HARRIMAN LINES OWN NORTH COAST Portlaad, Ore. The North Coast Railroad, whluh for five year or mJte.j ha been engaged I n construction work In Eastern Washington, will soon ccise to be a mystery. The an nouncement, when It come, will placo the identity of the railroad with Har riman Interests. It 1 understood that the llarrlmun control of tho property his already been revealed to Northern Pacific officer and that the mind of tho public is to be re-' lieved by an official statement within a few days. As a Harriman enterprise the road will probably, for a number of years, be devoted principally to giving tbe Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com pany access to the Yakima Valley and also a shorter and better line between Portland and Spokane. A section of tho North Coa.t road Is now practically completed between North Yakima and a Junction with the O. R. & N., near Wallula. The road, as projected, provides for a cross-state line practically parallel ing the Northern Pacific between Spo kane and North Yakima.
