FRUIT EXPOSITION
is TURNED DOWN
Commercial Club Votes Not to
Participate in Making Ex-
hibit in Seattle

The Commercial club at the
Wednesday luncheon, voted not to
participate in county or district
exhibit at the Pacific Northwest
exposition to be held in Seattle in
November.
The clubs action followed con-
sultation with some Of the largest
apple growers and shippers of the
district. Without exception these
men were of the opinion that little
was to be gained by making an
exhibit this year. The quality of
fruit this year is poor, market con-
ditions are very unsatisfactory and
all in all there is little or nothing
upon which to build enthusiasm for
exploiting the fruit-raising indus
try.
The request that an exhibit be
made was presented to the COM
munity by Mrs. Winnie Braden.
general manager of the exposition.
In company with Horticulturalist
w. P. Brown, Mrs. Braden visited
the community centers of the coun-
ty Wednesday.

FOR MAYOR
Kennewick's Present Elk.
ecutive Candidate for
Reelection

H. w. Desgranges will be can
didate for reelection as Kenne-
wick's mayor. He filed his declar-
alton of candidacy yesterday after
noon after he had been waited upon
by delegation of business men
and property owners who assured
him of their active support in the
event there is contest.
That the offices of clerk and
treasurer will be contested was
assured with the filing of Frank
Bentley for clerk and DIR. d. S.
Brogunier for treasurer. Mr..
Bentley bases his claim to the Of
flee upon his training and exper-
fence in clerical work. He is at
present employed as accountant
for the Columbia Irrigation Dis
trict and can handle the city work
in connection with his present du-
ties. DR.. Brogunier has been a
member of the council for several
years, having held the office Of
councilman at large and council
man from the second ward. Mr..
Bentley and DR.. Brogunier will be
opposed by the present encumbents
C. Staser, clerk and w. G. King,
treasurer. To date Phil G. War
mock is the only candidate for the
office of city attorney.
As usual, seats at the council
table are not very much in demand.
AS yet none Of the retiring coun-
cilmen have filed for reelection.
In fact most, if not all Of them
have announced their intention not
to file. j. w. Vickers, councilman
at large, says he is very certain
he will not be a candidate. Chas.
Haas, first ward councilman, says
he has served more than his time
and refuses to consider another
term. E. L. Baxter, who is serv-
ing from the first ward by ap-
pointment has announced he will
not be a candidate.
The only ward that has candi-
date is the third. j. r. Gardner,
proprietor of Gardner's Nurseries,
has declared his candidacy. 1t is
reported that L. C. Gardner, the
retiring councilman, win not be-
come candidate for reelection.
]. R. Garder's filing does not mean
that it is a case Of keeping the Of
flee in the family. Altho Of the
same name the two men are not
related.
Party politics long ago disap-
peared from city elections. For
years there has been only one tic
ket, the Citizens ticket and to date
all the filings are on this ticket.

DUCK SEASON
OPENS SUNDAY
More Domestic Ducks On
Ponds and River Than
For Years

If the advance dope sheet is "all
korrect" and everything next Sum
day, October 1, will be the biggest
duck day local sportsmen have
known for years. While the
weather gives no promise Of being
duck weather, the fellows who man
the shotguns are not worrying any.
The ducks are already here. Nc
chilly winds are needed to blow
them down from the north. They
have been sticking around since
Matching time waiting to be shot.
County Game Warden Brown re-
ports that there are more domestic
ducks on the ponds and the Sc
questered bends Of the Yakima
river than there have been for
years.
There are no changes this year
in law governing the hunting Of
water fowl. The shooting day is
from 80 minutes before sunrise
until sunset. The duck bag limit
is 20 day and 80 week. The
hunting week begins at midnight
Saturday.
The hours for beginning and
ceasing shooting for the first eight
davs of the season, follows:

CARDIGAN is
GREAT FILM
Picture is Full of Thrills
for Every Patriotic
American Citizen

