join with us in opposing such legis-

BIGGEST CROWD
EVER JULY 4
Dow City Celebration Good One and
Attended by Largest Crowd Ever
Assembled at That Place.
RABBI MANHEIMER SPEAKER
Horse Races, Ball Game and Athletic
Sports Make PIP Program for
An Interesting Day.

Fourth of July, 1913, is past an(
gone. The weather was a trifle too
warm, but otherwise we had an idea
Gay. AS early. as o'clock people
We're coming into town and by the
town was fairly alive. The West Side
band. consisting of twelve pieces
came in on the morning train and were
soon dispensing the liveliest airs tina
could be desired. On account of the
chautauqua being in progress until the
previous evening everyOne's time was
too much employed to prepare for {
parade. About 10 o'clock, however
all interest was transferred to Logan
park. At II o'clock Rabbi Eugene
Manheimer, Of Des Moines, took the
platform and delivered one of the fin
est addresses ever given in the town
and a large audience gave the closest
attention and regretted that he did
not continue longer. After dinner was
over sports were the order of the day
We regret being unable to secure the
names of the winners in the various
contests. Then came the ball game
between the Ute lads and the DeVoI
Victors of Council Bluffs. Up to the
seventh inning neither side scoerd
and the interest was growing intense
Each side played with an earnestness
akin to life being at stake. Up to
this time no man had passed second
base. In the first half of the eighth
Council Bluffs run in two scores; in
the last half Ute, by good playing
scored one. And thus the score stood
at the end. Both sides played their
best and the committee feels as
though both sides earned their mon
ey Receipts of the game were $1S6
The horse racing was on the new
track and hundreds witnessed the
races. Harold Alexander's horse, Cul
ly, won first money in the horse race
$3.50. Jay Thompson's pony, Riley
took first money, $3.50, in the pony
race. After dark the Triangle Amuse
ment company put on several reels OF
moving pictures at the park, but this
entertainment was discontinued on &C
count of the shower and threatening
storm. The bowery held the atten
ton of the younger set in the after
noon and evening. The children were
generally disappointed in that no mer
ry-gO-round was permitted to come
in. We are informed by those who
make a conservative estimate that
Dow City had the largest crowd they
have ever been permitted to enter
tain. With a beautiful park, plenty
of shade, an abundance of water on
the ground, a good day and but one
other celebration in the county, every
thing tended to work for a large
crowd. All the surrounding towns
were we'll represented. Thus July 4
1913, passes into history and the OBJ
servance of the day here will long be
remembered by those participating in
a real safe and sane celebration.

|CHAUTAUQUA
OFFERINGS GOOD
While Venture Was Not Financially a
Success the Programs Were
All Excellent.
FARMERS. TOO BUSY AT HOME
Not Decided Whether There Will be
Like Entertainment A.
tempted Next Year.

The chautauqua was concluded last
Thursday evening after seven days
program. The venture was not sue
cess financially, but no one person or
set of persons is to blame. The chau-
tauqua offerings were good some OF
them were superior attractions, but
on account of its coming at such an
early date when farmer folks were
SO very busy in the fields, the attend
ance was below what was expected.
The musical attractions, especially
Shaw's boy scout orchestra, Miss Es-
Their Fallein's ladies' orchestra, Tole-
meo's Italian band and the College
quartet were very fine and everyone
enjoyed them. The best lecture came
from Clarence w. Wassem, the first
day, with Edgar Martin Evans on Sun
day a close second. Frank c. Travers
hardly kept up the standard he set
at last years chautauqua. Truman
Joseph Spencer was unable to appear
so a substitute filled his place. The
final day saw the poorest work OF the
whole chautauqua. Taken all in ALL
it was good and it is to be regretted
that more persons could not attend.
We are not informed at this time as
to whether chauauqua will be at
tempted next year or not

S. Z. HENDERSON GETS
STATE APPOINTMENT

Attorney Scott z. Henderson has
been appointed assistant to Attorney
General Tanner and will take up
his residence at Olympia the first of
the month. The appointment came
as much surprise to Mr.. Hender-
son as to his friends, being entirely
unsolicited. Mr.. Henderson, in
association with M. M. Moulton,
has built up a large law practice in
this city since leaving the EDITORS s
chair at the Reporter office four
years ago. His absence will be felt
particularly in the ranks of the Com
mercial Club where he has always
been an ardent worker, serving one
term as president of the organiza-
ton.
The. Courier would wish to join
with Mr.. Henderson's many other
friends in congratulations npon his
success and to wish him well in his
new home.

