JUDGE EXCEEDED AUTHORITY.
No Right to Give DR.. Grimstead Per-
mission to Practice.

Especial to Inter Mountain)
Helena, Dec. 3.-The supreme court
holds that Judge J. NJ. Clements of the
district court exceeded his authority
when he granted Dr. J. F. Grimstead
permission to practice medicine pending
his appeal to the district court, from the
action of the state board of examiners
who refused to grant his a professional
physi< ms license.
The Ease came before the supreme
court upon the application for a writ of
review, applied for by the attorney gen.
eral. Grimstead is charged with using
unfair means at the state examination
in availng himself of notes and memo
randums to refresh his memory.
The courts decision is that G:imstead
was under the same ban that a man
guilty of misdemeanor would be, as
far as the findings of the medical board
We're concerned.
The board acting under it's rules pre-
scribed by the statutes refused to grant
him a certificate for reasons and no one
would have the right to abrogate the
findings of the board until the matter
had been fairly tried in court.

the recipient of a good deal of unasked
admiration since the theaters reOpened.
A few evenings ago she found huge
bunch Of red, red roses in her dressing

young fop who had been persistent IN
his attempts to make her acquaintance.
He invited her to supper after the the

would wear one of these roses at her
throat when she went out
It was plain enough that he would NM

the actress was puzzled as to how Shf
could pass without his observing her. She
had no idea that he would take failure
to wear a rose as a sign that he must
hold aloof. Rather was she apprehensive
that that might make him desperately
bold, and she wanted to take in no scene
that was not down on the bill. Long
before the performance was over she ha4

uted to her associates among the minor
actresses, of whom there were several.

JUDGE CLANCY UPHELD,
Supreme Court Afirms Denial Of Re-
straining Order to B. & M,
Especial to Inter Mountain. !

especial TO inter MOuntatn.)
Helena. Dec. 3.-Late yesterday after
noon the supreme court affirmed the or
der of Judge Clancy denying the applica-
ton of the Boston & Montana for an
injunction restraining the Montana Ore
Purchasing company from working the
Pennsylvania ground pending the final
adjudication of the case by the supreme
court.
The decision will probably not affect
the ruling made by the court when it
granted the Boston & Montana a pro-
vsional injunction against the Montana
Ore Purchasing company, in the Penn
sylvana case.
That injunction admits of the opera
tioh of the property by the Montana
Ore Purchasing company, pending the
appeal, SO long as it provides sufficient
bonds to indemnify the Boston & Mon
tana, in the event that Judge Clancy's
decree is set aside and the case decided

The Fruit Industry and
What Made Il Possible
The Invention 81 the Refrigerator Cor and
the Cold Storage House

The cold storage warehouse was the
predecessor Of the refrigerator car
and the cold storage room in ocean
steamers. While the cold storage
warehouse assisted in solving the
problem of profitable cultivation OF
the harder northern fruits, and of aP-
pies particularly, it was not until q
solution of the problem of refrigera-
ton in transit was found that our
tropical fruits could be grown and
marketed at profit.
The great bulk of rail shipments in
the early days went to market in
freight cars, but it was soon found
that losses from deterioration in
transit were too frequent and too
large to leave profit to the shipper.
Ventilated cars of various kinds were
tried with varying success, the first
carload shipments Of dec;duous fresh
fruits from California, consisting OF
33 tons of pears, apples, grapes and
plums, having been successfully made
in them in 1869. All shipments from
California prior to 1883 were thus
made, carefully selected foothill fruit
enduring the journey to Chicago. or
even farther east, where the trains
were moved on. express schedules.
Valley fruits and those from irrigated
lands, however, could not be safely
shipped.
Encouraged, no doubt, by the meas
ure of success attained in preserving
fruits and meats by ice storage, ex-
periments were made by many in
dividuals in the direction of chilling
cars while in transit. The first patent
taken out for refrigerator car was
that of j. B. Sutherland, of Detroit
Mich, under date of November 26,
1867. Other inventions were patented
in rapid succession by persons resid.
ing in different parts of the country
Shipments of fresh meat were made
during the early COS, and perhaps ear
lier, in ordinary freight cars. These
were fitted up with platforms at each
end, upon each of which was placed

