MIR. Little for 10 years past has been
court stenographer at Pierre and has
accumulated some nice property there
and in British Columbia. About seven
weeks ago he first visited Hamilton
and spent several days looking over
the valley. From here he went to
Idaho; to the Wenatchee, Yakima and
other Washington valleys; to Hood
River and other Oregon valleys, and
to British Columbia He then re-
turned to Pierre and after weighing
the advantages of all the localities he
had visited in his mind he determined
to locate in the Bitter Root Coming
here he again carefully looked over
the valley and finally bought the Helm
place, preferring, he says, to reside
near the county seat. Already he is
one of the most enthusiastic Bitter
Root boosters in the bunch

AUSTRIAN TAXES UMBRAGE AT
SIGHT OF NAME ON
PICTURE.
FEARED It WAS HIMSELF
His Own Name Was Max. and Film
Showing Antics of Another
kindles His Wrath.
Max Makes a Touch"

|
The foregoing title of motion pic
ture run at the Family theater Tues
day night so provoked the wrath of
Max Shultz, an Austrian laborer, that
| he threatened the life of Manager
George Reeves. Shultz believed that
the picture was a caricature of him
self because the chief actor had the
same name as he The thought so tor
mented him that he determined to de-
stroy the vile burlesque
Shultz saw the program at the Fam
lily Tuesday evening with lady COM
panion, and when the "Max-Makes-a-
Touch film was thrown on the cur-
tain, his friend, he says, was so in
considerate as to laugh at him. This
outraged his pride. He felt that no one
had the right to name any picture
after him, and he wasn't quite sure
the scenes were not of himself.
Wednesday morning he went back
to the theater and told Manager
Reeves that he must not run the OBJ
jectionable film any more. as his own
name was Max. The puzzled man
ager explained that many dogs are
named Max, and that, moreover. the
film was made many, many miles
away and had been exhibited all over
the country. The explanation did not
appease the aggrieved man, however;
he demanded the eXtirpation of the
film.
Then Manager Reeves lost his patti
ence and the conversation was ter
minated. Later in the day, however.
Shultz appeared at the sheriff's office
asking for the arrest of Reeves He
was armed with gun and long dag
ger, evidently intended to redress his
wounded feelings. His tale was heard,
and he was himself taken into custody
for examination into his mental capa-
city. He was examined adiudegd in
sane, and ordered committed to the
state asylum at Warm Springs.
Before he attended the Family the
ater Tuesday night he had shown no
tendency toward mental alteration,
and it is believed that the picture So
preyed upon his credulity that he
temporarily lost the light of reason.

pete with Hood River varieties, for
the reason that Wenatchee growers
have not outgrown the habit of in
cluding inferior products in their
shipments.
Local Association Would Pay.
When asked if a local fruit assoc
iation could be made successful, Mr..
Crossley said one could be made so
popular that all growers would want
to join it. The label would have first
to be established in the markets of
the country as the badge of quality,
and after this recognition is secured
growers shipping under the label
would realize such large profits from
their products that they would no
longer encourage independent move
ments.
Mr.. Crossley commended the action
of the Valley Mercantile company in
packing and guaranteeing it's own
shipments.

TO HANDLE ALL FRUIT FOR
WHICH THERE IS ANY
DEMAND.
SHIPPED CARLOAD YESTERDAY
All Fruit Is Sold Under Their Label
and Packed by Them-CrOssley
on Inspection Trip.

The first carload of apples to be
sent out of the Bitter Root this year
was shipped from Hamilton yester-
day by the Valley Mercantile COM
pany. The car consisted of Yellow
Transparents and Transcendent crabs
and was consigned to Helena.
Stepping into the breach caused by
the failure of the Bitter Root Fruit
Growers association, the Valley Mer-
camille company is handling fruit on
its own account. The fruit is bought
outright, packed by the company's
packers and sold under the company's
label. 4 force of - packers is kept
busy at the warehouse, near the
Northern Pacific station in Hamilton.
The company guarantees it's pack
to stand up with the standard packs
of the west. The apples are careful
ly graded and warranted to be true
to name. Fancy apples are wrapped
in paper before being placed in the
box Two grades of apples are hand
led, fancy and choice.
Label Stands for Quality.
By packing it's own fruit the COM
pany can guarantee the contents of
each box. This policy enables it to
sell the product in the best markets,
as the standing of the company is
such that it's label carries great

signments sent out under it's label

Crossley in Valley.
William CrOssley, representing the
d. Crossley & Sons, of New York, VISA
in the valley during the week inspect
ing the apple crop. He spent two
days looking over the valley orchards,
leaving yesterday for Spokane.
D. Crossley & Sons are the largest
They handle fruit in Liverpool, Lon
don, Glasgow, Manchester, Hull and
Hamburg and sell largely in the con-
tinental cities of Europe. They have
not dealt in Bitter Root apples to any
extent, but are looking for an oppor-
tunity to handle some of the best
valley products.
Hood River apples, Mr.. Crossley
says, are the best in the world, be-
cause they have the reputation. The
Hood River label stands for quality,
not only in this country, but in Eu-
rope. In his office in New York city
Mr.. Crossley has a framed acknowl-
edgement from the late King Edward
-testifying to the superior quality of
the Hood River apple. Mr.. Crossley,
however, does not believe that the
reason for this tremendous popular
ity lies solely in the apple; he thinks,
on the contrary, that it is due to the
fact that none but the best apples are
sent out as Hood River products
