Richland, at present under lease to
Lou Wheelhouse. After giving up her
position as teacher Mrs. Roehl en-
gagged in the hotel business and only
recently sold out her interest in the
Richland hotel to Mrs. E. p. Chellis.
Possibly no two people leaving the
community will be missed to greater
extent that Mr.. and Mrs. Roehl, as
they were famous for their hospitality
and unfailing kindness to those in
trouble. It goes without saying that
if good wishes will make that Idaho
homestead worth a million dollars,
there is no doubt that their good for

70 years, month, IL days old.
With his father and mother he
crossed the plains in 1874 but before
completing the arduous journey his
father was killed by hostile Indians
at Fort Whitman, WASH, while his
mother was held captive for nearly
three months. The father was buried
near the present site of Fossil, Ore.
On May 25th, 1854, the deceased

lived until 1881, when they moved to
the Palouse country to make their
home. The Maupin family were among
the first families to settle in the Pa
louise and while there Frank Maupin
held many public Offices and was one
of the best known citizens in the dis
trict. In 1912 they returned to Ore
gon remaining until Nov. ~, 1914
when they came to Richland to make
their permanent home.
He leaves to mourn his loss, be-
sides a host of friends, his widow, An
geline Maupin and seven children, J.
o. and Harry Maupin, of Richland,
Amos Maupin, Of Oakland, CAL; Della
Lazelle, Princeton, Idaho; Bertha
Kuntz, vellier, Mont; Tessie Mulkey,

In fast and furious game Sunday
on the local diamond the Richland ball
team added another victory to its so
far unbroken record for this season
by defeating the Pasco team by a
score of 2 to 5. A crowd Of fans from

to Richland and helped to increase the
noise made by the local rooters. The
Richland team now has a total of five
games to their credit, not having been
defeated so far this season.

'RICHLAND DEPT.
COMMENCEMENT HELD
in THE RICHLAND HIGH
Class of Eight are Given Diplomas
With Appropriate Ceremonies
Professor Showalter Speaks

surrounded by crowd of inter-
ested relatives and friends the class
OF 1916 of the Richland high school
held their commencement exercises in
the high school auditorium last Fri
day evening. The class this year is
unique in that one student, Miss Elda
Clements completed the entire four
year course in three years. This is
the first time such a record has been
made in the local school. Also a point
which makes this class a little diff
ferent from all former classes is the
fact that only one boy was graduated
on this occasion, while seven girls re-
ceived their diplomas. According to
Superintendent Of schools, C. D. Lii
lie, the class average was very high.
although some of the higher individual
averages had been attained by stu
dents in former years. It is with
great pleasure that we can announce
that every member Of the class of 1916
expects to continue their education
in some higher institution of learning,
thereby preparing themselves for the
very best that life has to offer them
in the future.
Miss Helen Sleight delivered the
salutatory address in most pleas
ing manner, while Miss Ruth Gran
lund, as valedictorian, gave a brief
history of the class which was most
enjoyable.
Prof. N. D. Showalter, president of
the Cheney Normal School, made a
special trip to Richland to deliver the
commencement address and his re-
marks were listened to with great in
terest by students, parents and friends
alike.
The musical numbers rendered by
an orchestra composed of Mrs. H. E.
Anthony, Miss Myrtle Penn and
Messrs. Walter Holt, Oscar Rollins
and David Anthony, were extremely
beautiful and warmly encored by the
audience. The High School chorus,
under the direction of Miss Smith.
sang "Forget-Me-Not" in a most
pleasing manner. Prof. G. II. Lille,
in few appropriate remarks, deliv-
cred the diplomas to the graduates
after which the parents and friends
spent some time in offering congrat-
ulations to the young people who had
achieved their first goal in life's jour
ney.

RICHLAND WINS IN
RACE TO MARKET
First Crate of Ripe Strawberries
Brings Twenty Dollars at
Davenport's in Spokane

For the fifth consecutive year the
..-owberry growers of Richland have
-. the first crate of ripe strawber-
T.. crown in the Northwest on the
,,,rket. The first crate this year is
nr;oue in thot the entire "a hallocks
.,.,e produced from one patch, that of
ole Hanson, one of the largest in the
,,lley. This crate was shipped by
r Parks, of the Kennewick-Rich-
,.rd Strawberry Marketing Union to
The Davenport Hotel in Spokane and
aid for the record price SO far
attained for early berries, $4,000 for
the single crate. On the same day a
rate of berries secured from several
,.nches and combined to make the
mil "a hallocks was shipped by Mr..
Parks to Seattle and was there bid in
~ the Washington Hotel at $1,000.
vhich is also the record price ever
aid for like shipment of berries in
saattle. A telegram received from
ne Seattle firm which handled the
berries stating that the crate was re-
eeiyed in excellent shape and that the
fruit was perfect. There is no ques-
ton that the Richland district can pro-
duce the earliest berries in the North
wet putting crate on the market at
least two days before any other Sec
ticn and for anyone interested in
strawberry culture there is no place
which has the advantages of Rich
land.
This year the cool weather has kept
the berries back, but a few warm days
would start things moving lively and
Il will take big crew of pickers to
handle the 1916 crop when the berries
begin to ripen quickly.
