EVERYBODY
WILL EXHIBIT.
Live Interest Manifested in Com
ing Grape Carnival
Read the Rules


fruit growers were present last Sat-
urday afternoon to confer with the
Grape Carnival committee in re-
gard to space for display atthe COM
ing carnival, Sept. 19, 20 and 21.
While a more general attendance
had been expected, the committee
heard very encouraging reports from
the growers present, all of whom
we're of the opinion that nearly every
rancher in the valley is making plans
for an exhibit of some kind.
None of those present were pre-
pared at this time to say how much
space their exhibits would require,
50 it was decided to wait until Aug
ust 18th before attempting to collect
this data. At that date the season
will be far enough advanced so that
the growers can estimate with some
certainty what they will have in the
way 81 exhibits, and on, or abont
that time representatives of the car
nival committee will go through
the valley and try to interview every
grower. The committee asks that
each grower bear this in mind so
that when the exhibit committee
visits him on August 18th, he may
be able to give them a close esti-
mate as to what he will bring to
the carnival.
The floor space at this years car
nival will be $4,000 square feet,
which is practically five times the
size Of last years show. This will
give the exhibitors much better fa-
cilities for arrangement and display
and at the same time furnish ade-
quate room for the movement of the
crowds and also seating arrange
ments for the afternoon lectures
which will again be made feature
this year.
Invitations have been sent to the
commercial organizations Of Seattle,
Tacoma, Spokane and Portland to
arrange their tours of the state this
fall so that they may visit Kenne-
wick during the week of the carni-
val. The Spokane Chamber of Com.
merce has already accepted the in
vltation with the statement that
they would surely bear in mind the
carnival dates when making up the
itinerary of their tour this fall.
About fur. fifths of the $500
guarantee fund has been subscribed
and the balance will undoubted be
made up during the next few days.
We publish below the rules gov
ernlng exhibits as prepared by the
executive committee at their meet
Ing on Thursday of last week:
