Only One.Fourth Of a crop.

Missoula, June 23.-'The berry crop
in the Bitter Root valley this year will
be only one-fourth of what it should
be-" said Mr.. Read of the Horticul
tural society. "We of the Fruitgrow
ers' union have decided to abandon a
number of the plans we have adopted
to handle the crop. It would be a bad
year for the farmers in this respect,
but we did not know anything about
it until had made trip to each OF
the heavy growers, and found that the
crop was small"
Mr.. Read says that the farmers at
tribute the small crops to the plants
being winter killed In many instan
ces the plants were not protected OF
mulched, and as there was but little
snow last fall the cold weather affected
them. The special express coaches
which had been spoken for will hav,
to be given up and the present plan il
to have each grower ship to the con
sumers direct. Mr.. Read says tha
notwithstanding the small crop ther,
will be a lot of berries for the market
standard.

from view by the growth Of willows
and other brush. Two or three min
ntes later witness heard some one call
ing from the direction OF the dam. He
understood the voice to say "go away"
After pansing to tnish fastening
staple attaching the wire to the fence
he and his. companion started to run
towards the dam. They had covered
about half the distance when he heard
shot. Arriving near the dam wit
ness saw Linscott lying on his left
side about 40 or so feet north of the
DAM A shovel was lying by his side.
Powell was standing, with a rifle in
his hand, IS or 20 feet from Linscott's
