REVEALS MAJESTY OF NATURE
Grandeur In the Thunderstorm 40 u
10 Seen by the DWeller In
the Country.

The thunderstorm now has its day.
It rumbles across the sunny face Of
the midsummer. heavens. Sometimes
1t lowers the temperature and hlls
the air with freshness. Almost invari-
ably 1t pricks the nerves Of your lit
tie sister and maiden aunt. It splin-
tiers the city nag pole, It demoliShes
the village steeple, II burns the farm
er's barn. But all this does not pre-
vent the thunderstorm from being the
most awe-inspiring phenomenon which
nature ordinarily shows to man. The
city dweller, scurrying impotently
through canyons Of masonry, does not
have more than q hint Of the true
grandeur. One should be upon q hill.

omnipotence Of the storm. The air 10

pinnacle the heaven. Dark clouds bulk
upon the horizon. These are laced
with lightning. The dwarfs can be
heard at their bowling on distant

The storm rushes onward. A glover

hush broods over the lakes unrippled

Thus the storm mounts to its cres-

universe is purified. II all this be not

OLD PIONEER PASSES AWAY.
Mr.. II. X. Sinclair Received Word
That Her Brother, George Bishop,
Died Same Day-Same Family.

With the deaths of Mrs. Sarah Eliza
beth Gleed of the Naches and that of
George d. Bishop of San Raphael,
Cal, which occurred Sunday, five
members and members by marriage of
the Sinclair family have passed away
since June /. John Sinclair was the
first to die early in June and his death
was followed by that of Alex Sinclair,
who married the eldest daughter of
Mrs Gleed. Uncle Hugh Sinclair was
the next to pass away and George
Bishop was a brother of Mrs. Sinclair.
Mr.. Bishop died Sunday afternoon,
almost at the same hour as Mrs.
Gleed.
Mrs. Gleed was the wife of James
Gleed one of the earliest pioneers OF
Yakima county, rancher and stock
man. He was the originator of the
well-known Gleed ditch and at one
time, together with the Nelson's and
the Sinclairs, owned almost all of the
Naches valley. They came to the
Yakima valley over 80 years ago Htr
daughter, Mrs. A. H. Raer, now resides
on the old homestead in the lower
Naches. Mrs. Gleed passed away in
Seattle Sunday afternoon at O'Clock.

TO IRRIGATE FROM WELLS.
Sinks Many Wells to Depth of 200
Feet and Finds IneXhaustible
Flow Under Hard Tests.

Irrigation of additional land in the
Mckee valley from wells drilled to a
depth of $50 to 200 feet and supplied
with gasoline engines and pumps for
lifting purposes is certain as a result
of the success of the Rose Land COM
pany work in that district during the
past summer. From the present ir-
rigated district to the very crest of
the divide the company has been
sinking these wells, and in each in
stance an ineXhaustible supply OF
water has been found.
About two years ago this land held
by the Rose Land company, was
withdrawn from the market without
an explanation being made by the
company. On Saturday Secretary
Logan announced that the property
had been again placed on the market
and that it's withdrawal was simply
to await the result of the experiments.
The wells show that there is flow
of 100 gallons per minute under
pumps and that is enough to easily
irrigate 40 acres of land. The tracts
will be sold in 40 and 40-acre lots
with wells, pumps and engines all in
stalled and tested, at from 500 an
acre up. The property is about IS
miles from North Yakima and within
five or six miles of the North Yakima
and Valley railroad line.
1.-The success of our experiments in
sinking 200-foot wells does not only
mean much to our company but to the
men who have desert claims too in
that rich Mckee district. Our tests
show that they can comply with the
government requirements on irriga-
ton and can get their land at a
mighty small cost by sinking a 200
foot well, installing a pumping plant
and starting to irrigate. Then they
can prove up" Such was the state
ment of Secretary Logan in announc-
ing the success of the enterprise. 1--WE
will have some more news about the
Mckee lands soon, and will show that
there is an abundant supply of water
there for all irrigating needs"

The enlargement of the post has been
toward the north and east. What is
practically new post has been es-
tablished upon the land which has
been added to the reservation during
the last few years. The buildings are
of the most substantial construction
and the architecture is attractive. The
grounds are beautifully laid out. &C.
ment sidewalks and paved driveways
lead from one part of the post to the
other. Particular attention is given
to providing sanitation for the build
ings and grounds. The site of the
post is upon an elevation which over
looks the city of San Antonio.

