kIONA GRABS FIRST BLOOD
Lower Valley Town Accredited
With First Shipment of Straw
berries This Season.

What is reported to be the first
shipment of Strawberries from the en-

NJ. Fassett, president of the Spokane
chamber of commerce from Kiona
Saturday.
The berries We're grown by n. s.
Kendall on his place near the lower
valley town and are said to have been
an excellent article.
Reports from the Columbia river
towns are to the effect that Kennewick
will have strawberries ready for the
market some time this week, but the
Kiona shipment is the first to be re-
ported SO far this season.
Inasmuch as the shipment was
made during April Kiona has sudden
y sprung into prominence and so ia,
as the Spokane chamber of commerce
is concerned the little hamlet Will
probably not be overlooked when in
formation is asked that body for q
place to raise early strawberries.
California berries have been ap.
pearng in local markets for the pas
ten days but there is nothing that ha.
been shown here as yet that is in the
same class with the shipment from the
