OPIE READ IN HAMILTON.
Famous Novelist Will Lecture Here
Thursday, November 19.

The people of Hamilton are exceed
ingly fortunate n being able to hear
Opie Read, the famous novelist and
hurnoist, who will lecture at the Lucas
Opera house Thursday, Nov. 10.
No one should miss the opportunity
of hearing this noted character as it
may be the last chance for the people
of this community. Mr.. Read has
signed contract with great theatri-
cal combine to write one play a year
for the next ten years, for which he
receives Sic, 900 per year, aud he will
devote all his time to this work.
There are few living American
story-tellers who can reproduce for us
more perfectly than NJ. Read does
the speech, the mannerisms and the
whole social atm osphere of the rural
south and rural west. His latest lee
ture First One Thing aud Then An
other" is a sparkling gem of humor
and wit, not unmixed with pathos.
Strictly speaking it is not lecture
at all but an informal heart-to-heart
talk that brings the speaker into close
intimacy with his hearer, aud keeps
then roaring with laughter or brush.
ing the tears throughout the evening.
On the platform as in written works,
Mr.. Read shines with brilliance all
his own. Everywhere he is received
with enthusiasm. The indescribable
witchery of his words, the charm of
of his voice and manner, the influence
of his personality, combine to weave
magic spell that holds his audience
enthralled.

MANAGER BROOKS OF FRUIT AS
SOCIATION HEARS OBJECTIONS.
QUALITY OF APPLES IS GOOD
Better Packing and Grading Are Imper-
ative---Letter from Eastern Buyers
Tells Plainly of Conditions.

Manager George F. Brooks of the
ton, who returned last week from
New York City, is going to insist on
better packing and grading of fruit
handled by the association as result
of his trip. He found that the reputa-
tion of the famous Mcintosh Red ap-
pie was suffering in the east because
some inferior fruit has found its way
into shipments that have been made.
The greatest objection Mr.. Brooks
heard made to Bitter Root apples by
the eastern wholesale houses was ths t
they lacked color. Some of the varie-
ties, notably the Wealthy, were picked
too early. High color is the chief re-
quire1nent in marketing fruit. No
complaint was heard about the quality
of the apples; in fact the dealers liked
them, and in many instances bought
them in spite of their color. But it
will be difficult to establish a reputa-
tion for the Bitter Root apple unless
IT is permitted to attain a proper de-
velopment.
Mr.. Brooks found that it will be
necessary to insist on much stricter
regulation in packing and grading.
While in the eastern cities he saw
shipments from Payette, Weiser and
other Idaho towns which, so far as
packing and grading are concerned, !,
greatly outc1assed Bitter Root ship
ments. Some growers evidently have
failed to see the Importance of this.
AS an example carload of A1exanders
was shipped from Hamilton which
varied from LOO to $1.35 box. This
shows a big difference in grad
ing. In spite of these handicaps Mr..
The Western news. [volume] (Stevensville, Mont.) 1890-1977, 1908-11-11

Crooks has secured good prices in
competition with many sections where
better methods prevail. The market
before election was dull, as is usual
but has since greatly improved, and
the association is NOW making
shipments broadcast, some of them
going as far east as Philadelphia and
south to New Orleans.
Following is letter which the as
soclation has received from a large
eastern house, showing the necessity
of better packing and grading:
St. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 8, 1908
B. r. Fruit Growers Assn,
Hamilton, Mont.
Gentle men: We wired you this morn
ing to cancel order for second car Nc
Intosh apples.
N. P. car 14o75 arrived this
great disappointment to us. The

which is a decided disadvantage as

running from the size of crabapple
up to four tier size in the same box
Now this will kill the sale of the apple
quicker than anything else. Quite a
good many of them are knurly and
should not occur in first-ciass car of
apples like the McIutosh Reds, and it
will simply be impossible to establish

unless proper attention is given to

DORE-REDPATH CO.
A bad handicap which the associa-
ton has to contend with is the prac-
tice some growers follow of consign-
ing their apples. The association
sells all fruit outright at stated
price. and the dealer who buys it has
~ SCii al q hidi III dooNC tudt PilCC'
The consigned fruit is shipped to a
commission house in the same market
and the house, being out only the
freight, can greatly undersell the
dealer who bought apples from the
association. This is bound to injure
the reputation of the fruit protected
hU the asSnciafiny1 aud will l;lxau;c
ruin the price. The trouble can be
stopped by patronizing the associa-
ton or by selling at given price and
not taking chances on a commission
house.

making ready to build stores upon the prop

out into The public square something Ike
nine or ten feet. Besides destroying the ap-
pearance OF that corner OF the public square,
It makes very narrow the street leading to
Episcopal church.
The owners of the property are interested
az much in Abbeville as anybody else. and
we have no doubt that they appreciate the sit
uatlon and would gladly make terms with
the city for the needed widening of the
square. We hope, therefore, that the owners
of the property may not be precipitate In
laying foundations tor new buildings. And
we also hope that the city authorities which
have already done 30 much for the town may
not neglect this possible opportunity to make
a great improvement TO the public square.

Strengthened out, now is the time. The In
vestment In dollars would be small compar-
ed with the great improvement. Let the
council act promptly.
