FIRST CRATE OF BERRIES
COMES FROM RlChLAN

Richland growers captured the
honors of the Kennewick valley and
therefore of the state, by bringing
in the first crate of ripe berries on
Monday. The prize of S15 offered
by the Commercial Club was paid
to them, although the berries were
too ripe to be held and used at the
banquet last night, as was the in
tention when the prize offer was
made. The crate was shipped to
Spokane.
The first full cup of ripe berries
to be exhibited in town was brought
in Saturday from the Burns ranch.
The continued cool weather is re-
tarding the ripening of the berries
and but few crates have beer brought
in during the week. Commission
men are quoting them on the mar
ket at IS per crate.

The big department store of Stew
art & Reser changed hands this week
and is now the property of Thomas
Cobb, w. L. Cobb, w. S. Hamilton
and S. G. Miller, of Roseburg and

business in Kennewick and to have
ample resources for the development
of their new property.
Mr.. Stewart still retains his valley
property and will retire for time
to his ranch near Hedges until he
regains better health. Mr.. Reser
plans to 60 to Walla Walla for the
present and eventually to Seattle if
he should find no opening to suit
him at the Garden City.
Stewart & Reser took property at
Roseburg in partial payment for
their merchandise stock. The store
has been closed since Tuesday dur
ing the process of k-taking, but
will be open for business either to-
morrow or Monday with Thomas
Cobb in charge. More details of
the plans of the new proprietors will
appear in the firms announcement

SCHOOL OF HORTICULTURE
TO Be HELD BI-M0NTHLY
Prof. Thornber, Of Lewiston, Will Give
Lectures and Demonstrations Here
Every Fortnight

The fruit growers of Kennewlck
will learn with great pleasure that
arrangements have finally been COM
pleted with Prof. w. S. Thornber,
of the Charleston School of
Horticulture, by which he agrees to
come to Kennewick twice each
month spending two days here on
each trip. 1t is expected that the
arrangement will be continued at
least till October first. His work
will be in charge of committees
from the Highlands Improvement
Club and the Kennewick CONNER
cial Club, and will consist of illus
trated lectures, field demonstrations,
personal visitation of orchards and
advice as to their care, and in gen.
eral anything that will help the
fruit growers to gain the best re-
turns from their work.
Prof. Thornber makes his first
visit to Kennewick next week, Fri
day and Saturday, May % and "a.
Detailed arrangements as to the
course of lectures, etc., cannot be
made until the committee has an
opportunity to consult him further,
but we may say that for the present
one-half day, at least, of each visit
will be given to orchard visitation,
one-half day to consultation by any
who wish, at some place to be des-
ignated later, and an afternoon or
evening to an illustrated lecture.
The lecture next week will prob
ably be on the topic, The Building
of Community time and place
to be announced later. A special
committee consisting of Messrs.
Dawson, Hess and Stanley Fyfe has
been appointed to work with the
president of the Highlands Improve
ment Club in arranging the timer
ary of Prof. Thornber. They will
work in connection with the COM
mittee of the Commercial Club,
Messrs. Bartlett, Pratt and Glad
ding, in the arrangement of all de-
tails.
The expense incident to this work
is heavy but it is provided by those
who desire the fruit growers of this
section the greatest success possible
and who are willing to further that
end by providing the means by
which they may have the very best
expert advice.

ENLARGE PLANS
FOR JUICE PLANT
M. H. Church Returns from East
With Designs for 300 Ton
Factory

M. H. Church returned Saturday
night from months business trip
through the east where he ordered
machinery and supplies for his
grape juice factory which he will in
stall during the summer. Mr..
Church had figured upon a plant
with capacity of about 100 tons of
grapes, but since being in the east
he has enlarged upon his original
ideas and has had plans prepared
for a 300ton outfit which will be
housed in an addition which will be
built on the north side of the fac
tory this summer and will represent
an outlay of from $4,000 to $20,-
900.
On his trip Mr.. Church visited
the big grape growing districts Of
Michigan and New York where he
inquired closely into vineyard costs,
profits and prices paid by the big
grape juice plants. He says that
the vineyardist in the Kennewick
valley can rely upon raising with
ordi nary care at least twice the ton
mage that can be produced in the
east. Five tons of grapes can easily
be averaged from an acre in this
section, while two and one half tons
is the average in the New York
vineyards. The average cost of
farming an acre of vineyardland
back there is $37, and the gross in
come is from $50 to $50 per acre,
the grapes selling to the juice plants
at from $40 to $35 per ton. Only
in exceptional years do the growers
net higher returns from the open
market than. they do by selling
direct to the grape juice manufac-
urers.
Mr.. Church hopes to interest local
land owners to the extent that sew
eral large tracts will be set to Wor-
den and Concord grapes this season.
Averill Beavers has already put out
a large acreage and expects to great
ly increase his vineyards next year.
For the present season the local
factory will have to import the bulk
of the grapes used, and Mr.. Church
plans to take a trip through the
upper Yakima valley at once to line
up his seasons supply.
The growing of the Concord and
Worden varieties for factory use
should prove a sure and profitable
crop in this section, with net re-
turns of from $50 to SIS an acre.

