Friends in Richland regret to learn
of the death of Robert Ellis, small SON
of Mr.. and Mrs. C. v. Ellis, who have
made Richland their home for the
past year. Death was due to leakage
of the heart from which the little fell
low had been sufferer for several
years. His parents had travelled ex-
tensively thru the country in an effort
to find some place where his health
would improve, but without avail and
last week decided to go back to their
old home in Dakota. The little boy
became worse and was taken to the
hospital in Yakima where he died Sat-
urday. The body will be taken back
to Dakota for burial. The many friends
of the family in this district extend
their heartfelt sympathy to the be-
reaved family.

The moving bug has struck Richland
and it is hard to start out calling in
these days, as it is almost impossible
to locate ones friends in their old
hunting grounds. To start with, Per-
ry Willoughby has moved into the
Hopper residence. C. s. Teachout has
purchased the Brennerman home re-
Gently vacated by the Willoughby
family and will move in next week.
A. p, Gray has leased the William
Young tract and will move the first Of
the month, while A. G. Rosaaen has
rented the house to be vacated by the
Gray family. In the shuttle the only
citizen the community will lose is VIM.
Young, who expects to leave for CAL
gary. This moving business has to
be done, but it is seldom that such a
general shakeup takes place all at one
time.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Martin are re-
joicing over the receipt of a telegram
from their son Jack stating that he
has secured fifteen days. furlough and
will be home for a short visit next

deal of interest to hearing him tell
of his experiences and impressions Of
conditions across the water.
Manager A. G. Rosaaen, of the local
yard of the st. Paul & Tacoma lum-
Der company states that the first two
months cash receipts for this year al
most equals the entire cash income for
the past year.
A. Hudson, of Pasco, was a visitor
in town Sunday.
The Richland Red Cross circle will
give chicken supper in the club room
Friday evening. It is going to be one
fine feed, so the ladies promise and
no one should miss it, as the price will
be reasonable and the refreshments
the best. The local circle is in need of
funds, as they have received advice
from Yakima that there is great
need of sleeping garments, and as the
outing flannel is expensive the ladies
must hustle to get money to pur-
chase the material. William Young,
who has been most liberal in his do
nations to the local circle, has just
given two fine turkeys which will be
sold at auction for the benefit Of the
circle, while George Crutchfeld, has
donated fine little pig for the same
purpose. In this way enough money
will be realized to start sewing opera
tions in short time.
Everyone in the district is invited
to attend the entertainment given at
the Fruitvale schoolhouse Saturday
evening. At this time the slumber
robe for the Y. M. c. A. will be raf-
fled off. M. M. Moulton, Of Kennewick
will be present and deliver an inter-
esting address on Y. M. C. A. war work
