Clifton, Fruita, Delta, Montrose, Pa
onia, Hotchkiss and other fruit ship
ping points of this district within the
next three weeks, according to an
nouncements made this morning by
one of the highest officials of the
Denver and Rio Grande railway com
pany.
However, not less than 5000 cars
will be needed between now and
November 10. TO handle the bulk of
the great fruit crop of the western
slope. Fifteen hundred ears will be
just half enough.
Manager John F. Moore. of the
Grand Junction Fruit Growers asso-
citation, is authority for the estimate
that 5000 cars will be needed to
handle the remainder of the apple
crop of the western slope and reports
from all points in the district indi-
cate that his estimate is not too high.
When informed that instead of
| 500 cars 300 cars would be needed
the railroad officials announced that
they WOuiu uO every IN lhtii

the fruit shipping points of the slope

ager Horace w, Clarke, of the Rio
Grande, will go to Chicago at once
to confer with the Armour people and
other car people regarding the situa-
tion and to impress upon them the
necessity of sending cars by the hun
dreds to this section every week dur
ing the next month
1t Is reported that over 1200 cars
will reach the western sloDe within
the next few days which will bring
great relief to the fruit growers and
prevent any heavy loss.
The Grand Junction Fruit Grow
ers' association secured a total of
about II cars yesterday and last night
and secured about Il dozen today. The
fruit growers are being limited in
their deliveries to the association.
When it is realized that the grow
ers have not yet begun to harvest the
