A large number of horse traders
have been passing through Richland
for the past month and at the pres
ent time there is quite a colony Of
them camped out on the bank over
looking the river near the boat land
ing. They seem to be an inoffensive
class of wanderers, bent on trading
the unsuspecting farmer out Of his
nag with q few dollars to "boot" ip
their own favor.
The largest part Of the shipping
for this year is over and it has indeed
been successful year for the farmer.
This part of the valley is so newly
settled that it is only now that the
farmers are beginning to realize q
little profit on their investment Of
labor and capital. Grapes are still

obtains. Concord grapes, especially,
are in demand by the Church Grape
Juice factory in Kennewick, and Joe
Koelsch, the local grape juice manu-
facturer.

as well as the other laws on the
statutes.
