RAILROAD STATION TO BE AT BINGEN

     F.H. Fogarty, general freight agent of the Portland & Seattle railroad, and R.W. Clark, one of the other officials of that road, came here last Saturday and met a delegation from White Salmon at the Waucoma Hotel, where the former were stopping. The object of the meeting was to settle the question as to the location of the railroad station on the north bank.
     The White Salmon people recently presented a petition to the railroad company asking them to locate the station there. At the meeting that they were informed that the company had decided to locate it at Bingen, giving as their reason and there was no room at White Salmon near enough to the railroad to make siding or establish a town site.
     It is said to be the intention of the company to make Bingen the end of a division and to build shops there.
