Scotch Railroad Will
Invade Canadian Wilds
Glasgow Syndicate to Penetrate Re-
gion Rich in Mineral
Deposits.

SPOKANE wash, May A-Preliminary
survey work will be soon started on an
other railroad across the Dominion of
Canada with branches to junction points
with reads in the United States, according
to private advices received in Spokane to-
day from Glasgow. Scotland.
Back Of the project is a Scotch syndicate,
which purposes to build a line from Fort
Churchill. on Hudson bay, to Port Slmp-
SON. B. c., on the Pacific coast, with
branches south to Winnipeg, Man, Regina,
sask., Edmonton and Calgary, Alta, and
points In the northern tier of states. One
OF the advantages in competing for traffic
between Asia and European ports is that
the main line, approximately 600 miles north
OF the International boundary. would be
from LOCO to 1.70O miles shorter than either
the Canadian Pacific, the Grand Trunk Pa
cific or the projected Canadian Northern
road between the two coasts
The tentative route is through a region
believed to be heavily mineralized, includ-
ing petroleum, oil Pnd asphalt fields and
valuable fur reserves and commercial fish
ing grounds.

SUCCESS IN ORCHARDING
FROM HUMBLE BEGINNING
M G. Martin Finds Fortune in APP
pies in White Salmon Country
of Washington.

WHITE SALMON, Washington, May "a
M. c. Martin came to White Salmon in
September. 1904 had $50 cash; bought ten
acres of heavily timbered land lying one
and one-haf miles from the town on which
he made a down payment of 500; tract cost
him $500; his shack cost him $780, horse and
cultivator SIS; cleared and grubbed three
and one-halt acres the first winter; Dor
rowed 500 from the bank in the spring,
then got occasional small loans from
friends. always repaying when due and
keeping his credit good.
Today this ten-acre orchard home is
valued at 1880; It is perfectly developed
with it's orchard ranging from three to five
years old, and strawberry cultivation be-
tween orchard rows.
This property netted Mr. Martin last year
better than 5000 from his berries and the
few bearing trees in the older part of the
orchard. Vigorous pruning and thinning,
with close attention to minute details,
proper cultivation and intelligent spray
ing has made his property one of the show
places of the White Salmon valley and
goes to show what can be done by a per-
son who had 1t all to learn and handi-
capped by not having too much capital.
Martin exhibited at the last National APP
pie show in Spokane his Winter Banana
apples and received second prize. Not be-
ing familiar with the commercial require
ments. he exhibited too large a size.
The Winter Banana Mr.. Martin is pro-
ducing is probably the most perfect line OF
this beautiful variety yet produced; its
markings are very pronounced and its
shape more elongated than others.

CHEAP POWER FOR FARMERS
Montana Streams Being Harnessed
to Furnish Electrical Power
Service.

HELENA, Mont, May 2.-(Special.)-
Development OF natural resources in this
territory includes a number of hydro
electric plants to generate lO0,000-horse
power. This power will be furnished at
low rates for farm purposes. The Helena
Commercial club is centering it's activities
on the Spokane ranch" property, eight
miles east of the Northern Pacific rail-
road. A steam pillow was put to work on
this place and more than 1000 acres of
wheat have been planted
The state experimental farm operated by
the State Agricultural college is located
upon this ranch and a twenty-acre apple
orchard has recently been set out The
entire property consists of about 1900
acres. about 5000 of which will be retained
by the company and rapidly developed into
a grain and stock feeding ranch, and
parts of the acreage will be retailed to
parties who will improve their purchase.
Several North Dakota parties were
recently over the land, one of whom has
selected a farm SITE and others Of the
party have promised to return at an early
date and purchase adjoining land.
The home ranch buildings are all lighted
by electricity from one of the nearby
power dams on the Missouri river. Much
of the ranch labor, such as feed grinding,
is done by the use OF electrical apparatus.
Within twenty-five miles of Helena are
dams completed and in the course of con-
structon, which will generate 10000 horse
power electricity. The company operating
these power plants has agreed to make
a very low rate on current used for farm
purposes.
The present season so far bids fair to
continue to be a most favorable one for

IDAHO LOOKS FOR BIG CROPS
Charles J. sinseI Says Frost Damage

BOISE, Idaho, May a.-(speciRl. )-sev-
enteen years of observation OF hortioul-
tural interests in Southern Idaho lead mo
to the prediction that the 1911 crop will es-
tablish a record for this section" says
Charles ]. Sinsel, an Idaho fruit grower.
''The frost has done but very little IL
any damage. Apples, peaches pears, prunes
and nectarines as well as the berry family
all indicate full crop. Our horticuturlsts
are giving special attention to the cultlvat-
ing. spraying and trimming OF their trees,
so that our fruit buyers can depend on get
ting carloads of No. 1 fancy stock from

BITTER ROOT LEADS IN
SCIENCE OF 0RCHARDlNG
Methods Hest In Country, Says Gov
ernment Officials-Attempt at
improvements Fails.

Arthur Huntington of Cedar Rapids, Ia
a skilled horticulturst. in company with
w. T. DeFevre. resident horticultural Of
the Bitter Root Valley Irrigation company,
has just completed an exhaustive and val
liable investigation in reference to the pol
lenization of apple trees in the bitter root
country.
At the instance Of II. NJ. Sloan, manager
of the company's tracts in the Bitter Root
valley, the horticulturists named visited all
the leading horticultural experts of the APP
pie growing states OF the middle west and
east, in an endeavor to learn how far they
might depart from the established methods
OF planting in the Bitter Root valley and
stu remain sure Of continued good crops.
II has been the custom from the begin
ming in the sunnyside tracts of the Bitter
Root valley to plant approximately one
fourth Gano apple trees and three fourths
Mcintosh Red. The result has been never
failing crops and perfect apples uniform
In size and color and without worms,
apples which last winter brought as high
as 81 per box on the st. Paul market.
Inasmuch as the varieties which have
been used simply for the purpose of pol
lenizing the Mcintosh Red have been APP
pies of lower commercial value II was
thought that polarization might safely be.
done away with, making the entire acreage
the valuable Mcintosh Red or the perhaps
equally valuable Jonathan. The invest-
cation, which included all of the great APP
pie growing states of the east, and en-
braced interviews with the biggest men
in the apple growing profession, resulted
in a unanimous finding that the methods
practiced by the Bitter Root Valley Irri-
cation company on their land in extreme
southwestern Montana are the most sue
cessful that have ever been inaugurated
in apple growing.
The horticulturists wound up their in
vestigation at Washington, D. c., by in
terviewing government officials, and every
where were told the method in the Bitter
Root valley could not be improved upon
that either the Gano or the Wagner apple
should be used for polarization purposes
as has been the custom there, and will
continue to be the custom.
The Bitter Root orchardists are elated
over the finding, which places them at the
top of the ladder in knowing how" in the
orchard business.

date Of the election or the amount.
John Latenser. the architect, was present

they would have to stint themselves
greatly.
1t is planned to finally decide the matter
