CARNIVAL ONLY
A MONTH away
AS Time Grows Shorter. Commit
tees Work Harder-Splendid
Trophies Offered

Are we going to be ready when
the first day of inspection arrives?
Yes, indeed we are, but glance at
the calendar reveals the fact there
yet remains less than a month in
which to prepare welcome recep-
tion for those who will enter our
gates on the 25th, 26th and 9th of
next month for the purpose of view
ing the Grape Carnival, discussing
better harbor and river accomoda-
tions, planning and putting into ex-
ecution new resolutions for the bet
terment ofSunday school work, and
incidently absorbing the knowledge
and manifold benefits that may be
derived from and through the form
ing of new acquaintance, reviving
old friendships and enjoying the
far-famed hospitality of the citizens
of Kennewick where everybody
helps"
Anticipating, as we do, a un-
usually large attendance this year,
which will be materially strength
ened by the delegates and visitors
of the Columbia and Snake River
Waterways association and the In
land Empire Sunday School asso-
citation, whose conventions are
scheduled for the 25th and 26th re-
spectively, let us be mindful of
the fact that our elastic fund of
goodfellowship and hospitality is
going to be drawn upon most lavish
ly. and that no ones supply may
become depleted, let US begin now
to store up an unlimited quantity
that we may dispense it freely and
without reservation when our play
days arrive.
The Carnival committees are all
doing splendid work. Every de-
partment is working overtime in
earnest endeavor to master the
countless details that rest upon
their willing shoulders.
The ladies' clubs of Kennewick
have come forward with a gratui-
tous offer to construct and main
tain a ladies' rest room in the big
tent which means much for the con-
venience and comfort of the ladies
and children who will visit our fair.
The House Of Kuppenheimer have
contributed a silver trophy in the
form OF beautiful loving cup, to
be offered as reward through the
Kennewick Clothing Co., in whose
window it is now on display.
The O-W. r. & N. Co. have con-
tributed a handsome calendar clock
which will also be won by some
fortunate exhibitor.
The Northern Pacific Railroad
Co., pursuant to their former prac-
tice, have again favored us with the
promise of handsome cup and the
Great Northern Railway have also
expressed their desire to distinguish
our premium list with a like con-
tribution.
Merchants and business men
throughout the city have responded,
without exception, to the invita-
tion to be represented on the prem
ium list, and one of our out of town
neighbors to the north, The Rich
land Nursery Co., have telephoned
in their compliment in the form of a
substantial prize from their nursery
stock.
Numerous exhibitors have been
heard from, but we regret to state
that this particularinformation is vet
somewhat delinquent, which is no
doubt partially accounted for by the
absence OF our premium list, which
we hope to have available for distri-
button by the latter part of next
week, when we hope every resident
OF the county will drop us card
signifying their desire to be the re.
cipient of an official list, which will
be promptly mailed to them upon
receipt of request.
In conclusion let me suggest that
the slogan, every body helps" is
becoming very popular, and as the
time draws near there is plenty of
room and opportunity for every one
to contribute their assistance.
