ALBERT F. ALLISON

	It is ever a pleasure to be priveleged to recount, even though in 
brief, the details of the careers of the early pioneers, whose labors have 
resulted in such rich legacies to those who came afterward to these now 
wealthy countries.  Prominent among those who deserve credit for pioneer 
labor in western Stevens county we are constrained to mention the subject of 
this article, who is one of the substantial and upright young men of the 
vicinity of Fruitland.  Albert F. Allison was born in Sutter county, 
California, on April 4, 1872, the son of James N. and Nellie L. Allison, 
mentioned in this work.  With his parents he went to Humboldt county and in 
1882 came with them overland to Fort Spokane.  Thence they made their way 
after exploration to their present home place, three miles east from Fruit-
land.  Our subject remained with his parents on the home ranch and in
handling stock and in freighting.  He was ever manifesting industry
and when manhood's estate came he secured his present place of one 
quarter section three miles east from Fruitland, where he does general
farming and raising cattle.
	On December 25, 1894, Mr. Allison married Miss Addie L., 
daughter of Henry and Lois Bennett.  The father came to this country in
1884.  Mr. Allison has a thorough acquaintance with this country and
has done good work in assisting to develop and open it to civilization.
He is of excellent standing in the community and manifests real worth
of character.
