The superior quality of Kenne-
wick grapes as compared with those
of every other fruit growing district
OF the great Northwest has once
more demanded recognition, this
time from the thousands of visitors
thronging the grounds at the Inter-
state Fair at Spokane this week.
The second grand prize offered for
grape displays and sixteen smaller
prizes have been won by Kennewick.
The decision of the judge, profess
sor from the University of Idaho,
which awarded the first prize of
forty dollars to North Yakima, the
second prize of twenty-five dollars
to Kennewick and the third prize
Of fifteen dollars to Lewitson, has
aroused widespread indignation and
protests are pouring in, not only
from the parties concerned in the
injustice of it but from hundreds of
others who are disinterested persons
but who appreciate the fine points
of grapes and are capable of making
a just comparison of displays, quail
tiles and varieties. The professor
is acknowledged to be an expert
judge of apples and all credit is due
him for his excellence in this re-
spect but. it is greatly to be deplored
that the committee on the selection
of judges should detail man who
does not know one grape from
another, to Judge this fruit. The
Judge himself admitted that he
made a great mistake in giving his
decision as he did and acknowledges
his ignorance of grapes.
1t is now impossible to have the
decision altered but Mr.. Desgranges,
who has the display in charge, says
that it not probable that Kenne.
wick will accept the second prizes
This course will amount to the con-
testing of the decision or at least
proclaiming publicly that the prof.
essor's Judgment is not recognized
as Justice. Mr.. Lee of North Yaki-
ma and Mr.. Schleicher of Lewiston
individual growers, whose displays
won the first and third prizes, con-
graduated Kennewick both before

the Completion of $4,000
Structure

The dedication ceremonies at the
completion of the Masonic Temple
in Pasco, was held by the Grand
Lodge of the State of Washington,
Tuesday night, in the presence of
over two hundred Masons, their
wives and daughters. After the
ceremony a banquet was spread in
the big hall on the lower floor.
Grand Master David S. Prescott, of
Spokane, assisted by o. S. Wagner,
had charge of the rites of the even
ing. The temple, which has just
been completed by the Masonic
lodge of Pasco is, considering the
size Of the town, the finest in the
Northwest, and compares very fa-
vorably with the structures in the
larger cities of the state. The
building is two-story brick, beau
tifully finished and was built at
cost Of $4,000. The lodge room
proper, together with the big din
ing room, reception and anti rooms,
are situated on the upper floor of
the building, the lower being rented
to mercantile firms. The furnish
ings are among the best that can be
obtained in the west.

eight o'clock, with Mr.. Prescott as
master of ceremonies, supported by
Postmaster Moran, OF Pasco lodge,
and acting Master, Rider, were held
around symbolical lodge. The
officers of the Grand Lodge, includ-
ing several members from the Ken
newick lodge, took places in the
form of three triangles and the
Worshipful Master, according to
ancient customs, poured the Corn,
Wine and Oil upon the lodge, dedi-
eating the temple to Freemasonry,
Virtue and Universal Benevolence.
The ceremonies performed were
not unmeaning rites, nor the anus
ing pageant of an idle hour, but
had solemn and instructive i'm
port. The temple was designed
and built by Wisdom, supported
by Strength and adorned by Beauty.
and was first consecrated to the
name Of the great Jehovah. May
their new temple be happy resort
of Piety. Virtue and Benevolence.
Nearly half of those present for
the evening were out of town WIS.,
itors, the larger number coming
from Kennewick. Representatives
from nearly every lodge in Eastern
Washington were present however,
and speaker was chosen from
every town represented to make
afterdinner speeches. Owing to
the lateness of the hour, the Ken
newick contigent were forced to
leave before the local orators, M.
NJ. Moulton and H. H. Cole, were
called upon. and they were excused
in time to catch the late train.

monies of King Apple. There

gram, in which each city OR COM
munity will be expected to have one

ADJUDGED
INSANE
Amund Posse, a Rancher, is Found
Insane and Taken to Warm
Springs.

Amund Fosse, rancher living on
Goulden creek, was adjudged insane
here Monday by an insanity board
composed of NJ. NJ. Klein, chairman
OF the board of county commission
ers, County Attorney O'Neil and
Drs. Welsh and Brissenden. Fossc

charge of Fossc, who had developed
advanced symptoms Of insanity and
was becoming uncomfortable, his
relatives being unable to do any
thing with him. He was brought
to town Saturday evening and con-
fined until Monday when hearing

mania is melancholic and at some
times ravin9.
The insane man is a brother of
+. Fosse, formerly resident of
this city, and is AZ years of age.
Worry over personal troubles in
volying some land deals is given as
the cause OF his madness. The
doctors are of the opinion that his
condition is caused directly by pres
sure on his brain by an abcess
formed in his head, which may be
alleviated by an operation. Ii this
should be the case his mind may be
restored to the normal condition.
