Honorable
Body, as we'll as the reorganization
of the accounting system. And I wish
