YOU We cannot help ourselves ex-
cept by helping every member of our
organization. We can weaken a cause
of this kind by failing to give it our
hearty support. In fact the only
thing that could seriously weaken an
institution of this kind would be lack
of support by the growers. Mistakes
might be made in the starting or
operation of the organization, but
their effect could only be temporary t
the growers unanimously come for
ward and support the organization and
give us their advice and help. Nothing
can prevent us from materially bene-

tions and avoiding the conditions that

operations have proven failure.
| Think of a business enterprise as large
as the fruit growers OF the Bitter Root
| valley trying to operate without a
head. 1t is all one piece of ground.
We all raise apples, pears, cherries,
berries, etc. We ali sell them. Think
what it would mean if a business
manager thoroughly in touch with the
markets of the world directed the
handling of all this fruit just as
though the valley was one immense
orchard, Do you realize what could
thus be done? # not, Investigate and

cannot contract for because there is
no means of getting them segregated

means of securing these results. Can
you as fruit grower afford to turn 1t

Do not say lit would be all right if

! by the fruit growers, and it is for you
and everyone in the fruit raising bus
mess to get in and see that it is run
right, and if every fruit grower will
appoint himself a committee of one to
see that this is done, the name Bitter
Root valley will become a synonym
for the finest fruit, in color, quality
and quantity on the markets of the
| country.
The difference between the Hood
River fruits and those of the Bitter

1t has been demonstrated in every
fruit growing district in Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, California, and Colo
RADIO, that an association of the fruit
growers working under a manager
who is employed on fat salary and
who holds his position under d board
OF directors composed of and elected
by the fruit growers, and who under
stands that his hold upon the mana
gership depends upon the results pro
duced for the grower, is the only sue
cessful method that has yet been found
to enable both large and small grow
ers to reach the best markets, receive
the highest prices for their goods, get
the best freight rates, and receive
their supplies such as boxes, nails.
paper. etc, ETC., at carload rates. And
instead of being a small competitor of
your neighbor in a local market, you
become partner in large wholesale
business that enters the markets of
the world and places your products in
the best condition where they are most
needed and at a time and place where
they will secure for you the best pos
Sible results that can be obtained for
that season.
1t has also been proven that it re-
quires organized effort to enforce the
laws governing insect pests and thus
secure for us the condition which to-
day is our strongest recommendation
namely:
APPLES WITHOUT A WORM,
also a uniform pack, and by the COM

produce carloads of each variety
against which mixed cars cannot COM

of this state? Who can produce fact

and every country on earth?
Why fall back and wait on others to

sawyers S45; leaders and teamsters $50
per month. A horizontal increase of
IS per month is demanded.
Superintendent J. E. Totman of the
A. c. M. Co. lumber department re-
fuses to say anything for publication
regarding the situation.
Committeeman Breen, representing
the unions says simply that the men
will insist upon the increase in wages
and will not tolerate the contract idea.
Members of the local unions claim
that the strike was precipitated by the
shifty and evasive tactics of President
John h. Toole of the Amalgamd dted
timber companies. They say that all
other classes of labor having been
granted an increase in wages the
lumberjacks feel entitled to some con-
slderatlon too, and, accordingly, a
committee was delegated to conduct
the negotiations. The committee was
referred to MIR. Too}e. For weeks
the committee sought to bring the
III alter to d CouClusit of some sort,
whereupon Mr.. Toole ,isappeared and
none OF his office attaches could tell
where he had gone. A efforts to find
him were unavajlin,. The strike
order followed. The men have lost
all confidence in Mr.. 1'oohe and now
propose to lay tho m"tter before Mr.,
Ryan, head of the A,lalgamated in
terests in Montana and who has been
so einlnently successful in adjusting
all previous difficulties between his
companies aud thr'r employees.

Big LEAD OF GRAY

Uncovered in the Ore Finder
Mine Near Victor--New
Company Organized
for $1,OOO,OOO.

Late reports from the Ore Finder
Company's properties show a decided
Improvement both in quality and size
of the ore bodies with each days work.
The ore is gray copper carrying high
values in silver. The lead is true
fssure in granite formation and is
from six to eight feet wide and be-
coming wider as depth is attained.
That the owners have faith in the
property is evidenced from the fact
that two shifts will be employed from
this time on, nine men being now on
the pay roll.

twenty-five cents per share, the pro-

mine on the two hundred foot level
where large body of valuable ore
has been opened. This sum is ex-
pected to put the property on paying
basis as ore shipments may now be
| made as soon as the ore can be broken
down and taken out of the mine.
At meeting of the board of direct
ors of the Ore Finder Mining Com
pany last week, the stock of the COM
pany was purchased by the Ore Finder
! Copper Mining Company. The OBJ

the enlargement of the working CAPT

development of the mine may be push
ed in the Immediate future. The
capital of the new company is 81 900,

in the treasury, and will be placed
upon the market, and the money real
lied from the sale of these will be
utilized in purchasing new machinery
and to further develop the mine.

GAME LAWS ARE
COMPILED
But Few Changes Made-Nc
Fishing Licenses Required
By Residents-Non-
Residents Licenses.

In a few days Game Warden Scott
will have ready for distribution in
pamphlet form complete compilation
of the game laws as revised by the
Tenth legislature. Every two years
these pamphlets have been issued in
convenient form and have been very
handy for sportsmen and ranchers in
all parts of the state. Many requests
from eastern states have also been
received for copies.
There are few changes made in the
game laws by the last legislature.
The greatest change was made in those
dents of the state no longer require
licenses before they can fish. Resi-
dent hunting licenses emitting the
holder to nuut both big and small
game cost one dollar.
The Legislature created a new
license called the NONRESIDENT fish
ing license" Formerly, if a non-resi-
dent desired to fish in the state, even
for only one day, the privilege cost
him $40. Under the law as amended,
| he can fish in Montana by securing a
| license costing one dollar; can hunt
small and feathered game and fish by
securing a license costing $40; and can
| hunt any of the game ANIMALS or birds
and fish by securing license costing
$500
Under the new regulations no resi-
dent or nonresident can secure a ship
| ping permit 70 ship game out of the
state, unless he is the holder of resi-
dent or nonresident license. License
| can now be secured without appearing
| personally before the parties issuing
them.
In the game laws proper there were
practically two changes-one abolish
hing the close season on antelope and
| the other extending the open season
ber IS.
For a number of years antelope have
been protected the year around and
consequently they have largely in
creased in number and in certain
parts of the state have become very
numerous. One antelope only can be
killed during the open season.
The open season on every species of
game except deer, begins September l
and closes December l. For deer the
open season begins September l and
ends December IS. Not more than
three can be killed by an individual
in one open season.
Under a new law passed by the last
legislatur it is unlawful for any
minor under the age of fourteen to
carry or use any firearms of any de-
scription, except when such child is
accompanied by parent or guardian.
Parents or guardians who allow their
children to violate the provisions of
the law, upon conviction, shall be
punished for committinf a msde-
meanOr.
