CELEBRATE HERE
is QUIET AFFAIR
Kennewick Residents Spend Two
Day Holiday in aVrious Ways
NO Local Observance

Although Kennewick did not hold
a celebration of any sort in OBJ
servance of independence Day,
several neighboring towns staged
affairs which we are assured were
exciting and well attended. White
Bluffs entertained large crowd,
while the combined efforts Of Fin
ley and Hover provided much fun
and amusement for folks who did
not care to go far from home.
The cool, pleasant weather and
good roads proved too great a lure
for many Kennewick people, how
ever, many persons taking advan-
tage of the two-day holiday and
spending the short vacation in the
mountains. Private picnic parties
were also in order. A great many
cars loaded to the brim with bas-
kets pulled out of town early in
the morning, while several less en-
terprising families held dinners
on their lawns.

CITY DELIVERY

The new city delivery service
started on schedule July 1st and
uniformed carriers are making two
deliveries a day. From reports
reaching Postmaster Shanafelt,
the patrons seem to be well pleas
ed with it.
Three sections of lock boxes
have been taken out of the post
office lobby, bringing the mailing
drop nearer the door and more
convenient for patrons having let
tiers to mail. 1t also gives more
room in the work room of the
post office and the fixtures in that
have been rearranged to a much
better advantage.
The postmaster urges that pa
irons get the habit of having their
correspondents address their mail
to the street and house number.
Local business houses are being
asked to cooperate by having their
mailing lists brought down to date
with the house and street number.

Spud Market
Stays Steady
Crops This Year Lighter
Than Estimated On
ions in Demand

AS usual when there is a good
price for farm products no one
has anything to sell. That is ex-
actly the situation in which the
early potato growers around here
find themselves this year. The spud
market it strong, the price hover
ing around $50 per ton fob. local
shipping points, but production
will fall far below last years ton
mage. To date in excess of forty
carloads have been sold by the
Three Rivers Growers association.
with more being loaded daily. At
the beginning of the season it was
estimated that there were as many
potatoes this year as last, but de-
iiveries have proved otherwise.
Onions seem to be coming to the
foreground in Kennewick this
year. The Three Rivers have ship
ped some eighteen straight cars
at the very satisfactory price of
from $40 to $50 per ton. Manager
Lee Lampson says that the strong
demand for onions promises to
make them one of Kennewick's (
leading products.
A peculiar quirk of the vegetable
market is that asparagus ship
ments were made up until july .
this year, making the past season
the longest on record.

WellBred Sires
Give Returns
Raise Profits from Sale of
Animals and Products
for Market

That well bred sires are good
property, not only for the expert
enced breeder, but for every farm
er willing to give them proper
care and opportunity to prove
their worth has been shown con-
clusively by an inquiry conducted
by the Bureau of Animal Industry
of the United States department of
agriculture.
Many livestock owners in Wash
ington appreciate this fact, but
there are many more who could
increase returns, both from the
sale of animals and products for
market, by using purebred sires.
Eleven cow testing associations
in the state are helping farmers
to make consistent improvements
in their herds thru using better
sires and testing individual cows
for butterfat production. Four
counties, Snohonish, Lewis, Skag-
it and Pierce, have held purebred
sire campaigns in recent years and
thus helped eliminate the scrub
sire. These are conducted thru the
cooperation of the extension ser
vice of the state college of Wash
ington.
This inquiry indicated that the
increase in financial returns from
livestock operations, traceable to
purebred Sires. was AZ per cent.
including both market products
and sale of animals. Progeny of
purebred sires has practically a
80 per cent greater sale value than
the progeny of non-purebreds. Us
ers Of purebred sires agree prac-
tically unanimously that results
justify the cost. Some communi-
ties have cooperative bull associa-
tions to save each small herd own
er the expense of buying a good
animal.

w erDelivery
ResumedToday
Ditch Appears to be in
Best of Condition--Turn
Off is Effective

