HAPPENINGS ON THE
HlCHI LANDS

There is great rejoicing at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. D. E. Stull, as the
family circle was enlarged Sunday by
the arrival of pretty little daughter,
who, while most diminutive, has already
established her rule as princess of the
household and her wishes are unques-
toned by her admiring relatives and a
large circle of friends.
A working organization of the Ladies'
Highland Club was effected at their
last meeting, Friday, afternoon of
last week at the club house and the
following officers were elected: Mrs.
w. L. Craver, Pres. Mrs. w. H. Gould,
Vice Mrs. F. Krug, Treas, and
Mrs. E. o. Keene, Sec'y. Later de-
finite object aside from the social line
will be decided upon.
Ed Kelly and sister, recently from
Appleton, Wis, have settled on the
Highlands and will erect new home
on their tracts.
Geo. Krug has his new residence
nearly completed and the family have
moved in.
Mr.. Brittengross, of June, Wiscon-
sin, stopped off at Kennewick last week
while visiting different sections of the
west and was so delighted with the
Highlands that he decided to hang his
hat here permanently, bought land and
wrote home that he had found the right
place to live. He is looking up bust
ness opening in Kennewick.
J. w. Gleichman, who arrived short
time ago from Evansville. Ind, has

erection of his residence.

ing the improvements, and more are
coming. Work is progressing nicely
on the planting of some 10000 fruit
trees on the various tracts and the en-
terprise of the settlers means that a
large group Of. thrifty homes will
occupy the territory that was sage
brush waste short time ago. The
building of the new German Lutheran
church on the Highlands is likely to at
tract other immigrants of the same
nationality to this section.
The ladies of the Highlands have de
cided to give reception to the many
newcomers in the community, which is
scheduled for Saturday evening, April
Goth, and will take place at the club
house. A general invitation is extend
ed to every one on the Highlands and
all are urged to come and spill some of
the "get-together" spirit around. The
object of the gathering is for each one
attending to make as many new friends
as possible and renew the acquaintance
of the old. With such an atmosphere
of friendliness pervading, community
wellbeing will be promoted and such
public enterprises as are undertaken
will be strengthened by co operation.
Entertainment and refreshments have
been arranged for by the committee in
charge.
Mr.. and Mrs. King and children, old
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Kadow.
arrived few days ago from Chicago
and will establish their home on the
tract north of Mr.. Kadow's which has
been improved for some years. This
means the erection of another beautiful
home on one of the main thoroughfares
of the valley.
