Frank c. Caswell of the Washing
ton-Idaho Improvement company
and his crew of 40 tree planters
have completed the planting of the
1O0-acre tract in Lewiston Orchards
owned by G. E. Grelle and associates
of Portland and are now engaged In
planting a solid half-section for the
Lewiston Land and Water company.
Planting on such large scale has
never before been done in the Lew
iston valley, nor, indeed, In but few
other irrigated sections of the
Northwest.
The land which is now being
planted lies between the Waha road
and Tammany hollow and comprises
part of what is known as the
Leeper property. 1t lies on the d.
vide between Tammany and the
Clearwater valley. The north half
has a gentle northerly slope and the
south half drains into Tammany.
The two tracts above mentioned
are separated by a tract 100 acres
in extent, a deal for the purchase OF
which is now pending. 1t is expect
ed that this deal will be closed with
in a week and the planting of 1t will
then go forward.
| The 100-acre tract owned by the
Portland syndicate will be made a
model commercial orchard. Sixty
five acres are in apples of the fol-
flowing standard varieties: Yellow
Newton Pippin. 75o; spitzenberg'
1000; Rome Beauty, 500; Jonathan,
500; winesap. 500. There are Sc
apple trees to the acre and 100 peach
trees are planted to each acre al
lfillers-2000 each of Early and Late
Crawfords and 5000 Elbertas.
| Fifteen acres are devoted to Bart
llett Pears, 80 trees to the acre, since
1t is believed that as fine pears car
be raised here as in southern Ore
gon, where they are the most profit
able fruit crop grown. On five acre'
Ring, Lambert and Royal Ann cher
ries are set, so trees to the acre, ant
! on the 10 acres having the creates
southern exposure European grap'
cuttings have been planted. Th'
grape land was picked out by MI
Robert Schleicher and the selection
of varieties was left to his judgment
II Adjoining the grape land nv
acres are planted solid to Triumpl
peaches, 125 to the acre. the idea be
ing that If, after few years, 1t !
found that the land is Particular

PLANTING ORCHARDS in
HUNDRED acre BLOCKS
RARELY EVER ATTEMPTED ON IMMENSE SCALE
THAT NOW ENGAGES ATTENTION IN DEVELOPMENT OF THE
LEWISTON ORCHARD TRACrs-GREAT FUTURE FOR INDUS
TRY UNDER PROMISING CONDITIONS.

planting en- this 320-acre tract was
begun the land was plated, like all
other parts of Lewiston Orchards
.nto five-acre lots, each lot facing
a 60-foot avenue and abutting 20
foot alley. The water distribution
system will follow the alleys, and
each five-acre lot will be served by
a separate pipe. In planting the
fruit trees. five-acre units have
been preserved by breaking the rows
and by giving each lot equal num-
bers of the different varieties of ap-
pies. 1t is the company's plan to
sell these lots on a monthly Install
ment basis to nonresidents and to ar
range with the Washington-Idaho
Improvement company for the care
and development of each orchard
unit up to the point of bearing, or
until such time as the owner sees At
to come here and look after his prop
erty. This arrangement makes 1t
possible for many business and pro-
fessional men to buy small tract Of
orchard land and have 1t developed
at small cost, making payments for
the land and the improvements in
small monthly installments. Al
ready six OF these fve-acre tracts
have been sold to Portland people.
Two of the buyers visited Lewiston
and made their own selections, but
the others left the selection to thn
company. Those who have purchas-
ed are DR.. E. A. Marshall, DR.. H. l.
Keeney. DR.. James c. Zan, Joseph
stanke. George Wilson and H. A
Brewer.
What does this 320-acre orchard
mean for the future of lewiston
On each acre IS apple trees arr
planted. In four years many o.
these will begin bearing and after
the sixth year a yield Of 10 boxes O
fruit to the tree may be depende'
upon; 1900 apple trees. 176,00'
boxes of apples, for which the grow
er will receive a minimum price o
81 per box-$176,0 900 annually com
ing into Lewiston in exchange TO
the products of only $40 acres o
land. Annual returns of over 1870
for each owner of a five-acre lot
Then add to this product of the othe
1000 acres already planted in Lew
, iston Orchards and see what
means for Lewiston.
. It is hard to overestimate the I'm
portance of this work to the Who'll
!, lewiston Charleston valley. 1t mean
that the finest qualities of big re
/ and yellow winter apples will b
raised here in such quantities tina
: the large Eastern buyers will b
: compelled to come here and bid fo
/ the crop. It means that 1t will b
possible to ship one variety and on
I grade Of apples in carload lots
. New York or London. 1t means tha
e apple growers in this valley are g
t ing to get better prices for the
e fruit than ever before.

Plan OPERATION
OF new ROAD
NORTHERN PACIFIC TRAFFIC
MANAGERS PLAN TRIPS OVER
NEW LINES IN CONNECTION
WITH JOINT OPERATION.
cnocial to Evening Teller.


SPOKANE, April s.-A party of
Northern Pacific trafic managers
will leave Spokane tomorrow morn
ing for Lewiston from which point
rims over the joint road to Riparia
.,d vollmer will be made. The par
~ will consist of A. d. Charlton, as
sistant general passenger agent; H.
= Mutt, western general manager:
F. Palmer and A. Beamer, division
superintendent.
While the purpose Of the trip has
mt been announced here, it is un-
derstood the visit Is in connection
With the Joint operation of the Ri
oaria-vollmer road, which is owned
Jointly by the Northern Pacific and
the O. R. & N. railroads.
The plan of operating the Rfparia-
Grangeville line has been under con-
sideration by the two companies for
some time, and the near approach to
completing the line makes necessary
the adoption of some plan by which
the road can be operated. The
ouestion is a most interesting one to
Lewiston for the reason that the
original plan was to establish out
side Yards in the eastern section OF
the city where shops, roundhouse and
other buildings would be located and
the erection of handsome depot
building on Main street opposite the
courthouse. The plans also provided
the road should be operated under
the direction Of holding company
that would establish headquarters In
Lewiston.
The plans for the depot buildins
and the terminal improvements wer;
drawn, but for some reason work wa:
not inaugurated except the excava
tions at the outside yards, from
which point the material for Clear
water fill was secured.
At the present time the o. R. & N
company expect to complete the roat
into North Lewiston during the pres
ent month and the Clearwater bridg'
will be completed by that time. Th;
company expects to inaugurate a res
ular service between Lewiston an
Riparia early in May, and unless tn
Joint plans are completed by th2
time the operation of the line will b
under the direction of the Portlan
Office. The Northern Pacific is nov
operating the Grangeville line as ia
as Vollmer. and 1t is expected tn
road will be completed into Grange
vile by September 1.

school boys They built the barge
themselves and started on their trip
July End, taking a week to come this
far, including a visit in Kansas City I.
The general appearance of the
barge was like a house boat without
the house. In rainy weather and at
nights they use canvas covers.
The boys seemed to be enjoying the
trip, though they said at times it got
bit monotonous. They stopped at
Lexington only long enough to pur'
chase provisions and straw hat
apiece. They left here about fgs
O'Clock p. m. with Jefferson City a;
their next landing.
