i Mrs. D. Holt returned last weel
from an extended visit with relative
in Pullman, Walla Walla and othe
cities in the eastern part of the state
John Engler, of Goldendale, wa

ISpring is surely here, evidence OF

and critics being on hand to give adj
vice.
Walter Hinkle returned last Thurs
day from short visit to his parents

Bread in Richland now costs cents
per loaf. Flour, grain, for stock, and
oh, lots of things are high and going
higher. Wages? Not so it can be
noticed are they on the upward slant.
County work, which has always paid
not less than 1925 per day, is now
$500. It is said that this cut comes

Olympia, but that fact should be no
reason Of cutting the city wage scale
to the like amount. But it seems that
it is.
The Ladies' Aid of the M. E. church
will have big supper on Washing

the church building. Each lady of
the Aid has agreed to earn one dol

lar by getting her husband out of bed
in the morning at so much per, it is
evident that the experiences Of the
others will be well worth listening to

are famous for their excellent culinary
ability.

always be sure Of an audience when
ever he sees fit to announce his COM

doubtedly not been large enough to
hold the people had not the interest of
the special meetings in the Methodist
church called MANY thoro
