NORTHWESTERN
R. R. IS COMING
Report Is Brought Here That Its
Trains Are to Be Routed Over
the North Pacific
BURLINGTON TO CHANGE
TO THE GREAT NORTHERN
Such Is a Rumor Circulated in
North Yakima Following Stories
to Effect That Some Such
Change Was Probable

Burlington trains, after May %,
are to be routed over the Great
Northern railway ana the Northwest
ern trains will find their way to the
Pacific coast over the Northern Pa
cific railway. This is statement
which was made in North Yakima
Saturday by a railway man who had
just come from the east and who said
that such was the report current in
railway circles which he had moved
in.
That the Chicago & Northwestern
railway company had taken over
some of the Hill interests in the
Northern Pacific railway is a report
which has been in circulation here
for some time and from time to TIM
the matter has appeared in print in
different parts of the country, which
indicated the rumor to be pretty
widespread in it's character. North
Yakima people will be pleased if the
report proves to he true, as the OPP
portunitias opened up by the active
operation of the Northwestern in this
section will be of undoubted advan-
tage.

Steers for Sale Here

There is Il meat war on in North
Yakima. Prices are being cut right

butchers. The trouble started d few
days ago when a carload of corn fed

cred. The Yakima Meat company,
which has been supplying the local
butchers. Immediately thensafter re-
duccd rates and the butchers IN ct
them on that ground. The local but
cheers before they bought the eastern
beef, which by the way local con-
sumcrs have greatly enjoyed, gave
the Yakima Meat company an OPP
portunity to meet the eastern prices
but there was a difference of half
cent a pound or some such thing
between them. That is where the
trouble began. The butchers bought
the outside stuff and since then rates
have been dropping.

VALLEY RAIL WAY IS
EXTENDING ITS LINES
Will Join Its Granger Branch Up
With the Northern Pacific
Near Parker

Workmen are engaged in roadbed
construction for the North Yakima d
Valley railway to the end that its
Granger line through Zllah may be
extended, either to North Yakima or
to a connection with the Northern Pa
cific railway near Parker. It is in
tended to have the rOadbcd completed
and in use in time to handle tn"
freight which will offer this season.
Men and teams are now at work noar
the Sawyer place at Parker. a con-
tract having been made with Dan Mac
Donald former county commissioner,
for the roadbed construction.
There is probability that the track
will connect up with the Northern
Pacific just across from Parker. This
will be the case if plans for a joint
user of the o. w. Il. & \. bridge
across the Yakima river can be ar
rived at and completed, Otherwise the
valley road will come in over its own
rails the entire distance.
Rumors have been aHoat for several
DAYS to the effect that the valley rail-
way contemplates almost immediate
work in the extension of its lines into
the Cowiche valley. President George
Donald. speaking Of this last evening
said that while such an extension had
been in contemplation for some time
no definite decision has been arrived
at and the report that the work is Ia
be done at once is premature.
