ORGANIZATION
KOOTENAI COUNTY FRUIT GROW
ERS' ASSOCIATION WILL
MEET SATURDAY.
Committee ON Bylaws Ready to
Make Complete Report.

Early in the year the Coeur d'Alene
Commercial club appointed a COM
mittee to correspond with leading
fruit growers of the county, asking
them to meet in Occur d'Alene for
the purpose of considering the ques-
ton of forming a fruit growers as
ISOLATION. In response to this re-
quest, various fruit growers OF the
county met the Commercial club
committee about the middle of Feb
rnary and the preliminary steps for
forming a permanent organization
were taken, and accordingly a COM
mittee was appointed to formulate
constitution and bylaws. This
committee has been at work and
has the plans for a permanent or
ganization ready to submit to a
mass meeting of the fruit growers Of
Kootenai county, to be held at the
Occur d'Alene Commercial club
rooms on March IL, 1910.
This committee has corresponded
with the fruit growers association Of
Wenatehee and North Yakima,
Wash, and Hood River, Ore, and
Grand Junction, Colorado. and much
valuable information has been re-
eeiyed. The associations Of these
places have been emlnently success
full and have made their respective
cities rich and famous.
II II is a fact, as stated by many
fruit growers. that the country sur
rounding Occur d'Alene produces
fruit of as good color and favor and
OF better shipping qualities than the
entirely irrigated countries produce.
and il 1t is true that the danger
from late frosts Is less than in the
other places mentioned, then Koo-
tenai county has a bright future for
the fruit growers.
Everybody interested in this
matter. whether a fruit grower. or
not, Is cordially invited to come to
the meeting Saturday OF this week
at 1880 a. m.

Prisoner Looks More Sober.
AS Gruber, alias George, alias Car
Isle, entered the court room in
charge of Undersherif Adams this
morning he looked more forlorn and
sober than yesterday. Today he
wore a dark suit, black shirt, green
tie and oxblood shoes, and he SEEM
ed quite nervous. The prisoner kept
on the move and leaned over on first
one hand and then the other.
The court room was filed again
and the interest seems to deepen as
the case advances. Attorney Edw.
McBee appears for the defendant and
County Attorney Potts for the state.
1t is believed that the jury will be
secured this evening and the evidence
in the case will begin in the morn
ing.
Facts of the Case.
The details Of the case are familiar
to most Of the readers of the Press,
and in substance are, that the alleg-
ed murderer came to the city In
company with ]. H. Billings, one
morning the latter part of December,
on the pretense of getting the latter
to purchase a chicken farm in the
outskirts of the city, and while they
were walking along near Fifteenth
street Billings was struck dead with
large club. Gruber left on the
first train for Spokane, where he re-
manned a short time before going
to Lewiston, at which place he was
arrested, before being brought to
this city. The case is attracting
wide attention, and the outcome will
be watched with interest.
