GRAPES WILL

Success Of Experiment Shows Big
Possibilities for the
Growers


During the marketing season last
fall, Commissioner F. A.. Huntley
and E. M. Sly packed in sawdust
a quantity of several varieties of
European grapes and placed them
in the basement at the Fruit &
Produce Company's warehouse, as
an experiment as to their keeping
qualities.
These grapes were unpacked this
week and most of them were found
to be in fair marketable condition.
The flavor seemed actually to have
improved with age and was found
to be very much superior to the
corkdust-packed Spanish grapes
which are now retailing in the local
stores at 25 cents per pound.

thusiastic over the success Of their

The above pictures are of Mr..
and Mrs. Oscar Howe who celebra-
ted the fiftieth anniversary of their
wedding last New Years eve. The
smaller cuts were made from tin
types taken at the time of their
wedding in 1860 and the larger
ones the day of their fiftieth ami
versary.
The golden wedding, which was
celebrated at the home of their
children Mr.. and Mrs. HI. A. Howe
was the first event of the kind ever
held in this section of the state and
was quite the affair of the holiday
season. Ten or fifteen couples who
were well on the way to the half
century mark of welded life were
present and helped to revive the old
time memories by entering into the
old fashioned pasttimes with zest.
Well up into the prime of life
when he married, Mr.. Howe after
his fifty years Of welded life is still
hale and hearty, reading and writ
ing without the aid of spectacles.
Mrs. Howe, nine years younger, is
no less active and alert than the
partner with whom she has lived
for the past half century. -
Born in New York inA1831, Mr..
Howe moved to Illinois which al
that time was considered the far
west frontier, with his parent s in
1851, settling on farm near Wau.
kegan. Nine years later he married
Miss Mary Adams OF that place.
When the war broke out he en-
listed in the 17ih Illinois Volunteer
Cavalry and served until the end O.
the war, escaping from any injury
After his return he and his wifi,
lived in Waukegan until 1868 when
they moved With their family te
Tama county, Iowa, living G there TO
fourteen yeers. In 1882 they movee
to South Dakota, taking up a home
stead. They farmed their place un
til 1902 when they retired from
active farm work and moved to Mt
Vernon where they took up thei
residence, coming to Kennewick t
make their home in 1907.
The affairs of the evenings en-
tertainment were left in the hand

younger members of the Club.
The committee is having some
little trouble over the details of the
luncheon which they had planned
to have prepared for the members
next Tuesday night. The Baptist
Ladies Aid had agreed to feed the
multitude but circumstances arose
which make it inconvenient to do 40
so that the committee is left with
but limited time in which to make
arrangements with another society.
They are now trying to interest the
Methodist ladies in the plan, but up
up to the time of going to press no
definite arrangements have been
made.

product of the Courier Press, and
is welcome change from the old

experiment, and claim tbatit opens
up great possibilities for the local
growers. 1t certainly seems that
there is no reason why our grapes,
which are as fine as can be raised
anywhere in the world, should not
be preserved by this method and
put upon the market at holiday
time when the price is always high
and the demand brisk.
Many growers will undoubtedly
put up for preservation, part Of
their next years crop and if the
method proves generally successful,
it will mean thousands of dollars
profits in the vineyardists' pockets.

Much Important Work Befd
who Will Direct City's Af5
For Next Two Years

With short addresses by ex-mayor
L. E. Johnson and ex-councilmen
Bier, the old city administration
gave way to the new on Tuesday
night.
The old coucnil met at the usual
hour, all members except NJ. Church
being present, and after hearing re-
ports from the marshal, treasurer,
and clerk, and transacting some
other small matters of unfinished
business gave over the reins Of COVER
ment to Mayor Richards and his
colleagues.
In brief farewell address, Mr..
Johnson thanked his council for
their harmonious corporation with
him during the past term and said
it was with regret that he severed
official association with them. He
said he believed that the retiring
body had served with their best a.
bility, that the new administration
were an exceptionally capable body
and would he able to take up the
work and accomplish even more un-
der the better working conditions of
a third-class form of city government.
He pointed out to the new council
the many problems with which they
would have to deal and particularly
emphasized the importance Of taking
up the question of a sewer system.
and pushing it to an early compile
ton. In the matter of finance, NJ
Johnson said, it might appear that
the old council had been extrava-
CANT, but he believed they had done
their best in keeping the expenses
down and had expended only up to
the city's actual needs.
He advised the new adminis-
tration hereafter to look to the rails.
ing funds from assessment as in his
opinion the needs Of the city had
grown beyond the capacity Of the
tax rolls.
At the conclusion Of the mayors
remarks, retiring councilman III. A..
Bier was called upon to speak, be
having the distinction Of having
been connected with the city's gov
erment steadily since its inception
seven years ago. The FIRST year al
ter the city's incorporation Mr.. Bier
acted as treasurer and for the past six
years has served as councilman.
Mr.. Bier echoed Mr.. Johnson's
regret in breaking away from old
associations although he pointed out
that seat on the concil meant many
long, weary nights work and often
a curtain lecture on arriving home
after an unusually lengthy session.
He too expressed the belief that the
new administrator would prove even
better qualified than the old to ham
die the city's affairs, and wished
them every success in their efforts.
The old council then adjourned
sine die and the new members tobk
their places at the table while those
retiring seated themselves with tie
spectators. newspaper men and other
common people.
| Upon being called to order BY
Mayor Richards the new council i'm.
mediately drew lots for long and
short terms. The one year slips fell
to councilmen Rudkin, Morain and

Annis and Anderson will serve fol
