J. B. VALENTINE, OF BRIDGE.
PORT LAND COMPANY, HAS IN
TEREsTED WEALTHY LAND
COMPANY IN ENTERPRISE.

j. B. Valentine, manager OF the
Bridgeport Land company, owners
of an irrigated tract at Bridgeport,
on the Columbia river, was dn the
city last Saturday, and gave out the
news of some big sales of land by
his company, and also the reorgan-
ization of the company
Charles n. CrewsdOn, manage. of
the Outcault Advertising agency OF
Chicago, and we'll known author
of short stories. has just purchased
total of $50 acres of land for s.S-
coo. The purchase consists nf ~
acres of land wa:c1 is already under
irrigation, and IS. acres which is nom
irrigated, but which til" purchaser
expects to put unie4' water soon.
Sam Berry of the Berry Clothing
company, Spokane, has purchased
of land for So. 900. OF this land
e5 acres are already under irri2a-
ton, while the remaining s. viii &c
irrigated next yea. LII OF the non
irrigated land can easily be put m
der irrigation. 1t IS stated that both
purchasers intend to plant The land
TO apples of the best varieties.
The company has also oeen re-or-
ganized and the official board is
composed of Sam Berry of Spokane,
president; J. F. Pershing of Chicago,
vice president and general manager:
j. B. Valentine. Spokane, secretary
and treasurer; c. w. Crewsdon of
Chicago, and Sidney Berry of Spo-
kane, trustees.
This company is going to do some
effective European advertising for
the Inland Empire, with the pur-
pose of creating in the European
cities a demand for the best grades
of apples from this section of the
country.
Ii is the intention to make an mi
tial shipment of ten carloads Of ap-
pies These will go to London,
Par's and Berlin. a portion of this
shipment will be taken from this
valley.
The consignment will be in
charge of a competent man, who will
try to place the apples to the best
advantages possible. In
this way the company expects to
create a big demand for the choicest
product, and to be hereafter able to
ship apples to the chief European
cities. At the present time it is
stated that this market is almost en-
tirely neglected.
1--WE are now getting our consign-
ment ready to ship" states Secretary
J. B. Valentine, "and the initial ship
ment will embrace some of the finest
fruit that has ever been grown in
the northwest Special attention will
be paid to the packing of the fruit,
each apple being wrapped in three
separate papers, and several sheets
of paper being laid between each
layer in the box. In this way we ex-
pect that the fruit will stand even
a rough ocean passage, and still ar
rive in Europe without being bruised
or spoiled in any way
while our main object with the
present shipment is to advertise the
apples, we still expect that the ship
ment will bring us enough to pay all
the cost OF transportation. and the
expenses of the expert who will go
in charge of the shipment"

supplies of cattle to come from the
corn belt region will be a good deal
smaller for the next thirtyd aysfw
smaller for the next sixty to ninety
days "a corn is selling for from 75c@
S1.OO in most sections, and this will
greatly discourage feeding operations.
Thus prospects are very bright for
god, fat range cattle to sell even high
er during the next two months or so,
as buyers will have to fall back on
such offerings to supply their trade,
owing to the lighter supplies to come
forward from the corn belt feed lots.
Range Sheep.
Included in the heavy total run of
$4,000 on the first two commercial
days of the week, was liberal pro-
portion of lambs from the western
range, and the bulk of these sold
25c@35c lower than late last week,
while sheep and yearlings went weak
to lOc off, owing to their more mod
crate numbers. The best lambs Of
tered were from the Thomas Good
ing range in Idaho, these numbering
upwards of 1900 head, averaging "a
pounds and going at $3.50, we max
ing this sale. Bulk of selling was al
this figure and down to 5000. Feed
ing lambs reached $500, we making
this transaction for Roth & Brown,
of Idaho, being 10c higher than any
other feeding lambs have brought
here this season. Bulk sold at $5.35
@$5.5O. Top for yearlingss was
$485, we landing the Thomas Good
ing offerings at this price, other fat
lots going at $475, bulk from that
price down to $465. Both Wyoming
and Montana wethers made $4.4O, we
landing the Slaughter & Patzold Of
ferings from the former state at this
price, while we sold feeding wethers
at $4.15 for this firm, also top price.
Best mutton ewes brought $425, we

ministration Of the agricultural and

the preservation and conservation of
the soil.
To Meet in Helena.
The president has appointed ma
tional conservation commissions, and
our cooperation with such commits
sons and the general purposes there
of would seem advisable, to any ex-
tent not in conflict with the special
interests of the state.
A meeting of the commission is
hereby called to be held in my office
in Helena on October 2, 1908, at 10
a. M, at which time and place the
forestry commission will be in ses-
sion, and the two commissions will
discuss the questions for which their
respective appointments have been
made joint meeting will, am sure,
be profitable.
There is no provision of law pro-
viding for the appointment of this
commission, and the members thereof
must serve without compensation. I
trust, however, that the legislature in
its wisdom may see fit to pay the
commissioners named, their expenses
necessarily incurred in the perform
ance of their duties as members Of
such commission.

Minneapolis, Aug. 1o.-Gov. John

Minneapolis, Aug. 1o-Gov John
A. Johnson was renominated for gov
ernor by the democratic state con-
vention today Following the men,
ton of his name by Mayor Lawler
of St. Paul the convention stampeded
for Johnson. A wild demonstration
ensued. Standards were waved and
the delegates, headed by brass band,
marched through the hall.
A messenger was sent to notify the
governor by telephone. The return
of the messenger was awaited with
suspense, as the governor previously
had stated emphatically that he would
not run again. The convention, how
ever, persisted in ignoring the declar-
ation As an evidence of the almost
unanimity of feeling for Johnson the
hall was conspicuously decorated
with Johnson portraits, and during
the excitement these were torn down
and waved by both spectators and
delegates.
When asked tonight if he would
accept the nomination, Governor
Johnson said:
IT have not been officially notified
of my nomination, so I have nothing
to say"
The demonstration continued for "a
minutes.
At the first mention of Governor
Johnson's name, the delegates forgot
0hS f%
be considered, and went into frenzy
of enthusiasm. The aisles and stage
were quickly filled with delegates,
yelling like Indians and executing
war dances upon the press tables
all the while repeating the name,
"Johnson." Ten minutes, 20 minutes,
80 minutes, passed, and there were
no lull in the tumultuous scene. a
photograph Of Johnson was seized
from its place on the platform and
borne aloft by the delegates.
Meanwhile the band had struck up,
"Marching Through Georgia" and
quickly following, in line with county
banners waving wildly, procession
was formed which many times en-
circled the hall. Banners were forced
into the hands Of ladies among the
spectators on the platform, and they
we're forced to join the yelling throng.
But only because there is limit to
exertion of lung and limb did the
demonstration gradually subside.
Owing to the unsettled condition
of the convention it was decided that
a committee, to be composed of one
member from each judicial district,
make recommendation for the filing
of all places on the ticket except tnat
of governor
The following recommendations
were made BY this committee, and
adopted: ,.
Lieutenant Governor - Julius }.
Reiter, of Rochester.
Secretary of State-Richard i.
Lamb, of Clayton.
State Treasurer-Henry P. Nelson
of Hibbing.
Attorney General-M. G. Matthews

Railway and Warehouse Commis-
s;oners-Hans P. Bjorge, OF Otter
tail Robert Nee, of Rice county.
State Senator Ray, Of Farrington'
was the temporary chairman. He
said: -.
"The platform of the republican
nominee for governor in this state
like that of Taft. means absolutely
nothing. The only argument ne mas
is to lay the extravaganza OF repuo-