After being left absolutely dry
for three days Cor the purpose Of
killing weeds and moss, water was
turned into the canals of the Co
lumbia Irrigation District Wednes-
day morning at $3.50 and was a.
vailable. in all parts of the system
Thursday afternoon. The turn off,
which was from 9 o'clock Sunday
evening, July 5, to $3.50 Wednes-
day morning, July 9Th, was very
successful one. =.
Weed and moss growths have
not proved such a serious hinder
ance to water deliveries this
spring. The cool weather and mud
dy water combined have mater
tally curtailed their development.
Water weeds sch as grow in our
bitches here require sunlight and
warmth. Most of the weeds this
year have grown along the edges
of the canals rather than in the
bottom and wee quickly dried up
when the water was drained. For
tunately the days the water was
out we're abpu. the hottest which
we have had this year. Then, too,
the turnout was planned for the
Fourth of July so that ranchers
throughout the vicinity would be
able to get away from home for
day or so if they wished.
While the water was out con-
siderable cleaning was accomplish
ed both by the Highland Water
Users association and below town.
The water this year has carried a
great deal of sediment. In place
or two in the laterals of the lower
valley the Columbia district used
scrapers and teams to remove ex-
cessive deposits. On the hill the
bitches are much smaller than they
are under the gravity flow and
the water has less velocity. Mud
piles up fast and unless kept down
quickly reduces the carrying ca
pacity of bitches and fumes.
While. the canals were dry this
week a crew of half a dozen men
were busy shoveling out the worst
spots.

thinking hard of Gov. Hartley
while saying it.
But, what is more important.
DIR. Suzzallo recommended the no.
pular election of regents or trus-
tees. In other words, his plan
would make education a fourth
branch of state government. rank
ing with the executive, legislative
and judicial branches. Under that
system, the educational institu-
tions would no longer be respon-
sive to the governor or legislature.
1t is possible that the Suzzallo
plan will please the class of people
who are the primary, initiative.
referendum, recall, popular cleo
tion of judges and other such di-
rect measures that tend toward
pure democracy. But it will prob
ably not catch on with the more
conservative who favor the short
ballot, centralized control. etc.
Therefore, the Suzzallo plan will
probably not get before the people
unless it is put up as an initiative
measure.

EACH TEAM TAKES
ONE BALL GAME
Benton City and Kennewick Play
Good Games - One Goes
to Extra Innings

After putting up a stiff battle
which took two extra innings to
decide, the Kennewick baseball
club went down to defeat before
the onslaught of the Benton City
team Sunday, July 8, the score
being 8-6. In the return game next
day they amply avenged them
selves, and sent the confident
bunch from up the river home with
very decisive beating.
The game Sunday was closely
contested affair, the score being
tied almost two-thirds of the time.
Custer, who did the hurting for
Kennewick, held the visitors to
twelve hits; Howard, who pitched
for Benton City, also allowed but
dozen bingles. The game at
Richland on the Fourth was like
wise hard fought, but Klum, who
was in the pitchers box once more,
had enough dope on the ball to
keep the home bunch out of dam
ger.

Change Made in Plans for
Fall Display of Val
ley Products
No Cash Prizes Given
List of Premiums is to be
Merchandise Donations
Enter State Fair

