GOOD SPORT

Wednesday, the opening of the
duck season, was sad day for the
birds, hundreds of them falling be-
tore the guns of a small army of
hunters who were at the feeding
grounds at daylight. The best
shooting was found among the
ponds in the upper Richland dis
taict and many limit" bags of
twenty birds are said to have been
made on the first day.
Fishermen also report fine sport
IN trolling for salmon in the Colum-
bla Just outside the mouth of the
Yakima. A half dozen boats took
about sixty fish weighing from six
to twelve pounds last Sunday.
Miss Helen Carpenter left this morn
ing for Danville, WASH, where she will
teach school during the coming year.

RETURNING FROM CARNIVAL
FINDS HOUSE IN FLAMES
Brown Home Saved by Narrow Mar
sin-Clodfelter Home Burslarized

The Carnival of last week was the
occasion of two rather unpleasant
surprises. Upon returning from a
pleasant evenings entertainment
H. w. Brown. who lives east of
town found his home in flames. H.
D. Clodfelter, when he returned to
his home in the hills found his home
had been burglarized in his absence.
The fire at the Brown home pre-
sumablv started from lamp ex-
ploding, and that the loss was con-
fined to so small an amount was
due to the timely arrival and quick
work of the Browns. Before leav-
ing for the big tent lamp was
placed on a sewing machine in the
front room. In some manner a
spark was evidently left on the wick
after the light was extinguished and
this caused the lamp to explode.
The machine upon which the
lamp was placed was burned to a
cinder. A big hole around the win
dow was burned and about half the
contents of the room. Even with a
start that good, Mr.. Brown was able
to put it out. Only rare combin-
alton of events could have prevented
the house and contents from a COM
plete loss. AS it was, the insurance
company paid the Browns SIP for
their loss.
At the Clodfelter home thieves
got away with an Elgin watch, a
chain, ring, 25-20 rifle and re-
volver. The loss totaled in the
neighborhood of thirty dollars. The
police are busy in an effort to ap-
prehend the thieves.

SCHOOL TAX LEVY
TO Be DISCUSSED
Patrons Of District No. II Invited to
Meet with Board Next Monday
Afternoon

On Monday afternoon next, Oct.
9th, at the high school building,
there will be meeting of the school
board to hear complaints, if any
there be, against the proposed tax
levy to meet the estimated expenses
of the district for the coming year.
The board requests and urges all
taxpayers interested in the schools
to be present at this meeting mot
necessarily for the purpose Of max
ing remonstrance, but for a gen.
eral discussion of school affairs.
The schedule of estimated ex-
penses for the year, printed else
where in this paper. calls for $685.
O95. of which it is proposed to raise
1866 by taxation, the balance to
come from the county and state
funds. The levy will be about IL
mills.
In spite of the heavy expense to
which the district is put in the
operation of the school buses, the
average cost per scholar per year is
very much lower in this district than
in the larger cities and at least $40
lower than the average prevailing in
other districts in this county. The
average cost per student last year
was $55 or a trife over IS per
month.

MUST FILE FOR CITY
PRIMARY THIS WEEK
Six Candidates Want Jobs-Few Voters
Have Regiaered-Books Open
Three Weeks Longer

There will he no scratching around
at the last minute to find candidates
for city Offices this year, from the
present outlook. The time to file
is drawing to a close, however, and
to be entitled to official sanction the
filings must all be made by Satur-
night.
Six good men and true have
yielded with more or less grace and
have made their filings already.
And one or two more will have put
up their names before the books
close Saturday night. Six, at least,
have offered the old excuse: 80
many of my friends have been at
me to file for the Office that have
finally yielded. OF course it will
mean a sacrifice on my part. but
they seem to think nothing else
would do.'
Well, howsoever that may be,
there are six good candidates who
have already agreed to be martys to
the public good. Councilmen Hunt
ington and Sercombe have filed for
another term, and Jos. Olbrich has
announced his intention of run
ming for councilman from the third
ward.
Mayor Kolb has heard the call
and will ask to have the honors of
the mayors Office conferred upon
him again. Holcomb wants his Job
for another year, too. But City
Clerk Engineer Wright don't care
for another year of it. No one, so
far has asked for that job, but there
is some talk of Herb Shanafelt in
that capacity. 1t costs ten dollars
to file for that job. An equal
amount must be paid for the treas
urer's position. George Tweedt has
filed for treasurer, and J. L. John
son hasn't yet, but thinks he will
before the books close
There will undoubtedly be more
candidates before the close as it
would hardly be right to let these
men get through the primaries with
out any opposition.
Up to the present writing there
are twenty-six people entitled to
vote at the primaries. And the
first ward has just half of'that num-
Der registered. Eight men and five
women in the first ward have full.
filled the legal requirements so far.
In the second ward but one woman
has registered and six men, while
in the third ward, there is one
woman and but five men entitled to
assert their sovereign rights.
The registration books will be
open every day for the next three
weeks, and if you desire to have q
voice in the selection of your city
officials for the coming year, you
must make that trip to the clerk 's
Office. Better set aside an afternoon
and register.

GRAPES Win AT
NORTH YAKIMA
Kennewick Again Honored at the
State Fair---Benton gets Third
in County Display

For the third successive year Ken
n.w;ck has taken first honors at the
State Fair for the best display of
grapes, the judges having awarded
this district the first prize of $40
Yesterday. In duplicating the sue
cesses Of 1911 and 1912 this district
has again proved that it is the ban
ner grape producing section of the
state. Competition this year was
keen, the decision having rested for
some time between the Kennewick
display and that of William Lee of
Mob Hill who won second prize of
s25.
Among the twenty-five counties
competing for the three prize ban
ners offered for the best, most COM
plete and most artistic exhibit,
Benton county took third prize with
a score 1889 out of a possible 1000.
Klickitat county was first with 914
and Spokane county second with
SAG.
The Benton county display at
tracted much attention, it being one
of the largest exhibits at the fair.
The Republic describes itas follows:
'The Benton county display,
which looked like a winner, occu-
pied, with the Kennewick display
of grapes, an entire side and the two
ends of a 6O-foot section in the
southeast corner of the Horticultural
building. Grapes were a big feature
Of the entire display, big baskets of
the luscious fruit occupying the
center of the side section. In front
are trays of apples and canned and
plate apples and other fruits, while
apples in trays occupy each side OF
the center. The east end of the
long center space is occupied by
boxes of grapes and plated pears
and peaches, while the west end is
taken up by apples in trays, veg
etables and melons in trays, and by
squashes and pumpkins. The east
end section is occupied by the Ken
newick grape display, which won
first prize on this fruit. Nothing
but grapes is in sight, great punches
of Concords being used to form a
huge Liberty Bell the crack in
which is made with the white
Sweetwaters. The west end section
is occupied by young porker,
dressed for market and surrounded
by the grains and vegetables which
helped to give him succulence.
Lee M. Lampson, agricultural ad-
visor, returned from theState Fair this
morning where he acted as Judge OF
grains, grasses and school gardens.
Mr.. Lampson says that Benton did
well in taking third honors in the
county competition, considering the
short space of time in which the ex-
hibit was collected and arranged.
In his opinion this county can sweep
the board next year if systematic
effort is made to collect the best
products grown here and more time
Is given to arranging the exhibit in
an artistic manner

Three entries, in addition to the
list given above, had to be rejected
for being outside the age limit of 6
to Al months, and one baby, who
will probably be a contortionist
when he grows up, squirmed SO that
his measurements could not be
taken.
