His local practice will be left in the
hands of DR.. C. w. Compton who
comes here from North Yakima. The
doctor has been practicing medicine
since 1891, eight years of which time
he was in New York. In 1901 he came to
Washington and spent one year in
Seattle. He was semitic Connell in 1901
to serve during the small pox epidemic,
by the State Board of Health and is the
pioneer physician of that county, as he
was the first M. D. to receive license
there. After six years of private prac-
tice in North Yakima he went into the
service of the U. S. Government on the
Teton project which is now completed
and was situated at Dumping Lake and
Naches City for couple of years. The
doctor may locate permanently in Ken
