MAIL SERVICE OCTOBER
Postmistress is Officially Mott
fled that O-W. r.. & N. Trains
are to Carry Mail

Postmistress Eleanor Staser
has received official notification
from the second assistant post
master general that beginning
October 1, mail service will be
started on the O-W. r. & N. rail-
road over the North Yakima
division.
The trains that are to carry
mail are not designated in the
notification but it is thought the
new service will be handled by
the noon east and west trains
between Walla Walla and North
Yakima. Kennewick is already
enjoying excellent mail service
with the larger cities and all
points along the main line of the
N. p. and the S., P. & S. and this
additional service will give much
quicker mail connections with
the towns in the Yakima valley.

Project will Probably Not Suffer
Because of Failure of Rivers
and HarbOrs Bill
4 LUMP APPROPRIATION
is MADE BY SENATE
Twenty Million Dollars to be Expend-
ed on Projects Already Under
Way Throughout Country

Senator Burton, by means Of
his long filibuster, last Monday
succeeded in side tracking the
River and Harbors appropria-
tion bill in the U. S. senate. The
following day a substitute meas
ure carrying a lump appropria-
tion Of $20,O0O,0O0 was passed.
This bill specifies no definite ex-
penditures on any project but
the sum is to be expended on
projects already under way at
the discretion of the war depart
ment.
This means that the $525,00O
needed to complete the Cello
canal IN almost certain to be
available. In the opinion of Sem
ator Chamberlain, Of Oregon,
who was a staunch supporter of
the original bill, none Of the Col
umbia river projects will suffer
materially by the senate's ac-
tion. All of the projects have
received the approval of the U.
S. army engineers and the most
stubborn opponents of the bill
have not raised the cry Of pork
against any of them. Senator
Chamberlain writes that as
soon as the next congress con-
venes another bill will be intro
duced to place the work at the
mouth of the river on a contin-
uing contract basis.
Both Senators Jones and Poln-
dexter, of Washington, were
strong defenders of the original
bill and voted for it to the last.

Exhibit is Largest and Most Complete
of Any on Grounds and Shows
Varied Resources of County

In open competition with the
largest and best developed coun-
ties in the state, Benton county
was yesterday awarded the 1st
prize of $100 for the best coun-
ty exhibit at the State Fair in
North Yakima. The exhibit of
general farm products was gath
cred from all parts of the county
many of the prize-winning ex-
hibits at the Grape Carnival be-
ing included. The exhibit,
which was placed by represen-
tatives from the different COM
munities was assembled and ar
ranged under the supervision of
County Agriculturalist Lee M.
Lampson.
Second prize was awarded to
Pierce and third, to Walla Walla
county, while the display from
Lewis county, which was not en-
tered in the competition was
given most honorable mention.
In reporting the award, the
Yakima Daily Republic says:
'In considering the points of
excellence the following were
noted: Arrangement, grains,
grasses, fruits and vegetables.
Benton county, the winner in
the contest ranked high in all
around excellence. The exhibit
is the largest and most complete
on the ground. 1t is we'll bal
anced in all the above items and
emphasizes two of the great re-
sources of the valley-the grow
ing of corn and livestock and the
fruit industry.
Lewis county, to whom hon
orable mention is made, has a
wonderful exhibit of grains and
grasses. 1t is an exhibit made
for the Panama exposition and
only brought here for display.
1t is lacking in it's vegetable and
fruit exhibits and not entered
to compete in that line, but was
so excellent in its special lines
as to receive the credit given"

New Feature Attracts Attention

Born to the Columbia River

that the livestock department Of
the carnival has made a hit from
the very start and has come to
stay. This feature was q new
one this year and although the
prizes offered were few and in
significant and no classification
of breeds was attempted. local
breeders responded willingly. AS
a result the exhibits for quality,
if not for quantity, were the
equal of those at the larger fairs
Of the state, and attracted fully
as much attention as did the frui:
and vegetable displays.
One Of the interesting features
was the showing of ten 1914 Per.

Hyslop, who judged the exhibit,
as the best lot of colts he had
ever seen. Everyone of the
youngsters was almost a perfect
specimen of clean-limbed, deep
bodied draft animal and their
showing will undoubtedly have a
beneficial influence upon the
horse situation in the county.
Perhaps there is not a finer young
animal in the state than the two
year-old mare exhibited by j. A.
Durnal.
There was also quality in the
hog pens where entries were
much more numerous than in the
cattle division. In the swine de-
partment, C. E. Shelton with his
herd of thoroughbred Duroc Jer-
seys achieved the signal honor Of
making q clean sweep of all the
first prizes.

