ana WI Help ffnd G0od Mar
kets For the Idaho Fruits.
Through the creation of a new
office, the Oregon Short Line has
taken an important step in the mat
ter of finding ready markets for
Idaho fruit and for maintaining
high standard of fruit shipped from
this state. The office is that Of
chief fruit Inspector of the system
and C. J, Sinsel, president of the
Boise Commercial Club, has been
appointed d to the position.
In discharging the duties of his
office Mr.. sinsel will viist the
fruit sections all along the Short
Line system and inspect the fruit
and packing houses to see that only
first and second grade fruit are
shipped to the eastern ana other
markets, as the shipments will not
find sale unless a good grade is
reeeised on the markets. More
over, he@ shipment Of good fruit
viii establish iiizslg population
for Idaho products on the mar keasa-
and this is considered as important
as finding a market for the saleabIe
fruit. The company will have
to do with the marketing OF
the fruit product, but it thinks
that it is justified in equipping its
line with fruit inspectors to help
the growers to get their produce to
market in the best possible con-
dition. Mr. Sinsel has had f8 years
in the fruit and pack
ing industry, and for that reason
has been chosen to take charge of
the work through southern Idaho.
In recent interview in the Boise
Capital News Mr.. Sinsel says.
To Cooperate With Growers.
THE railroad is making every
effort 10 cooperate with the grow
ers Of the state to get their pro-
ducts to the eastern markets in
the same condition that it leaves
the shipping point I shall have
the general supervision over the
shipping, packing, icing. loading
and every other feature that pre-
sents itself to the grower when he
is trying to get his crop to the
eastern buyers.
We plan to have an inspector
at every shipping point to see that
the cars are in the proper condi-
ton before they pull out of the
station on their long trip. A
great deal of the problem of get
ting the best prices for the fruit is
IN the proper packing and ship
ping of the product and that it is

Reports from all over the ceun-
Try indicate that there will be an
