other Sound cities on business and
pleasure.
Miss Anna Eggers returned Friday
from the Coast where she went to at
tend the session of the Rebekah as
tend the session of the Rebekah lodge
being held in Tacoma. While away
Miss Eggers spent some time in Seat
tie.
Children's Day was fittingly conf
memorated last Sunday in the Rich
land Methodist church, the pastor
preaching sermon suitable to the
occasion, while many of the little ones
in the Sunday school took part in the
program.
Rev. j. C. Erwin took number of
the younger boys of the Methodist
Sunday school up the river on an ex-
cursion last Tuesday. The boys had
fine time and wish Rev. Erwin would
"come through" again with just such
an outing and plenty of good things
to eat.
Harry Thurman, who left last week
for Kalispell, Mont, to spend the
summer with his parents, writes to
friends that he doesn't like the eli
mate there little bit and that good
old Richland suits him 0. X. He in
Inmates very strongly that we may
see him back in short time.
/ C. S. Gibbs went up to Hanford and
White Bluffs to put on his moving
picture show Monday evening. Mrs.
Gibbs did not accompany her husband
on this trip, as he has arranged for
an electrician to operate the machine
thus doing away with the necessity of
two people going from here every
week.
Sunday, June 9th, will be set aside
as eco to Church Sunday" for the
Richland district and it is to be hoped
that every citizen of this community
will make special effort to get out
and go to some church on that day.
Services will be specially arranged in
every church and large attendance
should be the result.
i The Richland people are beginning
take advantage of the fine shade in
Anon park and every Sunday fami-
lies are taking picnic dinners down
there and spending the afternoon
{ where it is cool and quiet. Several
s family parties were in the park last
Sunday and it would be good idea
for more people to take advantage
of the beautiful spot.
The Ladies' Aid of the Methodist
church met at the home of Mrs. M. D.
O'Connell Wednesday afternoon and
most delightful time was spent by
those in attendance. 1t had been plan
ned to meet with Mrs. Cowles, but on
. account of her mothers serious i'll
ness this was impossible so Mrs. o.
Connell willingly volunteered to en-
terrain at this time.
, Harry Wheelhouse was out Sunday
: for the first time in over two weeks
and it seemed good to his friends tx
!, see him again, even if he is still limp
: ing little from the severe trouble
l he has had with his leg. Mr.. Wheel
? house mas not returned to his bushes!
| vet as it is impossible for him to b.
e on his feet for long at time bu
0 Chas. Teachout is making an able sub
stitute.
e The toot of the whistle on tn
: steamer which pulled into the docl
: on Tuesday gave many Of the resi-
: dents of Richland severe shock, the!
e little realizing that it was an es
4 tablished fact that the open river com

S Ion we can expect to hear these whistle
! booming every few days and it surel,
d looks as though they must be sloga
t. announcing better times for the Rich
q land Valley.
: A big crowd turned out Sunday t
see the baseball game between tn

v lIond team r. was a GOOD game frOI

& although the local boys were beate
