The death of Former Senator
Carter in Washington last Sun
day came as a shock to his many
friends in Montana. 1t was not
known that he was aillng and
news of his death was hard to
believe. By his death one OF the
leading and foremost politicians
of the state and nation has passed
away and it means a new align
ment politically in Montana.
Around Senator Carter centered
the greatest number of active
politicians in the state, and it be-
ing known that measures were
being taken to return him to the
senate again at the expiration of
Senator DiXon's term, necessarily
means change of program, and
upon whom the mantle will fall
is at this time merely problem
atical. Just what effect it will
have on the political fortunes of
Senator Dixon can only be sur
missed. 1t may be that the oppo-
sition the senior senator will
meet will not be as aggressive as
in the past, and it may be that
some other person will be the re-
cipient of the strong following of
the dead chieftain. Time alone
will tell.

The electric line from Mis-
soula to Roman and other points
in the Mission valley is now the
most cherished desire of all Mis-
soula boosters. Such a line means
more to Missoula business inter-
ests than any other development
enterprise in that city's territory
and it will be no fault of the
business men Of that city if the
road is not in operation before
the close of another year. Mis-
sion valley people are in a recep-
tive mood and will lend every
encouragement within their
power.

Offers an Auto
For a Name

In Detroit they are looking for
a name for their annual water
carnival. A handsome new
Flanders automobile is to be
awarded to the person suggest
ing the best name. There are
no strings tied to this offer-a
few minutes of thought and a
little originality and the auto may
be yours. The contest is open to
people everywhere.
The City Of the Straits is ideal
ly situated for a gigantic, water
fete such as is proposed. The
beautiful Detroit river with it's
crystal clear water flows by on
it's way to Lake Erie, only six
teen miles away. Lying right
opposite Detroit is her renowned
fairy-land, Belle Isle, a great is
land park, which is generally
conceded to be the most beauti-
full in all the world. Up stream,
just ten miles, is Lake St. Clair,
and farther on, the Venice Of
America, Detroit's unique sum-
mer resort.
Detroit's water front is twen-
ty-four miles in length, and
across the river, Canada affords
a similar stretch of water front.
So, from the many vantage
points, hundreds of thousands
can see the magnificent river
spectacle by day and by night.
The carnival of 1912 will be held
during the week Of July oath.
The Detroit Board of Commerce
appreciates the magnitude of this
event and so has offered the
Flanders car as a prize. The
name must be catchy" and in
some way characteristic of De-
troit. The contest closes October
18th, and all names must be sent
to the Contest Committee of the
Detroit Board of Commerce, De-
troit, Michigan.

1t is only necessary to get out
side the confines of the Flathead

all eyes are on Roman and the

ley is looked upon and recognized
as the largest, best and most

nan is conceded by all to be the
metropolis and business center.
Our people do not half appreci-

the near future will bring them.

Bitter Root
Apples Best


j. H. Steinhardt of New York
city, whose firm is the largest
buyers of apples in the world,
was in Missoula this week and
while there made an apple buy
ing trip to the Bitter Root orch
ard district. After his return to
Missoula he said:
1T has been a wonderful day
for me-" said Mr.. Steinhardt.
Il have seen the finest apples |
have ever seen in my life. Your
Wealthy's and McIntoshe's are,
without question, the best in the
world. / say this advisedly. !
mean just what say. Your red
apples are better than the famous
Rogue river and Yakima apples.
The fruit l saw today was per-
feet fruit. And the quantity is no
less a surprise to me than the
quality. The extent Of the val
ley is a revelation to me.
Il have bought good many
apples today. This shipment
will be the first carload of Bitter
Root apples that ever came into
New York. l handled a carload
of Bitter Root cherries last month
and they were the finest cherries
that ever came to New York,
Bitter Root cherries are the best
in the world.
Il am trying out the Bitter
Root. If these apples come
through all right as to packing
and shipping, | am ready to buy
all the apples you have. l know
the fruit is right. If it is han
died right there is a ready mar
ket for everything you grow.
What is needed here more
than anything else is experience
in packing and shipping. It
would pay your chamber of COM
MERGE to start a packing school
here and, before the season be-
gins, have your young men and
women learn how tn prepare ap-
Piles for the market.
Then your growers must or
ganize. They can never make a
success Of marketing their apples
individually; they must form an
association. They must organ
ize and establish a uniform pack
for the whole Bitter Root; they
must adhere to the adopted sys-
TEN of sorting and packing and
must ship as a union. Then there
will be no trouble in finding a
market.
Last year we bought more
than 100000 boxes Of apples in
Hood river and there was no one
of them rejectedr You can es-
tablish the same system here, if
you will. Your growers must
get together and must pack right.
You have the best apples in the
world and it is your own fault if
you do not get the best market in
the world. 1t is waiting for you.
1.-THE Bitter Root should grow
more cherries. There is nothing
raised anywhere else in the world
that compares with the Bitter
Root cherry. Your orchards
should produce more pears than
they do. Your pears are on par
with the rest of your fruit. Ship
such apples and pears as | have
seen today and you can command
the markets.
"Your orchards are clean and
your people deserve commend
alton for their efforts in this di-
rection. They have been sue
cessful and you people do not
realize how much you owe to the
men who have kept the orchards
clean"
This opinion from SO eminent
authority is worth much to the
Bitter Root. No more enthusi-
astic econium was ever delivered
upon the Bitter Root apple and
no more sound advice was ever
given than that contained in the
suggestions made by the visitor
who backed his opinion by the
liberal purchase Of apples in
| auoru orchard he visited

A SNAKE STORY.

Yesterday morning Mrs. Harve FL
lis and her sister, Mrs. Eva Chiles,
went up onto the hill east Of town to
see what they could see. While they
were seeing the reservoir and other
things they also saw snake. The
ladies, being of remote Irish descent,
and more or less related to st. Pat
rick, decided to kill the reptile which
they proceeded to do by stamping it
to death with their dainty heels. After
the snake appeared to be good and
dead they, womanlike, began to poke
it around with parasol and found
that the dead snake was of the rat
tier variety and was carrying six, rat
ties. The ladies pulled off the rat
ties and brought them home as tro-
ply of their mornings episode.
