1.-THE incident was reported by
Colonel Chase to the naval district
comandant, Smiths Island is off the
mouth of the Cape Fear River near
the entrance of the channel to Will
mington, n. G.
Assuming that the attack on the
island was deliberate officials plainly
were puzzled as to its purpose. The
only explanation. was that the sub
marine commander sought to put the
light house out OF commission with
the attendant danger to passing ships.
If that were the purpose. however.
officials could not understand why
the commander did not destroy the
light house with his guns.
On the basis Of reports received
concerning the attack on the subma-
rine off the Virginia coast, officials
would not venture an opinion as to the
possibility that the u-boat was de-
not given in the dispatch and conse-
uuently. it was not known whether
it was before or after the gassing Of
the men on Smiths Island.
The attack must have occurred Sun
day and been reported by radio, but
the more generally accepted belief
was that it took place several days
ago and since there was no conclusive
nroof of destruction of the enemy
the destroyer waited until returning
to its base before reporting to the

RICHLAND BOY DIES
IN U. S. SERVICE
Sydney Jameson Succumbs to
Attack of Pneumonia-Twice
Rejected for Service

Sydney "Bud" Jameson, son Of Mr.
and Mrs. Herschel Jameson, of Rich
land, died Wednesday evening at the
Vancouver barracks. The body was
shipped to Richland where the funeral
will be held Friday at one o'clock in
Richland and interment will be in the
Kennewick cemetery.
Young Jameson was one Of the
first Richland boys to answer his
country's call. He enlisted in what is
now Battery E, 146th artillery and
after training in Walla Walla for
some time he was rejected because of
an injured wrist at the time the Bat
terry was mustered into federal SER
vice. Later he again tried to get into
the service and was rejected. A few
months ago he was called by the draft
and left home while yet convalescing
from an attack of pneumonia. He was
stationed at Vancouver, where a re-
lapse caused his death.

SOME EATS ON TRANSPORT


Enormous Supplies Necessary to Pro.
vision Troops on Sea Trip
An account Of how soldiers are fed
at seas is given in the daily ncwspa-
per published on a transport:
"Outside of providing 10000 meals
at sea, the mess officer Of the ship has
very little to do. Very little.
"He is called upon to provide, by
the regulations, 40 different varieties
of food. That's all. Ever try to or
der 40 different things to eat? Yet
this is the authentic list
"The food needed to feed several
thousand men at sea ranges beyond
the glutton's dreams. You get the
answer in the ship down below the
water line, where 7,290 loaves Of bread
have been baked in one day, and where
you stumble over every variety, from
10000 pounds of beef to 132, 900 eggs,
or a compartment Of brick ice cream
in a 10-degree-above-zero vault

Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Haueisen, of Ken
newick, spent the Fourth with rela.
tives in Richland.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. Gibbons and son
Billie of Connell, were guests over the
Fourth at the B. S. Wadsworth home.
Judge F. A. Howes and party Of
friends drove up from Portland to
spend the Fourth with their old
friends and neighbors.
Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Knapp and the
children, of Hermiston, Ore, drove to
Richland to spend the Fourth with
their parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. B.
Clements.
The Richland Red Cross cleared
over 500 from their ice cream and
lunch booth in the park on the Fourth.
The quilts which were ratified of by
n. Wheelhouse brought a good sum,
one being bid in by John Weidle, one
by Mrs. T. J. Chalcraft and one by Mr..
Chalcraft. The ladies wish to thank
everyone for their liberal patronage.
That Richland is mighty fine place
to live, especially If you want to farm,
is again demonstrated by the exper-
fences Of the William Young family
in Calgary. They left here this spring,
expecting to make a stake in the nor
thern country, having disposed of their
large herd Of cattle, farm implements,
etc., and leasing their tract. Now they
write back to friends that they are
ready to come home, want to rent a
house, buy back their horses and make
Richland their home for good. They
state that the crops are very poor up
there, prices high and that they have
been sick practically all the time since
leaving Richland. What better re-
commentator can district have than
this, that those leaving it are always
glad to come back, satisfied that it is

