generally with considerable strength,
the Yates faction is modest in claim

that the TWO Chicago papers backing

Mr.. Bruner. in speaking of the story
appearing in the Chicago daily papers
this morning, that Mayor Busse end
eight other republican leaders have

the impression intended is that the

ment of those nine leaders will not
amount to much when placed against

seriously taken, the reaction would be
overwhelmingly in favor Of Yates

THE LAWYERS ARE
MAKING WATER
[ rial Of Willow Creek Cases
Engrosses Judge Web
ster's Attention This
Week.

Having Gaished with the testimony
in the Sweeeuey water case Saturday
and taken the matter under advise
ment, Judge Webster reconyeued dis
trict court here Monday and the Will
low creek water case was imm ediately
called for trial. This case is entitled
John A. Hull ct al VS.. Edward Apple
bury ct al. Next to the Burnt Fork
suit this is the most important water
case that has been tried thus far in
Ravalli county. More than so liti-
gants are involved and the cost of the
neys who have been retained, will
probably approximate $5OOG-whicla

One would think, seeing SO many
a meeting of the Pioneers Associa-
ton was in progress. Among the
witnesses called are John Lafontaine,
who testified that water had been di-

Oscar Judd, who, according to the
records, filed the first appropria-
tiou of water from Willow creek in
1879. Prior to that time nobody
thought it worth while to record a
right, as there was plenty of water
for all. Jacob Golf Of FL elena, Levi
Wilkerson of Anaconda, John Moon
of Gibbonsville, Ida, and M. M.
Printz of Darby are also among the
early settlers who have "been SUBJ
poenaed.
This case began Monday morning
and Judge Webster hopes to have ala
the testimony in by Saturday night.
The principal issue involved is with
regard to the transfer of early rights
by people whose land has since been
covered by river bitches and who no
longer use the creek water, having
sold their rights to others. The value
of these transferred rights hinges on
the amount of water originally ap-
propriated and used by the first
owners.

Much Activity Reported.

Great activity IN real estate is an
ticipated throughout the Bitter Root
! valley this year. The big advertising
campaign carried on by the b. r. D.
1. Co. is bearing fruit and hundreds of
homeseekers are headed this way. Z
The local real estate firms are short
ly to be reinforced by several new
concerns. Among others Sidney M.
Ward is preparing to open an office to
dispose of 2900-acre tract of land
owned by his father, G. w. Ward, on
Camas.
A we'll defined rumor is in circula-
ton that Mrs. Daily has decided to sell
off about 10000 acres of the Bitter
Root stock farm, including all land
north of the road running east from
Riverside and certain tracts on Skal-
kaho. No confirmation can be secured
at the local Office. Supt. Shannon is
now in New York. He is expected
back about March 1, at which time
some interesting announcements may
be made.
Two important deals in Bitter Root
reality were consummated last week.
The sale of 24O acres of the John
Sears ranch, including 40-acre bear
ing orchard, west of Woodside, to r.
A. O'Hara was confirmed By the court.
The property was disposed of at pri-
vate sale by the administrator. The
consideration was $4,000.

NEW ORCHARDS TO
BE PLANTED
From Three to Four Hundred
Thousand Trees To Be
Planted This
Year.

Fruitgrowing is rapidly becoming
the leading industry in the Bitte
Root valley. Orcharding is such d
nice, clean business, and, given prop
'er attention and care in the selection
of varieties, intelligent cultivation
pruning, packing, ETC., no other avo,
cation in this section affords such sure
and profitable returns,
Last year, despite the labor prob
lem, the fact that the fruitgrowers'
association had just been organized
and was not yet working smoothly,
and, finally, the onslaught of the panic
which para(yzed all business and de-
moralized prices of all commodities,
the uptodate commercial orchardists
reaped Immense profits. in Instances,
as Ben Kress, w. J. Teidt, Henry
Grover, ID. c. Bass and other we'll
known fruitgrowers will testify, the
orchards yielding from $500 to $1,000
per acre.
AS natural consequence the bust
ness has received a tremendous iru :
petus Conservative estimates place
the number of new trees that will be
set out next spring in the Bitter Root
valley at all the way from three to
-FOUR hundred thousand.
The Missoula nursery alone has
orders for 100000 trees, all the SIN all
home nurseries have sold practically
all their stock, and many orders have
been booked by the nurseries of other
states.
The largest new orchard PROJECT is
that of the Como Orchard Land COM
pany, organized by w. l. Moody, and
of which 0. c. Cooper of the Citizens
State Bank is president, aud Prof r.
w. Fisher, J. o. Read and w. J.
Teidt are advisory directors. This
company has purchased 1000 acres of
land on the Como bench and is pre-
pairing to plant it with apple trees of
the leading commercial varieties and
bring them into bearing. This prop
erty has been plated and has already
been placed on the market at $3.50 per

Reeser of Mssoula consumated the
purchase of the large rauch of P. H.
Edwards, formerly known as the old
John Summers ranch, situated about
one mile southeast of Hamilton, ag-
gregating in the neig ghborhood of 400
| acres. The consideration at this time
has not been made public, but it is un-
derstood to have been way up in the
thousands of dollars. The property
lies south of Hamilton aud east of the
Hart addition to Hamilton and be-
tween the Hart addition and the Daly
ranch, and is widely known as one of
the hnest and most productive places
in the Bitter Root valley. The whole
tract is composed of a rich, deep loa,n
and has an abundance of water for
irrigation from the earliest rights of
Skalkaho creek, dating back to 1864.
The Hart addition to Hamilton is
plated into tracts of from one to Ave
acres each, upon which there have
been many beautiful homes erected
and where are to be found some of
the finest orchards and gardens in the
vailed. In order to form an estimate
of the values of land in that i,nme-
diate section, it is stated that these
tracts have been sold and are now
selling at from $3.50 to $3.50 per acre,
and in one instance a 5O-acre tract.
without improvements was purchased
at price of $4,000.
1.-The Missoulian's correspondent
also states that while in Hamilton on
Saturday last Mr.. Winstanley an
nounced his intention of opening a
large real estate Office at that place,
and that his firm intended plating
part of the property purchased in two
and-a-half and five acre tracts and
placing it on the market at at early
date.
''It was not until late last night that
Mr.. Winstanley could be reached by
telephone at his home, on the south
side. When informed of the report of
his purchase, he confirmed the story

and stated also that he had EMPLOYED
a civil engineer at Hamilton, H. S.
LORD, to survey and plat the property
| and that the surveyors would be on
the ground on Monday morning to
commence operations. In reply to in
quiries as to the causes leading to his
taxing up such a large proposition
Mr.. Winstauley said that, owing to
the very extensive advertising OF she
resources of the Bitter Root valley AIT
through the middle western states
during the the past year, many we'll
to-do people are now coming into the
valley to ascertain and verify the truth
of the advertised statements of the
abundant yields of both fruit and
other crops, and very few Of these peo-
pie, after being convinced that the
lands of the Bitter Root valley will
produce larger crops and better
quality of fruits and grains than has
been published, leave the valley with
out investing therein. That so many
actual sales have taken place within
the past few months as to warrant his
opening offices in Ha milton for the
handling of farm property, and that
very few of these incoming homeseek-
ers and investors stop over in Missou-
la, but go right through to Hamilton,
which place is probably better known
IN the east than is Missoula. the uni
yersity city of Montana.''
