Last week we published an item
about the old brick house which was
recently torn down, north Of the
school house. Geo. Spaeth says it was
built in 1856, the year he came to
Garden Grove and that colored
orick maker by the name of True,
made the brick. Mr.. Spaeth also made
brick here about that time and made
some brick eight inches square which
were used for the floor in the back

Thrill Of Being Wet.

There is something rudimentary and
fundamental about having water
splashed down upon one and getting
completely and deliciously wet-not
damp. not moist. but wet, wringing
wet. You yourself when child never
enjoyed anything SO much as your first
drenching In an unforeseen and un
avoidable rainstorm-the thrill Of be-
ing wet. the cool drive Of the water on
your nose, into your sleeves and down
your neck. and the joyous slush OF
soaked. water logged boots Even the
tedium of being rubbed with alcohol,
bundled up and warned you would
catch your death did not diminish the
event You voted II better than the
time You fell or the boat dock; 1t last
ed longer.-Atlantic.

WANT new ROAD FROM
RICHLAl ID TO RAILROAD
Farmers Want More Direct Route to
Leslie Siding on the
O-W. r. & N.

A great many of the farmers in and
around Richland are advocating a new
road from a point southwest of town
across the Yakima river in the vicin-
ity of Gordon Moores' ranch. The idea
is to secure a road with more reason
able grade to the O-W. r. & N. siding
at Leslie and if the road is built as
contemplated it will bring Richland
within two miles of railroad transpor-
tation. The present road to Leslie
from Richland makes it necessary to
go thru private land and climb an ex-
tremely high hill and were the new
road put thru this would be obviated.
1t is also suggested that the old Yak
ina bridge which will have to be re-
placed soon in any event, could be
used to advantage as crossing over
the Yakima for the new road and then
a new steel bridge could be put in to
replace the present bridge over the
river. A great many prominent men
are at work trying to have this road
built and it is hoped that it will be
constructed in the very near future.

H. T. Clark was elected without OPP
position to the position of school di-
rector for the three year term at the
election Saturday. Mr.. Clark takes
the place of William Hellinger. The
selection of this candidate was unani-
mously endorsed by both the Vale and
Strawberry oranges as it was felt
that Fruitvale was entitled to repre-.
sentation on the Richland school board
and inasmuch as Mr.. Clark had always
taken an active interest in school af-
fairs he was chosen.

cars of lumber in all will be used for

The basketball games Saturday eve,
ming between the Richland boys and
girls and the Kennewick aggregation
drew the largest crowd of fans that
has turned out for game this sea-

ally good game but the Richland team
was too strong for the visitors and
the score was IA to 5 in favor of Rich
land when time was called. The Rich
land girls have one of the best teams
in the valley and are surely credit
to their coach, Miss Zada Roe. The
boys played a close. game but did not
display their usual high class team
work altho great many spectacular
individual plays were made, espec-
tally noticeable being the work of Gene
Mitchell, David Anthony and Wayne
Mowrey, Of the home team. The Ken
newick boys played fine game and
finally won from Richland by score
of Is to "a. It was the last game of
the season and highly enjoyed by all
who attended. Ed. Dunning acted as
referee for the boys in a very salts
factory manner.

FANNIE WARD IN
 THE CHEAT" UASkO

There is unusual interest attached to the coming Lasky Feature Play Company's release, Fannie Ward in "The Cheat" Cecil B. De Mile pro duced picture, which will be shown in the Gem Theatre next Monday. Jesse l.. Lasky, in letter to W. w. Hod- kinson, president of the Paramount Corporation, declared his belief that the production was one of the very best, if not the best, photoplay the producing firm has done, and that it certainly placed Fannie Ward in a foremost place among motion picture actresses.
 Hector Turnbull is the author of "The Cheat" the story of which finds an application to thousands and thous ands of families. It is the story of an extravagant and minimizing wife who compromises herself through thought lessness. In the moment of her great peril her husband comes to her res cue, shoulders the blame for her ris- tol attack on wealthy young Japan ese and stands trial for the assault.
 The verdict of the jury is that the husband is guilty. But the wife goes on the stand, tells the true story, shows the mark which the Japanese made on her shoulder and wins the acquittal of her husband. Meanwhile the Japanese is nearly mobbed in court
 It is a swift moving melodrama of many surprising scenes.
 Miss Ward, heretofore on the stage and on the screen (she was the star in the Lasky production, "The Mar riage of Kitty") has been known chiefly as comedienne. Now she be- comes a dramatic actress of great skill and power.
 The supporting company includes Jack Dean, as the husband, Sessue Hayakawa, as the Japanese; James Neill, Utaka Abe, Dana Ong and Hazel Childers.
