METT LONGMIRE.

Among the young agriculturists of Yakima county and a native of this county is
Mett Longmire, who was born December 20, 1884, a son of Charles and Laura Ann
(Longmire) Longmire. The father is numbered among those pioneers who crossed the
plains in a primitive way in order to establish a home upon the frontier and
here, on the Wenas, he took up a homestead, to the cultivation of which he gave
his undivided attention until he removed to Yakima. where he now makes his home.

Mett Longmire attended public school until he had acquired a good practical
education and then entered the sheep business. In 1906 he acquired a ranch in
the Wenas valley and has since been so successful that he has been able to add
to his acreage from time to time until he now owns over three thousand acres of
land, ninety of which are under cultivation. The remainder of his land is used
as pasture, for while he raises some hay, he gives his principal attention to
sheep raising.

Mr. Longmire was united in marriage to Miss Reba Addington, a daughter of J. B.
Addington, and to this union three children have been born: Bernice, Kenneth and
Metta.

Mr. Longmire is a republican in politics but not a politician in the sense of
office seeking, although he is thoroughly familiar with the issues of the day
and conditions as they affect local government. Fraternally he is a member of
the Elks and in that organization has many friends.
