LIVELY INTEREST IN
LOCAL COMPETITION
Sections Seven, Eight and Nine, the
Highlands and River Road to be
Contenders for $4,000 Prize

Inc OUTSIDE 0lSCr1cC winch
carries off the $4,000 cash prize
at the Grape Carnival this year
will have won something more
than the cash. Competition is
going to be of the keenest sort
and winning will mean field and
orchard superiority in the Col
umbia valley from White Bluffs
to Hermiston.
This year brings forth two
entirely new contenders for the
first honors, Hermiston and At
talia. Both towns have notified
Manager Lewis that they are
coming and good live men in
both communities are now busy
assembling the choicest display
fruits. The advent Of these
two districts has stimulated a
greater interest among the
growers up and down the valley
who are determined to hold the
honors on this side of the river.
White Bluffs, Hanford, Richland
and Finley will all be in the run
ming with creditable displays.
Competition will also be keen
in the Kennewick district con-
test. Exhibits in this class are
now assured from Section Seven
Section 8 and 8, the Highlands
and the River Road and it is
probable that the Garden Tracts
may also get into the game. The
Section Seven exhibit will be in
charge of Mrs. Thos. Holiday
and Mrs. w. r. Crawford. l..
S. Grassland and G. Puderbaugh
are busy with plans for bringing
Sections 8 and 9 to the front.
The River Road exhibit will be
assembled and arranged by ]. F.
Perry, assisted by d. j. Bein-
hart, while JOS. Hess, r. HI.
Nicholson and A. Lehnhard will
have charge of the Highlands
department.
The fruits and vegetables will
again be judged by Prof. w. S.
Thornber, of Lewiston and Prof.
Hislop, head of the animal hus-
bandry department of w. S. G.
will judge the stock. In accept
ing the invitation to come to
Kennewick, Prof. Hislop notified
the carnival committee that for
-Nthe benefit of the high school
agricultural classes he will give
demonstrations and reasons for
placing stock as he does.
AS the livestock department
is an entirely new feature the
committee is rather in the dark
as to what preparations to make
and asks that all exhibitors
will make their requests for
pens and stalls early so that am
pie accommodations may be pro-
vided. AS an added stimulus in
this department the Hamilton
Supply company is offering
prizes for the three best 1914
colts from the Percheron stall
lion Elwood; first prize, So cash,
second $3.50 cash and third a
sack of Martins Best flour.
1t is the intention of the COM
is1ittee to make the amusement
features just a little better than

SHOULD BOMBARD CONGRESS
WITH BROADS|DE OF LETTERS
National Rivers Harbors Congress Makes Appeal
are Interested in Keeping Improvement Work Going
Personal Communications Will Get the Results

Although legislation made
necessary by the European war
has taken the stage in congress,
friends of the rivers and har-
bors bill have not given up hope
of securing favorable action on
the measure before adjourn
ment is taken. Individuals and
organizations in nearly every
section of the country are bend
ing their efforts to break the
filibuster which is holding up
the bill.
The Courier-Reporter receiv-
ed today from the headquarters
of the National Rivers & Har-
bors congress at Washington, D.
c., the following appeal:
every friend of waterways
should fully realize the fact that
the 1914 river and harbor bill
will not be out Of danger until it
has actually become a law. Re
spending to an inquiry from
Senator Penrose, Senator Kern,
leader Of the senate majority,
recently said:
"'Mr. President, in answer to
the Senator from Pennsylvania,
/ will say that it was announced
some time ago authoritatively
and correctly that the majority
had determined that the river
and harbor bill should be dis
posed of before the adjourn
ment of the present session.
There has been no change in
that determination
"You will note that the agree
ment was not that the bill
should be passed, but that it
should be disposed of, which is
a very different matter. It is
very evident that the group of
senators who have been con-
Quoting the filbuster against the
bill intend to continue their op-
position. And in private con-
versation Senator Kern strongly
emphasized the statement that
has already been repeatedly
made from this Office, viz:
'"The passage of the River
and harbor bill depends abso-
lutely upon the maintenance of
a quorum in the senate and the
house.
"Do not make the mistake of
supposing that the house has
nothing more to do with the
matter. Many amendments
have been made to the bill as
passed by the house, which
makes it necessary that the bill,
when passed by the senate shall
be sent to conference, and the
report of the conference COM
mittee must receive an affirma-
tive vote, both in the house and
senate, before the bill will be fl
nally passed.
WEAKNESS from the almost
continuous sessions during the
past two years, the near ap-
proach Of the fall campaign, and
many other reasons make it en-
tirely natural that senators and
members should be anxious to
leave Washington as soon as the
trust bills and emergency legis-
lation made necessary by the
war in Europe shall be dis
posed off. Nothing but the
pressure of public opinion will
insure the maintenance of a
quorum until the river and har-
Dor bill is passed. That pres
sure must be exerted and the
quorum maintained, for the
failure of the bill would be no
thing short of national disas-
ter.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1914-08-27

