It Ia said that the mules which are

Ter work than those which we're offer

counts for the fact that more big

the "Wet" Towns Of the
Yakima Valley.

Granger. junction point of the
Northern Pacific, North Coast and

cupies unique place among the
wet" towns of the Yakima valley. In
fact, the little municipality has two
distinctions, either or which pace It
conspicuously on the map.
Only one saloon license has been
that one saloon is to be carefully reg
ulated and every city ordinance and
state law enforced.
But the city ordinances do not say
whether beer shall cost five cents or
ten cents or a dollar a drink. And
the proprietor has given the town a
second distinction by deciding that
ten cents is the right price for beer
There are a few backwoods towns
that charge ten cents for beer, simply
because transportation expense is high
but no other one city or town in
Yakima or Benton counties Is plac-
ing that price on a single glass of
beer. In fact, Yakima man who
was charged twenty cents for two
drinks was 80 surprised that he
brought the news to this city. AT
least one Granger man has decided
that the saloon man can sell at ten
cents, but not to him. He ordered a
barrel of bottle goods from a North
Yakima dealer Thursday and intends
to have the pint bottles ready for his
own consumption.
Meantime, beer can be bought at
four towns in Yakima county and two
In Benton county for the same old
price, Ave cents a glass, and Changers

his mind.

ROAD THROUGH GAP
PUzz[|NG QUESTION
Interests of County There Are
Vital and Railroad Construction
Makes Topic Live One.

One Of the problems which the
comm issioners Of Yakima county
have before them Is that of the coun-
ty road through Union Gap. Because
OF the construction Of the North Coast
railroad a change in the county road
through the gap has been necessitat-
ed. Whether 1t Is better to have tho
road east Of the tracks and along the
river front or west of the tracks and
along under the bluff il a question.
In one case there will be no crossings
of the railroads and in the other case
numerous crossings will be necessary.
Where the crossings are done away
with. however. the uncertainties OF
the Yakima river come in. The ques-
tons of procuring undergrade aud
overhead crossings also confuses the
situation. t
In general the county commission
ers feel that the matter is up to the
state railroad commissioners D1d the
North Coast railroad. However there
are vital county interests to be pro-
tected which will become more i'm
portant in the future IL an electric
line ever follows the county road
through the gap. In this event the
width of the roadway becomes i'm
portant 1t is altogether probable
that the question will be discussed
today by the commissioners and En-
gineer Pitman.
