SMALL DAMAGE TO FRUIT.
Fifteen Counties of Western Michigan
Report Good Conditions

Traverse City. May 9.--Accurate re-
ports from practical men in Is coun-
ties on the western side of Michigan,
made at the recent meeting of the
Western Michigan development bur
eau, show that the fruit crop in the
counties heard from will be normal.
and I'm some cases better than the av-
erage In no case was there a discour-
aging note heard and the result OF the
roll call of the counties has greatly
pleased growers and shippers of the
whole section.
Earlier reports as to damage to
cherries are modified by later and
more reliable returns. and the most
that can be said of damage Is that
in some limited districts it may reach
10 per cent. Some growers say that a
little moro frost would have aided in
thinning out the blooms and would
have been more satisfactory in some
respects.
All the growers interviewed declare
that the cherry crop forms only a
terth or fifteenth of the total fruit
crop in any event and attach no i'm
por,ance to damage stories.
The remarkable growth of the fruit
Industry i'm western Michigan is shown
in the fact that more than 100000
trees have been shipped into this Sec
ton b. nurseries this spring. One
grower attested to Secretary Gibson of
the development bureau that he could
have shipped twice as many trees II
he had had them ready.

FIRE AT PHILLIPSvILLE
DESTROYS FRAME BCILDING

Fire at $3.50 o'clock this morning at
Phillpsvlle destroyed the two-story
frame building owned by William
Nordstrom. and occupied by William
Crosse, Jr., as saloon and residence.
The loss is total, not any of the con-
tents of the structure being saved. In
addition a stable at the rear of the
property was burned.
The fire was discovered by the
choreman who aroused the Crosse
family, the inmates escaping in their
nightclothes and just in the nick OF
time. Their escape is considered
very narrow one. The flames spread
rapidly and as there is no fire protec-
ton at that location nothing could be
done to check the blaze.
1t Is not known how the fire started.
The loss is placed at $4,000.