about 5000 pounds of block ice. The
ice was held in place by stout swing
doors suspended from the ceiling, and
the ice could only be replaced when
the car was empty. About 1868 Mr.. ID.
B. Beemer states that he and the late
H. P. Stanley, tempted by the high
prices for peaches then prevailing on
the New York market on account of
the failure of the crop in Delaware
and New Jersey, undertook to forward
from Chicago carload of Michigan
OIdmixon and Late Crawford peaches
in one of the meat cars then in use on
the Michigan Central railroad. The
car was iced and loaded with warm
fruit from South Water street, and
started, attached to passenger train,
for Suspension Bridge, New York,
thence to be forwarded by fast freight
to New York city. The total time in
transit was to be about three days.
When Suspension Bridge was reached,
% hours after departure from Chicago,
the car was opened and the contents
were found to be in bad condition, the
ice having melted. The losses to the
shippers on this and another car for
warded by the same method amounted
to about $1,000 per carload. The fail
ure was due to the warmth of the
fruit when shipped and the lack of
facilities for reicing in transit.
Even earlier than this Mr.. Parker
Earle, then of Golden, ILL.,, had shipped
Strawberries in refrigerator chests by
express as far as Chicago, New York
and New Orleans. These held about
200 quart baskets of berries each and
100 pounds of ice. They carried the
fruit well for long distances when
properly reiced, but were finally aban-
doned because of the heavy express
charges on the refrigerators and the
failure of the express companies to re-
ice them in transit. Mr.. Earle tested
various refrigerator cars, mostly built
for the dairy and meat trade, includ-
ing the "Davis," above mentioned, and
finally settled upon one, the Tiffany"
which was cooled by about 5000
pounds Of ice, in V-shaped box run
ming the full length of the car. By
cooling the fruit in an ice house before
shipment he was able to deliver straw
berries and other perishable fruits in
Chicago, Detroit and other northern
cities in better condition than had
been done before. To his energy. skill
and persistence the early development
of the refrigerator car service of the
Mississippi valley and Gulf regions is
largely due. 4

ment of horticultural industry in the
history of the world.
The stimulus to planting afforded
by the improved facilities for trans
portation, however, soon resulted in
disastrous overproduction in some Sec
tions. Large orchards, vineyards and
small-fruit plantations were planted
farther from their prospective mar
kets than their products could be
transported. This was notably true
in the southern United States. where
the added incentive of high prices for
early fruits in markets farther north
caused large paintings of the more
perishable fruits. such as strawber-
ries, blackberries, raspberries. peach
es and plums. The planters dem
onstrated that they could produce
these fruits in large quantity and of
high quality at relatively low cost,
but the product could not, with the
then existing facilities. be delivered
to the distant consumer, for whom it
was intended, in sound and wholesome
condition. Thus, the truckers near
Norfolk, Va, demonstrated as early
rs 1860 that the strawberry could be
grown in large quantities and ripened
long in advance of the northern crop.
But, as repeated shipments spoiled in
transit, its culture was abandoned un-
til the development of more durable
varieties and improved transportation
brought the New York market within
reach Of the growers. The early peach
industry Of South Carolina and Geor-
gia suffered similar experience about
1s50-1s70. and practically ceased to ex-
ist for period of Is to 20 years; then
suddenly, with the origination of va
riety (Elberta) better adapted to long
shipment, and the development of a
car service adequate for fruit trans
portation, that region sprang into q
leading place among the peach-pro-
ducing sections Of the country.
The desire to extend the marketing
season In the vicinity of cities and the
necessity, in case Of producing regions
remote from market, of finding out
lets for the products led to the devel-
opment Of what is now becoming one
of the most important features of the
fruit industry. This is true of many
sortfons Of the United States and Can
Ida, as well as of the rapidly develop
ing fruit regions Of Australia, Tas-
mania, New Zealand and South Africa.
