Vim. AnShutZ, who has been spend
ing a couple of months in Idaho visit
| ing his folks, returned on flying
trip to Richland Monday to look after
his property here. He has accepted
winters job as Waterman in a big
logging camp and will have his head
quarters in Boville, Idaho, this winter.
w. S. Davidson, local-representative
# the P. P. & L. Co., is enjoying a
well-earned rest, having been granted
months vacation by the company.
Mr.. Davidson left the latter part of
the week for North Yakima where he
will visit for a while and later spend
some time with relatives in Sunnyside,
returning home about the middle of
October.
E. w. Montell, of Washington, D.
c., spent Sunday going over the pro-
ject in the interests Of his father and
several eastern capitalists who are
looking up western propositions. Mr..
Montell is On agricultural expert en-
ployed by the government under the
Hoover administration and has entire
charge of the cold storage department
He is now in North Yakima looking
after a large shipment Of food stuffs.
!. The reception given by the people of
the Methodist church in honor of the
departing pastor, Rev. C. A. Smith,
and the new conner, Rev. II. v. Stone,
proved one of the largest affairs in
the history of the local church. The
basement social room was crowded
by the friends of Rev. Smith, who
wished to convey to him their best
wishes for his future success while at
the same time making the new pas
tor welcome.
H. L. Caldwell, another progressive
Richland rancher, has joined the auto
owning class. Last week he purchas-
ed fine new Ford from C. H. Lille,
the car having been used only
a few hundred miles. Needless to say
the young folks in the Caldwell fam
lily and their many friends are making
good use of their dads machine. How
ever, they let him ride once in while
just so that he will know that he has
car in the family.
A fine new Eureka silo has been
erected on the Willis ranch north of
town. Its capacity is somewhere in
the neighborhood of 80 tons and a pit
six feet in depth cemented, has been
dug on which the foundation was put.
The Willis ranch is one of the big
dairy ranches in the Richland district
and everything which will make for
the best results in dairy production
will be installed as soon as the owners
are able to do so. Richland is going
more and more into the dairy business
every year as a district where four
crops of alfalfa can be grown to the
acre every year is place well worth
the attention of the dairyman.
Word has been received by relatives
and friends Of Gene Mitchell and Jack
Martin, two of the Richland boys who
volunteered in the navy as soon as the
war was declared. Jack is stationed
on the Red Cross ship America"
which is expected to sail at any time
for France carrying a large number of
doctors and nurses. Gene is on the
"New York." stationed in the vicinity
of New York. Young Martins head
quarters or shore has been Boston,
for some time past, and he and Mitch
ell arranged to get shore leave of 48
hours so that they could meet and
talk over old times and home folks
and they surely enjoyed their visit
from the reports received at home in
Richland. George Dresser is still in
San Francisco, but expects to be or
dered to San Diego any day.
T. ]. Chalcraft left the latter part
of the week for North Yakima to have
charge Of the exhibit from Richland
at the state fair. Mr.. Chalcraft, as
sisted by A. L. Nelson and F. J.
O'Brien, succeeded in getting togeth-
er very representative display from
this district and should give the pub
lie at large a fair idea of what we can
produce in this section. One immense
sugar beet, grown by Andrew Paulsen
and weighing over rs pounds, caused a
great deal of comment and will un-I
doubtedly prove quite an eye opener
to the people of Yakima county, who
are going rather extensively into the
production of sugar beets from which
to make sugar. Richland may well be
proud of her showing at the fair and
Mr.. Chalcraft, who is thoroly CONVEX
SAINT with local conditions, will prove
a capable representative to have on
