The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1919-09-11

II greatest event of it's kind in the north
west, held last week at Spokane, rais
ed the constantly growing attend
ancc record of recent years by sewers
thousands. With the exception of
rain Thursday evening the weathc
was ideal and at such times as it wa
somewhat inclement it failed to di
minish the ardor of the fair-goers. Tn
exhibits in the agricultural and liv
stick departments were above the us
ual standard, and the auto show wa
a whole fair in itself. The poultr,
exhibit broke all records, both in mum
Der of fowl exhibited and in the quail
ity of exhibits. Visitors who were no
familiar with the agricultural and liv,
stock possibilities of the Inland En-
pire were given a revelation that will
not soon be forgotten, and the fail
management announces itself as be
ing more than pleased with the ex
Icellent showing made.

John Brewer, of Rosalia, had the un-
usual experience of having two rear
tires on his car blow out at the same
time, while going down hill. The
accident rendered the car uncontroll-
able, and it plunged over steep en-
bankment, turned over three times,
smashing thestop and windshield to
pieces. Two other people were in the
car with Mr. Brewer at the time, and
all escaped without the slightest in
jury, which they consider little short
of miraculous.
William C. Kipp, who died recently
in Spokane, had carried one life in
surance policy for half century. The
policy was what is called a 10-pay life.
consequently Mr.. Kipp had paid moth
ing on it for 40 years. 1t is believed
that this is, or was, the oldest life in
surance policy in the Northwest, ac-
cording to agents, who ought to know.
: Under date of September 8, Gov
ernor Hart suspended the proclama-
toin, issued a week earlier, forbidding
all hunting in the eastern counties of
Washington because of the danger of
fires being stared by hunters. Gem
eral rains, which have fallen thruout |
this section of the state have alle-jat-
ed the condition S which made the pro-
hiLition of hunting necessary in the
first place. Hereafter hunters will be
permitted to hunt all they please, SUBJ
ject to the state and local game laws.
