The Militia Boys Home.


Company + returned Friday morning
from the annual state encampment,
along with the other eastern Washing
ton militia. Upon petition to the powers
that be, the companies from the east
of the mountains We're allowed to re-
main in camp "a hours longer than
those on the coast side, and they took
proper care to enjoy the extra priv
ilege. The general health of the com
pany was good while in camp, and the
boys are naturally proud of the record
made both in the matter of target
shooting and for general good behavior.
The following general order has just
been received by Capt. Dulin, and it
does the boys proud:
INSERT
The following is announced for the
information and guidance of all con
cerned:
During the tour of duty Just closed
at Camp Neisenberger greater degree
of efficiency in all lines was shown than
at the camp of last year. With verv
few exceptions officers and men showed
themselves anxious and willing to per
form all duties assigned to them The
State of Washington owes a debt to the
men in the ranks for the uncomplain-
ing way in which they performed many
disagreeable duties. and for the willing
ness which they at all times showed to
do anything which would make them
better soldiers
The most creditable thing done in
the camp was the collective fire shoot
ing. Here all of the companies demon
strated familiarity with their pieces. a
familiarity which could only come from
long, hard practice. The three follow
ing companies particularly distinguished
themselves. although all of the com.
psnies shot exceptionally well: Com
pany +. second infantry. North Yakima
Capt c. T. Dulin commanding. with q
percentage OF 81 per cent at volley fir
ing and fire at will over the 900. 800,
and l000-yard ranges; Company A.
second infantry Tacoma. Capt j. Muir
ray Mclean commanding. with per
centage of 40 per cent: Company II.
second infantry. Spokane, Capt NJ NJ.
Richardson commanding. with 81 PEI
cent. The record of Company f i a
remarkable one: it l. doubtful if any
company in the United states will 10
50 well this year. Their high rank in
this contest and the good shooting of
the other companies is the legitimate
result of patient and perSi- cur pra,-
tice upon the range Too much rredit
cannot Dee given Capt Duln his officers
and men. The organizations which fin
ished at the top Of the list in this con
test have spent many laborious hours
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1903-09-30

of practice upon the range. Their hard
work made them lead, as hard worl;
always will. Nothing else but actual
practice with the rifle makes Il ritleman.
A soldier who cannot shoot is of no use,
and the soldier who can shoot best is of
the most use. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that the example set by Com
pany f will be followed by the other
companies until next year the second
infantry will be a regiment of sharp
shooters. In the company team contest
between the three companies finishing
first in the collective fire, the relative
standing of Companies f. A. and H was
not changed, the teams finishing in the
same order occupied by their companies
in the collective fire competition.
Company commanders must bear in
mind that there should be no let up in
drill or range work now that the Ell
campment is over, but they should eN-
ert every effort to make their organiHa-
t.ons stronger than ever. 1t is especial

North Yakima's Prosperity.

Among the guests at the Donnelly
yesterday was c. NJ. Hauser of North
Yakima. Mr. Hauser is chief of the fire
department at that place and is on his
way to Olympia to attend the annual
convention of the Pacific Coast Fire
Chiefs association, which begins its
sessions today. There has never been
a time in the history of my section of
the country when more favorable pros
poets were promised than this year,
said he. III people do not believe that
Yakima has been growing and is today
growing at an enormously rapid rate.
let them visit the state fair which will
begin next week Monday, and | warrant
that they will come away with an en-
tirely different view. The one thing that
has contributed most to the advance
ment and development of the valley is
irrigation. Not alone has it aided the
immediate vicinity of Yakima. but it
has opened for settlement vast direct
~ tributary region. In this new section
have already arisen two towns. both of
which are thriving, the entire district is
dotted with farm houses. and small fruit
farms are everywhere to be seen" la

WHAT PEOPLE SAY.

A. W. Rinehart-Seattle is the best
town on the coast, and North Yakima is
next. The sentiment of the people over
with us is that if unfortuitous circum-
stances would compel them TO rcmpve
from that blessed spot, they want their
lines cast SO they can drop down in
Yakima. Seriously, there is an indis-
soluble bond connecting the two Places
that is bound to result in their mutual
benefit.

Gilbert ranch at Toppenish was sue

from four to six carloads more The
cucumbers are of good quality and will
make choice pickles.

the interest of the occasion. Papers on
important topics relating to methods of
fighting fires. the building of fire proof

lengthy discussions were features that

A Cure for RheumatIsm.

Alhambra, H., Mar 23rd:-Physicians are much puzzled over the case of MT. F. J. Os. wald, of this place. Mir. Oswald suffered much with Rheumatism and was treated by doctor after doctor with the result that he got no better whatever. They seemed un- ued to suffer till he heard of Dodd s Kidney Pills.
 Mr Oswald began a treatment of this remedy which very soon dad for him what the doctors had failed to Go, and they cannot understand it.
 This L the same remedy that cured Hon. Fred A. Busse, our State Treasurer, of a very severe case of Rheumatism some years ago, and which has since had an unbroken record of success in curing all forms of Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble
 There seems to be no case of these pain ful diseases that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure promptly and permanently.

FLOOD VICTIMS RELIEVED.
Residents of Marion and Surround ing Territory are Given
 Assistance.

A slight fall in the Mississippi
 from Cairo to Memphis has relieved
 the situation in the flooded district
 in eastern Arkansas to a certain ex-
 tent and it is thought that the dan
 ger of other breaks in the leyee is
 past. The water continues to pour
 through the breaches in the embank-
 ment at Triees Landing and Random
 Shot, but it is not thought that the
 water in the flooded section of Crit
 tenden county will show any further rise. The residents of Marion and
 the surrounding country, which has
 been affected most seriously, have
 been given relief and the entire sit uation is pronounced by officials of the leyee board to be satisfactory In compliance with orders from Presi- dent Killough, of the St. Francis levee board. large barge was sent through the creyasse at Trice's land ing on the Fist to the aid of the i'm prisoned citizens of Marion. The steamer Hugo was dispatched the following day on a similar mission, with instructions to render assistance at any point in the flooded district where it might be found to be need ed. A train on the Frisco penetrated the flooded district and reached Ma rion. All the persons who desired to leave the town were taken in this train, but most of the residents re- fused to leave their homes. The flooded area has been increased by serious break in the levee at Ran dom Shot. The embankment gave way at that point under the terrific pressure of the swollen river and through a creyasse nearly a quarter of a mile in length the water has been pouring in upon the land be- hind the levee. A vast area has been completely inundated, but the damage will be less owing to the fact this breach as we'll as that at Trice's landing flows into the St Francis riv- CT and is carried back into the Mis- sissippi through that stream.
 Reports from Pecan Point indicat- ed that the levee at that point and extending a short distance north, was still in grave danger. A large force of workmen and engineers has been at work night and day strength ening and increasing the height of the leyee at that point. There was also reported to be serious danger of a break at Leland.
 A telegram was received from Ma rion asking for aid for the flood refu- gees at that place. Gov. Davis wired tents and a telegram was received stating that the tents would be for warded immediately to Marianna.
 The breach in the levee at Trice's which was made several days ago, has not been widened to any appreciable extent. Dispatches from Arkansas City state that the river has risen steadily at that point but that the levee is intact Orders were issued prohibiting the running of freight trains on the Iron Noun tain tracks which run over the levee.
 According to advices from Helena, the river had shown a steady rise at that point until Sunday. A large force of men is at work strengthen ing the levee, and armed guards are the embankment day and night.
