KENNEWICK, WASHINGTON FRIDAY, AUGUST Is, 1913

SAYS ALL'S WELL
Carnival Boss Reports Progress
State Donates $50-Oueen
Committee Named

The third annual Columbia River
Valley Grape Carnival to be held at
Kennewick, September 25, 26 and
u is rapidly gaining momentum.
The slogan, Everybody Helps"
which furnishes the lubricant for
the smoothly-running wheels, is
being generally adopted and justifes
the early prediction that the coming
event will easily surpass all pre-
vious endeavors along this line.
Substantial encouragement is be-
ing daily received from private in
dividuals and business houses
throughout the entire Columbia
River and Yakima Valleys.
We Of this part of the state are
not alone in our desire to let the
public know the productivity of our
soil and climate. The state of
Washington is taking an active in
terest along the same lines and has
offered us through Commissioner of
Agriculture J. II. Perkins dona-
ton of $50 to assist in defraying the
expenses of a general exhibit to be
taken to the State Fair at North
Yakima, Immediately following the
close of our Carnival. We wish
particularly to request all producers
of all kinds and varieties of fruits,
vegetables, grains and grasses of the
Columbia River Valley contiguous
to Kennewick to join US in making
a county exhibit that may bring to
Benton County the honors she so
richly deserves.
The Queen contest has been
placed in the hands of a Queen
committee. consisting of j. O. Skir-
wing, L. H. Marks and G. E. King,
while the Fine Arts and Women e
Work department has been placed
in the able hands of Mrs. J. L.
Johnson, who will appoint hel
assistants in the near future.
One thousand buttons and badges
have been ordered, the receipt oi
which is expected the early part o1
next week and we hope everybody
will make it a point to secure a
button and thereby help boost.
We are particularly indebted to
the various newspapers who have SC
willingly and gratuitously offered
their valued assistance to promote
the success of this institution which
contrary to the narrow opinion of 8
few, is not get-rich.quick enter
prise but rather means of observ'
ing a get-together day when people
of town and country alike may be-
come better acquainted, closer il
touch with the common interests O
the community.

PAST week MARKED
BY SEVERAL ACCIDENTS
Gleichman Family in Runaway-Stock-
man May Lose Eye-Auto Crank
Breaks Boys Arm

What might very easily have been
a very serious accident occurred
Sunday evening when the Gleich-
man family were returning to the
Highlands from town. When op-
posite the buildings on the Nichosen
and Duffy place the team became
frightened and made a lunge, which
loosened part Of the traces, letting
the pole drop down. This still
further frightened the team which
started to run and could not be
brought under control. Seeing that
the team could not be stopped J.
w. jumped from the rig thinking
that he could get 20 the heads of
the horses and so help to get them
stopped. However by the time he
got to the ground they were going
so fast that he was left behind.
They continued up the road half
mile till in from, of the Hess resi-
dence when they veered out of the
road and brought up against fence
post with one horse on each side of
the post and the check rein of one
wrapped around the post in such a
way that the team could go no
further. The boys were both thrown
from the rig but without sustaining
serious injuries. o. F. was cut on
the hand and wrist, six stitches be-
ing necessary to close the wound.
The younger brother was badly
shaken up and bruised about the
legs but no bones were broken.
Mrs. Gleichman was fortunate
enough to stay in the rig but was
very severely shaken up. 1t was a
very fortunate accident in that nc
one sustained more serious injuries
as it might easily have resulted
fatally for one or all the occupants
of the rig.

GOING AFTER STATES
 MONEY WITH A RUSH
S13O,000 Has Been Turned in by Collectors, but Only S1O,00O Is Now on Hand-S75.000 to
 Agricultural Schools.

Little Rock, April l9.-Almost as fast as it has been paid in, has the general revenue fund gone out this week. All but about Sl0,00O on the payment to be made by the collect orS of the state, in observance of the call issued by State Auditor Oath out for financial assistance, has been paid into the state treasury. About Sl30,O00 has been paid in so far, and only sl0OOO today remains in the general revenue fund. The most of the money has been drawn out by persons who have been hold ing for many months warrants drawn for the erection of the buildings at the agricultural schools. About S75,000 went in this manner, and considerable more went to set tie deficiencies at other state insti- tutions. Most of the outstanding warrants are in the hands of banks, and they were the first to get in on the cash, It is doubtful if there will be enough left in the treasury by the end of the month to pay the monthly salaries of state officials and employees.

Fool Killer on Better Roads

Maybe the road question ain't none of my business, but I'll just Hinder away and talk about it any how. Strikes me that every feller who can ride, walk, hop OF crawl ought 10 take some interest in the road question. You don't have to own a thousand dollar gasolne chug wagon with a voice like many thunders and an odm like a tan yard in order to be interested in good roads. If you are princinal stockholder in a yoke of bull calves and'a five dollar wagon loaded with three cuil crossties and mired mn to the top bolster in a mudhole yon ought to cut your bulls loose and ride one of them into town. waving your last years hat and yelling
 Hurrah for good roads" And even II you possess nothing in this world but your mammy'S match hosses and have to go as barefooted as n Shoemaker's wife, there ainI no Use to slop around in the sour mud and get 10000 John Rocky hook worms to boring gimlet holes in your whitleather heels and climb Ing up inside of your legs like m army of Taft Democrats going fo hogheaven.

had to make my living by running foot races with a one-eyed rAuley steer, hanged if I wouldn't want good roads to run on. Dirt is a good thing if 1t is good, clean dirt. and rich enough to grow 'taters and things. But oh! deliver me from mud. l have always hated the stufT and some of my experiences this winter have made me hate if Wussern ever. 1 live ten miles from the railroad, and during all this bad winter there has been iust one mud hole between here and the depot only where the bridges cross. A four-horse team goes straining through the mud with about half as much as yearling cali could pull on a good road. while the fool driver Wades along at one side and whips and cusses. If he had a good macadam or sand-clav road he could take one of his mules and haul four times more than a team now pulls, and do it with four times the ease and satisfaction. The average Wagoner could make more clear money in one day than he now makes in week. But the poor fel- low never thinks about that. If vou mention a tax for building good roads he will put up a pitiful mouth and say "Oh, our taxes are so heavy we just couldn't stand n road tax" And then he will larrup his bone piles and tug on through the mud thinking he has put LID a good argument. He don't realize that he IS losing enough every dav to pay his part of the tax for year, poor fellow.
 Now gentlemen, I ain't vorth much, and the only vehicle that de- bends on me for axle-grease is i halt wornout ground slide. but II am willing and anxious to go my part on good roads any day. Gof no eook sense. but know a good road from a mudhole

LAW IS PLACED
 ABOVE HONESTY
Vice President Says People Are Disgusted. and Unless Conditions Change Will Seize Swollen
 Fortunes for State.

If men of wealth and power consult their consciences they will not have to worry about the law.
 Great fortunes eventually will escheat to the state.
 The tariff monopoly Is the cause of our unrest.
 Why should the government guarantee profits to the manu- facturer.
 Our great fnaucierS are mak- ing the law their guidance in- stead of the Golden Rule.
 If business men do not con- suit their conscience instead of their lawyer. the people will go 10 extremes to remedy the sit- uatiOn.-Fr0m Vice President Marshall'S statement.
