The country fair held in the Con-
gregational church parlors last Fri-
day evening, under the auspices Of
the Ladies' Aid was the best little
fair ever. The fruit and vegetables
were most wonderful to behold, as
were some of the stunts pulled off by
the crowd. M. J. Leak and M. M.
Moulton were "there" as barkers and
got the crowd going. DR.. Rhynsburg-
er and his performing caterpillars
were great. Misses Ruby Slaugen-
haupt and Ethel Tompkins made
charming gypsy fortune tellers. Geo.
Tweedt was fetching as a vender OF
the toothsome dainty "hot-dog sand
wiches." The Yankee Doodle kitchen
was certainly great, as was the mix
ed quartet" Mrs. Rose, Mrs. Rhyns-
burger, Mrs. Tweedt and Mrs. Baker.
A special feature, too, was Chas. d
Collins with his instructive moving
~ pictures. There were many more
splendid features, and all for the sum
of a penny each.

Farmers Will Be Invited to Assist in
Raking Stones in Return for
Past Favors

Believing that one of the best
community undertakings of the
year was last Springs Good
Roads Day, when the holes were
filled and the rocks raked out of
the country roads, the CONNER
cial club has decided to again de-
clare a holiday and give the
streets of the city the "once ov-
er" with shovels and rakes. The
date set for this event is Friday,
November 20 when it will be ex-
pected that all business will be
suspended and everybody turn
out for work on the streets. Ar
rangements for the day are I'M
the hands of the good roads COM
mittee of the club, of which DIR.
F. M. Crosby is chairman.
Last Spring the business men
lshut up.shop and joined with the
farmers in raking the country
roads for several miles around
the city. At that time many of
the farmers expressed a willing
ness to return the favor at some
later date by bringing their
teams into town to assist in
clearing the streets of the loose
stone. They will now be given
an opportunity to make good
this promise and general invi-
tation will be extended to the
farmers to assist in the work a
week from Friday. The good
roads committee expect to ar
range so that free lunch will be
s rved all country workers who
re-pond to the call.
The working hours, the re-
porting places and other details
will be announced next week. In
fact there are but few details,
other than that. every man.

bile. a Ford or walks, is expected
to get the rake out of the wood

LAROLLETTE IS A
kENNEW|CK CALLER
Congressman Mingles with the
People After Election In
stead of Before

Congressman VIM. L. LaFol-
lette, who was reelected from
this district by a big majority,
spent several hours in Kenne-
wick Monday. Congressman La
Toilette did not return from
Washington in time to get over
his district before election and
he is now visiting the different
towns for the purpose of ascer-
tainging the views of his con-
stituents before returning to
Washington the latter part of
this month.
The congressman expressed
extreme satisfaction but no sur
prise at the substantial gains of
the republicans in the fall cleo
tions. He said the gains indi-
Gated the sure return of the re-
publican party to power in 1916.
He said that the session of con-
gress just closed was not only
the longest one in history but
that it was one Of the most ex-
travagant ones. The business
session, he said, could have been
closed up several months ago
had the democrats been able to
agree among themselves. "The
long-drawn-out session was not
due to the filibustering minority
but to the wrangling of the
three factions of the majority, "
said Congressman LaFollette. 81
for one am glad the democrats
have had control of congress.
They can't go before the people
two years hence and point to the
things they would have done
had they not been hampered by
majority opposition in the SEN
ate or the house. They have had
a free hand and they are once
more demonstrating that pros
perity and democratic policies
are not kin folks"

the third ward where Gilcrist's
lead over Behrmann was only
fourteen votes.
Mayor Richardson carried all
three wards and defeated G..

Undoubtedly the biggest sur
prise of the day was the decisive
majority given Chas. Haas for

votes but his opponent ran away

of the city.

Richland's Largest Business
House is Totally Destroyed
by Flames
FIRE Is DISCOVERED AT
EARLY MORNING HOUR
Building and Merchandise Stocks are
Left in Complete Ruins-Other
Buildings are Damaged

The Richland Trading COM
pany's store, the largest mercan-
tile establishment in Richland,
was totally destroyed by fire
early Wednesday morning. The
origin of the fire is unknown and
the flames had made such head
way before they were discovered
that all efforts to save any Of
the stock were futile.
The fire was first discovered
by M. D. O'Connell who lives
next door to the store. Mr.. o.
Connell was awakened about 4
o'clock by the smothering clouds
of smoke which filled his room.
He at once summoned the assis-
tance of Mr.. Wheelhouse who
lives nearby and the two men
forced the front door Of the
store but they were unable to
enter because of the, dense
smoke.
A strong wind was blowing at
the time and the bank and the
Horn Rapids Irrigation COM
pany's building across the street
was in grave danger. The
flames did not spread but the
windows in the Irrigation COM
pany's Office were broken by the
heat.
The total fire loss, including
the building, which was owned
by outside people, is estimated.
at $4,000 which is only partial
ly covered by insurance. Man
ager Yedica, of the Trading COM
pany, has not yet definitely de-
cided upon the future plans of
the company but it is probable
that they will Immediately re-
stock another store.
The fire originated inside of
the building and it is thought
that it must have been started
from the short circuiting of the
wires, as the wires of both the
Richland and Kennewick tele-
phone lines and the electric light
company are close together
where they enter the building.
