CHERRY CROP ON THE RIVER
Now Moving at the Rate Of 1000 Boxes Day
fruit in Demand Everywhere Outlook
for Season Is Heavy Crop of Stone Fruits

Geo. F.. Crum of White Bros returned
yesterday from trip along Snake river
where he is looking after fruit shipments
for his firm. The principal shipments
now are of cherries and Mr. Crum says
that they are moving at the rate OF 1000
boxes a day. The Snake river valley
cherries have the call on a wide range
market. Their superior quality creates
demand for the product. Shipments
were made this week by White Bros. to
West coast points and east to Montana, p,
Minnesota, Dakota and Colorado points.
Nothing ip5the market excells the Snake
river cherry. Just anow the Royal Anu
aud Black Tartarisns cherries have the
market hut atet this week she Bings and
Black Repnblisans with come in. The
crop in all varietissi Is above theayerage
and of excellent quality. "a ass <.e s.
Speaking of the crop pfospeets for
fruit in general Mr.. Crum sentnresl the
statement that with the exception of ap.
Piles the crop this season will be heavy.
There will be heavy crop of apricots,
peaches and plums. Last season the
crop on these varieties was light.
Mr.. Crum estimates that outside of
apples there will be shipped from river
points this season $50 mixed cars OF fruits,
peaches, plums. pears and apricots, of
quantity in the order named. The Lew
iston is the only boat on the river now
but it is hoped the Spokane will be put
on by the first of the month to give
daily service for fruit shipments. One
boat cannot handle the traffic after the
mixed carload lots begin to move.
White Bros are the only commission
firm operating on the river this season
and they are handling practically all the
fruit shipping business.

The rainfall of the past week has put
the prairie in fine condition. and the

of being as good as that of last season.
There was only one point on the prairie
where rain was really needed and that
was in the Fletcher and Mohler section
but this weeks rains supplied all the
moisture needed there and crop condi
tons for the entire prairie were never
better.

now holds 5000 gallons, with every evid-
ence that the supply is inexhaustible.
The flow was struck at the depth of eight
feet.

National bank was made this week. The
bank has been in operation now little
over month and has on deposit 1884,,
1885; in circulation $627o, and loans
and discounts $49.I9345 The capital
stock is SIS, 900.
The Farmers Tramway Co. have begun
the construction of two new warehouses

vival now in progress at the German
Baptist church under direction of Rev.
Eby. Up to date some 27 or 2S converts
