This gentleman is we'll known in
this part of the state having formerly
been in Bye, the town having been
named after him, but when Ryder

The BEGINNING of Alfalfa.

The first alfalfa was shipped from
North Yakima to the Sound 16
years ago, says the Sunnyside Re-
publican. A Mr.. Gleed was the
first to put it on the market. He
was in the dairy business and had
a car load of alfalfa in excess of his
needs. He offered it for shipment
to buyer and assured him it was
good fodder. As an experiment he
shipped half carload to the Hill
Cereal Co., Tacoma. Well you
should have seen the letter | got in
reply. They said that any person
who would put up dried sticks in
bales and try to sell it for fodder
wasn't fit to do business with and
they threatened to dump the whole
lot into the Sound. They said that
it was taking up warehouse room
and | was to dispose of it as soon as
possible. showed the letter to
Mr.. Gleed and he had visions of
freight bills and other charges he
would have to pay. He gave me
permission to do as I chose with the
shipment. I wrote the Hill people
and got them cooled off a little. I
asked them to dispose of the alfalfa
bale or two at a time to dairymen
who came to them for feed. | ask

Easier Times For the Soldiers.

AT the War Department we are in.
formed that certain reforms have
been determined upon in order to
make things more attractive for the
enlisted men. Congress will be ask
ed for more money for the men, but
the Department will endeavor to
correct some conditions causing COM
plants by exerting executive author
lty. One of the principal causes of
dissatisfaction among the men, it is
claimed, has been the practice of
issuing toilet necessities prescribed
by army regulations and taking the
cost off Of the enlisted mans first
months pay. This would set him
back IS or 81, and it is believed
to be the reason that desertions have
been numerous among men who have
served only a month.
General Oliver, Acting Secretary
OF War, has issued an order provid-
ing that the soldier shall receive his
first razor, tooth brush, soap and
similar articles without cost to him,
but that thereafter he must keep his
toilet kit supplied. It is estimated
that the change will cost the govern
ment only about 100000 year.
Another reform will provide that the
daily gymnastics shall be only thirty
minutes instead of an hour, and that
they shall be fixed at time other
than Immediately following drill
duty The weekly marches also
have been dispensed with, and here
after the men will take their hikes
once month only. Still another
recommendation that will be made
will be in the nature of improving
the rations. Gen. Oliver intends,
also, to limit the character of work
around army posts by the enlisted
men, as it is not at all of character
that should be performed by sold
iers.
