Tacoma, Wash.. Oct tl. At a meet
ing of North Coaat offlciala with
Thomas Cooper, land commissioner, and
B. S. Orosacup, western counsel of tha
Northern Pacific, held yesterday after
noon, tha Intentions of the new railroad
with lta transcontinental principals
Wre unmasked. The Intention of tha
North Coaat la to build from Walla
WaUa to the aound and the road will
be the connecting link between th Chi
cago a Northwestern and the Canadian
Pacific and Puget aound. The North
western Is now at Lander. Wyoming,
approximately 100 miles from Walla
Walla and will be built sua all poasl-
bls dispatch to that city, where It wUl
touch the Union Pacific.
It to stated authoritatively by offl
ciala of the road here, that the full
announcement of th plan of th North
Coaat will ba mad within a short time.
Tha same official, who mad the fore
going statements, declared that th new
road would be the flrat to reach th
coast, and that work would be begun
.at many place within a ahort time, aad
"would be puahed In a way to make am
pie amende for th delay.
Th meeting here was for the purpose
of securing a deposition front Mr.
Cooper relative to the controversy be
tween the North coaat and tha North
arn Pacific over a grade crossing at
Union Oap near North Yakima, and the
fight th North Coaat has on to con
demn a right of way over tha landa
owned by tha Northern Pacific at North
Yakima. The North Coaat officials
present were: Robert E. Strahorn of
Spokane, prealdent; W. L. Pitt man,
ehlaf engineer, and H. J. Bnlvely of
North Yakima, general counael.
Mr. Bnlvely held that the contention
of the Northern Paclflo that the North
Coaat should build an overhead treatle
at Union Oap waa out of th question,
as train of tha new road would have
to approach it by a steep grade from
both direction to negotiate a crossing.
Mr. cooper rejected the proposition
of giving th North Coaat a grade
crossiug, holding that it would make
that point very dangeroua to both road.
Relative to the landa held by the North