Richland friends were much shock
ed to learn of the death of DR.. M. p.
Davidson, of Hanford. Mr.. Davidson
and family made their home in this
section of the valley for two years
and he was one of the best known men
in the valley, where he endeared him
self to everyone by his jovial DISPOSE
ton and kind heart. The sympathy OF
every resident of Richland is extended
to the bereaved wife and children.
John A. Nicholaus, who owns the
Louckes tract north of town is put
ting in great many improvements
and conveniences. The Pacific Power
& Light company is installing a motor
for him which will be used for pump
ing water for domestic purposes as
we'll as to run the washing machine,
vacuum cleaner and other electrical
devices which makes housekeeping a
simple mateer. Mr.. Nicholaus will re-
model the house now on this tract and
build new barn. These improvements
will make the place one of the finest
in the Richland district.
Richland has again proved its pa
triotic spirit by going over the top
on the War Savings stamp drive last
week. Our quota was $4,000 and at
the last count $11, 440 had been sub
scribed in amounts from $500 to $500.
Harry Hutton is probably the highest
subscriber with $500, while practical
ly every little boy and girl in the val
ley has at least one stamp to show for
the spirit of 1918. Many paid up in
full for their subscriptions at this
time, but others allowed their names
to be placed for stamps covering each
month during the balance of the year.
The committeeman state that prac-
tically everyone has signed the pledge
sent out by the county council OF de-
Tense ard that they had a very easy
time in getting the subscriptions to
the stamps fund. It is expected that
when all returns are in the total will
reach $4,000. ..@

to see if theirs clacking will not keep
away the marauders.
Henry Schireman has display in
his barber shop window which appeals
most strongly to every citizen Of our
town. The pictures of every boy from
this district who is now in the ser
vice will be placed in the window as
soon as they are received so that on
the Fourth outsiders can see what a
bright bunch of boys are fighting for
their country from our little town.
A number of the farmers in this
district who plowed up their strawber-
ry patches last year, or at least de-
cided to go out of the strawberry bust
ness, are now replanting from two to
three acres as the outlook for the
strawberry business in Ridhland is
most encouraging. The yield this year
was cut about in half, due to adverse
the men who had good patches. not
weather conditions, but even at that
affected by weevil or spider, cleared
big profits on their investments. There
is lot of work connected with the
strawberry business, but the returns
are good and the money is received by
the grower early in the season so that
he has something to tide him over
until the later crops are sold. c. D.
Mitchell has planted fine patch of
berries and expects good yield next
year.

IN THE FUTURE

Many people do not realize that a
very careful census is being taken of
those who subscribe, and the amounts
they subscribe, to this Third Liberty
Loan. Patriotic men and women, who
believe that America is the best land
in the world to live in, have gone
about the matter Systematically and
have listed carefully every citizen
who is able to buy one $4,000 bond
They have not only listed them, but
have looked up their records and have
found out how much more than a
$4,000 bond they are able to buy.
This record is going to be kept and
in the future, it is going to be known
who has done his patriotic duty, and
VINO has not done It. When the boys
return victorious from across the sea,
these records are going to be avail
able to them. These boys, who have
gone Over There" and have risked
their lives to make this tight are gong
to come very nearly running this
country when they return and d brand
worse than the brand OF Cain is go
ing to be placed upon every man vino
did not do his full and patriotic duty
during these times when the very life
of the Country is at stake.
There may be some who are so
thoughtless as TO argue. 1T is no
boys business how many Liberty
Bonds 1 take" They forget that when
this country is at war what a man
does is the publIc's business, and it is
particularly the public's business to
know to just what extend every man
is supporting his country in the war
No, fellows-tEe old argument
won't hold. You are going to do your
-ey now or your children will curse
you in the future. For they will be
considered children of shame by their
associates because their father refus-
associates because their father refus-
ed to do his patriotic duty.
In considering this matter of Lib
erty Loan Bonds do not forget the
future.