WANT OPINIONS AS TO
new BERRY CARRIERS
Meeting of Growers Will be Held To-
morrow Afternoon at Commercial
F.. Hall

Tomorrow Saturday. afternoon
at 2::30 at the Commercial Club
room there will be held a meeting
of the strawberry growers of the
valley to find the concensus of opin-
ion as to the dimensions of the new
berry boxes and hallocks.
On June 3Oth. last, the new state
law regarding standard weights and
measures went into effect. This law
makes the use of the old boxes and
hallocks illegal and new size must
be decided upon. The new stand
ard will be set at a meeting of the
Northwestern Box Manufacturers
association in Portland next We'd
nesday, and tomorrow's meeting is
for the purpose of ascertaining the
preference OF the growers of this
district and then to place this infor-
nation before the Portland meeting.
The new berry cup must contain
either full pint 1855 cub. inches)
or full quart (67.2 cub. inches. }
The so-called quart cup which has
been in use heretofore has in reality
contained but about one and one
half pints. It seems to be the
general opinion that the pint cup
should be the one adopted, keeping
the shape as near like the present
cup as possible. The quart cup is
not favored, as it is claimed that the
berries will not ship to a distance
in as good condition in the larger
package. A smaller hallock, hold
ing only one 16-pint tier is also sug-
gested.
All growers and shippers should at
tend tomorrow s meeting and assist in
arriving at some conclusion on this
important question. Manager L.
II. Marks of the local basket factory
will be on hand with samples OF
quart and pint cups of various
shapes. He will also attend the
box manufactures meeting in
Portland next week.

MARRIED

Last Wednesday afternoon at three
O'Clock Miss Nellie Brown and Cur
tis J. Anderson were made man and
wife. Witnessed only by the i'm
mediate relatives of the contracting
parties, Rev. Bird, a relative of the
bride, performed the ceremony
which united the two young lives,
the simple ring service being used.
The bride is the daughter of Geo.
Brown, and has lived in this valley
for the past five or six years. In
that time she has acquired host of
friends, to whom the news of the
wedding came as surprise, but few
of the most intimate friends being
aware of the nearness of the occa-
sion.
Mr.. Anderson, like his wife, has
spent the past few years in Kenne-
wick, and is as well and favorably
known. He. too, has many friends
who join with the Courier in wish
ing him and his bride long, happy
and prosperous life.
After receiving the best wishes OF
the assembled guests, Mr.. and Mrs.
Anderson left on the S.. P. & S. for
Spokane, where they will spend
their honeymoon. Upon their re-
turn they will occupy their house
on Walnut street, where they will
be at home after November fifth.

the middle of the river and the
south boundary lies one mile south
OF Annis' corner.
Though any voter in the county
may sign the petition asking for the
special election, only voters residing
within the proposed port district
are privileged to vote at such elec-
ton. Therefore, in securing the
necessary 400 signers, effort will be
made to get all, or as many as pos
sible, from within the district.
Briefly stated, a port district is
created for the purpose of improving
the harbor and terminal facilities of
a city. It's affairs are governed by
three commissioners and are con-
Quoted much the same as any cor
paration, local improvement dis
tricts within the port district being
formed, under which are assessed
the cost of the various improvement
work done. Before any work can
be done. however, the port COM
missioners must publish an outline
OF the general plan of Improvements
proposed, together with their prob
able cost, and these plans must be
ratified by the voters of the district
at special election.
Kennewick has the best natural
protected harbor on the upper Col
umbia, but it must be evident to
all that our present harbor facilities
will be far from adequate when the
real river traffic begins. The crea-
tion of the port district is the first
step toward making this city the
great inland port that our nat
ural advantages promise, therefore
every resident of the district is or
should be vitality interested in see
ing the plan go through without a
hitch. 1t would be a good plan to
hold a mass meeting and put the
matter up to the voters, in it's en-.
tirety, before the petition is circu-
lated, so that no misunderstanding
as to its purposes may exist.