A radical change has been made
in the planss for the annual fair
here this year. There will be no list
of premiums and no cash prizes
except for a few Of the larger ex-
hibits. will be awarded. Displays
win be made in the store windows
instead of at the fair grounds as is
customary.
This action was taken at the
meeting this week when the COM
mittee held its regular weekly ses-
sion. The principal reason for the
change is for the purpose Of con-
serving the funds already in the
hands of the fair association. The
ultimate aim of the association is
to purchase grounds for the an
nual event. The plan is to combine
the fair grounds with an athletic
field and play ground for the whole
community.
The various department heads
had arranged their premium lists
for this years exhibits, the totals
amounting to over 5000. With the
other necessary expenses incident
to staging a successful fair the
outlook did not look promising for
possibility of breaking even.
Rather than taking a chance on
dissipating the funds on hand this
expedient was voted.
Committees will at once inter-
view the business men to secure
show windows for the exhibits.
The businessmen will also be ask
ed to donate merchandise pl9zes to
be awarded to ribbon winners in
the various classes.
The same exhibits will be so.
licited as planned for the regular
fair, but the displays will be ar
ranged in the windows of the var
ious business houses along the
main street. AS yet, however. it is
not definitely known whether the
livestock and poultry departments
will go ahead with their plans.
The entertainment features will
be under the supervision of ]. p.
Martin and will include enough
amusement devices to provide for
the holiday, the same as is caused
by the regular fair. An open air
dance pavilion to open at once. Is
one of the possibilities Mr.. Mar
tins committee has in mind.
Features that provide for skill
and at the same time, entertain
ment for the onlookers have also
been suggested. Races of various
sorts, horse shoe contests and the
like are being planned. Some sort
of program, including the crown
ing of the queen, will be given
each afternoon and evening of the
fair.
For the exhibits of material that
can be taken to the state fair, the,
committee is anxious to have in
the quantities required. Growers
who have produce Of fine quality
are urged to get in touch with the
department heads as soon as pos
sible, and to enter into the spirit
Of competition just as keenly as
tho the regular cash prizes were
to be awarded.

List Out for
Big State Fair
Prizes Increased in All
Departments - Much
Interest is Shown

Premium. increases in many de-
partments are represented in the
premium list of the Washington
State fair, September 10 to IL,
just off the press. Valley exhibit
ors will note with interest the sub
stantial prizes offered and will
put new energy into the job of
pairing their show stuff for entry.
The cattle division alone shows
a jump Of $500, total of $9779
being offered. Sheep total $2260
an increase over last year of $175.
Swine, with a total of $4,000, lists
a premium increase Of 1912.
Potatoes take proud Jump,
and so will the grower who looks
at the prizes hung up. A bushel of
Melted Gems grown east of the
Cascades which formerly COM
manded first, second and third
prizes Of $40, $3.50 and SIS respect
lively may this year draw to the
tune of $25, SIS and $40. The same
increase is noted for a bushel of
potatoes, six or more varieties,
correctly named, twelve each,
which last year. was eligible to
$40, SIS and $3.50 now shows in
crease in second and third prizes
to $3.50 and $5. Premiums on plate
exhibits remain the same.
Apples are a chesty lot this year
too. Under lot No. 1 which calls
for the most artistic and perfect
pyramid display of apples, to con-
sist of five boxes of three or more
commercial varieties, the former
premiums of $50, $25 and SIS, first
second and third, respectively, have
been raised to 500, $50 and $25
for the same classifications, while
a fourth prize of $15 has been add
ed. Eleven other apple exhibits
of five boxes each are raised from
So, $5 and So to $40, $3.50 and $5.
Grapes, basket display, show an
increase in both European and
American varieties, from SIS and
So to $40 and $5. Plate displays
of pears, peaches and grapes are
raised from $1.5O and $.75 to So
and $1.00.
In the poultry division, six new
special prizes, all for substantial
cash sums attest the growing i'm
portance of this industry.
Some additional money is placed
for wheat in sheaves and threshed
grain. Both milk and cream, in
the individual and inspectors class
es, which last year won ribbons
only, will this year compete for
cash premiums, first, second and
third, running uniform $40, SIS and
So. The pro rata sum of $50 listed
formerly for cheese is increased
to S10O, and cottage cheese or
other soft cheese, not before pro-
vided for in the pro rata, listing
is now included.
In the Horticulture, culinary,
and arts and crafts departments,
almost fifty additional prizes are
listed for competition.
Most of the departments have
already had numerous inquiries
more than in any previous year SO
early in the season. The fair man
agement feels convinced that the
elaborate program of improvement
and preparation now under way Is
going to meet full measure OF CO.
