Although is was necessary to un-
dertake Kennewick's campaign for

BOHEMIAN SEES
". WAREHOUSE
Comes Great Distance to
Study Methods of Hand
ling Apples

That Kennewick's Cold Storage
Plant is attracting the attention OF
people at great distances is evident
people at great ditances is evidenced
by the visit of Lumir Sladex, special
representative of the government OF
Bohemia, who spent last Sunday here
and closely inspected the Big "Y'
plant.
Bohemia produces many apples and
good apples according to Mr.. SladeS
but they are not wise to the method
of handling them. Attracted by the
reputation of the Yakima Valley his
government has sent him here to
study our methods Of handling apples
and especially the feature of refriger-
alton. He marveled at the way apples
are handled here. In his country ap.
pies are handled in sacks or in bulk
and decay very quickly. With view
of extending the period over which
apples may go into consumption hs
is sent here to study new methods.

and the Kittitas has 10000 acres.
Although it has been announced
that funds for the continuance OF
work on one of the valley projects
have been included in the 1924 bud
get, the exact sum and the project
to be undertaken first will not be
known for many months, probably
not before next spring. 1t is the plan
of, the department to have arrange
ments made SO that as soon as the

D. w. Davis Coming To In
spect Kennewick Unit Of
Yakima Project

M. M. Moulton, secretary of the
Kennewick Irrigation district, re-
ceived notice today that D. w. Davis
u. S.. Commissioner Of reclamation,
will be in Kennewick September 19
for the purpose of making trip over
the Kennewick Unit of the Yakima
project and otherwise investigating
the local project.
Commissioners Davis left Washing
ton last week for a tour Of inspec-
ton of the reclamation projects OF
the West. He is accompanied by Chief
Engineer F. E. Weymouth and other
reclamation officials.
According to the Yakima Republic,
recommendations to the department
of the interior as to which Of the four
proposed Yakima valley high line pro-
jects should be completed first will
be made by a special board Of three
federal reclamation engineers, due to
arrive here on or near October 15.
The trio of federal engineers will re-
main in the valley several days and
will secure every available bit of in
formation concerning the projects.
In addition to the gathering of sta
tistical data regarding the merit OF
the projects, hearings will also be
held.
"Those concerned in each of the
individual projects are naturally in
terested that their particular project
should be the next to receive federal
aid. The local office feels that each
of the projects is Of merit and that
it behooves all interested to support
the one that may be selected as most
logical, and not try to get any one
project rushed ahead of another. We
are only sorry that they all cannot
be finished at once," the reclamation
manager states.
Mr.. Lytel could not announce the
personnel of the engineering party
nor the exact date of its arrival, but
said he was confident the trio would
be here about the middle Of October
1t is expected that the hearings con-
Quoted by the engineers while here
will be of great interest, due to the
desire Of different sections to push
their project.
The Yakima high line project, be
ing nearest to Yakima, is of mos
interest to the Yakima residents. TIL,

Committee Urges Farmers
to Bring in More Pro-
duce For Exhibit
TO SELECT BEST TO
TAKE TO STATE FAIR
Badger Canyon to Furnish
Fun Instead of Travel
ing Carnival

