Fl. Ferbrache, business manager of
the Bitter Root Fruit Growers Asso-
citation arrived from Chicago Thurs
day evening. Mr.. Ferbrache was ac-
companied by his wife and is stopping
at the Hotel Hamilton.
Mr.. Ferbrache last year was busi-
ness manager of the Grand Round
Valley (Ore) Fruit Growers Associa-
ton and was engaged to manage the
business of the Bitter Root association
by Director c. M. Allen of Lo Lo who,
during the past summer has visited
all the apple valleys of Washington
and Oregon.
Mr.. Ferbrache has driven about the
valley considerably since his arrival
and is very favorably impressed. He
says the Bitter Root is much inner
valley than Grand valley, Cal, or the
Grand Round valley of Oregon, being
larger, more fertile and having better
waiter supply for irrigation. He con-
sSders this natural apple country aud
says that Bitter Root apples will
quickly win a world wide reputation.

If two cases are tried consecutively

Curious Marriage Customs.

Wedding customs in Servia, that
little kingdom in Europe. are curl
Gus. indeed, from an American stand
point. For instance, neither the
bride nor the bridegroom is the most
important figure in a Servian we'd
ding, but the best man takes the
leading part He carefully guards
the bride all the day before the we'd
ding takes place. and sleeps out
side her chamber the night before
the girl 10 TO be married. He wears
a big stif sash made Of heavy silk.
carries a big white stan and a huge
boQuet for himself.
There are no bridesmaids. but two
godfathers, each of whom presents
to the bride a silk dress. After the
priest has performed the ceremony
the best man takes the bride around
the church and she kisses all her
girl friends goodbye and is finally
carried of to the bridegroom, who
at last gets his wife from the hands
Of the best man.
Then the happy couple return to
their intended home. Bridal tours
are foreign to Servian ideas and only
the very rich or the nobility indulge
In them.
