Our Fruit Industry!
ALL THE CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
TEND FAVOR LEWISTON.
The Famous Idaho Pear
This is the Home of It's Origin and
Propagation. and the Fruit Grow
ing Center Of the Northwest.

Allusions to the climate of Lewiston
and vicinity are made sometimes in a
spirit of vaiilery, or if seriously, with
only partial appreciation of its real
value. 1t is not only its significance
as an item in real estate valuation; nor
its measure as one of the delights Of
living, which gives the most
tangible proof of the value of the eli
mate of the valleys of the Snake and
Clearwater rivers. This proof can be
found rather in Il proper estimate of its
value rs an actual factor in production !;
and in no branch of industry is this of
as great importance as in fruit growing.
The conditions which the eXpericn-
ces of all countries has shown to be the
most favorable to the perfect develop
ment and ripening of fruits are: free
dom from extremes OF low temperature
and early and late frosts, necessity of
adequate summer heat with uLund-
ance OF sunshine, and an atmosphere
WITH 4 low percentage OF humidity.
These conditions exist in these valleys
in degree equallcd in no portion of
the United States, with the exception
of the interior valleys of California. \
careful examination of the records of the
Signal office will show that during the
growing season. from April to Novem-
Der, observations taken at Lewiston
will compare favorably with those
taken in the favored valleys of Califor-
! mia, whose fruit product is their main
| wealth, with the number of sunshiny
days in favor of Lewiston.
These favoring climatic conditions
tind their fitting compliment in the
peculiar adaptation of our soil to the
perfect dc velopmcnt of fruit bearing
tree or vine. This soil, varying from
| light sandy loan in the river bottoms,
to heavy cluyey black loan on the
table lands, all contains in high de-
gree the very elements that have to be
supplied artiiicially in other countries,
viz: the salts of soda and potash. These
are the results of thousands of years of
disintcgration of the basalt formation
underlying the whole country, and
! from such IL large component part of
the soil that fertilization for fruit grow.
ing need not be consideration fol
years to come.
While fruit growing is yet in its in
| fancy, when the acreage and the num-
her of persons engaged in the busines.
are considered, it has years ago ceased
to be an experiment. A few orchards
were planted near Lewiston during the
early days of the settlement of the coun
try, some thirty years ago, and yielded
so abundantly every season since they
arrived at tearing age, of the finest oi
fruit, that the supply was more than
the small population OF the country
could then consume. This excess o
production over consumption, with nj
transportation facilities to reach dis
tant markets, prevented the planting
of orchards Oh a more extensive scale
This condition of affairs has undergone
a great change during the last few

Catholic missionaries from Boston
and Canada. The first missionary
priest was Rev. FIR Drolet of Mont
pelier, who made frequent visits here
and celebrated the mass in a hall
which is not now in existence. The
second missionary priest was Rev.
FIR. Maloney of the Congregation of
Oblate Fathers. He bought the
ground on which the old church
stands, the date of the deed being
Feb. 27, 1856. This jealous mis-
sionary is now laboring among the
colored people of Texas. The same
year he was replaced by Rev. FIR.
O'Reilly, now rector of the church at
West Rutland. He laid part of the
foundation of the old church. These
early missionaries haveleft no records
of their work in the archives of the
church. In July, 1858, Rev. FIR.
S. Danielou came here as the first
resident parish priest. He was very
active in building up the congrega-
ton and completed the old church.
He also built the first rectory above
the Catholic cemetery in Summerville,
and in 1864 built the school
for boys. He is now laboring in
New Jersey. On July 20, 1874, Rev.
J. A. Boissonnault came here and still
continues his faithful labors over a
prosperous parish. The chime of
three bells was bought in 1876 and
consecrated on the Fourth of July,
the centennial of America s independ-
ence This was the first Catholic
church in the state to have so large
a chime of bells. In June, 1878, the
pastor purchased residence for the
nuns on Cherry street. On the third
of September, 1879, he confded the
direction of the schools to the reverend

was made by John Roderer, and in
French by Peter Provencal, members
of the xecutive committee Father

organ during the morning services.

sion, aside from the bishop and
others already mentioned, were !:

baptisms, 400 marriages and 1900
deaths in the parish. At the arrival
of FIR Boissonnauft in 1874 there
were 22O families in the parish. At
the last census in November, 1888
there were $40 families with popu-
lation of about 100. Rev. FIR.
Marceau of the diocese of Quebec is
now helping the present pastor in
the duties of his parish. During FIR.
Boissonnault's pastorate he has
spent S19O.OOO upon buildings and
real estate for church purposes.
A MUSICAL SOIREE.
The first exercise in connection
with the celebration was a musical
soiree in the old church on Cherry
street, where an attractive and pretty
scene was presented. A profusion of
flags and bunting had been used to
beautifv the interior, and on the wall

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
a ST. Johnsbury CIereyman's Silver
Jubilee Appropriately Celebrated.

A ST. JohnSbury CIergyman'S Silver
Jubilee Appropriately Celebrated.
Twenty-Five years ago, at Sault au
RecoIlet, near Montreal, Rev. ]. A.
Boissonnault was ordained to the
priesthood, and has been in active
service ever since, having had charge
of the Catholic parish in ST. Johns
bury since 1874. This week he and
his people celebra ted with APP
propriate ceremonies the pastors
silver jubilee.
The reverend gentleman in ques-
ton was born at st. Valentine, P. O.,
May 16, 1871, graduated from Mon
treal college in 1868, and the same
year began his theological studies.
After his ordination in 1866 he was
named as assistant pastor at Sault
au Recollet, and in 1869 came to
Vermont, taking charge of the new
congregation at Rutland. At the
close of that year he became rector
at Fair Haven, which comprised the
missions Of Castleton, Orwell, Shore
ham and Proctorsville, and during
that time built churches at Fair
Haven and Shoreham In 1874, the
year in which he began his work in
this place, he established boys
school; bought the Catholic GENE
terry in 1876; built the church at
Lyndonville the same year, and in
1879 was influential in starting the
girls school. To his indefa tigable eff
forts also is due the erection of the
present elegant church building Of
that denomina ton in St. Johnsbury.
A brief sketch of the parish will be
of interest at this time. Before the
foundation of the diocese of Burling-
ton in 1858, St. Johnsbury had the
privilege of only occasional visits of
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1891-11-12
