Bile, 1--WE will make use of local helI
and will purchase our supplies from
local houses provided that we find
that we can do SO on a reasonable
basis compared with what we can dc
elsewhere. I expect that we will be
able to do a great deal of our lumber
hardware, food supply and such BUSH
ness with firms located here.
VIII Have Large Crew
We will have five or six hundred
men on the work and will establish
several camps. I am planning on
bringing some of my own teams here
as the service thus obtained will be
more regular, You people have had
a great deal of ditch, railroad and
other work done here in the past few
=
your community considerable num-
Der of people trained to the work that
we are undertaking. Such as / find
l expect to use.
Will Work Night and Day
Our work will be carried forward
night and day after it is once begun
and | expect that we will be operat-
ing in the field Sor the next six
months. The effort will be made to
do the work in the next four months
but it is just possible that we will be
at it for a month or two longer Be-
cause of the character of thework it
must be handled more slowly than
would be the case in some other
kinds of construction, An immense
quantity of the material will need to
be removed and that VIII govern the
speed to some extent.
Use Stone at River
Where We cross the river we will
use great deal of the stone we will
be compelled to take out and we will
use a considerable quantity of the ma
terial as a fill In the trest1e where we
approach the bridge. As our center
line is but fifty feet away from the
center line of the Northern Pacific
We will not be able TO do much pow
der work and because of the necessi-
ty for pulling out the material we will
not be able to make the best use of
big shovels.
Just what we will do in the way
of getting down our concrete piers
for the bridge | do not know as
have something to learn with regard
to the river and the likelihood of hign
water. We are here, however, to
push the work and as I stated expect
to employ about 600 men and work
night and day shifts"

Railway Takes up Completion of
Its Columbia River Route
Down From Beverly
MAY ENTER THIS VALLEY
IN NEXT TWELVE MONTHS
Most Generally Accepted Theory
Is That 1t Will Come in From
the East Over the Rails of the
Hartman System

Once again the rumor is afoat that
the Milwaukee railroad will be oper-
ating in this city within year. This
rumor has found considerable cur
rency the past couple of days and Is
based on the activity which the rail-
road people are showing in the Priest
Rapids section. Beyond question
crews representing the Milwaukee
are engaged there in the construction,
on the west side or the Columbia of
q railroad from West Beverly to Han
ford. Surveying crews have been on
the ground for some time and within
the past few days a couple of car
loads Of commissary stuff have been
set aside for the work and steam
shovels and other paraphernalia as
sembled for the construction. These
preparations have been actually seen
and have been reported to others.
Actual Work in Progress
The actual construction work in
progress between Beverly has lead to
other rumors regarding the approach
of the Milwaukee to this valley for
the freight that Is Offering here. One
report is that the railroad proposes
to make big loop, coming to North
Yakima from the Columbia river
country by big swing which will
bring it into this valley across the
reservation and that it will go out
from here by the way of the Yakima
Canyon to join it's own line again at
Ellensburg.
Another rumor is that 1t will build
until 1t joins the o. w. r. G. n from
which. with the completion of its
present undertaking it will be sepa-
rated by fifteen or twenty miles only
and that it will find an entrance to
North Yakima by running privileges
over the Hartman line. Any con-
nection between North Yakima and
the Columbia river country will be
great boon to this town
Benefit Recognized
The Pacific Power & Light people,
perhaps better than any others re-
alze what the development of the
Columbia river valley will be as they
are expending thousands in anticipa-
ton of what is to come Just now
North Yakima has no connection ex-
cept a more or less tedious roadway
with White Bluffs and Hanford Al
rail connection will be fine thing
for the merchants of this valley
There seems to be no doubt what
ever that the Great Northern rail-
way also intends to build down the
Columbia river to Pascc where it
will connect up with present Hill con-
struction leading to Portland Ar
engagements are now about completed
for the extension of the Great North
ern from Wenatchee through to the
Canadian boundary on the north and
it is fully anticipated that line will
be dropped from some point on the

SUGAR TRUST EVILS
OVERCOME ITS GOOD

buckle Bros, there is said to a con-
dition of armed neutrality"
The refining margin on sugar has
reached trine over SIC a hundred
pounds, according to the report This
was lowest during the Arbuckle war
in 1S99-50c. and prior to the or
ganization of the trust" in 1887 was
S1.25. The committee gives no credit
to the trust for reducing the cost of
sugar, but reports that in 1870 sugar
cost 1870 a pound, and in 1911 the
price of sugar was 4.97 cents a pound.
1t reports that in 1910 the world S
supply of sugar was 100000 tons,
of which sos per cent was beet SUI
gar.
Cost Not Decreased
The largest sugar consuming coun-
tries of the world were the United
Kingdom. S6.3 pounds per capita, and
the United States, Sis pounds.
The committee followed instructions
in reporting whether the existence of
a trust had any tendency to decrease
the price of sugar cane and beets to
the producer. 1t reported that the
Louisiana cane grower is discrimin-
ated against by an arbitrary ruling Of
the trust but that the Hawaiian
platner is Independent or the beet
sugar growers the report says:
your committee reports that the
evidence as taken does not disclose
com binations between manufa cturers
in the beet sugar industry that have
caused or had a tendency to cause a
decease in the cost of sugar beets.''
