NEW YORK CASH STORE, 11 Yakima Avenue. 'Phone 1571. NORTH YAKIMA, WASHINGTON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL H, 1903. THE SUBURBAN RAILWAY SHOULD NOW BE ASSURED .1. P. .U'Nau*|tit Keturns Prom New York With Definite Proposition. Electric Power Abandoned. Mr. Joseph F McNsoght returned ' this week from New York, where lie has been for the purpose nf furthering the interests of the system of electric mads projected by him tn radiate from North Yakiina He has spent the better part of fie months in New York,and has re turned to make a definite announcement to the people here, and that announce ment can best he given in his own words. Mr. Mi-Naught said in answer to an in quiry from a Hkkai.d reporter: "When I went to New York I was profoundly impressed with the idea that a system of electric roads was the proper ; thing for this locality. There have been | a great many roads of thai kind built In localities furnishing as much traffic as the country along the line of the pro posed roads here would furnish, and it hud been generully supposed that such roads were financially successful, That opinion continued to prevail in ! New York until about the first of Janu ary, when twenty-one electric roads sub I Stantlally similar tO the ones proposed i here, went into the hands of receivers. I This worked an entire change in public sentiment, so that it became Impossible j to secure Ihe money in New York for the construction of such a system as we had contemplated here. "I would not have it understood that mo electric roads are paying; but roads having conditions similar to those here are not paying ; and in many instances the electrical equipment is being re placed with steam. Interurban roads, such as the road between Seattle and Tacoma, where passenger traffic is heavy, are paying, but no road where the conditions are similar to those here is a profitable investment where equip ped with electricity as a motive power. "I consulted some of the most eminent electrical specialists in the country, and after the first of January I became firmly convinced that tliere was but one means by which the system here can be constructed and successfully operateii, namely: by means nfsstuam. "In other words, the enterprise has arrived at the point where the people of Yakiina county must content themselves with a steam mad or none. I have re turned to submit the question to your people as to whether the same proposals will hold good for a steam road that were made for the construction of an electric system. If so, the capital is ready, subject to a favorable report from the engineer representing New York parties, who have agreed to furnish it, and he is expected here withiu a fort night. Thereafter the work will com mence as soon as the rights-of-way are obtained by the committee and arrange ments made for building the bridge across the Yakima river. I havesecured the terminals myself, so that the people are relieved of that burden. "There has been a good deal of senti ment in favor of electric roads, I know, but my investigation discloses that there ie a locomotive built similar to those operated upon the elevated roads iv New York City, that do not give out any sparks, and that can be stopped and started as easily as an electric car. Any one who has traveled on tlis* elevated roads in New York, will remember that there are no sparks falling upon the jieo ple in the streets below, and that the trains run with great speed, making I numerous stops and developing a high | speed within a few seconds when started ■ again. Witli that class of locomotives. ' service can be as conveniently arranged Ito accommodate the travel and traffic ! along the lines of the roads as theopera- I tion of the same by electricity. These i locomotives are not noiseless, hut they are not nearly so noisy as the ordinary locomotive. "lii this connection I was surprised to | find in the East that the farmers 808- I sider the electric car a good ileal more objectionable than the locomotive. The ] electric car seems to move without any ! apparent motive iniwer at all. and it | ] takes horses a jtsxl deal more time to |'get used to that kind of a car than it docs to the -l.iiiii locomotive. 1 observed also, that idling the steam railnmds in the Fast, county roads run parallel with the railroads. Thnt seems to be a favor | ite iviiv of laying out minis in the Kast. Horses in the country soon become as much accustomed to the steam locomo tives as ilu hurst's in town. "We have planned a standard gunge system of roads to the end that North ern Pacific cars may be operated over our lines, thereby enabling the farmer to load a car at or near his own door, from which it will be transported direct to its point of destination, avoiding the expense of re-|uading and transfers at North Yakima. ' We hope to begin active construction aw soon as the conditions are complied i with. Work wili be commenced, of course, upon the Sunnyside line lirst, and the Natchez, and Ahtaiiutn will fol low later, hut the whole will be con structed as fast as reasonable business . judgment would dictate, that Is tn say, the work will be con tinuousl) prosecuted until completed on all the linen." Mr. McNaught is lookin; well, and he met with a very Battering reception from our people, and particularly the committee, which commended him in the highest terms. A New Carrier on the 15th Postmaster W. L. Lemon received a telegram Tuesday morning from the postofflee department authorising the appointment of another mail carrier in this offce tn take effect on the loth inst. Two complete deliver es a day will now he given the patrons of the service, | which will no doubt prove a gratifying piece of news. It has been through the efforts of Congressman W. L. Jones that North Yakiina has secured the additional carrier. Postmaster Lemon says either Will Pathe or ,T. W. Right-1 mire will be put on the route. County Commissioners. The county commissioners convened in the court house last.

Orlando Heck was reappointed fruit Inspector in compliance with the new horticultural law. One of the most important matters handled by the commissioners at this session to date was thi' rejected petition of Al Beilstein for license to carry on a saloon business at Mabton. The ma jority of the legal voters of Mabton were opposed to grunting the petition, and it was accordingly rejected. John Miles was appointed mad super visor of road district No. 17 to succeed the supervisor who failed to qualify. The Commissioners will remain in ses , sion tlie remainder of the week. Plans for New Court House. E. W. Sankev, the local architect re ; cently here from Seattle, has drawn up plans and specifications for a new court house that will cost $40,000.
