Yakima City's Rail Road Future Urges Ready Growth
G B Kuykendall argues the Northern Pacific will pass through the Yakima country soon, bringing population and demand for farm products. Farmers urged to fix up farms, attract emigrants, and build schools and businesses to capitalize on incoming rail access, with Spokane Falls similarly urged to prepare. Resolutions favor Chicago Republican platform, Chinese immigration limits, river navigation, and statehood. Routes for emigrants are outlined with costs and timings from Omaha, Kelton, or San Francisco, noting Portland and Almota as options.
