Prizes of 81 each will be given
to ranchcrs bringing in the best
small bundles of timothy hay, al
falfa, or and others kinds Of grass
es. Similar awards will be made
to the growers of the best punches
of wheat, oats, and other kinds of
grain. Prizes of + will be given
also to the growers of the best half
bushels Of the different kinds of
tlrashcd grains.
The specimens may be left at
Mr.. Hubbell's Office, at either of
the three newspaper offices or at
the Chamber of Commerce rooms.
AT the close of the harvest season
a day will be appointed for the
Judging and the prizes will be
awarded and the names of the
growers announced.
The only rules governing the
contest are that the bundles of
grain or grasses must be about
four inches in diameter where
bound, and that the heads and roots
must be intact.
The following local business men
will act as Judges:
Grasses: b. +. Reed, Henry
Kleinburg, and George Siegel.
Grains-Andrew Olsen, r. p.
Tjossem and Mr.. Dewcese.
Mr.. Hubbell has adopted this
means of collecting the materials
for a display in the belief that i'll
offering prizes instead OF employ
ing collector and paying for the
hire of a horse and buggy, money
would be saved and more funds
could be put into the display.
While the money prizes are not
large, the. awards will be of suflici-
cnt size to repay the ranCler foi
his trouble in delivering a spcc-
men of his grain or grasses. 1t is
the hope of the men in charge Of
the display, that the farmers will
consider the A. Y. p. exhibit a
matter of personal pride, and that
each one will put forth a little eff
fort to make the Kittitas display
superior to any exhibit at the ex-
position.
The matter of a fruit display
will be taken up as soon as preServ-
ing jars have been delivered. Mr..
Hubbell is in communication with
company which makes special
ty of manufacturing jars for ex-
hibiting fruit and the order will be
sent in within a few days.
The county has appropriated
So, 500 for a display at the Seattle
fair. The exhibit must be collect
ed and prepared this fall as the
fair opens early next spring, long
| before the harvest season.

canifnI
Capitol.
WAS ROBBED.

Harrisburg, Pa, March 2.-Fol-
lowing up she line OF rebuttal under
taken, the commonwealth In the
state capitol conspiracy trial called
additional experts so show that the
prices charged by Contractor J. II.
Ssnderson for the furniture OF the
capitol were greatly In excess Of the
actual value OF specially designed"
furniture. The purpose Of this testi
mony is to sustain the contention OF
the prosecution that the Sanderson
contract Was an uncoGscionable one
and that the accused former state
officers permitted Sanderson 80 col.
lect thousands OF dollars In Illegal
profits.
Charles A. Johns, of Milwaukee,,
who has furnished many public build.
ings, testified as to his opinion ofthe
actusl cash value OF articles OF fur.
nisure In all parts OF the capitol. In
all instances they were much less
than paid by the state. A divan In
she public anteroom OF the senate
which cost the state $4,000 Johns
said was worth only S270.
Charles F. Retting, a manufacturer
OF furniture at Grand Rapids, Mich,
testified that the "throne chairy for
the speaker OF the house, which cost
the state $761, was worth 5000, a
sofa which cost the state 81, ,920 was
worth $500, a clothes tree for which
the state paid S27,50 was worth
$12; a small window seat for which
Sanderson was paid 1921 was worth
800.
