Colorado Fruit Crop.

Apples, boxes .............. 2.5O0,O0O
Peaches, boxes ............. 100000
Other fruit, carloads. ....... 1900
Total value of fruit crop. =. $4,000, ,OOO
The magnitude of the fruit indus
try in the state from the standpoint OF
profits to the grower can not be fully
appreciated unless it is known how
small part of the state is required
to produce the millions of dollars that
are realized annually. Not more than
$4,000 acres are new bearing fruit in
the state. The income averages more
than 800 an acre. and in many case
runs above $500 an acre.
The Importance of the fruit indus
try in the development of the state can
be better realized when it Is known
that at least 100000 additional acres
of land are capable of producing fruit
almost If not quite equal to that now
being produced In the developed dis
tricts. There were planted last year
1O,2SO additional acres OF apples. most
ly on the Western slope. and In the
Montezuma valley.
1t is only recently that much atten,
tion has been paid to the scientific
culture of apples on the Eastern slope
particularly In northern Colorado and
around Denver. AS result, Boulder
county will get about 100000 for its
fruits this year. Larimer county will
get more than 100000 from apples
alone. Weld and Adams county will
ret about $4,000 each from apples and
large sums from small fruits.

reached. The union representatives
intimated that their plans already aad
been made. President McCreery is
in the federation had turned matters
over to the International officers and
would await their action
The letter from President Markham
of the Illinois Central road to Secre-
tary Kramer of the international union
says. in part:
Never before in the history Of our
dealings with labor organizations have
We been asked to change contracts ex-
cept in the usual manner provided
therein. viz: That the thirty days for
NAL notice which has always been re-
garded as an essential feature Of same,
be given.
THE required thirty days lotice
not having been given in the manner
provided in each of the different con.
tracts, we regard them as still in ef-
feet and must again decline to enter
into negotiations with other agencies
for the purpose of making changes
therein
The paramount interest in this con-
troversy is that Of the shipping and
travelling public; and being convinced
that it is the ultimate purpose of the
federation to consolidate railroad serv.
ice employees into one organization, the
management does not feel that public
opinion would sustain it in entering
into an agreement which would place
in the hands of one body the power to
throttle the commerce of the coun-
try
When copy of the letter was shown
to President McCreery he dictated the
following statement:
If this letter is authentic, it is very
evident to us that the officials Of the
Illinois Central are seeking to force
the issue prematurely. That could be
the only conclusion to draw from
such communication
