GOVERNMENT ORGANIZES
MARKETING SERVICE

A valuable marketing service is to
be inaugurated during the coming
strawberry season by the United
States department of agriculture, ac-
cording to statement made by B. A.
Perham sales manager of the North
Pacific Fruit Distributors, yesterday.
The Distributors have been in cores
pondence with government officials
regarding it and in all probability will
not only cooperate in maintaining it
but also participate in its benefits.
The Office of markets and rural or
ganization of the department of agri-
culture will establish a limited tele-
graphic market news service for the
strawberry crop, Mr.. Perham stated.
1t expects to secure reports by tele-
graph from all important car-lot pro-
ducing sections of the United States,
giving the number of cars shipped
daily during the period of important
movement, together with their destin-
ations. An attempt will be made to
keep this information up to date by
securing the diversions of such cars
as they are ordered by the shippers,
SO that at any time the actual num-
Der of cars moving toward any one
market can be readily ascertained.
Acting as a clearing house for such
information that Office will be able to
advise strawberry producing districts
and consuming centers advised con-
corning total car-lot shipments.
Supplementing this service on ship
ments. there will be daily kilograms
from all the principal markets giving
arrivals and prices. Arrangements
have been made by the Office o mar
kets to secure these reports from the
persons in each market most deeply
interested in the strawberry deal. A
summary of this market information
will be telegraphed each day to the
various shipping associations at their
expense.
In such markets as the Distributors
operate they will receive direct re-
ports daily from their own represen-
tatives. The government reports,
however, will keep them in close touch
with the supply and distribution gem
orally throughout the country. in ad-
dition to furnishing supplementary in
formation about competitive ship
ments in their own producing and mar
ketinG territory.

Austrian Tyrol forms a consider

and Austria. 1t is barrier more eff

the Carpathian barrier between Hun
gary and Galicia. Austrian Tyrol is
lO,3O5 square miles of Alpine noun
tains etched with a wonderful and in
tricate design of valleys. While there
are fewer lakes in Tyrol than in
Switzerland and while the highest
Tyrolese summit, 1890 feet above
sea level falls far behind the monarch
of the Swiss Alps, yet the Austrian
crownland yields nothing in charm
by comparison with its neighbor.
Among the rock-strewn gullies of
Tyrol Dante found the materials for
his picture of the entrance to hell
The main chain of the Alps crosses
this region from east to west, and
around it on all sides is wild chaos
of rock masses. Tyrol, though small
has more sorts of climate within its
boundaries than any other part of Eu-
rope. There are parts of the crown
land where the winters are those Of
northeast Ciberia and the summers
are those of Franz Joseph Land
There are other parts, more southern,
where an Andalusian languor is hard
ly freshened by recurring winter
"Tyrol is primarily a pasture land.
There is little farming within the
sheltered valleys, and some lumber
ing but, for the most part, the popula-
ton depends for support upon its
focks and herds. Modelling and Alpine
bells may be heard to an even greater
advantage in this country than in
Switzerland. Moreover. there is a
goats milk cheese prepared by the
peasants of Tyrol that equals in its
mellow, fragrant beauty any product
made Of milk, whether from Alien
berg, Limberg, Brie. Neufchatel or
Roquefort.
Famous for their devotion to the
Roman Catholic religion and for their
fervent loyalty to the house Of Aus
tia, the Tyrolese are one of the stur-
diest peoples on the continent. They
are renowned as inarksmen and as
mountaineers, and the Tyrolese noun
tain batteries form one of the most
favorably known military organiza-
tons in the world. The population
of the crownland numbers about 900,-
600 Of whom are more than half Ger
man-speaking. There is large Ital-
ian-speaking population in the valleys
of the south"

FIRST BIG FRUIT LOAN
OF THE 1915 SEASON

The first big loan of the 1915
marketing season to the fruit growers
of the Northwest was made this week
through the North Pacific Fruit Dis
tributors by the Spokane and Eastern
Trust Company and the Fidelity Ma
tional bank of Spokane, according to
an announcement by ]. H. Robbins,
general manager of the distributors
1t was for $l75,000 and is the largest
individual loan that has been made to
the distributors up to the present
time.
Last season the distributors bor-
rowed $4l0, liz in sums ranging from
$1,000 to SOS, 1000, and during the 1913
season a similar amount, all of which
was repaid. This weeks loan, to be
available as needed in the next four
months, makes approximately $1,000
OOOO0 that has been advanced by the
Spokane banks during the last two
years to the fruit growers of the
northwest through the distributors.
For Affiliated Organizations.
The new loan of $l75,000 was not
borrowed for the Distributors but by
them for affiliated subcentral organi-
cations and for advances to the grow
erS, under regular system which has
been worked out by the Distributors
and approved by the banks. 1t was
furnished in the ordinary course Of
business by the two Spokane banks
without faring of trumpets or meet
ings of the clearing house and its COM
mittees. Every subcentral district
now connected with the Distributors
will participate in the loan. In max
ing it the banks also gave assurance
Of their willingness to complete fur
Their arrangements of similar nature
as the season progresses.
1T is encouraging to the growers
to know that in spite Of last seasons
unfortunate experiences the fruit in
dustry has been placed on such
stable financial basis that within a
week after the frost period has passed
and at the very outset of the new
marketing season the Spokane banks
have made this loan and, incidentally.
business. owing to a financial plan,
under which both the growers and the
banks are amply protected" said Mr..
Robbins. Another gratifying feature
OF this arrangement is that the fruit
remains in the marketing control of
the growers themselves and is not
mortgaged to some man who is going
to buy or sell it."
Begin Fruit Season Free of Debt.
The Distributors begin the new
season free from debt or obligation
and under the new plan of organiza-
ton there will be no accession for
future Indebtedness on the part of the
central agency as the subcentrals
themselves will hereafter provide its
operating expenses. Mr. Robbins ex-
planned.

AUSTRIAN TYROL AND THE
WAR.

Austrian Tyrol. which is today in
the public eye because of the strained
relations between Italy and Austria
forms the subject of today's lesson in
war geography issued by the National
Geographic Society. 1t says:
Austrian Tyrol is one of Europe's
healthiest provinces. In the northern
parts the air drifts pure and cool. from
the haunts of the glacier and pungent
with fir and pine; and in the south il
is soft with Mediterranean sunshine
and fragrant with orange and lemon
This land of wonderfully close woven
texture of mountains. valleys and rock
needles is claiming the worlds inter
est during these days of rumors Of
war as a possible addition to the al
ready vast areas serving as theatres of
war.
Though Tyrol is land all deserv-
ing to the artist. the sportsman, the
vacationist, and the mentally or ply
sically ailing; though it is country
