After September lit, npplegrowers of this state, ns well as of the entire North west, will be required to pay a sharp increase In freight rates to market their apples In the east. The big gest advances are made to points west, of tho Missouri river, while for freight to points east of the river the increase Is slight. Fruitgrowers are up In arms over the proposed advance, but It is im probable that they can accomplish any Hi Ing by objecting to the new rates. The rnilronit companies main tain that the tariff charged on ap ples to the east and middle west has been entirely too low and that the new figures are not inequitable. The hdvnnce on apple shipments from this territory ranges from 15 cents to 25 cents per 100 pounds, depend ing own) point ot shipment and des tination. Advance of Per Out. From Portland, the Willnmette val ley nnd other Norlh Pacific coast ter mlnnlH, the old rate was 80 cduts per 100 pounds, in carloads, to St, Paul. Omaha, Colorado points, Chicago nnd St. Louts. This rate will be raised Sept. 13 to $1. Citrlond Weight Is Raised. Thnt Isn't all. The minimum weight for mixed carload lots, when npples are Included, has been raised from 20.000 pounds to 24.000 pr.iimis. Hitherto, shippers hn b.H-n permitted to mix apples with o'her fruit commodities and bill at the mixed fruit rate, wllh minimum of 20,000 a car. Now apples can no longer be Inserted In the cars as fll erB. If there are any apples, the shippers must make up 24.000 oounds actually or theoretically by paying for it. The Northwest Fruit Distributors Association, at Fargo, N. IV, has wir ed western growers and shippers that a meeting will be held In St. Paul to frame a protest ngnlnst the advance In rates nnd asking thnt tho men in- 'eresled be represented nt tho meet-lug. The raise in rates li, of course. made by all railroads serving this territory and it Is said by those in terested In fostering tho fruit. Indus try In this nnd neighboring states that tho advance will bo a severe blow to fruit men In this territory. It Is held that the apple Industry Is an importnnt one nnd needs foster 'ng but that the advance will put a 'evere handicap on growers of the Northwest In competing with the eastern orchnrdists. li is estimated that orchardists of Oregon, Washing Ion and Idaho were paid $14,000, 000 for last year's crop, so It can be seen how Important' it Is to develop this industry. It Is believed that the advance of over 15 cents on every hundred pounds weight of fruit will tend to discourage the growers and will re tard the development of the Indus try. It Is said that when the advance In frleght rates Is learned In the east, II will stop many from coming 'o this territory I" engago In fruitgrowing.
