JAMES GLEED.
North Yakima Rancher Who Has
Made Success.

James Gleed, rancher of the
Naches valley, grew and sent to the
Sound the first alfalfa ever sent here
commercially and the first ever ship
ped from North Yakima. says a North
Yakima report to the Seattle P.-I.
That was sixteen years ago The
business is now worth millions to
those engaged in it. Mr.. Gleed came
10 North Yakima from Kansas and
was the first practical farmer in this
district Where others had settled
along the banks of streams and Civ
en- their attention to stock, he cleared
off the sagebrush from a small plain.
arranged a plan for irrigating it. and
did real farm work, growing, among
other things. alfalfa. One day Mr..
Gleed asked II. s. Morgan, hay
dealer, ii he would ship a carload of
alfalfa to the Sound. He had grown
more, he said, than he could posi-
bly, feed to his dairy herd, and he
would like to dispose of it. Mr.
Morgan announced his desire to
please Mr.. Gleed in any way, but said
he had never heard of alfalfa, and
asked what it was.
The Hill Cereal company of Ia
ccma agreed TO take half car among
a number of cars of clover and other
hay, and it was sent to that firm.
The alfalfa was first cutting and
was somewhat bleached. The letter
sent Mr. Morgan by the Hill people
when the alfalfa arrived at Tacoma
is still in existence. In it they called
alfalfa dried sticss," threatened to
dump the whole lot in the Sound, and
expressed the opinion entertained by
the company of a man who would I'M
dertake to use up warehouse space
with that kind of rubbish Mr.. Nor
gan was warned to dispose of the
stuff as soon as possible, and an early
time limit was set Finally the Hill
company was induced to distribute
the alfalfa, bale or two here and a
bale or two there, among dairymen
who were buying other feed, and the
dairymcn were asked to note results
on it, Soon the dairymen began to
ask for a little more, and the Hill
Cereal company in turn wrote to Mr..
Morgan for another half carload, and
thus Mr.. Gleed got rid of his remain
ing half car of surplus stock. From
this beginning the alfalfa industry
of today grew.
Mr.. Gleed became an extensive
grower. Mr.. Morgan a heavy shipper
and the Hill company large buyer

Of the Yakima valley is as important
as any industry there, and the value

every direction and crushed in
the roof of the house. The win.
dow lights were all broken.

IN WAKE COUNTY COURT.
The Rowland Case Next Monday Rail.
road Men Will Answer for Wreck.


The superior court of Wake is
in session this week and the
grsnd jury have acted upon two
cases that is of general interest
to the people of the state:
The first case that attracted
much attention was when DIR.
Rowland and wife appeared in
court on the charge of the MUIR
der of Engineer Strange, the
particulars of which are familiar
to our readers. A special jury
was ordered summoned and the
case set for a hearing next Mon
day. The Raleigh papers state
that the confinement in Jail does
not seem to go hard with the
prisoners and that they seem to
take 1.-The matter in nonchalant
manner.
The matter of the Auburn
wreck was looked into by the
grand jury and witnesses were
examined
The grand jury found a true
bill for manslaughter against w.
Rippey, engineer; c. NJ. Oakley,
conductor; B. P. Ketcham, chiee
train dispatcher, and Victor Par
win, train dispatcher, on the Dur
ham division of the Southern
Railway as being responsible for
the wreck on the first of Septem-
Der near Auburn. when w. C.
Parker, engineer: Robert Young
and w. ]. Betel. fremen, were
killed. the indictment saying that
the defendants named "felon-
iously and wilfully did kill and
slay" these men whose lives
went out in that head-on coils
sion. 1t is hardly probable that
the case will be heard at this
session, as the Everett Spence
case is to follow the Elvira Pow
ell case and the Rowlands trial
begins on Monday.
Another matter that is of
special interest in Raleigh this
week is the publication of items
in the News and Observer and
Evening Times relative TO the
amount paid by the Southern
Railway to the latter paper for
schedule and special notices.
The hard things said by each are
read by many people and COM
mented upon by the people not
only of Raleigh. but by readers
of the two journals.

TERRIBLE DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
Buck Clark aOd Eugene Davis Blown
from a Well.

A phone message from Chapel
Hill Wednesday night gave the
particulars of an explosion of
dynamite that almost cost two
men their lives. The cause of
the serious results was premature
explosion of dynamite that was
used in blasting in a we'll which
Eugene Davis and Buck Clark
were digging.
The two men above named
were at work digging a we'll
about one mile west of Chapel
Hill and they came to a rock that
required the use of dynamite.
While packing the dynamite
Thursday afternoon there was a
terrible explosion and two men
were seen coming from the well.
They fell some distance from the
mouth of the we'll.
Clark was badly burned, and
the message stated that it was
not thought that he would re-
cover. Davis was also badly
burned and bruised, but it is
thought that he will recover.
The cause of the explosion was
thought to be the result of a
match being in with the fuse
and when the men were packing
the dynamite in the hole that
had been drilled. it ignited and
caused the dynamite to explode.
