couver, WASH, this week visiting his
son Cyril and family, and transacting
some important business. During his
absence Sidney and Mrs. Relton are
holding down the postoffice job in
most creditable manner. 49,.
Miss Leona Boettscher, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Boettscher, who is
student at the Bellingham normal,
surprised her parents by dropping in
on them Thursday of last week. Miss
Leona states that the school has been
closed on account of the influenza so
she thought she would take advantage
of the vacation to come home for
short visit.
There has been such a rush in the
apple business at the packing shed
during the past week that the school
busses were requisitioned Monday to
haul loads of packed apples to Kenne-
wick for shipment. The apples will
all be off by the end of the month and
the crop has been a good one for the
entire district.
G. D. Mitchell, engineer in charge
of construction work for the Columbia
Irrigation District of Kennewick, had
the misfortune to break his right
wrist Friday morning when cranking
his Ford. Mr.. Mitchell is able to be
out and around, but says the break
hurts pretty badly and that he will
handle his jitney with care in the flu
ture.
Two more children in the A. p.
Long family were taken down with a
complication of scarlet fever and diph-
liberia Saturday. This makes prac-
tically every one of the eight children
to have either one or both of these
diseases within the past two months.
The family has been in quarantine
for over two months and from the
present outlook the disease has not
I yet run it's course. The little patients
are doing as well as can be expected
at this writing.
Abe Vandine and family and Hugh
Vandine and family of Seattle arrived
in Richland Friday to make their fu-
ture homes. The trip was made from
Seattle in covered wagons and was
much enjoyed by all. Abe Vandine has
purchased the Meyers tract in Sec
ton three which is well improved
place and will move in as soon as the
Long family, who are now occupying
the house, are out of quarantine, so
that the house can be fumigated. Hugh
Vandine purchased tract in the
Fruitvale district where the family is
living at the present time.
BY order of the health officer, DR..
Morrison, of Kennewick, the Richland
schools were closed at noon Monday,
owing to the fact that influenza had
made it's appearance in the district.
To date no serious cases have develop
ed. but it was thought best to err on
the safe side, hence the schools were
closed for an indefinite period, much
to the delight of the small boy.
Attic the death Of Harry Maupin,
Richards sailor lad, is fully chron-
icled in another column this week, we
feel that we must offer at least word
of sympathy to the bereaved mother
who is one of the best known women
in shis vicinity. Richland now has
two golden stars in her service flag,
symbolizing two of her boys who gave
their lives in their country's service,
Sidney Jameson and Harry Maupin,
and no Ole will ever be able to forget
! these boys when the emblems of their
patriotism are before us every day of
our lives. We offer our heartfelt sym
patty to the surviving relatives, hop.
ing that this may in some way help
them to hear their burden of sorrow.
