GRAPE CARNIVAL
LAID ON SHELF
FOR THIS YEAR
Commercial Club Decides to Let
Annual Event Slumber for
A Season
TO BACK SCHOOL EXHIBITS
Lack of Interest Among the Farmers
Chills Enthusiasm of the
Local Business Men

The Columbia River Valley Grape
Carnival, which for the last five years
has been a fixed institution in Kenne-
wick's community life, has been put
on the retired list. 1t was tucked safe
ly away on the shelf Tuesday evening
when without a dissenting vote the
Commercial club voted to drop the
carnival for this year, and to actively
support the boys and girls industrial
contests in the schools.
The principal reason for dropping
the carnival is the belief that the
small interest shown by the farmers
in making exhibits does not justify
the expenditure necessary to put it
thru. President F. M. Crosby, who was
chairman of last years carnival COM
mittee, said the lack of interest among
the farmers was disheartening. His
committee made frequent trips up and
down the valley last year but could not
arouse sufficient interest to make the
exhibit features success.
The products shown in the different
departments were Of excellent quality
but in most of the classes there were
only one or two entries. He insisted
that if the carnival We're to be success
fully continued some means of enthus-
ing the farmers would have to be
adopted.
Prof. M, s. Lewis, who was carnival
manager two years ago, questioned
the possibility of financing the carni-
val except by subscription. Queen
contests, which for four years We're
relied upon as substantial revenue
producers, were too dead to be re-
vived, he said, and Badger Canyon.
which brought in the money last year
would probably be a failure if at
tempted again this year. Unless some
new money-raising stunt could be de-
vised, it would be necessary for the
business men to dig up at least $4,000.
Others thought the annual event
should be remodelled into county
fair and the name "Grape Carnival"
dropped as nobody seemed to be en-
thusiastic in favor of continuing it.
County Agriculturalist Lee M. Lamp
son and Horticulturalist Luke Powell
defended the educational value of the
carnival, but thought it unfair to ask
the business men to finance it unless
the farmers organizations would get
back of it and guarantee the exhibits.
At the request of Principal VIM.
Meikle, Of the high school and Supt.
Lewis, the club voted to back up the
schools industrial work and asked Mr..
Meikle to submit an estimate of his re-
quirements at the club luncheon next
week.

BUSINESS MEN SEE
THE GAS WELL
Excursion to Rattlesnake Spout
er Conducted by Promoters
of Yakima Company

. Chaperoned by C. A. Day, F. L.
Runions and P. E. Hall, Jr., of the
Yakima Natural Gas and Oil COM
pany, party of thirty Kennewick
business and professional men visited
the gas wells in the Rattlesnake dis
trict north of Benton City, Sunday.
The trip was made by automobile and
certain minor hardships Of the jour
ney were forgotten in the delights Of
hot coffee boiled on a gas burner at
the well side.
Altho the we'll on the holdings of
the Conservative Land company, of
Spokane has been spouting gas since
1912, it has occasioned only casual in
terest among the people of Kennewick
and this was the first visit to the well
for most of Sundays excursionists.
Not only did every member of the par
ty return thoroly convinced that the
well is actually gas producer but en-
Unused over the possibilities promised
by the development of the field.
The Rattlesnake well was drilled in
July 1912, and flowed continuously for
18 months, at which time it was cap
ped. 1t has daily flow of 100000
cubic feet, with a pressure of nearly
200 pounds. The we'll is 706 feet deep
and has never been shot. The Yaki-
ma company has acquired adjacent
holdings and are drilling well about
four miles distant in which depth of
about 45O feet has been reached. A
working agreement has been entered
into with the Conservative Land COM
pany and plans outlined for develop
ing the field.
AS soon as the gas flow is struck
in the new well it is planned to shoot
both wells to increase the flow to fur
nish fuel for drilling a test well for
oil at a depth of at least $500 feet
According to promoters of the Yakima
company who rely upon reports OF
geologists and experts, there is every
indication that large body OF para
fine-base oil underlies the gas.

LOCAL BROOM CORN
OF GOOD QUALITY
Manufacturers Say There is a
Market for the Kind of Fibre
Grown in This Valley

Thru the efforts of B. E. Russell, of
the Columbia Valley Broom Factory,
several farmers were induced to raise
small patches of broom corn last year.
The results were so satisfactory as to
lead Mr.. Russell to believe that broom
corn growing here offers possibilities
beyond supplying the local factory.
He recently sent sample of the local
corn to Fan Brothers, the largest
broom manufacturers on the Coast.
and received the following reply:
"Your letter of March End received.
Sample of corn also received. In re-
ply beg to say that this is fair corn
and would be worth about $125 per
ton East. It is of course not the
choicest, but is of good fibre. The
color is a little off but altogether
would say that there would be no
trouble in disposing of this grade of
corn on the Coast.
eff this corn was cured under cover,
or what. is called shed cured it
would improve the color materially"
In speaking of the broom corn ven
ture Mr.. Russell said: "There was
quite bit of broom corn raised here
last year from the best seed we could
secure from the East. The corn was
of the dwarf variety and of good
oualitv. II will WELD from 800 to 1000
pounds to the acre with very little
irrigation, as too much water is in
furious to the corn. In fact it will
make fairly good crop without irri-
cation. Seed has been saved from the
corn grown last year and we would
like for more of the farmers to give it
a trial this year. This seed can be Sc
cured either at The Produce company
or at our factory at cost of about
80 cents per acre.

