Puget Sound Eastern Railway plans Cowlitz to North Yakima
The Puget Sound Eastern Railway Company of King county aims to build a Chehalis to North Yakima line via Cowlitz Pass with Chicago capital backing. The project reopens a former route from Chehalis and Tacoma, securing right of way and targeting power resources along a likely 100 miles of track. They expect connections with Northern Pacific at Chehalis and North Yakima, deny ties to the Tacoma Eastern, and tout development potential for Yakima valley coal, timber, and agriculture.

The ruling declares the 1897 law unconstitutional, granting citizenship rights that shield Indian drinkers from federal police power and prompting calls for stricter local policing during hop picking season.