BIG ARMY POST
ON RIO GRANDE
LARGEST IN UNITED STATES
Many Improvements Being Made at
Fort Sam HOustOn-Peace on Our
Side of Border Thus Assured.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Plans are
now on foot to make Fort Sam Hous-
ton the largest army post in the coun-
try with quarters for 1000 men and
officers. Already there are accommo-
dation for 2400 men and 100 officers,
and by the end of the year there will
be homes for 500 more soldiers The
plans for the full number will be ma
teraliZed before the end of 1910.
Since 1904 100000 and more mas
been expended in construction work
at Sam Houston, and it is planned to
expend $4,000 more there within
the coming eighteen months. The
original reservation in 1870 was forty
acres, but now it includes 944 acres
exclusive of the manoeuvre grounds.
The property valuation is placed at
more than 100000. The fort is
the headquarters of the department of
Texas which includes the States of
Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
The remarkable growth of Fort
Sam Houston is the direct result of
the policy of abandoning the smaller
posts along the Rio Grande border
and concentrating the military forces
at this central station, which has di-
rect railway outlets leading to all of
the rail crossings of the international
boundary stream. In event that the
services of the United States troops
were needed to quell an uprising along
the Rio Grande frontier, they could
be put in the field within few hours
after the order was made for their
movement. The abandonment of Fort
Brown, Fort Ringgold, Fort Clark
Fort Davis and Fort Hancock has
| caused the many troops and COM
panfes that would otherwise be divid-
| ed among these posts to be concen-
| trated at Fort Sam Houston. All
branches of the military service will
be represented at Sam Houston when
the additions now under construction
are finished. These will include in
fantry, cavalry, artillery, signal corps
and hospital corps The twenty Sem
mole Indian scouts who have been
stationed at Fort Clark will also make
| their permanent headquarters at Fort
Sam Houston. These Indians have
been in the service of the government
| 1
the Rio Grande border country in time
of trouble.
The strategic position of Fort Sam
Houston from a military standpoint
with regard to a wide scope of border
territory has been amply demonstrate
ed upon many occasions. In the early
days when foraging bands of hostile
| Comanche. Lipan and other tribes of
Indians used to make incursions into
the thinly settled part of Texas the
troops found that Sam Houston was
convenient station from which to
sally forth and intercept the raiders.
1t was while stationed at this post and
at some of the more western garri-
sons that Lawton. Shafter and other
noted officers of the army performed
| splendid service in driving out the
Indians and making it possible for the
White settlers to enter the region to

BRILLIANT AFFAIR
Postmaster w. L. Lemon Returns
From Seattle Much Pleased With
Reception to President.

Postmaster w. l.. Lemon returned
Friday from Seattle where he partici-
pated in the reception and entertain
ment of President Taft. Mr.. Lem on
was delighted with his visit which he
characte as one of the pleasant
est ones he has ever experienced He
attended two dinners in honor of the
president on the A.-Y.-P. grounds, a
luncheon in the New York State build
ing Thursday noon and a banquet in
the Washington State building in the
evening. OF the latter Mr.. Lemon
said:
1T was the grandest banquet 1 have
ever attended. There must have been
700 guests present. l never heard such
fine speeches as were made. Every
one of them was a masterpiece. The
guests were so enthusiastic that they
stood on their chairs and waved their
napkins.
Senator Jones, I believe, made the
banner speech of the evening and he
was loudly applauded."

BIRTHS EXCEED DEATHS
MORE THAN SEVEN TO ONE
Population of County Grows Rapidly
According to Report of Health
Officer Frank.

Yakima county is growing in spite
of the shortage in the fruit crop this
year. And it is growing better, too,
for those who are living in the county
now, apparently refuse to leave it..
Seven to one was the ratio between the
births and deaths in the county dur
ing September, according to the re-
port issued yesterday by DR.. P. Frank,
county health officer.
There were 20 birth certificates and
three death. certificates issued. This
may not be all, though, for it is i'm
possible for any more deaths mas
much as burial permits must be
issued in the case of every death by
Dr. Frank. The report does not in
