RICHL AND DEPT.

Mr.. and Mrs. H. L. Caldwell left
Tuesday for Waitsburg to visit old
friends. They will also take in the
Pendleton Roundup while away as
they made their home in Pendleton
for number of years before moving
to Richland. The trip was made in
their car and will take about a week.
Three new silos will be built in
Richland this fall; one on the Harry
Davis ranch, one for d. j. Dillon and
one for F. C.. Anderson, all ranchers
living south of Richland. These men
are making a success of scientific
farming and expect to go into the
dairying business more extensively as
conditions warrant. The Dillon silo
is now in process of construction, the
different ncighbors helping with the
work owing to the scarcity of labor
and it is expected that all three will
be completed this month and ready
for filling. -s..+ .-.'.
B. F. Sarjant, of Spokane, auditor
for the Industrial Insurance Commits
sion of the state of Washington, was
in town Saturday making an audit of
the books of such firms and individ-
uals as come under the insurance COM
pensation act. r
Mrs. Jane O'Brien, who has been
visiting her SON F. j. O'Brien for the
past month, left Friday for Seattle to
visit relatives for a few days before
returning to her home in st. Paul.
Editor Perry Willoughby, of the Adj
vocate was visitor at the county seat
Friday. -
"Bill" Paulson, who has been sta
toned at Camp Lewis for the past six
months, writes his parents that he ex-
poets to leave there any day now. He
sends picture of himself and three
comrades, and, judging from his looks
Bill is having pretty fair time.
Rev. H. r. Stone of the Richland
Methodist church returned home Mon
day from the annual conference held
in Pendleton last week. He reports a
most enjoyable and instructive ses-
sion and the best thing about it, so
far as the Richland people is concern
ed, is that we are to have this pro-
gressive and likeable young man with
us for another year. We are surely
glad Of it as he has created an inter-
est in church and civic affairs among
the boys and girls which was badly
needed here and another year will
only see the good work continue.
How about that community sing ?
If it isn't pulled off pretty soon it will
be too cool in the park to spend the
evening there and it would be shame
to have to hold the meeting indoors.
A number of the young people of
Richland are planning a dance to be
held in the hall Saturday evening, the
18th Of September, the proceeds to go
to the Red Cross. Everyone should
turn out as good music is guaranteed
and a big crowd is being planned for.
Sheriff C. E. Duffy was in town on
Monday, hard on the track Of slack
er.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. C. Mountain and
family left Friday for their new home
in Mabton, where Prof. Mountain will
have a position as superintendent of
schools this year and Mrs. Mountain
will teach one of the grades. They
have leased their ranch north of town
to j. B. Miller.
Altho two other children in the fam
lily of A. R. Long developed mild cases
of diphtheria, it is not considered
necessary by the doctor to compel the
further closing of the Richland school.
Hence all the little folks are back at
the hard grind and the teachers are
rapidly getting everything on good
working basis.
Mrs. F. C. Anderson left Thursday
for Spokane where she will meet old
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. John Hutton
and five children of Grand Forks, B. C.
who are making the trip to Richland
in their car to visit at the Anderson
home. Mrs. Anderson will drive back
with them from Spokane. Mr.. Hut
ton is the city clerk of Grand Forks,
and previous to coming to Richland
Mr.. Anderson was in charge of the
city electrical works in that place.
A. Kier, of Grand Forks, B. c., who
has been a guest at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. F. C. Anderson for the past
week, left Monday for Seattle, enroute
