Net Profit Is Small.

The expense ofselearing an acre OF the
Jungle may be set down at about $50.
the setting out of new plants at about
IS an acre while the annual mainte-
nance Is covered by $40. The cost Of
getting bananas to the ship from the
plantation has been reduced to min
imum by the use OF narrow gauge plan
tatlon railways and other labor saving
devices. The price of bananas on
plantations is generally regarded as
about 80 cents bunch, so that In
round numbers the growers price Of an
acre might he put down at 800. Where
labor Is paid for by the wage system
the profits on bananas at that price are
between $50 and $50 an acre.
Much OF the Fruit Company's planta-
ton operations are conducted upon the
basis OF paying independent native farm
ers a fixed price for their bananas and
allowing them to use the Fruit Com
pany's land free Of charge. 1t has been
found that 80 cents a bunch enables the
native planters to derive a profit suf-
ficient TO induce them TO continue In the
business.
The main reason why the Fruit Com
pany has enjoyed practically a monop-
oily of the banana business from Pan
anna and adjacent countries Is simply
because no one else has had the initia-
tive to 20 into the business of raising
and shipping bananas. To make a sue
cess OF the business would require the
same comprehensive system that the
Fruit Company has worked out during
the many years of its development The
Fruit Company officials say now that the
Fruit Company has no objection to COM
petition, because 1t stands ready to meet
competition and is prepared to do this
more effectively than any other concern
because OF its long experience In the
business.

DRAYMAN CANNOT
CROSS STATE LINE
SPOKANE OFFICERS ARREST
COEUR D'ALENE DRAYMEN FOR
SOLICITING THERE

SPOKANE.-Deputy Sheriff Gorhan
arrested j. M. Maugin, a Coeul
d'Alene transfer man, Wednesday or
the charge Of soliciting transfer bust
ness in Washington without license
Maugin, according to Gorham s
charge, brought load of merchandise
to Spokane yesterday and took an
other back to Coeur d'A1ene.
The deputy sheriff has been inves-
tigating cases of this sort of late,
and will make this a test of the le-
gality of doing transfer business un-
der license granted in another state.
A Coeur d'Alene firm, upon being
called to account by Mr.. Gorham,
wrote recently to the secretary of
state of Washington, asking if the
act of making hauls from Occur
d'Alene to Spokane were illegal with
out a Washington license. The Sec
retary of state replied that an occa-
siona1 haul would be permissible.
This quasi-permission was given
only a short time ago. Mr.. Gorham
says that at least seven instances of
Occur d'Alene firms doing transfer
work in this state have come up since
The issuance of the secretary's opin-
ion. That these instances are too
frequent to be called occasional is
he contention of Mr.. Gorham. The
deputy sheriff further alleges that
he Idaho firms have solicited bus1-
less in Spokane.
The case will come up for trial in
he superior court Monday, July %.
dr. Gorham announced this morning |
hat he would make complaints
Igainst several other Occur d'Alene
irms on the same charge.

FRENCH ASKS Bis
RECLAMATION FUND
IDAHO CONGRESSMAN WANTS
$100,000,O00 FOR THE RECLA-
NATION OF ARID LANDS

WASHINGTON. = Congressman
French has introduced a bill providing
for an advance to the reclamation
fund of $100, 900, 900 on the same
basis and terms as provided in the
Act of June rs, 1910 when the sum
of $20,000,000 was advanced to the
fund. The bill has been referred to
the Committee on Appropriations and
Mr.. French has canvassed many of
the leaders of the House, looking to
the passage of the bill.
Speaking On the subject, Mr.. French
said, II have been giving this matter
attention for several weeks and have
talked with various members on the
subject, but it has seemed advisable
to withhold introducing the bill until
we could know more definitely the
fate of the Mondell Soldier Land
Bill. In view, however, of the opposi-
ton that has developed to the Mondell
Bill, feel that l should introduce and
press the bill for the advancement of
money to the reclamation fund"
Mr. French says that the reclama-
ton service has data touching enough
projects to take care of the entire
and that the projects
merely await available money for
their construction. He also points
out that the greatest drouth in re-
cent years in the arid region has oc-
cured this year and that the bill to
some extent would relieve the situa-
ton by furnishing employment for
men and teams.

EENDR|CK DISTRICT
IS FULL OF PRUNES
THE GAZETTE REPORTS PROS
PECTS GOOD FOR FINE CROP
OF THE STAPLE FRUITS

w. M. Crapo of Lewiston, manager
of the Oregon Packing Company's
plant at Charleston, was in Kendrick
Thursday looking over the prune crop
in this locality. He says conditions
are very encouraging for a larger
crop than has been grown here for
several years and that the quality is
better than usual. He believes, how
ever, that good rain is needed to
mature the crop.
Mr.. Crapo has purchased prunes
here for number of years and knows
this territory and the conditions under
which prunes are grown. He does not
hesitate to say that if the prune
orchards were sprayed twice year,
once in the spring and again in the
fall, and thoroughly cultivated, the
quality of the prunes raised in the
section would grade very high. The
most unfavorable condition under
which the buyers are working here is
the lack of size of the prunes. Those
who take good care of their orch
ards bring in first class prunes that
will grade well for size, but very few
orchards receive this care. The price
being offered this year ought to en-
courage the growers and result in
their orchards receiving more consid-
Grafton.
Mr.. Crapo says that very con-
servative estimate of the crop in this
locality is 250 tons, providing the crop
natures under favorable conditions.
While the prune orchards are handled
here more in the nature Of a side
line. there are some large orchards
that will have crop valued at from
four to five thousand dollars, at the
present market price.
In order to encourage the buyers,
the growers of both large and small
lots of prunes, should bring them to
market this season so that the volume
of business would be great enough to
make this desirable buying point

Ed Hall arrived in Palouse Monday
from Fort Benton, Montana, with his
stock and outfit, 20 days having been
occupied in the trip. He states that
the crop is an absolute failure in that
part of Montana and that people are
driving their stock out as rapidly as
possible, some coming to the Inland
Empire and others going east to the
middle states, where crop conditions
are good. The crops were so short
as to be Improbable last year and the
year previous, and with complete
failure this year, many settlers are
