The big doings which Strawberry
Grange No. 499 pulled off last Satur-
day night were decided success.
Pomona Grange from Prosser and vi
cinity were here to the number Of
% and the installing officers of the
visiting lodge initiated a class from
the local grange into the mysteries
of the Fifth degree. Heretofore
there have been only four degrees
and this celebration was in honor of
the new degree.
The ladies Of the grange here pro-
vided fine supper for the visitors,
both from the Pomona grange and
the Fruitvale grange. The latter
came accompanied by their band and
added much to the enjoyment Of the
evening. The visiting grangers from
Prosser had to wait here until $3.50
in the morning at which hour their
train left Grosscup siding. All the
members present, both visitors and
local grangers, report the time of
their lives.
Ike Zimmerman, son Of Ed TIM
norman, met with serious accident
while riding q. bucking horse at the
Grosscup ranch south Of Richland.
He was thrown in such manner that
he landed on his arm and as result
is carrying a broken arm in sling
this week.
Miss Beryl Wadsworth is home for
a short visit with her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. B. S. Wadsworth.
Mrs. J. A.Thompson will be hostess
to the Birthday club on Saturday,

Of her birthday.
The Ladies' Aid of the Methodist
church met Wednesday with Mrs. F.
Sleight and enjoyed a very pleasant
afternoon.
Roy Artman and C. s. Clarke, who
left here a couple of weeks ago for
Idaho in quest Of homestead lands,
have succeeded in getting something
pretty fine, Mr.. Artman having filed
on 160 acres and Mr.. Clarke on 800.
Mr.. Artman has returned to Richland
to get his goods in shape to move to
Idaho and Mr.. Clarke stayed on the
job Of holding down the land.
There is surely something doing in
the hunting line in this vicinity and
we may all be thankful that we are
not ducks. Large parties of hunters
pass through town every day on their
way to the hunting grounds and the
game warden is kept busy taking
care that the law is obeyed to the
letter. Several arrests have been
made and fines imposed upon parties
who have been caught shooting be-
fore sunrise in the morning and ev-
erything possible is being done to
give the ducks "run for their mon
ey."
Mr.. and Mrs. H. F. Hoffman enter
tanned at dinner Sunday for Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Hudson and Mr.. j. B. White
head. Mr.. Whitehead is here looking
after his property opposite the Hoff-
man place.
A number Of farmers in the vicinity
of Fruitvale have purchased hay
baler and will bale a great deal of
the hay in that neighborhood this
winter. This should make prices
good for those who desire to sell
their hay right out Of the stack to
the sheepmen who come here every
fall to winter their sheep.
The auction sale on the H. C. Kos
ter place south Of town town drew a
good crowd and things were sold at
very cheap rates. The household
goods, especially, went for very low
figure, while the farm implements
and wagons brought fair price. Mr..
Roster and family left Wednesday
for Iowa to make their future home.
The Embroidery club, which has
been meeting in the park every
Thursday afternoon has discontinued
it's outdoor. sessions and will in the
future meet with the members at
their respective homes.
