Electric Line
Plan is Presented to the Mis-
soula Chamber of Commerce
by John Magee--Committee'
Appointed to Investigate.

! AT meeting of the Missoula cham
Der OF commerce held in that city on
| Monday evening, John Magee of this
place made a good showing for the
proposed electric railroad for the Bit
ter Root valley. In presenting the
facts to that body Mr.. Magee said he
was sure it would be money maker
from the start and should have the
hearty cooperation of the business
people of Missouia and the Bitter Root
valley. In presenting his plan to the
chamber of commerce Mr., Magee said
1t was his idea to organize a stock
company and sell enough common
stock in Mlssoula and towns through
out the valley to pay the preliminary
expense OF securing the right of way,
preparing definite plans for the project
and promoting it in the east. He esti-
mates that the road, which would be
about AZ miles long, would cost in the
neighborhood of 5000, 900.
1t is proposed to run line along
the east side of the Bitter Root river
through the richest part of the valley,
touching every town hut one between
Missoula and Hamilton, and using
most of the right of way recently Sc
cured by George Dougherty. Mr.. Ma
gee would lay 60-pound rails, heavy
enough to provide for both freight and
passenger business, and build such an
excellent roadbed as to be able to run
cars on a 75-nile-an- hour schedule.
He would move several trains per day,
would reduce passenger fares and
increase speed bout SO per cent over,
that of the trans now running through
that region.
He presented rough estimate of the
approximate cost of maintaining the
road and the business that could be
secured. Using these figures as a
basis he figured that the company
would be able to pay from 6 to 7 per
cent to the stockholders and at the
same time give them the satisfaction
of knowing that they were doing much
for the development of this section of
the state. H: said the future possi-
bilities nt thc road were great indeed.
Mr.. MdHe ee referred to what the peo-
building up their city by promoting
projects OF this character. He said
that. after thorough investigation of
the scheme, he had become convinced
that it was one of the strongest prop
osltions that could be found in the
northwest. H. said that he could,
without hesitation, make the statement
that the road could be financed in the
east
Mr. Magee met with very little op-
position from the business men OF
Missoula. The people there see the
benefits to be derived from the pro-
posed road. as we'll as the people of
this place, and an effort should be
made here to assist Mr.. Mage in get
ting his plans perfected. A commit
tee should be appointed by the busi-
ness men and nothing should be left
undone in the way of getting the road
built. The Missoula people have ap-
pointed committee to investigate the
l.. tier, and why not appoint COM
,nittee here? We will share in the
additional prosperity and we should
act at once.

FRUITGROWERS HAVE
GOOD MEETING
New Board Of Directors Chosen
and Stock Subscribed For
On Monday Evening

The meeting of the fruit growers
held at the X. of P. hall last Monday
evening was success, insofar as be-
ing able to organize is concerned
About twenty five representative men
of the valley were present and much
business was gone over. The meeting
was called to order by w. E. McMurry
secretary of the old organization, and
h. w. Nicol was chosen temporary
chairman. AS only four of the old
directors we're present it was decided
te elect new board, so that the busi-
ness of the meeting could be attended
to after adjournment.
The new directors were chosen SO
that each district would be represented
on the board. Following are the
directors chosen: c. M. Allen of
Lo Lo, Henry Buck of Stevensville,
X. w. Nicol of Hamilton, w. B.
Harlan of Como, and Chas. McRae of
Woodside. 1t was decided to adopt the
name of Bitter Root Fruit Growers
Association instead of the Western
Montana Fruit Growers Association.
The question of mem bership and stock
holdings was discussed by several of
those present, AS some wanted to know
how many shares would be allowed
each stockholder. The theory was ad-
vanced that each grower should be
allowed as many shares of the stock of
the corporation as he would care to
take. This was adopted by the meet
ing. The benefits to be derived from
such an organization was discussed at
length. 1t seems to be the general
opinion that all will be benefited alike,
as the smaller grower will receive the
same attention, benefits and protection
as the larger growers of fruit.
The corporation proposes to employ
an expert packer and shipper to be
manager of the concern, look after the
packing, selling and shipping of the
fruit for all of the stockholders that
will sign d yearly contract to let the
corporation handle his fruit. This
was decided upon after long discus
sion of the subject, and is also the
way the crops are handled in the Hood
River country, and should be lust as
practica bic here.
Attorney II, A. O'Hara was called
in during the evening and was re-
quested to give those present few
pointers on the incorporation Of such
concerns. He addressed the meeting
tor few minutes and fully explained
the benefits of such move and
answered many questions in regard to
the matter.
The directors were instructed to en-
ploy an attorney to draw up the incor-
poration papers, to provide money to
file them with the secretary of state.
1t was decided to make Hamilton the
permanent place of business. About
fifty shares of stock was subscribed
for by those present. The stock will
be paid for at the rate of 25 per cent of
the par value within 80 days after the
meeting. The bylaws will be com
piled in a short time and then an
active campaign will commence for
mem bership and sale of stock.
The organization will be incorpo-
rated for $4,000, and divided into
! 900 shares at the par value of $40
each.
