NORTH COAST HERE JUNE l.
President Srahorn Announces
That New Railroad Will Be
Complete Into Yakima.

President Robert e. Strahorn, of the
North Coast, believes that railroad
will be completed into North Yakima
before June 1, 1910, and will handle
some of the early fruit crop of the
valley, according to Spokane dis
patch. After his recent visit to North
Yakima, he made trip over the
North Coast line and found that the
crews were doing rapid construction
work.
Travellers over the Northern Pacific
railio DAD report that track laying near
Kennewick has been completed and
that the grading crews are putting the
finishing touches on the line between
Kiona and Granger. From Grange
to Union Gap, there are several crews
at work. The following is the dis
patch from Spokane:
"Trains will be running over the
North Coast railroad into North Yak
ina before June 1, 1910" said Rob-
ert E. Strahorn, president of the North
Coast railroad, yesterday, on his re-
turn from a trip to Seattle and North
Yakima. While in the Yakima valley
for a couple of days President Stra-
horn made an inspection of the con-
struction work being done between
North Yakima and Kennewick. and
returned to Spokane feeling that
everything is being pushed rapidly.
When asked as to the connection
of the North Coast for transportation
of produce out of the Yakima coun-
try President Strahorn said that his
road only will be operated this sum-
mer between North Yakima and the
Columbia river, that the Columbia
river bridge will be completed and in
use and that he can not discuss traf-
fic agreement subjects at the present
time.
The o. r. & N. railroad has tracks
on the east side of the Columbia river
where the North Coast crosses that
stream, and is considered the only pos
sible eastern outlet for the new rail-
road.
I'VE will be able to handle part nf
the Yakima peach crop this sum inner
and take care of our share of the
apple and hay business during the late
summer and fall" said President Stra-
horn. 81 have said this to the Yakma
ranchers and mean to fulfill that
promise"

ANOTHER MOVE IN
HIGH LINE DITCH
Engineers Meet at Ellensburg to

The fate of the Kittitas project and

the outcome. The matter, however,

Money Biggest Problem.
That the report will be favorable,
however, there appears to be little
doubt as the engineers themselves be-
lieve that the money problem Is the
most severe to be encountered. This
Is clearly set forth by Mr.. Henry in
statement he made at Ellensburg
which Is as follows:
Our work is to go over the maps
and prof1les and figures that were
made by Mr.. Baldwin and ass,
last summer and fall. We have no
power to decide upon whether the

facts submitted, draw up report
