ADDRESS OF
c. |. SMITH
A District Display for the keetsnai
Valley at the National
Apple Show
Committee Appointed aiud Another
Meeting Tuesday, Oct 10TH

On Wednesday evening at kents
hall number of our citizens MS
tened to a very interesting and In
structive address by c. L. Smith,
of Keisling. Wash. Mr.. Smith Is
a horticultural expert much exper-
ience. and demonstrated to those
who heard him, that he thoroughly
understands his subject. He came
primarily in the interests off the
National Apple Show at Spokane'
soliciting, especially. district dis
nlays. He visited some of the or
chards close to town and stated
that he was convinced that we can
compete successfully in raising the
best varieties of apples with the
most favored localities.
We regret that we cannot give
his address in full, as 1T would be
well worth reading by every citizen
in the development of the Kootenai
Valley. particularly those who are
now raising fruit or who contem-
plate engaging in this industry
But we will endeavor to give few
of the more important points.
The one coming home to us most
forcihly at present perhaps WAS re-
parding a market. He said: You
are now in a transition stage
through which Hood River, Wenat
chez and all the other great dis
tricts have had to pass. That II
you are producing a little more
than the home no arket will consume
but not enough to make car ioae
ahipments to remote points where
they want apples, unless psrhap
YOU could collect the product from
the different growers. by means
an association or other method
Now what would you do; throw al
your hands and quit? Not by an.
means. Use every effort to &c
more good orchardists to raising
good quality of the standard varie
ties of apples-carloads OF them
get together and settle upon two O
three varieties which do the bss
here and go to raising them instea
of so many comparatively unknow
and untried kinds. Let the ou'
side world know that you hav
orchard land and a favorable CT
mate and invite them to assist /
your development. You can a.
ways find a market for food stu
if you produce it in car lots"
Regarding the importance of
good pack in apples, he said: "R'
putation is a marketable articl
and if a man be honest, he can SO
it and at the same time increai
his possession of it Reputatio
in apples is worth fifty cents p'
box to Wenatchee and Hood Rive
today and why7 Because. by the
improved pack and uniform ouali'
of fruit through period of yea
they have established a world-wit
reputation. From London to Au
tralia the purchaser knows what
will get, if he buys box OF fol
tier Jonsthans, branded with Il
stamp Of the Wenatchee Fru
Growers Association. He kno'
that every apple in that box is ju
as good and just as sound as eve
other apple. And az l said befo
this reputation is worth fifty cen
on every box. Your growers mu
learn to put up good pack; tn
must put nothing but perfect a
pies in their first-class pack, al
then you can guarantee them.

AL IA NOT BURIED
UNDER DEEP SNOW
Mining Men Who Visit the
Camp Declare Stories of Mail
Carrier Exaggerated.

That the reports that have been
printed in Salt Lake City newspapers
about the unusually deep snow in the
vicinity Of Alta, a mining camp about
sixteen miles from Sandy, and the
stories about the hardships encountered
by the mail carrier in covering his ter
ritory are greatly exaggerated is the
opinion of j. f. Beveridge. who is in
terested in the Flagstaff mine at Alta,
and who has visited that part of the
state every winter for the past six
years. To The Tribune Wednesday
Mr.. Beveridge said:
81 took crew of men to Alta to, goo
to work on Friday. The snow on that
day would not exceed foot and half.
only where it had drifted, then. of
course, it would be considerably deep.
er Between then and Monday we had
quite 81 storm. However, after this
storm the snow would not exceed three
feet 1t was no deeper than that when
| left for home on Monday
Mail Carrier Had No Trouble.
"The mail carrier was able TO get
within mile and a half of camp IN
his rig. At that point he unhitched his
horses and rode horseback to the CO.
lumbus mine, which is virtually the
| town. He told me that he had little
difficulty in getting through the snow
and has not been handicapped in hand
| ling his work by the snow to any great
extent this winter. The Flagstaff mine
is about 1000 feet up the canyon from
the Columbus mine. d. n. Despair
drove a heavy load of freight to our
mine and had no trouble whatever.
"The stories that have been sent to
the Salt Lake papers about the condI-
tions in the Alta country this winter
put things too strong. Conditions are
not anywhere near as bad in the vi.
cinity of the mining camp as one would
be led to believe in the stories told the
last day or two
