FIRST SHIPMENT OF PEARS Grain ta Paaa Fruit Growers Un ion Send Car of B&rtletts to New. York. The Grants Pass Frnit Growers' Union made their first shipment of fruit this Thursday morning when a car of Bartlett pears was sent to New York. The car left in fast freight for Portland where it will go out over the O. R. & N. to Ogden. At Ogden it will be placed in a frnit train made oj Calfornia and Oregon cars and sent without a delay or a stop direct to New York, at which plaoe it will ar rive in about nine days after it left Grants Pais. The picking of the pears was began Tuesday by the grow ers and was completed Thursday, though it was intended by President R. A. N. Reymers, who had charge of the packing and the loading of the oar, to have the picking all done by Wed nesday noon. The delay was caused by several of the grower not having sufficient pickers to get the work done within the time limit. The result was that the car con Id not be sent out by the Thursday after- noon through freight and had to wait for the next train Friday forenoou.
