Shipping Fruit.

On Sundays down river trip of
the steamer Lewiston, four carloads of
fruit were shipped from points inter-
mediate to Lewiston and Riparia. 1t
is the early spring product of the
Snake river fruit farms and was all
consigned to Eastern markets. This
product always meets strong demand
and has higher quotation on the St.
Paul market than even the early Cali
fornia output. The steamer made about
twenty landings to receive this fruit.
Some of the large orchards suppliedsa
carload each, while the timid Offering
OF one enthusiastic fruit man amounted
TO just three boxes. A number of
agents from commission houses handle
most OF the small shipments and con-
sign them in carload lots at Riparia.
The possibilities OF the Snake river
fruit industry in the future can best be
realized by a study OF conditions at a
few OF the big orchards. AT Kelly's
Bar, one thousand boxes Of peaches and
plums were shipped TO the Montana
market. In the future each trip OF the
steamer will take carload OF fruit
from this farm. Last year, in early July,
people OF Raleigh, N. c., purchased
peaches in the town market raised on
this farm. This fruit farm, and the
Bishop Bar orchard, are now being
handled under lease by Smith & Stahl,
experienced California packers and
shippers. At present the firm employs
about fifteen pickers and packers.
When the season advances this force is
increased into double the number. The
packing is confined almost exclusively
TO young ladies. They receive from two
to five cents per box for packing, ac-
cording TO the character Of the fruit,
anG the most adept make as much as
$3.50 per day. The largest bearing
orchard on the river is at Wa-wa-wai.
The orchard comprises 30 acres. 1t is
the property OF the Snake River Fruit
Growers association, and Is managed
by agents Twenty people are employed
at present. The output of this orchard
win exceed forty carload. The fertility
Of the soil on these bars has now been
demonstrated, and young orchards have
been planted in the most favorable
spots which, in the future, win increase
the output one hundred fold. The su-
perior Quality OF the article viii always
demand a market, and the quantity
will insure a great and permanent in
dustry. ry.--Lewiston Tribune.

IT is AN AWFUL SHOCK TO A THEATRE

do you think that many people really object

Of a theatre with no seats in that distressing
position.
Look inside the house there" the manager
answered. IT'S full of people that arc glad to

say nothing Of sitting down. 1t simply depends
on your play. II you have good play they
will crowd in and sit anywhere. and II you
haven't a good play they won't come at all
