OTELLO AN INDUSTRIAL
CENTER

Othello became a town with
in a few days. Hotels were
built to house the workmen.
who found themselves in the
odd situation of living at divi-
sion point where there was no
town. Following the hotels,
came hastily constructed
stores, and a few roughly-built
houses. The Milwaukee Rail
road company recognized the
Importance of Othello and
graded its streets and an
nounced that a water works
system would be built at once.
Trade from every direction
began pouring into the young
city, and the shipments of
wheat and farm products from
the new point began to aston
ish the officers of the railroad,
who looked over the shipping
reports and were attracted by
the big figures furnished by the
new division point. Othello
became one of the principal
wheat shipping points before
the city was half a year old.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-02-20

The materials manufactured
are widely used and have taken
the place of slate, cement and
marble in a large degree in
Europe. The factories for ma
king the products are necessar-
lily large and employ a great
many men. Fuel must be close
at hand. Shipping facilities in
every direction must be afford
ed, for the products of the big
plant must be shipped to all
parts of the country.
The officers of the American
Slate Products Company were
approached and interested in
the advantages Of Othello, as
being the ideal location for
their huge works. A trip to
the city itself caused them to
decide in it's favor, and a deal
was made whereby the r. S.
King Company, an investment
house closely associated with
the American Slate Products
Company, bought outright the
city of Othello, from the Chica-
go, Milwaukee & Puget Sound
Railroad.
A part of the deal, which
caused great deal of discus
sion in financial circles, a few
weeks ago, was the agreement
of the Slate Products Company
to locate its plant at Othello,
and the r. S. King Company
gave the railroad company it's
bond, with heavy sureties,
guaranteeing that the plant
would be built.
True to the promises of it's
hackers in every way, construc-
ton work upon the great slate
products plant is now under
way and being pushed as rap.

A LAND OF PLENTY

If anyone had conceived of
the Importance of the spot at
the crossing of these two val
leys, from a commercial stand
point, he lacked either ability
or finances to take advantage
of his discovery, for the most
highly favored site for a city,
in Eastern Washington, was a
ranch until less than a year
ago, when the railroad ran it's
trains across it's new road, and
the City of OTHELLO came
into being.
OTHELLO became a city by
natural process. Trains were
made up, engines were re-
paired, crews were changed,
engines coaled and the vast
work of railroading could be
carried on with least effort and
least expense at OTHELLO. So
OTHELLO was made a divi-
sional point. Shops, with ma
chinery for keeping up locomo-
tives, cars, airbrakes and the
general equipment of a great
railroad, were built as quickly
as human energy would permit.
Roundhouses were built to
house the engines which are
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-02-20

When the great Chicago, Mil
waukee & Puget Sound Rail
way system reached the center
of the state Of Washington it
came to- a marvellous crossroads
of two rich valleys, extending
east and west and north and
south. The valleys, though in a
wilderness, so far as transport
alton facilities were concerned,
had been widely known for
many years, by the prodigious
crops of wheat, fruit and grain
they had produced, and the
prize-winning sheep they had
given to the markets of the
West. These are the Crab
Greek Valley and the Big Bend
country.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-02-20

already been built at Othello.
Social organizations and clubs
complete the civic life of the
new citizens. Hotels Of high
class are there to accommodate
the travellers who crowd the
busy city daily. But there is
room for more hotels and res
taurants and boarding houses,
for those already there are
crowded to their limit and be-
You'd.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-02-20

Element to the estate of a great
city will be, in all probability,
the last of the great processes
of city-building, from the be-
ginning, the west will witness.
Spokane can never live over
again the days when those who
owned a city lot or two, pur-
chased for practically nothing,
became millionaires in a few
months, through their hold
ings. Portland and San Fran
cisco and Seattle are big cities
now. They can no longer give
to the pioneer who buys a lot
or two in the center Of the
TOWNSHIP, a life of luxury in re-
turn for his far sightedness, for
the very good reason that none
but a millionaire can now buy
the lot in the townsite. 1t is in
her opportunities that Othello
is great.

SHOW REMARKABLE
GROWTH

Othello is enjoying a growth |
such as few cities have ever
known. Its immense agricul-
tural resources alone would be
sufficient to assure it future
as one of the great cities of the
state. It's fruit is of the same |
high quality, both as to the del
icate coloring and the exquisite
flavor, as the product Of the
famous Wenatchee and Yak
ina valleys. In fact, keen
judges say Othello fruit is the
perfection of pomology, pos
sessing all that is highest in
quality of both the older fruit |
regions. Certain it is that the
Moses Lake, Crab Creek and
Big Bend valleys, which con
verge at Othello, are situated
squarely between the Wenat-
chez valley to the north and
the Yakima valley to the south.
The chemical analyses of the
soil give practically the same
ingredients in the same proper
tons as the wonderful volcanic
ash ground Of these "world fa-
nous" fruit districts. The
fruit of the Hood River coun-
try is said to be practically the
same quality as the Othello
fruit. aa
Othello Highlands, large
area of the choicest fruit land
in the vicinity, was bought up
by group of capitalists asso-
ciated with the r. S. King
Company, and will be placed
on the market shortly in small
tracts, upon easy payments, to
encourage the rapid develop
ment of the fruit industry in
the vicinity. The Highlands
lie just back of the city and af-
ford a gorgeous view of the
surrounding country. The
trains, as they come into the
city, from every direction, are

RAILROADS PLAN BIG
THINGS

Recently an announcement
was made by President Ear
ling, of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee e. Puget Sound Railroad,
that a line would be built north
and south from Othello at once.
In an interview in the Seattle
Post Intelligencer, President
Earring said:

GREAT FACTORY"
SECURES SITE

Then came the great event in
the career of the prosperous
young city. The American
Slate Products Company was
organized by Seattle and east
ern capitalists, to manufacture
slate products under a German
patent, to which the syndicate
holds all the American rights.
