New Workers
Love Bitter
Root Cherries
BIG BlNGS BRING BUMPER
PRICES AFTER OTHER VA.
RiETIES ARE GONE.

d. w. Haynes, one of New York's
prominent business men, writes inter-
estingly To the chamber of commerce
regarding the swath the Bitter Root
cherries cut in that city. Il never
heard of trade i'm cherries this time
of year before, and from Montana,
too" he says. "Am sending you a
clipping from the New York Herald,
thinking that you might be interested
in knowing the possibilities Of the
New York cherry market in the mid
die of August. Last July l saw French
cherries dominating the London fruit
market away ahead of anything else.
Montana cherries might be made to
dominate the New York market. The
Bitter Root must certainly be a cork
er to produce the big black luscious
cherries that the New Workers are
now devouring."
Following is what the New York
Herald says, under date of August II:
For the first time in the history of
the local fruit trade a carload of cher
ries was offered yesterday in the open
market after the middle Of August.

The cherry season closes early in July.
Yesterdays shipment, which was
disposed of at pier No. 20, North riv-
err, by the Fruit Auction company,
came from the Bitter Root valley, in
western Montana, and consisted of
1000 boxes, weighing ten pounds each.
The cherries were as large as plums
and were a deep red, the variety
known as the Bing. Bidding was live
ly and the fruit was sold to the trade
at an average price Of $3.50 q box.
This is about SO cents more than the
market price a month ago.
1.-THE lateness of the crop is con-
trolled easily, owing to the high altl-
tude of the Bitter Root valley. The
district has an irrigation system which
cost $5,OOO,O0O, and which is able to
produce $4,000 worth of cherries on
fifteen acres, while the cost Of produce
ton is less than $4,000"
Another Letter.
In the same mail with Mr.. Haynes
letter came one from Steinhardt &
Kelly, the large supply and export
of New York. They say in
part: ''As you no doubt know, we
received n car of cherries from the
Bitter Root valley and we must say
that the fruit was elegant. If you
raise this kind of fruit out your way,
you ought to make lot of money. If
you have early apples to ship we would
thank you very much to put us in
touch with some people who want to
sell some of their apples out your way.
AS you know, we are cash buyers and
if we can see fair profit in any prop
osition we will take it up. One of our
firm will certainly make it a point to
stop off at Missoula on his way to
the coast on our next apple buying
which will be soon now"

MORE HISTORY

A paragraph has been making the rounds of Alaska newspapers, and purl orting to come from an authOrative source, 10 the effect that the seven million two hun dred thousand dollars paid by the United States to Russia for Alas ka, was set apart for the use of the Russian Orthodox Church in Alaska.
 The writer has interviewed Rev. OrIof, the priest in charge of St. Micheals Cathedral at this place, and Mr. George Kos trometinoff, warden of the same, on the subject. Both of these gentlemen state positively that the money referred to above was never in any way set apart for, nor used by or for the support of the Russian Orthodox Church. Rev. Orloif was in the service of the church in Russia and has been in Alaska in similar service for ten years. Mr. Kostromet- nOff was born and grew up in Alaska, was present at the cere- monies of the transfer in Sitka, and is a recognized authority on matters pertaining to the Russian regime in America, as well as the Russian Church and its rela- tionship to the Cars govern ment.
 The Russian Orthodox Church in America receives its support today from the Russian govern ment just as it did before the transfer under the authority of an act of that government estab- lished nearly ninety years ago. Of the purchase price of Alaska, $7,OOO,OO went directly into the Russian treasury while the $2OO- 900 was paid to the Russian American Co. for property owned by them mainly at Sitka and Ko- diak.

tis mind about accepting the call he has
received to the First Congregational
Church in San Francisco Expressions OF
regret were heard that Or. Aked should

uItimatum to the congregation. allowing
II only two weeks in which TO offer any
reason why he should remain its pastor.
II was said Yesterday that there would be

though there was no necessity for such
