Abstract
"We are informed that while the property owners of Ellensburg the capital of the county have offered to appropriate 400 acres to the Railway company as an inducement to fix the railroad town at Ellensburg, there is a probability that a new town will be built 3 1/2 miles above on a railway section between Peter Wold's and Pat Desmond's. It seems that the citizens have not decided to pay the $1,000 asked by Mrs. McDonald for ten acres and $1,700 asked by Mr. Schnebley for 34 acres to make up the pool of 400 acres demanded by the railway company and it is rumored that Mr. Shoddy will give the company all his ground at the old town and take what he can get in the new and move his store up there. This leaves Ellensburg in precisely the same fix, relatively as Yakima."
