FruitIand the Name
Business Men Name the
New Station
Appropriate Name Selected.

1t being left to the Delta County
Business Mems Association to name
the new sta ion near Read where the
bridge is going in, the board of direct
ors of that body, on Tuesday, after due
deliberation, decided upon "Fruitland"
as beautiful and appropriate name, in
view of the fact that 1T will be the ship
ping point of the great fruit crops of its
splendid tributary orchard country. The
name would seem to be well chosen and
should be accepted as entirely satisfac-
tory to everybody, especially to the
people of the future Fruitland part of
the county. Read station will pre-
sumably be superseded by Fruitland.
