The Kennewick courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1905-1914, 1906-02-09

w. A. French, editor and publisher
OF the Kiona Enterprise was in town
this morning on business and to get ac-
quainted with Kennewick's hustling
people. This Office acknowledges a
pleasant call and talk over troubles OF
which any editor has million.
A. F. Brown, secretary and treasurer
of the Kennewick Hardware Co., has
sold his interest in that firm to H. A.
Bier and retires from the firm. He has
gone to Spokane for a few days but
will return to Kennewick. He is I'M
decided rs to his future plans. Miss
Edith Elmer will act as bookkeeper
aud stenographer for the firm.
w. w. Scuddsr, Superintendent of
the Congregational church for Wash
ington, was here Sunday and preached
very able sermon in the morning to
a crowded church. Rev. H. J. Zercher
preached his farewell sermon at night
to large congregation composed not
only of members of the church but also
of his many personal friends in the
city. Tue address was able.
T. A. Melvin, we'll remembered by
the old timers here, and formerly the
N. p. Agent is in town visiting his old
"tillacums" and looking after business
matters, He rently sold 10 acres of
his land to w. A. Morain at S2l0 per
acre. Melvin expects to start on his
third trip to Alaska about the 25th.
The last time he was up there he drop
ped from 200 to $50 pounds in weight.
He claims to be just like salmon 60
ing to 60 up just as FAR rs he can and
then die. We think however he will
shrivel up and blow away. If we ever
see his remnants blowing past or on
the forefront of one of our sandstorms
we will reach out and grab them and
give them permanent resting placein
our new ceD,etary. We admire his
nerve but he ought to know better.
