land and vicinity going over the tele-

friends of Mrs. Fred Johnson learn
that she is not improving in any way
since she was removed to the hospital
in Walla Walla last week. DR.. Cros-
by, of Kennewick phoned to Richland
advising that the doctors had decided
that the disease which was slowly
sapping her vitality was cancer and
grave fears were entertained for her
at this writing.
Blanche Clements, one of the most
popular girls in the Richland district.
left this week for Prosser, where she
has been offered fine position in the
county treasurer's Office. Everyone
will miss Miss Blanche for she always
had cheerful word for everybody,
and the best wishes of her host of
friends will follow her to Prosser
where there is no doubt she will make
success of her chosen work.
C. D. Mitchell and B. Richter are
engaged in laying out the grades on
the town lateral of the Benton ditch
preparatory to the concreting of it
from the L. H. Cox corner to VIM.
Hellinger's land. This work was made
necessary owing to the large amount
of seepage water which got away last
year. 1t will take close to three hum
dred barrels of cement to do the work
but when it is completed the ditch will
be permanent and a source Of much
satisfaction, not only to the company
but to the people on the flat below
who were troubled by the seepage.
Mrs. j. M. Breithaupt entertained
at delightful dinner Tuesday noon
for the little tots who are members Of

gelical church. Mrs. Breithaupt makes
it point to entertain at least once
a year for her class and the young
sters certainly appreciate her efforts.

daffodils. The little folks in attend
ance were Florence and Harold Young,
