. 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.
