Public Service Commission De.
cides Against Him in Request
for Crossing O.-W. r. & N.
GIVES HIM PRIVILEGE BUT
AT CONSIDERABLE COST
Point at Issue, According to Rail-
way Men, Is Whether Northern
Pacific Can Get Use of Harri-
man Bridge Across the Yakima

George Donald's railway may build
across the tracks of the O.-W. r. &
N. company at Parker provided that
Mr.. Donald is willing to install an in
terlocking device similar to that
which was required of the Hartman
lines when it desired to cross the
Northern Pacific just below the I'm
ion gap when it was building to this
city. This was decided Saturday by
the public service commission of the
state after visit made to Parker
and a hearing held at the parlors of
the Yakima hotel. When an inter
locking device was required of the
O.-W. r. & n. company it was felt
that a costly piece of work had been
placed in it's way but the contention
was that it was necessary as Il safety
device. This was again contended
Saturday when the positions were re-
versed and it was a crossing that was
sought by the n. P. interests. The
order was the result of petition by
Mr. Donald on behalf of his railway
asking that the O.-W. r. & \. be
compelled to allow him to establish q
crossing.
1t is not thought to be likely that
Mr.. Donald will favor the eXpendi-
ture necessary for the interlocking
device but that he will make con-
cessions in other ways that will bring
about an agreement between the two
railroads. The Donald line, which
runs to the east of the Hartman
line in the Parker country, comes up
70 al 10 wi
two roads cross the river and seeks
to cross it here and run into the res
erva ton town of Parker and then, to
the west of the Hartman line, couple
up with the main line of the North
ern Pacific. The Hartman people
want to keep the Donald railway to
the east of them on the reservation
and have it couple up with the main
line of the Northern Pacific just west
of the present interlocking device.
This plan will do away with the need
Of a crossing.
That Mr.. Donald is anxious to use
the O.-W r. G. n. bridge on which
to cross the Yakima river came out
in the hearing and it was testified
that such a proposal had been made.
Mr. Strahorn, however, wanted, if
he made that concession, to have
other matters in dispute settled at the
same time as part of the agreement.
Mr.. Donald was not willing for this
and the negotiations fell through.
Mr.. Donald however continued to
build his line on a route that would
bring it up to the Hartman crossing
of the Yakima and it is the feeling
of the railway men that he will con-
sent to remain to the eastward pro-
vided he gets the use of the bridge.
The matter appears to be bit of
railway politics with the latest move
that of the state commission. which
REQUIRES the interlocking device which
is an expensive affair.

SERVICE
FOR SUb-vALLEYS

An extension of its express service
is to be made by the Northern Ex-
press company into the Naches and
Mckee valleys. This extension will be
made within the next 60 days. 1t Is
impossible to make it in any briefer
time as the schedule must be filed with
the interstate commerce commission.
The extension of the service into the
Naches Is the result of a hearing be-
fore the state public service commits
sion held in this city Saturday at the
Yakima hotel. The extension into the
Mckee goes along with it because such
an express service extension had been
contemplated for some time. The peo-
of the Naches wanted a railway sta
ton agent and other concessions and
as long ago as January last filed an
application for a hearing before the
public service commission.
Agency Is Refused
The agency refused by the commits
sioners because the earnings of the
railway do not show total OF $12,-
900 annually. which is the amount
fixed by the commission as that which
must be reached before it will de-
|termne a station to be necessary. It
appeared from the evidence that the
Naches Valley railroad earns about
IS. annually for freight shipped in
less than carload lots. The earnings
Of the passenger department are about
$4,000. A maximum switching charge
|of SO per car for freight switched
from the Naches branch to the North
ern Pacific was fixed.
