FIRST GRAPE HONORS
TO COLUMBIA DISTRICT
ocal Exhibit Of Potatoes Also Best
General Vegetable Prize Lost
Through Misunderstanding

The Columbia Valley exhibit at
the State Fair last week was awarded
frst prize of $40 on general grape
display and six frsts and three Sec
onds on plate displays of tree fruits
and vegetables. Had it not been
for a misunderstanding and the
carelessness or ignorance of the fair
officials, the vegetable section of the
display might have been entered
for the general vegetable competi-
tion and an additional purse of $75
could easily have been won.
The display consisted of gener-
al collection of the blue ribbon win
ners at the Grape Carnival and oc-
'cupied 65-foot space, the Burns
Carnival display being reproduced,
with a 15-foot showing of Richland
vegetables and fruits at either end.
A specially notable winning was
that on potatoes and the fact that
the Kennewick Valley product took
the blue ribbon away from the prize
displays of the Yakima growers, is
affording the local growers no small
degree of satisfaction. Some of the
best of the Columbia Valley exhibit
was taken by the State Fair man.

WILL CONTEST QUAIL LAW

A. N. Woodward, w. F. Chute,
J. E. Doughty, D. w. Alton and
G. C. Alexander, all of Pasco, were
arrested near Richland Wednesday
and brought before Judge Staser,
charged with unlawfully shooting
quail. The arrest was made by
Game Warden Warren Edgar and
Deputy Sheriff Garrett of Richland
upon the advice, it is understood,
of Prosecuting Attorney Boyle. The
accused retained Moulton & Hender-
son as their attorneys and after brief
hearing the case was postponed until
next Thursday at Judge Staser's
Office.
Although the quail in this coun-
ty are popularity supposed to be
protected until 1915. by order of
the commissioners, it is said to be
doubtful whether conviction can
be secured for shooting them, ow-
ing to the hazy and contradictory
amendment to the game laws passed
in 1911.
Nearly all of the quail in this
county have been imported and
planted" here by the commission
ers, and sportsman on this side Of
the river are careful not to molest
them. It seems that Franklin coun-
ty hunters have no such scruples,
however, and their arrest is the re-

TOOK Own LIFE

Mrs. Henry Barr ended her life
at her home in Richland Sunday
morning by taking strychnine. No
reason for the act can be advanced
other than that Mrs. Barr was suf-
fering from dependency caused by
sickness.
Mrs. Barr's maiden name was
Savannah Davidson and she was
fifty-one years of age. Besides her
husband, she leaves one married
daughter, Mrs. George Anderson,
of Richland to mourn her loss.
The body was taken to Elberton,
WASH, Monday where interment
was made.

STEWART & RESER TO CLOSE OUT

The announcement that Stewart
& Reser, Kennewick's largest mer-
camille establishment, had decided
to quit business in Kennewick came
as decided surprise the first of the
week. Mr.. Stewart announces that
difficulties over the adjustment of
his rent, and inability to find suit
able quarters elsewhere in the city,
form his principal reasons for dis
continuing the Kennewick business,
Though his business headquarters
after November 1st will be at Gar
field, Mr.. Stewart will retain his
home in Kennewick in order that
his children may have advantage of
our splendid school system.
