JOHNSTON BROS. ARE
DOING THINGS
Enterprising Real Estate
Agency Has Plated Choice
Residence District.

Johnston Bros. are doing things
along south First and Second streets.
Last fall they acquired about four
blocks, bordered by First and Second
streets and DeSmet avenue. The lots
had been used as a dumping ground
for wood and did not present a very
slightly appearance. All this has been
changed. The ground was cleared,
leveled and much of it plowed and
seeded. The streets and alleys have
been graded and cement walks are
being laid fronting all the lots. The
water mains reach every lot and a
number of residences are IN course of
construction.
Oliver Blood, the we'll known fruit
grower, and John E. Albright, recent
arrival from Dakota, are each build
ing $500 residences, J. G. Moore has
the foundation laid for handsome
dwelling, and B. F. Heavilin of Sleep
ing Child Springs and A. H. Downing,
the nurseryman, have purchased lots
and expect to build this season. A. L.
Johnston, w. B. Johnston and o. B.
Legg are also planning to build here.
All these residences will be strictly
modern and, since the lots, 3Ox140, are
sold in pairs, thus giving ample space
between the houses, resulting in mini
mum insurance rates, a very desirable
residence district is being added to

FOR THE PROMOTION OF THE IN
TERESTS OF THE INDUSTRY.
A SELLING COMPANY TOO
Is Proposed by Messrs. Moody Ind Fer
auson-Plan is Indorsed by Asso-
citation.

Progress is being made in the mat
ter of establishing selling agencies for
Bitter Root produce. Following the
collapse of the old Bitter Root Fruit
growers association a meeting of fruit
growers was held in this city on April
S, at which a committee consisting of
W. o. Fisk, F. c. Stevens. W. E. Nc
Murry, J. E. Totman, ]. o. Read and
Chairman H. M. Sloan was appointed
Meanwhile, on Thursday eveningW.
I. Moody and E. M. Ferguson met
with the executive board of the Cham
Der of Commerce and the incorpora-
tion of a selling company to be capital
lied at $50, 900 was proposed. Messrs.
Moody and Ferguson both expressed
the conviction that this plan must ulti-
mately be the solution of the problem
of providing markets. Such COM
pany working in harmony withthe fruit
growers association is bound to prove
effective. Mr.. Moody suggested that
by advertising Bitter Root products
along the same general lines employed
in advertising Bitter Root land aud
which has resulted in attracting tide
of immigration, of the very best class
and the investment here of millions of
dollars, would undoubtedly prove effec-
tive. Mr.. Ferguson, who has large
holdings of Bitter Root land and who
was for tour years president of the
Western Jobbers association and one
of the largest produce handlers in
America and knows the markets and
the game thoroughly, e.tered to CO.
ness affairs will permit, in conducting
the enterprise. The proposed COM
pany would buy direct from the grower,

paying the market price in cash Tor
the produce and in turn would market
the same t'under seal" BY a system
of advertising and delivering the
goods" A demand for Bitter Root pro-
duce would be created in hundreds of
markets. The proposition was dis
cussed at considerable length and was
favorab1y received by the committee
although no action was taken further
than to arrange for its presentation at
the meeting of fruit growers to be
held the following Saturday.
On Saturday Messrs. Moody and
Ferguson were unavoidably absent.
Their proposition was discussed, how
ever, and on motion COM
mittee consisting of Miles Romney,
w. B. Harlan and George Thacher
was appointed to draft resolutions
voicing the sentiments of the fruit
growers assembled. This committee
reported the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this meeting of fruit growers of the
Bitter Root valley that we welcome
the organization in the valley or the
advent into the valley of selling
company which will not only help us
in broadening and strengthening the
markets for our products but will also
assist in the education of the growers
as to the best methods of growing,
picking and packing our fruits and
other products and we assure any such
company of our hearty support and
cooperation.
Meanwhile, on motion of Mr.. Nc
Murry the articles of incorporation of
the new Bitter Root Fruit association
were adopted.
From the reports it was ascertained
that fund of $4,000 had been raised
for orchard protection.
On motion of Mr.. Stevens the mem
bers of the several soliciting COM
mittees were delegated and all other
local fruit growers were invited to
visit the scene of the demonstrations
being carried on by State Inspector
Dean in the orchards ner Carlton.