SEVENTY DINE ON
STRAWBERRIES
Commercial Club Banquet to Cel-
brate First Berries is Enjoy
able Affair

Members of the Commercial Club,
their wives and friends, to the num-
Der of seventy, participated in the
banquet held at the Hotel Kenne-
wick last night in celebration of
the ripening of the first strawberries.
There were nine members of the
Richland club in attendance, be-
sides several other out = of town
guests.
The affair was planned several
weeks ago and the details of ar
rangement were put in the hands of
the clubs entertainment committee
who are to be complimented on the
thorough success of the banquet.
Much credit is also due Mr.. and
Mrs. Claussen and the hotel force
for their excellent service. An en-
joyable feature of the evening was
the very excellent music furnished
by the Orpheus Trio, Misses Bur-
lingame, Staser, and Mr.. Brog, and
the club wishes most heartily to
thank the musicians for their kind
ness in. contributing their services.
L. E. Johnson, president of the
club, was the capable POSTMASTER
and short talks were made by S. q.
Henderson, A. G. Kamm, Of the O.
w. R. & N; M. M. Moulton, F. A.
Howes and A. M. Lausch of Rich
land, E. M. Sly, Mrs. A. B. Ely,
H. M. Bartlett and H. w. Des-
oranges.
Particular mention may be made
of the remarks of H. w. Desgranges
who called attention to the credit
which should be paid the growers of
Richland for the manner in which
they have co-operated this year
with the Kennewick growers in per-
fecting a marketing system for their
berries. The speaker said it was to
be regretted that all of the Kenne-
wick growers had not shown the
same spirit in joining together for
the good of all. He said everyone
was glad that Richland had carried
off the prize for bringing in the
first crate, and that their enter
prise had brought the hsnors to
them honestly and fairly.
Toastmaster Johnson's remarks
concerning the new plan for carry
ing on the Grape Carnival are
worthy of special mention and
were well received. He said he be-
lieves that abandoning the Carnival
would have been a grave mistake
and that under the plan now pro-
posed of organizing an Independent
committee to operate Kennewick's
annual show, the affair should and
will receive the city's hearty sup
port and be greater success even
than in former years.

SHALL We HOLD
GRAPE CARNIVAL
Question to Be Settled by Business
Men through Joint Committee
from the Three Clubs

Will there be Grape Carnival
held in Kennewick this fall? That
is the question the business men
will be called upon to answer for
themselves during the next week or
two when they are visited by joint
committee from the Commercial
Club, the Business Mems Associa.
ton and the Highlands Improve
ment club.
AS nearly everyone knows, the
Carnivals Of 1911 and 1912 were
the work of the publicity committee
of the Commercial Club, and, par
ticularly last year, the task assumed
such proportions that, when bourne
by two or three men, it made bur-
den which none were willing to as
sumo again this year. And no one
who has had taste Of such work
can blame them in the least. Put
ting through successfully a show the
size of the Carnival of 1912 takes
more weeks of real hard work than
can be reasonably expected from a
small committee, donating their
time for the good of the city. It
is rather work which should be
borne by a broad committee and
headed by paid manager.
The problem was thoroughly dis
cussed at last Tuesday nights Com
mercial Club meeting and it seemed
to be, the general opinion that there
is sincere desire throughout the
city h a t the Carnival be not
dropped. A committee consisting
of Desgranges, Henderson and Hoyt
was named to meet with committees
from the Business Mems Associa-
ton and the Highlands Improve
ment Club. This joint committee
first will ascertain the public opin-
ion as to whether or not the Carni-
val should be held this year and
whether it should be continued
along the same lines as last year or
broadened in scope of exhibits.
If assurance is had that the Car
nival will receive the hearty support
of all the business people Carnival
committee Or association will be
formed, separate and apart from
any Of the present organizations.
It is probable that, should this as
sociation be formed, it will be in
corporated and the Carnival opera
ted along business lines.
The secretary of the Commercial
Club was instructed to communi-
cate with the other organizations.
asking their cooperation in the
movement, and requesting that an
early date be set for a meeting of
the joint committee. As it is al

most certainty that the business
men generally are in favor of con-
tinuing the annual show and as no
difficulty is expected in getting the
cooperation of the three organiza-
tions, the prospects for a bigger,
better Carnival for 1918 appear very
bright.

many people want to build something
different" They feel that the ordi-

and good enough for Smith or Jones
and entirely comfortable and satisfac-
tory so long as one is renting, is hard
ly the desirable thing when n comes
to build a home for oneself. This feel

not for n moment want to seem to
advocate the extreme and outlandish
styles which often pass for originality,
still a variety is necessary; and orig
inality, or rather individuality, if prop
erly directed, develops some good
ideas in house design.
A well designed house costs no more
to build than the plain, ordinary look
ing affairs that are often put up; in
fact, they are apt to cost a good bit
less, since the well designed house is
built from complete architects draw
ings and specifications. Then there
are the other kind which are put up
by the carpenter who plans as he goes
along and is never quite sure just how
the house is to look when finished.
