Inland Empire Car Tow by Conda Wilson Prompts Humorous Tale
An early 20th century account describes a passenger motor car from Nampa that stalled two miles past a summit. Conda Wilson towed the vehicle with a horse line, hauling passengers and crew to the depot, in a scene hailed as the machine’s first dependable motive power. Street cars are set to begin operation in North Yakima soon, with equipment on site and a smaller motor arriving from Portland awaiting a larger unit from the East.