'The disaster does not lie
wholly in the future has al
ready begun. Since 1910 it has
been the avowed policy of the
government to pass a river and
harbor bill every year, and army
engineers contractors and ev-
cry one concerned with river
and harbor work has acted ac-
cordingly. Already, thousands
of men have been thrown out of
employment and millions of dol
lars worth of costly equipment,
belonging both to contractors
and the government, is rusting
in idleness. In some cases no
funds are available for Office ex-
penses or the payment of watch
men to prevent the boats and
dredges from being swept away
by storms and floods.
Every day of delay in the
passage of the bill will add to
the idle equipment and to the
thousands of men thrown out of
employment, and if the bill is
defeated the disaster will be
complete. And it must be re-
membered that the contractors
and workmen directly engaged
in river and harbor work are not
the only ones who will be af-
fected. Those who furnish the
iron, steel, lumber, cement and
other supplies used in river and
harbor work, and the workmen
employed by them, will also suf-
fer. Water transportation lines
cannot operate because channel
improvements are not COM
pleted and mines cannot be op-
Grated because they cannot Sc
cure transportation. Worse
than all else, there are thou
sands of people who might have
been made secure, who will live
in dread of the coming Of the
time of floods, knowing that de-
struction of their property is
certain and that they may even
lose their lives.
"Thus far those who have
conducted the filibuster have
made only general charges in
stead of specific criticisms.
They, and certain newspapers
and periodicals which have ap-
proved their course, seem to
want not to eliminate the OBJ
jectionable items but to defeat
the bill as a whole. 1t should be
remembered that it is ten times
as easy to defeat a bill at the
short session of congress as at
the long session. If the bill of
1914 is defeated, there is little
hope for one next year.
Petitions, memorials and res
olutions adopted by commercial
organizations are all effective
means of influencing senators
and representatives, but the
most effective method is a food
of genuinely personal letters
and kilograms from their c'n-
stituents. Duplicated letters
and kilograms in identical lang
uage will not answer fact,
do harm rather than good but
no member of either the house
or the senate will fail to heed
hundreds or thousands of letters
and kilograms which are eviden-
ly written by those whose
names are signed thereto.
"You are earnestly requested
to give publicity to this appeal
and to urge your readers to
write to the senators and repre-
sentatives from your state, ask
ing that they pledge themselves

John Panton is closing out all the
Tinware, all the Graniteware, all the
Hardware, all the Woodenware and
Housefurnishing business. This is not
because the Housefurnishing business
isn't a good business.
1t is because John wants to develop
the Dry Goods business and Women's
Garment business.
And the money now invested in
Housewares, Sadirons, Wringers, Hav-
Hand China and all the ct ceteras, can
be put to better use. So everything has
been marked down.
If you have any use for Tea ket-
tie or a Frying Pan, or a set of Havil-
and, or Cut Glass, or Rugs, or Carpets,
or if you ever WiiI have any use for them,
now is the time to get them.
In spite of the fact that merchan-
disc everywhere is going up, at John
Panton's it is going down-awful fast.
We have put red figures on everything
in these departments.
On the Fourth Floor you can buy
all kinds of Rugs and Floor Coverings
for less than cost to make.
In the basement you can buy all
kinds of China and Housewares for one
third, one-fourth and one-half less, and
in some cases less than one-half price.
1t 10 almost impossible to quote any
price tonight, for the simple reason that
things are selling too fast. The crowd
on Wednesday was bigger than the
crowd on Tuesday. And in spite of the
fact that we have thirty extra sales
people, we are utterly unable to cope
with the situation.
You can wait on yourself, az a
good many women do, for everything is
plainly marked, and no matter what
you buy, you are bound to save money.
Please remember that we will not
deliver small purchases. This rule Is
imperative. We cannot sell Pie Tins for
q penny apiece and then send them to
Ballard or South Seattle. These little
things, please take with you. Big pur-
chases will be delivered at our conven-
fence. Don't get impatient if your bum
die doesn't come a. soon as you think it
ought to come. Remember the delivery
men are swamped.
And whatever you do, keep good
natured. Don't be like a woman who
yesterday rang up and said she had to
have her package delivered right away.
She said she wanted it, for she was Civ
ing party. The salesman said: "What
was it, madame, you bought?" And
she said, "A garbage can"
