journ and Start For Home.

Fruit Growers association, which
was pronounced as the most success
full in the history OF fruit growers as
sociations in the state, closed Satur
day night.
The afternoon session attracted /
large attendance owing to the fact
that the place for holding the mex,
annual meeting was to be decided anG
officers for the ensuing year selected
1t was expected that the session
would be a spirited one, but although
there was considerable discussion On
| the question of changing the consti
tuition, the greatest harmony prevail
| ed, and it is safe 70 say that there
has not been more harmonious
meeting of the society.
Two amendments were made before
the election of officers, botn of which
We're considered of great Importance
and carried with out little opposition
The first amendment considered
was one to prohibit two sessions OF
the society in the same city in sue
cession, and was offered by Mr..
Colville, and the other, submitted by
MY. Whiteside, changed the mode II
voting. Delegates can now be sent
by the home societies of the state o.,
ganizatons to the annual meeting
who have the power to cast the vote
of the local societies in selecting
the place in which to hold the annual
meetings, and the election of off.
GERS. Ihe amendments were offered
with the expressed intention of max
ing it impossible for the members If
the society who reslue in the city
where the annual session is being
held. and who could, if they desired,
being always largely in the majority
vote to fix the location of the So
ciety's meetings permanently at any
one place. AS the manner in which
changes in the constitution are made
remains the same, and, as local or
CARNATIONS can always muster a two
sAirds majority of those present
there is nothing to prevent them from
again changing the constitution.

Closing Session.
The evening session was the most
pleasant of the week. A number OF
papers were read by gentlemen who
were unable to be present at the time
they were to have occupied the pro-
gram, and although coming at the last
moment their papers were greatly en-
joyed. The general discussions which
followed each paper were of great
value to fruit growers.
The prize cup which is to be known
as the Flathead Cup, and which must
be won three years in succession be-
fore it becomes the property of the
holder, was awarded to A. l.. Treat,
of Plains, Flathead county not com.
peting.
The conditions of the awarding of
the cup call for the best collection
of four varieties of Montana apples,
raised by one party. The resoln-
tons below We're adopted and after
adjournment there was an apple 81
cial, at which general good time
was enjoyed. and the members and
their guests endeavored to store
away the exhibits which they came
near doing.
The night trains carried to their
MONIES most of the members from a
distance, and the Flatnead members
departed Sunday.