At the Liberty Theatre Friday
evening the American Legion will
present Cardigan" Americas
first historical romance of the
screen, presenting the struggle for
American independence.
The story was written by Rob-
ert w. Chambers and it tells a ro-
mantle story which threads its way
thru the outset Of the Revolutions
ary War. It visualizes the high
spots of the Revolution and has
been pronounced historically ac-
curate by well known historians.
It is one of the most awe-inspiring
motion pictures ever presented and
was selected for special exhibition
by the American Legion because it
exemplifies the spirit of the Legion
and because it fires point blank
the ideals of real Americanism.
Cardigan" shows the causes
which led up to the Revolution and
displays the great American pa
triots firing the shot that meant
independence. 1t is of the utmost
educational value in addition to
being a picture of intense dramtic
value. 80
The picture will show the never
to-be-forgotton heroes Of this
country. John Hancock, who signed
the Declaration of independence
in such large letters that Geroge III
could read it without glasses, is
pictured, as is Paul Revere, whose
call to arms reused the country.
His daring ride is pictured abound
ing with thrills.
The meetings Of the Minute Men
are pictured and the scenes are
shown where the first battles were
fought. The battles of Lexington
and Concord and the retreat of the
Red Coats from Concord are vivid
ly and historically portrayed.
The picture will spread the spir-
it of Americanism more quickly
and more efficiently than any
other means known and the time
spent in seeing it cannot be more
profitably employed. Every stu
dent in the grade and high school
should see this picture.
In addition to the picture there
will be special musical numbers
by local talent.

Board of Trustees is Con-
sidering Question of
Toll Charges
REGULAR USERS TO
GET REDUCED RATES
r. E. Pratt Chosen to Rep
resent Kennewick on
Trustee Board

The new Benton-Franklin In
tercounty highway bridge will be
put into commission week from
next Saturday morning, October 2,
and one of the long-cherished
dreams of the Kennewick and Pas
co people will have become a real
ity. The steel work of the big
spans has been completed and ra-
pid progress is being made on the
decking and flooring, so that all
that remains to be done are a few
minor finishing touches.
With construction all but COM
pleted the question which now
mostly concerns the stockholders
and the general public is that of
the amount of the tolls. Il is TO
this question that the newly or
ganized board of trustees are
turning their attention. The ten
tative schedule of tariffs as filed
at the time the two counties grant
ed the franchise called for a
charge of rs cents for an auto
mobile and driver and 8 cents for
each passenger. Under this
schedule the crossing charge for
the ordinary touring car would be
approximately $1.00. Charles G.
Huber, builder of the bridge and
holder of the franchise, who was
in the city yesterday and Trustee
r. E. Pratt, are both of the opin-
ion that this charge will be re-
duced by the board.
Mr.. Huber, as well as Mr.. Pratt
points out that in drafting a sched-
ule of tariffs the board will at
tempt to harmonic the interests
of the stockholders and the gem
eral public. An effort will be made
to fix the toll charges high enough
so that the earnings will pay a
reasonable rate Of interest on the
investment. and low enough to be
acceptable to the travelling public.
Several propositions will be con-
sidered by the board at a meeting
to be held in Pasco next week.
Mr.. Pratt will submit a PROPOSE
tion that monthly passes be sold
at $40 each. BY means of subscrip-
tion list which he is having cir
culated in Kennewick and Pasco,
he will undertake to convince the
other members Of the board that
enough of these passes can be sold
to more than defray the expenses
Of collecting the tolls which is es-
timated at 5000 a month. Another
proposition under consideration is
that Of selling communication tickets
which will give reduced tolls to
those who use the bridge regularly.
Another plan that has been dis
cussed some is working agree
ment with Franklin and Walla
Walla counties whereby a COM
bination rate can be made over
the Columbia and Snake river
bridges.
As the time draws near for put
ting the new bridge into commits
sion the question of what is going
to happen to the ferries becomes
an interesting one. 1t is reported
that both the Zimmerman ferry
near Richland and the Hover ferry
expect to continue to operate in
competition with the bridge.
At meeting of the bridge
stockholders in Walla Walla Fri
day of last week John M. Craw-
ford, Allen H. Reynolds and Ben
Grote of Walla Walla and ID. c.
Eaton Of Waitsburg, were re-
elected trustees and r. e. Pratt of
Kennewick, was elected to succeed
E. w. Trenbath. F. w. Grove, Of
Walla Walla and Harry DeMuth,
of Pasco, are hold-over members
