GOOD CROWDS, FINE
DISPLAYS At FESTIVAL
crccess of Richards Annual
show Exceeds Expectations
of the Promoters


The Richland festival is over to-
che wear 1915 and it certainly PROVED
- he success far exceeding the ex
..ctations of the most earnest boost
srs. Not only from an educational
advertising and amusement stand
ro;nt IS this fact, but from none
lsrv as we'll. All the home people
..,rned out in full force both days anc
~ Friday, the big day, large crowds
s..r Kennewick and Pasco were II
..tendance, and all expressed them
s.,ves as more than surprised at the
s.one of the exhibition and the able
manner in which the same was ar
ranged. There wasn't single hitch
n anything from start to finish and
= Is to be hoped that the festival
rlans for next year will soon begin to
t.ta form so that all the people in
.he district will have ample time to
rrenare for the show and have the
rsrv best they are capable of produc-
=. on hand for exhibition purposes.
The prize-winning apple display,
comprising so boxes, grown and pack
"a by Harry Miller, was one Of the
features Of the exhibit. The apples
we're all perfect specimens of their
various varieties and gave everyone
n attendance good idea of the fu-
ture Of the Richland district as far as
the apple industry is concerned.
r. McGhan, with twenty-five box
ample display came in for second prize
and his exhibit was great credit to
him and the valley.
The prize-winning general display
entered by A. E. Granlund probably
caused more comment than any other
feature Of the show. One could see
here anything from home made soap
to cheese, and in all possibly 40 to
80 different things grown on the Gran
lund ranch were on exhibition. It is
seldom that such showing can be
made and both Mr.. and Mrs. Granlund
are to be congratulated on their abil-
ity to produce practically their entire
living of their ranch in the prolific
Richland district.
The domestic science exhibition was
certainly an eye opener to everyone.
As one lady was heard to remark 81
had no dsa there was as much fancy
work IN the entire Columbia River
Valley, let alone our little corner"
Il was beautiful display and great
credit must Be given to Mrs. G. d.
Hopper and Mrs. C. s. Teachout who,
IN conjunction with many other ladies
Of the community, were untiring in
their efforts to make their department
one Of the best and most complete in
the entire exhibition.
The stock entries were poor COM
pared to what might have been
shown as there is really some very
good dairy and other live stock in
"a: district. However, next year this
part OF the affair can be worked up
and made more nearly representative
q what is really to be found in the
valley.
Inc amusement features all proved
to be winners, Richland winning the
tug-of-war from Fruitvale and also
the baseball game from Kennewick.
Inc races were good of their respec-
tive kinds and caused great deal of
friendly rivalry.
All the prize-winning stuff was TAX
en- from Richland to Kennewick Mon
cay to &c used as Richland exhibit
~ the Kennewick carnival. From
!aere part of it will probably be taken
20 Ncrth Yakima and later to Spo-
kane.
