Misses Lille and Stella McLaugh-
lin, the popular telephone operators
at the Richland exchange, took a little
furlough from business and went to
Walla Walla on shopping tour.

that Richland did not suffer much
from the absence of its regular opera
tors.

the readers of the Richland depart

The best be sketball game played in

in the Mabton boys defeating the local

in. the high school gymnasium and af-

reception, together with the necessary
good eats, was rendered to the visit
ing teams. The Richland girls won
the game from the Mabton high.
A large crowd attended the lecture
given by Prof. Morris of Pullman col
lege in the library Monday evening.
His subject, Rural Life on Small
Farms, was particularly applicable to
this community, and if the numerous
bachelors had been present to listen
to the grilling which the professor
handed them, we are of the opinion
that the county clerk would be busily
engaged for some time issuing mar
riage licenses. to these delinquents.
These instructive lectures will be CIV
en- from time to time turnout he year
and everyone should attend.
