DANIEL McKIE.

Daniel McKie, living in Yakima, has long been numbered among the prominent
sheepmen of the valley and his flocks today number over fifty-five hundred head.
He is leaving the active management of his interests to others but still gives
general supervision to his important business affairs. He was born in Scotland,
July 9, 1873, a son of John and Jane (Bell) McKie, both of whom have passed
away. He acquired a public school education and the year 1899 witnessed his
arrival in Yakima, at which time he entered the employ of John Clemmens, a
sheepman, with whom he remained for eight years, gaining valuable knowledge and
experience concerning the business. During that period he carefully saved his
earnings until his economy and industry had brought him sufficient capital to
purchase property. He then bought a farm and continued its cultivation for four
years, giving his time to the general development of crops. In 1912, however,
he turned his attention to the sheep business, purchasing a considerable number
of sheep, and has since continued along this line. He has over fifty-five
hundred head of sheep and his ranges are near White Bluffs and Selah Springs. He
has closely studied all questions bearing upon sheep-raising and the care of the
sheep and his progressive methods and advanced ideas are proving an important
element in the attainment of his success.

On the 29th of April, 1906, Mr. McKie was married to Miss Sarah Rennie, a native
of Scotland and a schoolmate of his boyhood days. They have become parents of
four children: Robert, Mary, John and Rachel.

Mr. McKie belongs to the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and his religious
faith is indicated in his membership in the Presbyterian church. His political
support is given to the republican party and he keeps well informed on the
questions a9d issues of the day. He is a loyal adopted son of America, true to
high principles of citizenship and high standards of business, and through his
enterprise and close application he has won the creditable position which he now
occupies as one of the leading sheepmen of the northwest.
