NORTH YAKIMA
A flourishing incorporated city on the C division of N.P.R.R. on the
Yakima River, in Yakima county, of which it is the county seat.
The town has only been about three years in existence, but has
already become an important center and at its present rate of
increase will soon become one of the largest cities in Washington
Territory.
It is already the metropolis of an extensive region extending west
to the Cascade mountains and east to the Columbia river, embracing a
number of fertile valleys especially adapted for the raising of
wheat, hops, and fruit.
The city now contains several churches, a good graded school, two
banks, a flour mill, a planing mill, a new opera house and a number
of general stores. The drug, hardware, grocery and other lines of
business are will represented.
Three newspapers are published,- the Republic, the Signal and the
Washington Farmer.
Stages to Fort Simcoe and into the Big Bend country. Population,
about 1,200. Exp., N. P. Te'., W. U. and Mail, daily. George W.
Carey, postmaster.
