State water code fuels early legislative clash
Representative Rowland of Benton county leads opposition to a new state water code drafted by a 17 member commission. He argues the panel overrepresents big corporations and leaves water users underrepresented. Hearings prompted broad constituent telegrams opposing the measure while some lawmakers await a final decision on whether to introduce it as a committee bill.

Northern Pacific plans new Ritzville to Ellensburg cut off
Plans for a 115 mile cut-off from Ritzville to Ellensburg were approved at the Northern Pacific main office and construction is expected soon. The route would cost about 4 million dollars and shave 90 miles from the Spokane Seattle trip to 310 miles, the shortest link between those cities. Bids are invited for the Grandview to Gibbon extension, a 12 mile link costing around 120000 dollars, connecting Granger Sunnyside and Grandview to the main line while Prosser risks remaining on a side track unless it relocates to North Prosser for the new town.
