James Wright will this spring sink
an artesian well on his place at the
ast end of Yakima avenue, says the
Yakima Dally Republic. He Is now
with the hope of securing a flow of
water.
"The test has never been made In
this city, or any place near It, as far
as I know, to find out whether water
can be secured," said Mr. Wright to
a Republic representative. "I believe
that a good supply of water can be
secured. If I am successful I will sell
some of the excess to my neighbors
to water their lawns and for other
purposes.
-i have a very large lawn at my
residence, one that will consume more
water on a hot day than a dozen ca

Was Norn In the Went Indies One
Huiulrnl Forty-Eight Years Ago.
New York, Jan. 11. Today Is the
anniversary of the birth of Alexander
Hamilton, one of the framers of the
constitution of the United States and
patriotic organizations throughout the
country will celebrate the event by
memorial meetings, banquets and In
other ways. ' The name of Alexander
Hamilton Is one of those Indelibly
engraved upon the pages of this coun
try's history. He was born in the
West Indies on January 11, 1757, and
was still a comparatively young man
when he became closely Identified
with some of the most Important
events of that eventful period of this
country s history.
To this brilliant and far-seeing
brain the country owes Its financial
system. During the period of the war
and the subsequent dark yeurs Ham
11 ton was one of the pillars of
strength. His versatility was only
equaled b ythe strength of his grasp
or matters which concerned the colo
nies. He was a soldier, statesman, fi
nancier, politicr.l economist and
scholar.
During one of the most peaceful
periods of his eventful and stormy
lire, in the year 1800 to 1801 Hamll
ton built himself a fine mansion In
w hat was then the suburbs of New
York. He built the house out of tim
ber presented to him by General Pill
Schuyler, and cut from Gen. Schuy
ler's land, at the headwaters of the
Hudson river, on a piece of land, now
traversed by i43d street and Convent
avenue. There It stood for over 100
years, withstanding the destructive er
fects of time and climate.
A few years ago the board of al
dermen of Washington Heights, as
that district is called, decided to ex
tend 143d street and the "Grange."
as Hamilton s mansion was called,
would have been torn down, to make
room for the street, had not a
thoughtful real estate man purchased
the ground and house and prevented
the cutting through of the street. He
moved the house far enough toward
the center of the block to permit the
cutting through of the street and
later he moved the hou'e again a
block further south, to a site adjoin
Ing St. Luke's church, to make room
ror a row of modern apartments
which were built upon the lnnd for
merly surrounding the "Grange."
Since then an effort has been made to
preserve the "Grange" as a national
memorial and to create a small park
around it.
WILL HELP SWISS INIH'STRIES.
Certain Products Put l'oii American
Reduced List.
Bern, Switzerland, Jan. 11. There
Is great rejoicing throughout the
Swiss Federation over the proclanm
tlon of President Roosevelt, confer-
ring upon Imports from Switzerland
to the United States of crude tartar,
still wines, vermouth; brandies and
works of art the reductions provided
for In section 3 of the Dingley act.
The new arrangement is the result
of negotiations for a reciprocity con
vention between the United States and
Switzerland and Its granting was pre
ceded by the voluntary announce
ment of the Swiss government to ex
tend the favored nation treatment to
American Imports without, at the
same time preferring any request
whatever for a return of similar pref
erences on the part of the American
government. It Is believed that this
new arrangement will be of the great
est benefit to Swiss industries.
Composite Pronoun Wanted.
The want of a composite pronoun to
express both "be" and "she," and, what
Is sometimes more important, to ei
press neither be nor she, must huve
embarrassed every one ut some time or
another. There are ungrummutica!
ways of shelving the dllBculty, such as,
for instance, by translating the con
venient French "on" as "they," when
we really mean one person who may
be either masculine or feminine. The
lack of a portmanteau word to express
both sexes without specifying either
did not, however, trouble the new maid
who approached her mistress with the
Ingenious remark, "I'lease'ui, a friend
of mine has called and may I ask it
to tea V " London Chronicle.
A Point In Punctuation.
For a century past, probably longer,
the rule of the best printers and pub
lishers has been, "Three words In the
same construction are separated by
commas." Two examples will Illus
trate the rule:
"John, James and Thomas have come."
As so punctuated the first name Is
vocative, the Becond and third nomina
tive. Two persons have come.
"John, James, nndTbomns have come."
And now the three names are nil
nominatives. Three persons have come.
The two meanings can be Indicated
otherwise only by a footnote. New
