FRUIT CROP IN INLAND
EMPIRE WILL BE BUMPER

Spokane. Wash.-Representa
OF transportation companies predict
that the fruit crops in Washington,
Idaho, oregon and Montana and
along the border in British Columbia
this season will be double the pro-
duction In 1908, the banner year in
the history of the northwest, Esti-
mates for the inland empire alone
range from $4,000 to 10000 cars, OF
which II is expected that about $500
will come from eastern and central
Washington. Shippers in the Yaki-
ma district place the yield there at
from $500 to 1000 cars, and the We
natchee valley looks for fully $500
cars. Crops in Spokane and other
counties in the extreme eastern part
OF this state will also he heavy. Grow
ers in the Lewiston district expect
to harvest from 1850, 900 TO $1,000
600 worth of fruit and other parts
OF northern and southern Idaho also
report the outlook bright for big
yields while indications are that Mon
tana and oregon will have larger
crops than ever before. Fast train
service between points in central
Washington and st. Paul and Chica-
go is promised.
