opening of the Third Annual Colum-
bia River Valley Grape Carnival will
be busy ones at Carnival headquart-
ers. The big tent is due to arrive
from Seattle today or tomorrow and
force OF men have been engaged to
erect it Immediately upon its arrival.
The big top" will go up on the
Third street location, between Yak
ina and Tacoma streets, that site on
having been definitely decided upon
at meeting of the committee last
Friday night.
A copy of the premium list was
mailed to every voter in the county
the first of the week and indications
are that the exhibit space in the
big tent will be all taken by the
time the gate opens to the public
next Thursday morning at eight
O'Clock. The management will spare
no effort to have everything in read
iness at that hour and will enforce
the rule that all exhibits must be at
the Carnival grounds Wednesday

O'Clock the next morning.
A liberal space has been set aside
for the Richland exhibit and it is
said that the showing from that

lures of the Carnival. A big dele
cation will come down from that
town on Friday accompanied by the
Richland band.

contests for the prizes offered last
spring promises good exhibit from

more from that number have con-
tinued their efforts throughout the
summer. This year there will be
dresses and other sewing, and pies
and cakes, bread and canned fruit
from the girls who have taken
domestic science in the schools. The

body's Day.