TRUE CARNIVAL SPIRIT RULES
DURING MARD| GRAS FINALE
Clouds Which Marred Opening Day Are Forgotten
by Masked Merry-makers in Closing Hours
of Saturday Night Carnival Will Just
About Break Even Financially

The clouds and rain which re-
duced the attendance and put a
damper on the opening scenes of
the Fourth Annual Columbia
River Valley Grape Carnival,
were swept aside and entirely
forgotten Saturday night when
formalities were frowned down
and a gay and giddy finale put
the stamp of success upon the
three days. show. For once it
was a carnival in fact as well as
name. Fun ran riot but not
amuck. There was no bolster
BUSINESS, no rowdyism and the
nights frolic, which swayed the
crowd, subsided with the same
spontaneity with which it came.
The streets, as well as the
grounds, were filled with parad-
ing suffragettes, jumping devils,
dancing clowns. capering cops
and a motley procession Of
masked revelers whose antics put
pep" into the large crowd which
gathered to see the finish. Much
credit for the success Of the
Mardi Gras finish is due to Chas.
H. Collins who fathered many of
the best stunts Of the evening.

John Morrison is Killed. at Reed
Ranch in Horse Heaven
Body Brought to Town

John Morrison, farm hand, who
has made his home in this Sec
tion for several years. was drag
ged to death by a horse on the
Reed ranch in Horse Heaven
about five o'clock yesterday eve
ming. The body was brought to
the Mueller undertaking parlors
this afternoon by E. A. Ferrell
and j. S. Decker.
Mr.. Morrison was employed by
Wash. Hettinger, who is farming
the Reed place. The two men
had been working together dur
ing the day and in the evening
Morrison started to water one of
the work horses. Not stopping
to unite the halter rope, he slip
ped it from the hitching post and
then passed the moose around his
wrist. The horse became fright
ened and dragged Morrison to
his death. Mr.. Hettinger, who
witnessed the accident, attempt
ed to rescue the man but in vain.
Little is known of the dead
mans past life or relatives. II
is understood he has a sister liv.
ting at Cherry Vale in the west
ern part of the state. He was
about SO years of age and un.

KILLED BY TRAIN
!. ON THE VISTA HILL
Steve Kinsley, of Toppenish, is
Crushed to Death Under
Freight Friday Night

The mangled and lifeless body
of Steve Kinsley, lying along
side the N. P. railroad tracks a
mile this side of Vista, was the
gruesome reward Of an all-night
search last Friday night Of S.
r. Dix, bosom friend of the dead
man. ~ a,,
Kinsley came to his death un-
der the wheels of N. P. freight
train No. 602. According to the
story told by Dix at an inquest
conducted Saturday morning in
Mueller's undertaking parlors
by Justice C. Staser, the two
men, who live at Toppenish, had
intended to take passenger train
No. a Friday evening for the
fair in Walla Walla. They
missed the passenger and
caught a later freight, Kinsley
boarding the tender of the en-
CINE and Dix a refrigerator car.
At Prosser, Kinsley Joined his
friend in the refrigerator.
Not long afterward, Dix tes-
titled, he fell asleep and was not
awakened until the train whist
led for Kennewick. Kinsley in
the meantime had left the car
and Dix went out on top to
search for him but he was no
where to be found. Thinking
that possibly his friend had re-
turned to the tender, Dix rode
the train on into Pasco, where
he made a fruitless search of the
train and questioned the brake
men who had seen nothing Of
the missing man. Thoroughly
alarmed at the disappearance Of
Kinsley, Dix remained for hours
in the Pasco yards searching
cars and making inquiries of in
coming trainmen from the west.
AS soon as it was daylight he
Eoarded a west-bound freight
and dropped off on the Vista hill
where he soon found the horri-
bly, mangled body of Kinsley. 1t
is the supposition that, upon
hearing the engines whistle,
Kinsley went out on top Of the
refrigerator car to ascertain
what station they were ap-
preaching, lost his footing and
fell under the moving train.
The upper part of the mans
body was terribly mangled but
Identification was easy from pa.
pers found in his pockets. He
was about % years Of age and
unmarried. He had made his
home for several years in and
around Toppenish where he

was the livestock parade which
elected many favorable com.
ments from stockmen and others
interested in the development of
the livestock industry in the
valley.
i The general verdict alike of
,homefolks and visitors, seems
ito be that the carnival was a
success in every particular. The
exhibits, though perhaps not as
effectively displayed as in for
mer years, were, quality and
variety considered, the best yet.
The amusement features were
clean, well managed and gave
general satisfaction. In spite of
the slim attendance the opening
days, the total gate receipts ex-
ceed those of a year ago by
about $500.
AS yet the committee has not
prepared a detailed financial
statement, but Mr.. Lewis, re-
portingsat the Commercial club
luncheon yesterday, said that
not including the expense of
sending the exhibits to the state
fair, the total expenses will ex-
coed the receipts not more than
500. This means that the con-
tributors to the guarantee fund
will be called upon for only q
small percentage of their SUBJ
scriptions in addition to the 25
percent already collected.