have been making for several days.
Numerous complaints that blind pig
was in operation in the city have been
made to the officers who started out
the first of the week to round up all
available evidence. The search ended
last night in a raid on the Yakima
Cafe, where 81 pints of beer, five or
six gallons Of mixture, apparently
wine and whiskey, and quart of Peb-
bleford whiskey, were found. The Ii
quor is now in possession of Chief
Copeland and will be destroyed as
provided in the ordinance.

WIRES STOLEN WITH
JUICE TURNED ON
Poles of Pacific Power & Light
Company Raided by Clever
Copper Thieves

In Justice Staser's court this after
noon Joseph Dean was placed under
bond to appear before the superior
court on a charge of grand larceny
for the alleged theft of copper wire
from the poles of the Pacific Power &
Light company. Dean, who is wan
dering laborer out of job, was ar
rested in Pasco Monday just after
he had sold about rs pounds of copper
wire to secondhand dealer.
At the preliminary hearing this af-
ternoon he testified that he had found
some of the wire in the river at Wal
lula and the other in rubbish heaps
around Pasco. AS the wire CORES
ponds in size and weight to that stolen
from the company's lines Satur-
day night it was judged the circum-
stances sufficiently incriminating to
hold the man on a grand larceny
charge.
In the last few weeks the p. p. &
l.. company has had more than 800
pounds of wire stolen from their lines
in and near this city. The poles to
the docks, to w. A. Smalley's home,
to E. II. Harsha's ranch and part
of the main line to Finley have been
stripped of wires. That the theft is
the work of experienced linemen there
is no doubt as some Of the wires have
been cut while carrying currents Of
$500 and 23O0 volts. Manager G. D.
Longmuir and the officers are con-
vinced that no one man has done the
job alone and believe that one or more
of the thieves are still at liberty.
The high price Of copper renders
wire stealing a very profitable diver
sion. The wire such as Dean sold is
worth 33 cents pound new and about
21 cents second hand, but he received
only 10 cents a pound from the Pasco
dealer.

Sales Force of Spokane Fruit
Growers Company Engaged
by the Union
SEVERAL PLANS CONSIDERED
prouosition Submitted by p. r. Parks
is Accepted After Careful
DeliberatiOn

-"
Fruit Growers Company, of which p.
r. Parks is general manager and Mr..
Blot, sales manager, is to be employed
bv the Kennewick- -Richland Marketing
Union to market the 1916 strawberry
crop. This decision was arrived at at a
meeting of the board of directors in
Richland, which started early yester-
day evening and lasted until two
o'clock this morning.
Engaging the Spokane men does not
mean that the local union will be in
any manner connected with the Spo-
kane Fruit Growers company. The
sales force of the Spokane company is
not busy during the Kennewick straw
berry season and they will become the
employees of the Kennewick-R -Richland
Union during that period. The ber-
RES will be marketed as a Kennewick-
Richland product. The men in charge
will establish their offices here and all
funds will be handled and all payments
made thru the local banks, and the en-
tire operations will at all times be
under the personal supervision of the
board Of directors.
Mr.. Parks submitted three PROPOSE
tions to the Union and it will not be
definitely decided which of the three
will be accepted until next week. The
choice lies between one of the two fol-
lowing propositions: First-Mr. Parks
and his associates are to do the en-
tire marketing, including inspection
and loading, are to pay all charges in
cidental to selling, including broker
age, to make all collections, guarantee
all accounts, and make settlements di-
rect to the individual grower, for a
charge of Is cents per crate. The
second proposition differs from the
first only that Mr.. Parks accepts the
berries on board cars, leaving inspec-
ton and loading to the Union.
The directors voted in favor of Mr..
Parks proposition only after the clos
est Investigation and most careful
consideration Of every phase of the
several marketing plans submitted.
The board was in session all afternoon
and until midnight Monday night to
consider propositions made by Mr..
Parks, by VIM. Sieg, of the Hood Riv-
er Apple Growers association, by
Chas. Ryan, of Ryan & Newton and by
Lloyd Garetson, of the Pacific Fruit &
Produce company. Last night in Rich
land they heard the offer of VIM.
White, who represents the Nash, the
c. H. Robinson and the White Bros. &
Crum interests.
At the request of several OF the
growers the board is reconsidering its
ruling on grade and pack and has
named ]. R. Gardner, M. N. Hudnall
and F. A. Friermood committee to
investigate the question and report at
next meeting. 1t is probable that the
rules will be modified to provide only
one grade which will include all per-
feet berries from six by six size up.