The gates of Kennewick's 1923 Fair
will swing open at one o'clock Fri
day afternoon and from that time un-
til late Saturday night Queen Pomona
/ III will reign.
As a result of days work MEM
bers of the general committee as
sisted by a crew Of volunteer work.
ers the streets, the parkings and the
vacant lots at Third and Yakima,
have taken on the aspects Of a regu-
lar fair grounds. The general exhibits
stands have been placed in the mid
die of Yakima street with community
display booths and advertising con-
cessions on either side. Farther out
Yakima will be the pens for the live
stock and poultry exhibits.
Off to one side of the open air
dancing pavilion space has been pro-
vided for Badger Canyon which is
coming back to Kennewick after an
absence of eight years. At the old
Grape Carnivals, Badger Canyon
proved immensely popular and the
one this year is to have all the trim
mings Of those of the good old days.
All the canyon attractions will be op-
Grated by men working under the di-
rection Of the Fair committee. The
old canyon was revived at the elev-
enth hour because Of the failure of
a professional street show to keep
its engagement here. The dancing
pavilion will be operated as one of the
Canyon attractions.
To the east of Badger Canyon
Harry Owens has laid out and fenced
a Wild West arena, grandstand and
Everything. Here he and his cowboys
will stage their Rodeo show which
promises to be one of the big attrac-
tions of the two days. Owing to the
Limited space it will be impossible
pull off the races here. These win be
run each afternoon on the baseball
grounds near the Washington school.
One Of the committees chief wor-
ries is to secure enough exhibits to
fill the stands. There is an abundance
of nearly every kind of farm produce
this year but farmers say they are
too busy to doll up their stuff and
bring it to the fair. The committee
this morning sent out an S. o. s.
call urging farmers to bring in their
products, no matter what, even
though they haven't time to dress it
for exhibition. What the committee
mostly wants is something to exhibit.
They will do the dressing up They
are especially desirous Of filling up
the exhibit stands because from the
products assembled here, selections
will be made for the Benton County
display at the State Fair in Yakima
next week. So you farmers bring in
your biggest and your best. Bring it
any time Friday, the earlier the bet
ter. There will be somebody at the
lgrounds to receive it.
Friday afternoon is to be school
children's day at the fair. The child
ren will be admitted free of charge
to the grounds and no charge viii
be made for the races at the, ball
Igrounds. For the convenience of the
country children the school busses will
mot leave town until $3.50 in the after
noon.

wick Merchants Life
FUNERAL HELD IN
PORTLAND MONDAY
Was Active Worker in Busi-
ness, Civic and Commu-
nifty Affairs Here

George w. Sherk, proprietor of
Sherk's Department Store of this
city, died in the La Grande, Oregon,
hospital Saturday forenoon as result
of injuries received when his car was
crowded off the highway, Wednesday
of last week.
Funeral services were conducted
Monday forenoon at 10 o'clock in the
Finley Mortuary Parlors in Portland.
Interment was in the Riverside ceme-
terry where his oldest son, who died
in 1906 is buried. The ritualistic SER
vices of the Masonic order were con-
Quoted at the grave-side.
From the first, the La Grande
physicians held out but little hope for
Mr.. Sherk's recovery. Although he
showed remarkable vitality for one
Of his years, his battle for life was
against overwhelming odds. In his
forehead above the right eye there was
an eggshell fracture two inches in
diameter. From this, a lesser frac-
tnre extended over the crown and
down the back of the head. In addition
to the head injuries his lower jaw
and collar bone were fractured. Fol
lowing an operation Thursday when
the crushed bone was removed from
the larger skull fracture he made a
surprising rally but did not regain
consciousness.
In the death of Mr.. Sherk, Kenne-
wick loses one of it's leading business
men, prominent citizen, and kind
ly and generally loved man. His
genial nature which even in trying
periods of business depression never
deserted him, won for him many loyal
and steadfast friends.
During his residence in Kennewick
he took deep and active interest in
civic and community affairs. He
served two terms as mayor being
elected both times without opposition
He served also as president of the
Commercial Club and was for years
one of it's directors. He had been
. member os the Masonic order fol
more than forty years and took ar
active part in the affairs of the Ken
newick lodge. He had also been q
member of the I. o. o. F. fol
forty years but had never transfer
red his membership from his home
lodge in Michigan.
Mr.. Sherk spent practically all OF
his mature life in the retail mer-
chantile business. He was born near
London, Ontario, Canada, August a
1852 and had only recently celebrated
his list birthday. When a young mar
he came to the United States and en-
gagged in the general mercantile bus
mess in Michigan. He continued II
business there until 1899 and the fol
lowing year engaged in similar bus,
mess in Huntington, Oregon. In l9Ot
he left Huntington and went to Port
land where he engaged in the whole
sale commission business until l9li
when he purchased the Stewart ant
Reser department store and became
established in this city.
Mr.. Sherk is survived by his widow
two sons, Everett and Barton, wht
were associated with him in business
and one daughter, Miss Beatrice, al
of whom were with him when he pas
sed away. He has one brother wht
lives in Michigan.
The two sons returned home Mon
day night but Mrs. Sherk and daugn
ter will visit friends in Portland fol
some time.
