All to have Equal Oppor-
tunity in the Valleys
Greatest Honor

Al IN carrier issues OF the COur-
ier-Peporter, will be conducted a.
long a line different from those of
former years.
In planning the queen contest,
fhe valley has been divided into
;cleven districts, with the lines so
drawn as to preserve the natural
community identity so far as pos
sible, and yet to create districts
If practically equal population.
Two of these districts, Hover and
Horse Heaven, are somewhat be-
low the average strength, so to
give them more equal chance, it
s planned that their votes will
have greater value than the 9TH
ofs.
The eleven districts, with the
chairman of the local committee,
and their boundaries are as fol-
bws:
Hover. VIM. Mills-Al territory
ffom the end of the canal up to
{ line drawn southwest from the
old Tracy pump house.

tory under the canal from the Ho-
YER line to a line drawn as fol-
lows: beginning at the line of Sec

A princess will be elected from
each Of these eleven districts to
Be the official representative of
her district in the ceremonies and
events of the fair. To the district
which polls the largest number of
votes in the contest goes the honor
q having its elected princess,
uowned queen of the Kennewick
fair for 1927. This means that the
total of all votes cast for all con-
sestants in given district will be
Gedited to the winning princess,
h deciding the queenship;- so the
nore candidates and the hotter
the contest, the more chance of
rolling up winning vote for the
dstrict representative. While the
