MAKE BOOSTERS OF
THE SCHOOL MA'AMS

Secretary Gardner of the Com
mercial Club acted as host to the
schoolma'ams last Saturday, in an
effort to make boosters of them for
the Kennewick valley. He took
them over the Highlands, where
they were gorged on watermelon
and fruits of all kinds. The idea
was to get the teachers to write to
their home papers in the east ex-
planning the wonders of this coun-
try. AS several of the teachers are
spending their first terms with us
they really had but the sayso of the
local people for the wonders that
are being done on our sagebrush
land. The ride was for the pur-
pose of opening their eyes-a nd
it did. Well hear from those
letters shortly.

COM|nG TO STUDY
PLANT DISEASES
DR.. Humphrey, Plant PathOlogist. Will
Visit Valley to Examine Tomato
and Grape Blishts

F. E. DeSellem, district horti-
cultural inspector, who is always on
the job, sends us the following letter
which is self explanatory, and
should be of interest to ranchers
who have found difficulty in raising
tomatoes in this valley. DR.. Hum
phrey is sent out by the govern
ment to make a study of general
conditions, and the people Of this
valley are fortunate that he is able
to come here. That the pathologist
may need to waste no time while
here, Mr.. DeSellem urges that the
ranchers report any cases they may
wish looked into, to him or Mr..
Storland in advance of DR.. Hum
phrey's arrival.

BAND IS MAKING
GREAT PROGRESS
Prof. kimbaIl Doing Good Work with
OrganizatiOn-Memb
on Increase

Not little of the enjoyment OF
the Carnival is due to the work OF
the Commercial Club Band which
played concert at the Tabernacle
last night following the coronation
OF Queen Tokay / and which will
entertain the visitors again tonight
Immediately following the street
pageant.
There were fifteen musicians in
the parade and on the concert plat
form last night, almost double the
Instrumentation which turned out
to the fisrt practice following Prof.
kimball's arrival to take charge.
While the organization is very much
in the rough, the vast improvement
which Prof. Kimball has already
accomplished, shows what an able
instructor may develop from the
rather mediocre material he had to
start work upon.
The band boys are finding the
Tuesday aud Thursday night prac-
tice real2pleasure to look forward
to. In addition to the the certain
ty that each meeting will add to
their knowledge of music, there is
satisfaction in the realization that
the band as body is going ahead
rapidly.
'The best band in the Yakima
Valley" is the slogan for this year
and next season they are going to
change it to THE best band in the
Inland Empire. There is no rea-
son why they should not make these
slogans come true. They have an
instructor of great ability and if he
is supported by the band boys and
the citizens as he should be, Ken
newick will have band in the field
another season that will be compet-
ent to go out and play in any COM
pany.

WORK IS BEGUN
ON BIG DITCH
100000 Acres to be Watered
in klickitat and Benton
Counties

Now that active work has COM
menced on the Klickitat Irrigation
& Power Company's canal to irri-
gate the Horse Heaven country in
Klickitat and Benton counties, one
of the largest projects of the kind
in the Northwest has been
launched" said H. A. Smith, prom
inent rancher of Southern Benton
County, recently to a representative
of the Portland Oregonian.
Mr.. Smith owns a section of land
in the Horse Heaven country which
will come under the ditch. He has
lived on his wheat ranch for the
past 20 years. With water he says
that country will produce abundant
crops. The soil is volcanic ash ex-
tending to a depth of so feet and
contains everlasting qualities.
The management of the project
announces that sufficient money has
been secured from English capital
lists to insure the completion of the
canal within three years at cost
aggregating SIS, 100000.
The main canal will be 1872 miles
in length, water to be taken at the
head streams of the big Klickitat
River. Enormous reservoirs are to
be built to contain $50, 900 acre-feet
of water and to otherwise conserve
the water to provide 10000 acre
feet. One of the storage reservoirs
will be 26 feet in height and 675
feet long. Over 200 miles of laterals
will be built, 100 miles of distribut-
ing laterals will be necessary to put
all the 800, 900 acres under water.
There will be nearly five miles of
tunnels, one of which will be 13, 900
feet long.
1t is estimated that the lands will
support a population of $50, 900 and
will add 100000 to the valuation
of the state. While eastern Kick
itat County will derive gaeat bene-
fit from the canal, the acreage to be
covered with water will be the great
est in Benton County. Southeast
ern Yakima County comes in for
good share of lands to be irrigated
by the same project.
Advice from Goldendale is to the
effect that a crew of men recently
left that point for the Cedar Valley
country to establish locations for
camps, where tunnel work is to be-
gin soon. L. M. Rice, of Seattle,
is chief engineer of the Klickitat
Irrigation & Power Company.

The first day of Kennewick' 8
First Annual Grape Carnival has
passed into history and the promo
moters and committees who have
had the arrangements in charge are
patting themselves and each other
on the back in their satisfaction at
the amazing success of their venture.
When foreman McKain and his
force of carpenters started in last
Monday and cleared out the fittings
in the tabernacle, the committee
in charge of the exhibits began to
wonder where they were going to
get the stuff to cover the baroness
of the big, barnlike structure, but
by Wednesday night they had be-
gun to scratch their heads and try
to figure out where to place the
loads upon loads and tons upon tons
of grapes and vegetables that con-
tinued to pour in.
But they finally did find a place
for everything, though what room
there is left for the crowds to move
around in is rather limited. Every
thing had been entered, placed and
labeled, promptly upon schedule
time, at one O'Clock yesterday after
noon, and the big show was on.
And such a show! No use in
trying to describe it on paper. Just
get out and see it this afternoon
and evening if it's the last thing
you ever do. If you have had any
lingering suspicion that Louis Hill
was "joshing' when he said that
Kennewick grapes were the finest
in the world, see the Carnival ex-
hibit. and you will certainly agree
that Louis knew whereof he spoke.
But it isn't all Kennewick, by a
long ways. White Bluffs, Hanford,
Alfalfa and Richland have their
booths well filled with their choicest
products and all make a fine show
ing. We are glad to have them
with us and are grateful that our
sister towns came in so handsomely
and have helped to make the Car
nival the big success that it is.
The White Bluffs exhibit is es-
pecially notable and much credit
should be given J. F. Bonn and
his helpers for the splendid show
ing they have made in the face Of
difficulties of transportation and
other drawbacks. The exhibit con-
sists of 40 boxes Of grapes, COM
mercial pack, two crates of fine
second crop strawberries and dis
play of vegetables.
Another notable display is that
of the Kennewick Orchard Co., ar
ranged by resident manager, C. F.
Schenk. This exhibit covers nearly
all of one end of the hall, being
made up of plate and box displays
with background of loaded vines
taken bodily from the vineyard.
In D. J. Beinhart's booth, he
has cleverly worked out a banked
design with red, white and blue
grapes, embodying the wording
"O.-W. R. & NJ, &c. n" and
the IN. P.'' trademark, with the
open river flowing below.
Lack of space forbids detailed
description of the many other fine
individual showings, among which
are those of O. w. Rich, c. E. Cox
P. f. Mors, l. Smith, and Myers
& Wieland. F. J. Spohn of Rich
land and w. H. Allison, Of Kenne-
wick, have notable displays of veg
etables and the Richland Nursery
Co., is represented by beautiful
