The plan is for today only, and the' demand for canta- 3 5 loupes at that price was heavy. . Enterprise, Sept. 13. (Special) Scores of residents of the eastern part of the county are gathering Imnaha fruit these days. A visitor to the riv er early this week counted, more than 20 wagons driving along the canyon, each containing a family or part of one, bent on the double errand of fruit gathering and a holiday trip. The popular way is to go to the river and camp there, picking and canning fruit and fishing on the side. Owners of the orchards provide camping plac es, with stoves. Thus the fruit grow ers get their crop picked without hir ing help. Peaches, tomatoes, plums and melons are at their best now. The pears are not quite ripe and it is still early for apples. ARISTOCRATIC BOTES BOUGHT BY J. J. HILl John C. Shaw In in rocolpt ot a let ter from bis brother, Thomas Shaw, who Is now in Kurope purchasing thorough-bred cattle for James J. Hill, giving the Information that many aris tocratic liovlues will be added to Mr. Hill's herd. The very best which' can bo found across the water are being selected, and the question of price Is not entering into the matter to any great extent, as $2,000 has been paid for a bull,-and .others are being bought at correspondingly high prices. The letter states that tweuty-elght shorthorns and twelve Ayrshires have been purchased, -and that the writer has visited many lands before buying the shorthorns, ar he was determined to get only the best. He continues: "I am positive that we have bought the best herd of eliort horns that ever left England. The average price Tor them was $(0(, and for the Ayrshires, H50. One or the bulls cost $2,000, and was a 4-yoar-old at that. No one can tell me dual purpose cattle cannot be bred. The highest priced cattle In Knglaml are the dual shorthorns Mauy give 10,000 pounds of milk pel year, and at the same time produce the best of beef steers. I have secured twenty-two Oxfords and twenty-two Shropshire sheep, and Mr. Hill has cabled me to get three Angus bull, and I am starting tonight fur Aber deen, Scotland, to get them." Hefore returning, Mr. Shaw will visit Holland for the purpose of obtaining a herd of Holsteins, and from there will go to Prance to buy Krenru dairy cattle, a breed little known in this country. Mr. Shaw was for several years head of the agricultur.il "college at (uelph. Ontario, and was afterward no instructor In the University of Minne sota. Ho is the author of fifteen works on agriculture, many of thero being used us text books In the dif ferent colleges, and is designated by James J. Hill as one of the best If not the best agriculturalist In Amortca. NOTICE.
