.RICHI AND DEPT.

The measles epidemic keeps up its
work, a great many new cases having
developed in the last week. At the
present rate it won't be long till every
kiddo in town who has never had the
measles will have surrendered to the
siege.
Simon Carlson, who ran pike pole
into his foot several weeks ago, is now
confined to his bed by the serious con-
dition of the wound. For a time he
was able to be up and around but the
foot did not get well and as result
he is in a great deal of pain.
Word has been received by relatives
and friends in Richland that Gene
Mitchell has been accepted by the
government and is now stationed at
Bremerton. Gene was forced to un-
dergo quite an operation before he was
taken but now he is perfectly happy
as he is along with the rest of the
Richland contingent at the navy yard.
A large crowd of people from Ken
newick, Hanford and surrounding
towns attended the flag raising cele-
bration in Richland Sunday. The ideal
weather, the beautiful park and the
fine music made it an affair long to
be remembered by the patriotic citi-
zens who attended. The able address
of Prof. T. C. Mountain was heartily
encored as were also the timely re-
marks Of Mayor G. D. Hopper. The
music was especially fine and heartily
encored.
News is so scarce around Richland
that it is almost impossible to find a
'loca" running around loose any
where. People stay at home and
work and then by night they are so
dog tired that they can't get out to
make news for the so-called Society
editors" Nobody is moving, nobody
has bought a Ford and the mad dogs
and coyotes are conspicuous by their
extreme docility. It is to be hoped that
something will be stirring ere long OF
the newspaper business, from the cor
respondents point of view will be
a losing game.
The Ladies' Aid of the Methodist
church is planning community pic
mic to be held in the hall on the
Fourth Of July. Last year the affair
was such a success, when given un-
der the auspices of the Methodist
Sunday school, that the ladies decided
to go ahead on the same lines. Ev-
erybody is invited and everybody is
welcome. Music and games will help
to pass away the time and every
youngster will get chance to run a
race or jump thru knot hole in or
der to secure some prize. Don't for
get to plan to spend that day in the
park, bring a lunch and have jolly
time.

BAND TO REORGANIZE

We give below an announcement
which is of great Importance to The
people of Richland. The time was
when the Richland band and the Rich
land orchestra were organizations of
which the community might well be
proud but owing to the fact that many
of the old players moved away the
musical situation has been far from
what it should be for the past year.
Those who have the welfare of the
district at heart feel that well con-
Quoted band which could render selec-
lions in the park on Sundays and at
all public affairs would be distinct
benefit to everybody so be sure to
read this notice and if you are a mu-
stefan or unsteady inclined, attend
the meeting Monday night in the hall.
The Richland band will reorganize.
All players in town and country are
urged to be present. There will be
an opportunity given few of the
younger boys to learn. Boys that are
thoroly in earnest are urged to come
and talk it over. Bring your instru-
ments, Anon hall, Monday night.
