ago and announces that the Juliaetta
cannery will open tor canning pears
between the first and 10th of Sep
tember, or as soon as the pears are
ready. He has purchased the en-
tire crop of the MIX orchard at Mos
cow and with this and other lots Of
pears he may be able to get will be
sufficient to justify starting up the
plant. Mr.. Mahon may also decide
to can apples and prunes, but has
not definitely decided as to this yet.
Eeary Press: The Farmers Ware
house and Elevator company of
Deary is in the open market for the
purchase of grain, the same as it
has ALWAYS been, and is paying spot
cash at the market price. This
statement is made in view of the
fact that the impression seems to be
in some quarters that the elevator
is handling nothing but association
gram. The elevator has simply
arranged to handle the association
grain IN connection with its regular
business.
The Growers Association having
no warehouse of their own at this
point, the arrangement to handle Its
grain was made for the convenience
of its members in this vicinity.
Farmers who are not members of
the pool may haul, store or sell
their grain at the elevator the same
as at any other independent con-
cern.
Troy News: The amusement COM
mittee for the fair is negotiating
with band from Kendrick for
music during the fair, and II they
can get the boys to come up, Troy
will be assured OF good music for
the three days. Under the tutelage
of Walter thomas, who made fine
reputation as musician during
his time IN the navy, the band is re-
ported to be making rapid progress,
and Troy folks are anxious to hear
them. Those who have been in
touch with the work cf the newly
organized band praise Mr.. Thomas
very highly as a leader and report
that he is rapidly working the
musicians into seasoned players.
Kendrick has been interested in
Troy's fair and they will win the
praise of Troy folks if they will
come up strong and bring the band
with them to keep the crowds on
their toes.

car loaded with Juliaetta grown
watermelons was loaded out from
that town yesterday by c. H. Hamm
of Lewiston, for Great Falls, Mon
tana. The growers were Walter
Cochran and b. G. Custer. 1t is

rule-yet this is the first load OF
melons to go by rail this year-tht
