Ayoung lady, having occasion to come
down the back stairs of the First Nal
tional Bank week ago Tuesday night
happened to glance over into the coun-
Gil room where session was in prof.
gress. She wrote to her parents the
next day that she had run onto a big
gambling game, and that the town was
wide open. She knew the men were
gambling because they were all sitting
n around a big table and their hair was
. mussed up as though they were terribly
interested in the game. The poor coun-
cilmen certainly do catch it, don't they?
Rev. Atkins, of the Congregational
church, Rev. F. V. Hoyt, and Mrs. j.
b. Rose were at North Yakima the first
of the week attending the Yakima Val
ley Congregational Association. The
finest meeting ever held in this district
| IS reported, more than 45 delegates
being present. The finest and most en-
couraglng reports were submitted and
the meeting was success in every
way. Upon invitation by the Kenne-
WICK delegates, the Association will
meet in Kennewick next year.
Tuesday night Kennewick was VISITED
by regular old black rainstorm.
BY the government gauge eighty-three
hundredths of an inch of moisture fell.
The precipitation of this winter has
been beyond the ordinary. So far this
year, January and February, nearly
five inches of rain and melted snow has
been measured-four and eighty eight
hundredths, to be exact. AS the aver
age annual precipitation is but a trifle
over seven inches, we can see that we
have received more than our usual SUD-
ply so far. 1t is putting the hills into
exceptionally fine shape for the wheat.
