or where he originally came
from, although it is said that
he worked for Tom Fitzgerald

must have driven west of Great

SHORT BIOGRAPHY OF THE
LATE GEO. E. MOODY

The career OF DR.. Moody is
typical of the vim and energy
of the young men who have
helped to maxi historyin North

ican decent and was born in
Richland Co., Wis. July %,
1868 and was 4S years, 4 months

His election to the Office Of

ly comedies with the official
career of his father who came
to America friendless youth,
from Ireland, made his way
west, and was several times
elected Sheriff of Richland
county, Wis, and at about the
same age his son duplicated
that achievement, in a county of
the same name in newly or
ganized state.
A short time after his second
term as sheriff DR.. Moody re.
cognized the face of a man in
Breckenridge, Mimi, from a
photograph that had been sent
him two years before. The
man was in saloon and heav-
lily armed. He was the notori-

FEAR DONALD ROAD
PLANS WRONG ROUTE
Cowiche Valley Residents Think
Steam Line Should Go Near
to the Present Store

Residents of the Cowiche valley are
greatly interested in the survey work
done in their section by representa-
tives of the Donald railway company.
1t appears to be the intention of Mr..
Donald in his railroad construction
to keep we'll off to the north Of the
valley, skirting, or maybe penetrating
for a small distance, the Splawn prop
erty and then swinging off into the
North Fork section of the valley as it
is called. Many of the Cowiche res
idents, feeling that the Donald line is
the only one they will get, are anx-
ious to have the roadbed go down
deeper into the valley and swing
around by the store before going to
the North Fork. 1t is their belief that
in this way it will serve larger
country and give a better service.
While they feel that it will be up to
them to go to the railroad wherever
it is built. they want the line as con-
venient to the present center of set
tlement as possible.

MISSING HORSES ARE
IN 0KAN0GAh COUNTY
Sheriff of County North of Here
Reports Two Horses There Be-
lieved to Have Been Stolen

Sheriff Thorp of Okonogan sends
the information to Sheriff Day that
there are some strange horses up in
his country that he believes are stolen
from Yakima county. The horses and
outfits came in there in the latter
part Of August, and he did not learn
of them until recently. Sheriff Thorp
says he can lay his hand on them
at any time, if they are wanted. There
are two mares, with their brands re-
burned.
One bay mare is six or seven years
old, has a burnt brand on the right
thigh, the left ear is split and the
left for foot white. This animal has
a wire cut across the point of the
right shoulder.
The other animal is a brown mare
with long legs, five or six years old
brand on left shoulder has been fixed
but appears to have been a double
box originally.

MANY RISE EARLY
TO SEE THE COMET
Wandering Willie of the Skies Is
Visible Each Morning Just
Before Daylight

Astronomers of North Yakima, and
they are many, have been greatly in
terested in the comet which is to be
seen in the eastern sky in the early
mornings. Many people have risen
between 3 and 5 o'clock a. m. to see
the visitor and there has been much
comment back and forth among those
who have braved the chilly mornings.
The comet is as old friend now to
railroad men, printers, hackmen and
other night workers but to those who
live handsome" and who do not arise
until after daylight, it is yet a mys-
terry. 1t is comet &C. discovered by
Brooks at the Smith observatory July
20, and is now as bright as Haley S
comet was at its most brilliant stage.
1t is at present in the constellatios
Virgo and may be seen in the east
just before sunrise. Comet 'F' OF
1911 is the next wandering willie OF
the skies which will be visible here.

Insect Quarantine

1t is said that the United States is
the only great nation which does not
protect itself by quarantine against
insect infested and diseased plant
stock Fully so per cent of the i'm
portant injurious insects in this coun-

Bureau OF Entomology are OF foreign
origin. Among these are the Hessa n

worm, hop plant and wheat plant lice
the pea weevil. the cooling moth oil
apple worm, the cotton boil weevil
the San Jose scale, the gypsy and
brown tail moths. the cotton pug and

cause losses aggregating more than
500. 100000 a year. China and 9TH

relations are extending contain man,
