The road would be 128 miles in length, being the only north and south communication with the Yakima valley instead of via Spo- kane or Seattie, as at present. Sex hunired growers have signed an agreement to pay three cents a box annually on their entire crop to guarantee the new road against loss. This would bring in $300,000 a year.

It was written to Curtis’ attorney, Tom D. Page.
