CONTRACT LET FOR
100000 APPLE
TREES
Bitter Root District Irrie cation
Company Will Commence
to Dig Next Saturday
Afternoon.

The reputation of the Bitter Root
valley has long since been established
as fruit growing region second to
none in the whole northwest, which
has become by far the best fruit
growing region in the world. Crop
returns, quantity and quality, are to-
day equal 10 anything that can be
shown in such valleys as Yakima,
Wenatchee and Hood River. And yet
orcharding has only made a begin
ming. This fact is particularly we'll
emphasized by the recent contract for
apple trees made by the Bitter Root
District Irrigation company. An
order for 400, 900 trees OF four standard
varities have been placed with W. E.
McMurray. They are to be delivered
in the spring of 1908 and 1909, and will
be planted on the east bench lands
1t was the original plan of the COM
pany to set out larger number, but
they were unable to get them at
present, as they will plant only home
grown trees. They are considering,
however, placing an order for 100000
additional trees with the Missoula
Nursery company to be delivered in
the spring of 1909, making total of
$40, 900 trees.
These trees will be set out in two or
three different tracts which the COM
pany has selected for that purpose,
and they will be properly looked after
by a competent orchardist. The COM
trees, but are setting them out after a
careful examination of the possi bIlities
of raising fruit on the bench lands
east of the river. When the company's
plans are completed, it will have one
of the largest apple orchards in the
| west, if not in the world.
The company is now getting ready
to commence active construction work
on the big irri cation ditch. The
steam shovels that have arrived are
being taken to the survey-line, and
men are here from the east to superin-
| tend the starting of them. By Satur-
day afternoon of this week the dirt
| will commence to fly. This is one of
the largest individual projects ever
started and the largest project that
has to do with tried and proved fruit
| land, and it will mean much to the
people OF this section. The company
will employ about rs men during the
next 13 months, and the work will be
pushed as rapidly as possible. Teams
are now hauling supplies to Lake
Como and Sleeping Child creek and
men are being employed to do the
work of building camps.
| When completed the ditch will fur
nish water for about $4,000 acres of
land in the Bitter Root valley. The
main water supply will be Lake Como,
about II miles south of Hamilton. A
75-foot dam will be constructed to i'm
pound the flood waters. This indie
pendent supply is one of the best pos
sible and is absolutely proof against
shortage of water.

Helena, Feb. 19.-The railroad COM !
mission bill passed the senate today
with only one dissenting vote, all of
the democrats getting in line for the
bill when the final vote came. The
house concurreu in the senate amend
ments and the bill will be laid before
the governor in the morning for his
approval or veto. 1t is rumored that
the governor will allow the bill to be-
come law without action, in view of
the unanimous vote of the senate dem
ocrats for the bill. He has FIVE days
from the time he receives the bill to
act upon it, otherwise it will become
law.
Helena, Feb. 17.-The event of the
week having to do with the railroad
commission bill was the notice given
in the house yesterday afternoon by
Shaw, Tudor and Weed, the authors
of the bill, of their intention to intro
duce bill next week giving the people
of the state the right under the
referendum clause of the constitution
to vote upon the measure. If this is
of Montana will have been called upon
to avail themselves of the initiative
and referendum.
The discussion in the house Thurs
day in committee of the whole. over
the Marshall anti-pool selling bill
brought out the liveliest debate thus
far witnessed in the legislature. The
author of the bill aided by Scallon,
MacAuley and others, sought to have
the measure reported for passage in its
original shape. Miller of Park, Dun
can, Weed and others objected, con
tending that the proposition to license
pool selling at race tracks and not
elsewhere was in sense class legisla-
ton.
The policy of the department of the
interior in dealing with the public
lands received attention in the house,
on the subject. in which protest is
made against the holding up of
patents
Now that the joint steering commit
tee has been appointed, it is expected
more prog ress will be made in the dis
position of pending measures. The
steering committee will take charge OF
all bills and decide which shall be
given preference. Three hundred and
forty-seven bills have been introduced
in the house. The senate is within one
bills having been introduced in that
body. 1t is not expected more than
twenty five or thirty more measures
will be introduced during the balance
of the session in the upper house.
During the week the house estab-
lished new records in the matter of
putting in longer hours. The law
makers of that body on the whole cou
| tinued pretty busy from Monday
morning until Friday afternoon. Quite
| a number who did not go to MiSsoula
or their homes were about the house
attending to public business.
Many mem bers went to Missoula
Friday afternoon to attend the
Founders day exercises at the uniyer-
sity Saturday. President ]. M. Ham
ilton of the agricultural college,

| There is a prospect of some

and Orson Smith now has a.big
deal on that embraces the con.

Crown Companies. 1t is propos-
ed that a new organization be
formed, andMr. Smith has monied
men to take hold of and develop
the property just as soon as some
sort of an understanding can be
arrived at. Mr.. Smith says that
if the Blacksmith Fork prospects
were in Nevada they would be
worth 100000.
The Republican, and many
others, have advocated the idea
of the people of this valley stand.
ing back Of a single proposition
and passing others by. until it is
demonstrated whether we have
mineral on the east side. We be-
lieve it would mean more for all
prospects and all people than this
everlasting dabbling in this, that

If Orson Smith can rig up any
kind Of respectable looking deal,
and get monied men to bind them
selves up in a way that will in
