The poultry show which is being
held in the warehouse of the Yakima
Produce Co. is now in full swing. all
the exhibits having been put in place
last evening. Judge Purvis said last
evening that the quality of the birds
on exhibition was as good as at any
of the six shows in Oregon, Idaho
and Washington that he has judged
this season. He remarked that from
a cursory examination of the birds ne
thought the scores at this show would
compare very favorably with those
made at most of the shows in the east
and that the Yakima county had no
reason to be ashamed of the fowls it
was able to produce.
Local Birds Good as Best.
Since coming west Mr.. Purvis has
seen large number of the represen-
Ntative poultry plants of the coast and
he thinks the birds brought out at
the show here prove that the fanciers
who are exhibiting here would have
a very good chance to win anywhere.
He thinks the people of the Yakima
valley have a great opportunity to

that country has, no advantages that
may not be found here. He very nat
urally did not care to express his opin-
ion of the individual fowls upon which
he is to pass judgment preferring to
wait until he could examine them in
detail. He was greatly pleased with
the show and hoped the people OF
North Yakima would appreciate the
fact that this is probably the greatest
quality show ever held here. He es-
tmated the value of the birds in the
rooms at something like $4,000, which
was not bad guess as some of the
fowls are worth 800.
He added that among the fowls
on exhibition there are several which
have carried off the first honors at
other shows and some Orpinstons
which come directly from the yards
of the originators of this breed, which
were bought at a long price. The
display of White Wyandottes and
White Plymouth Rocks is large. Some
great Buff Cochins are also in line
and a large number of Rhode Is

was a greater number Of breeds IN

Willard f. Kelly.

Willard F. Kelly, pioneer Of the
northwest, was killed by a Northern
Pacific train, about a mile north of
this city, sometime Thursday night
or Friday morning. The body. which
had been severed above the hips by
the train, was discovered about z
clock Friday morning by workmen
on their way to Selah. 1t was frozen.
Mr.. Kelly was for over a quarter
of a century a resident Of Tacoma
where he was a photographer. Some
time ago he purchased a tract OF
land at Sunnyside, which he sold q
short time ago and at the time of
his death was planning a trip to
Twin Falls, Idaho, to purchase land
there He had been in this city q
few days and was in i'll health. c.
D. Hessey of this city had known Mr..
Kelly for a great many years. ever
since the childhood of the North
Yakima man, and had been in close
touch with him here. In fact he had
taken him to DR.. Helton but day
or two ago to be examined as to his
physical condition.
According to Mr.. Hessey the man
was strickly temperance in belief and
practice and possessed Of excellent
friends. Several years ago he went
to Alaska and remained there for
four years, going to Black Diamond
on his return and living there Tor a
year or so as photographer. The
only surviving member Of his family
is son, Claude, now in Fairbanks,
Alaska.

Has it ever occurred to you as a

no pride of ancestry or hope of flu
ture distinction? There is; dead

then go to it.
We propose to establish somewhere
along one of Snake Rivers source Of

with a capital stock of $1,000, 900,
divided into shares of par value of
81 each. We will begin to do bust

will place in our hands 100000 cats

H. j. BICKNELL DEAD AT n.
Pioneer of Yakima Valley Who
Came Round the Horn to
California When a Boy.

Henry ]. Bicknell, one Of Yakima
county's oldest and most, respected
pioneers, died at his home on South
Sixth street Saturday evening at 1880
o'clock. Mr.. Bieknell was stricken
with paralysis four years ago and
never entirely recovered from the at
tack. For a year or two he was able
to attend to his affairs but other
attacks followed and for months past
he has been without the use of the
organs of speech.
Mr.. Bicknell was born in New
England in 1884, being n years Of
age at the time of his death. When
a lad of 10 summers, he embarked
for San Francisco on merchant
vessel and made the trip around the
horn, arriving there in 1853. After
a number of years residence in Cali
fornia, Mr.. Bicknell emigrated north
and reached the Yakima valley in
1881, purchasing a ranch in Parker
Bottom.
Entered Fruit Industry.
Even at this early day, consio-
cradle interest in horticulture was
evinced in the Yakima valley aud
Mr.. Bicknell was among the first to
,espouse this industry. He further

there will be special train from Cald-

The spirit in which the Caldwell

source of admiration and pleasure to
the committee and the Nampa peo-
pie at large. 1t is done with a recipro-
cal feeling that displays a sentiment
