McArtor recently purchased 3O-acre
tract in section 26. They will make
their home in town until the tract is
improved.
Richland is becoming a real oil CEN
ter. Joseph Koelsch, the veteran oil
stock broker, is in receipt of letter
from the Conservative Oil Co., of Wal
la Walla that they intend to start a
well here in the immediate future.
Word has been received by friends
in town that Mrs. H L. Anthony, who
made Richland her home for seven
years and now resides in Seattle, has
just been taken home from the hospital
where she has been dangerously ill for
some time.
j. Z. Neff, of Seattle, was in Rich
land the latter part of the week look
ing over the oil situation in this part
of the valley. He was very favorably
impressed and those who were instru-
mental in having him come here are
much encouraged with his report.
A number of the local boys who
were discharged from the service ar
rived home this week. "Bill'' Dunning,
who has been in one of the bands at
Mare Island, came back Tuesday. c..
Zachow and Lee Sutton, who have been
at Camp Lewis came the same night.
E. Zimmerman, accompanied by
Miss Blanche and little Miss Julia
Clements, were in Prosser Monday,
where the girls visited Mrs. Victor
Pauhlman. Postmaster VIM. Relton
was one of the party also, going up

ty commissioners in regard to the ir-
rigation district.
The Methodist Sunday school has
been trying to increase its attendance
which had become slightly demoraliz-
ed during the influenza panic and the
Sunday school officials are most jubi-
liant over the result. Last Sunday the
was 131, away over the
mark which. they had set for their
limit. Every child in the district is
invited to come to Sunday school if
they do not attend elsewhere.
Scoutmaster H. A. Stone will take
a hike Saturday, February s, with his
boys to Badger. The start will be
made from Richland promptly at eight
o'clock and it is not expected that
the Scouts will return until evening.
They will carry along their eats and
cooking untensils and will do things
up in regular camping style. The boys
are showing a great deal of interest
in the scout organization and a num-
Der of new members have been taken
in lately while the regular meetings
every Monday evening are well at
tended.
Z 1t is about time for the various fac
tons in Richland to grid on their ar

fray. This year there are two directors
to be elected in March, one to succeed
H, T. Clark of the Fruitvale district,
whose term expires and one in place
of S. M. Ross, who is filling out the
caused by the resignation of
w. S. Louckes. If one may judge by
past events we will have a stirring
time, but really, this year things seem
very quiet in school circles. However,
you never can tell until the very last
and here's hoping for some
real, live stuff.
