Abstract
"The scarcity of coal in North Yakima was responsible for conditions Saturday that were anticipated by none. The failure of the promised supply to arrive caused a mild sort of panic and served to make a number of people resolve that if any of the precious black stuff was to be found in the possession of the Northern Pacific road within the limits of the city they would have it. A small supply was found and the people got it. As early as 4:30 Saturday morning teams began to arrive at the office of the Northwest Improvement company and by 7 o'clock over 40 were in line. They waited all day."
