Bitter Root Apples in Big Demand.

The apple crop of the Bitter Root is
moving rapidly and bringing good
prices. Early Transparents and Ouch
ess apples have been marketed by the
car loads at 90 20 70 cents per box.
Weathys are now on the market COM
manding 80 cents per box and are be-
ing shipped by the car loads to eastern
points, There is a big demand for
crab apples, the A c. M. Co. having
one order for six cars to be delivered at
Winnepeg. Crab apples are bringing
3D. and 90 cents per box. Winter APP
pies are bound to bring a big price.
and some of the growers propose to
hold Mcintosh Reds for 81 Is. The ship
pers are experiencing difficulty in Sc
curing enough of the big yellow re-
frigerator cars for long hauls. The
ordinary box cars suffice for shipment
to state points. 1t is estimated that
the Bitter Root apple crop for export
will amount to not less than 100 cars.
Fully so cars are ready for shipm ent
| from Hamilton up. The apple crop in
the east and in Washington is said to
be failure this year and consequent
ly the apples of the Bitter Root which
are of the best quality and entirely
free from worms are in great demand.
Apple buyers are being attracted here
from all over the country.

BITTER ROOT FRUIT AT PORTLAND
j. o. Read Preparing a Creditable
Exilbit

Missoula, Sept. 9.-J. o. Read of
Riverside. who WAS in the city today,
on his way home from Butte, says that
Montana is going to have a fr>t-class
exhibit of fruits at the Lewis and Clark
Centennial exposition al Portland dur
ing its closing days. M'ssoula, Ra-
valli and Flathead. the three big coun-
ties OF the west end of the state. will
be we'll represented. Fred Whites lde of
kalispell is collecting the exhibits from
Flathead country, Charles Ddllman is
looking out for the fruit from Nj ,soula
and Mr.. Reed is paying personal at
tention to the fruits Of the Bitter Root
valley.
The exhibits will all be gathered and
in readiness for shipment to Portland
within the next three or f,ur days.
The fruit will make half a carload, Mr.,
Read says, and it will be SO we'll Sc
lected that il ought to attract great
deal of attention at Portland. The dis
play will consist principally of pears
and apples, as it is almost impossible
to get many cherries or strawberries
together at this time in the season.
The early varieties of apples will be Sc
lected in profusion.
Western M ,ntana's apples and pears
will be placed in the horticultural and
agricultural building when they arrive
at Portland. The fruit display will go
| in with the agricultural products in
that part of the building which has
been designated as belonging to this
state. The exhibit will be in charge
of Verde Spurgin Of Missoula.
The fruit exhibit is being paid for
by the people Of Western Montana, who
have had public spirit cnongh to do
something in this matter. At the last
session Of the leg gislature Mr.. Read and
others endeavored to induce the legis-
lature to appropriate money for hor-
ticultural exhibit at Portland, but moth
ing was done. AS a result Montana S
showing at the fair has been small and
insignificant. The people here who
have realized this fact intend that
Montana shall make some kind of a
showing, even if it is only during the
last month of the exposition.~ 1t will
do a world of good in an advertising
way, for this is great fruit season
