S lKg MOVEMENT OF BIG NORFHWEST APPLE CROP IS 01 IN EARNEST Great Removal Sale . 4R itwUWwW WWi w IV--! h' i&i w f vf. . ,lf( K, if- Tralnloail Shipments Are Being Sent Out to Eastern States Returns to Growers Arc Expected to Be Fully Satisfactory. Tho movement of the apple crop of the northwest is now on in tr uest. Carload, and oven thiintoad, shipments of the 'fruit arc beiug scut out but of all tho apple-growing districts of tho three states, to near and distant markets, and tho outlook for tho successful disposition of the omn is on the whole favorable. It is not expected that the prices received ior the fruit will average ud to tho lovel obtained m some in' stances in past seasons, but thero is Jillle doupt that the returns to tho crowers generally will be satisfac tory, especially in the ease of fancy fruit. For the best tho demand in this and other countries is strong and steadily growiug, und the grow ers in this part of the country now have better market facilities than they over had Fn tho past. The organization recently of tho Northwestern Fruit Exchange, which includes in its membership most of tho fruit growers' associations of the northwest, and whoso purpose is the distribution on the best possible basis of tho products of those asso ciations, has already done much to ward bringing the apple producers of the northwest into touch with the distant markets of the east and south, and where the exchange opens up new markets for the fruit of this part of the country, it bids fair to hold them. In the few weeks since the busi ness of tho exchnnge started a total of not far from 250 carloads of northwestern apples and other fruits has been disposed of, for the most part at points east of the ocky mountains, and in many instances in Gulf and Atlantic coast markets. The' prices realized in all cases were the top, and in all cases the sales were made at, definite prices, f. o. b. at shipping points, the results being far more satisfactory than has hereto fore been the ease at eastern auc tion sales. The apple crop in tho northwest this year is big and of fine quality as compared with the showing m other parts of the country. Statistics compiled by the department of agri culture gave Oregon the first of this month a showing of 93 per cent of a full crop. Washington at the same time was credited with 90 per cent of a full crop. For tho time the exchange reports the apple market a? easy, but values are fairly well maintained. A fnir volume of trade is under way and negotiations are in progress for the sale of u number of large lots of apples in eastern markets. Among the latest sales was that of a car of extra fancy and fancy Jonnthaus at $1.00 to $1.35 f. o. b. shipping point. These apples were grown at Cashmere, Wash., and are to go to Bostfl", Mass. The exchange, among other Co.i, is negotiating for the Sa!o of 10 cars of fancy Ganos and Ben Davis at $1.25, an eastern firm being the prospective buyer. In the local market there is now an abundance of nil the seasonable sorts, including Kings, Spitzenbergs, Bailey Sweets, Greenings, Graven- steins, Grimes Goldens, Waxcns .and others, and in a general way they are going at $1 to $1.50 a box, according to quality. Dealers report the mar ket steady to easy. i SCOTT HUH: Yreka Line Geting Ready to Build and Two Big Roads Said to Be Seeking Routes Down Through Northern California. SHORT W CROP kUlfllllfll 'Stockmen Ship Feeders Out by Rail to Where Cheaper Forage Is Found Alfalfa Will Bring a High Price. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Oct. 1. Tho number of cattlo being fed in tho Klamath Bnsin is much smaller than last year. Tho hay crop was not up to tho avorago in tho Merrill country, and ,hay is this year selling for $7 and $8 a ton in tho stock. Several of the cattlemont who have been feeding in the Klamath Basin for years claim that the price of hay is top hgih to fatten feeders. Much of tho stock from the range of Klaamth ,nud Lake counties is held for a few days and then takon on to railroad points for shipment, The feedors are still on the open range. Last yoar alfalfa hay sold at from $5 to $7 a ton. Tim orop ia consid jsrabjy shorter than last year, YREKA, Oct. 1. Tho extension of the Yrokn railroad from Yrcka to Scott valley is only a matter of time. It is a certainty that the road will bo exteuded, but there is no definite lime set. The present is not pro pitious. The etrminal improvements at Yrcka and Montague, now. being cltocted, aro preliminary to exten sion work, and the extension plan practically decided the site for the new depot and rdundhouso buildings on the oast side of Yrcka creek. This, in effect, was tho statement made here yesterday by IL L. Wal ther, superintendent of the Yreka railroad, and it will be a cheering message to Montague, Yrcka au.l Scott valley towns. The supposition that the South ern Pacific now owns the Yrekn railroad and that it is planned to extend into Scott valley, thence down the Klamath river to the const to eventually head off Ilill, comiug down the Klamath river for a road down the const to San Francisco, is not given credit by people acquaint ed with tho Conditions. The asser tion is mnde by one well posted man that the Southern Pacific does not control tha Yreka railroad, and that if the Southern Pacific were i down tho Klamath river it would leave the mam line at Hornbrook or Klamathon und get a one pot cent grade for practically the entire distance along the. river, aud there by would avoid tho two per cent grade that would obtain on the mute into Scott vnlk'v via Yikr" fie controls the Yreka railroad, it is it is denied that the Southern Paei not denied that it could force a aslc of that line. The Scott-Van Arsdnb company of San Francisco, of ivhu'.t Goore W Scott is a member, con trols a majority of the stock ownership independent of the South ern Pacific, it is declared. Route of Extension. The general prospective route foe the proposed Yreka railroad exten sion from Yreka to Etna, approxi mately -10 miles in wength, with u maximum grade of 2.2 per cent., is south up Yreka creek to its junction with Forest House creek, up that stream to a point where i twill be necessary to drive a 3000-foot tun nel through the summit of the For est House mountain, 11 miles from Yiekn. The maximum grade to the tunnel would be 2.2 per cent, Pass ing the summit the line would follow, in a southerly direction down Moi fat creek to the floor of Scott creek, with a miximum grade of 1.5 per cent to Fort Jones. From there the line would go in a southerly di rection to Greenview and Etun, with tho latter place as a terminal. It is approximately eight miles from Fort Jones, to Greenview, and seven miles from Greenview to Etna. Will Mean Development. Once a line is constructed into Scott valley it is forecasted that an unprecedented development of valu able timber, mining and agricultural sources would take place. In the mountains around Scott valley is a big belt of pine and fir, now not log ged off or milled except .for .two small local mills. Logging roads would in time bo extendc into tho timber belts tip Moffat, Kidder, In dian and Patterson creeks. rienty of Husiness. a Whether Ilill or tho Southern Pa cific or both send a line down tho Klaamth river to the coast, it is de clared that natural resources of vast value, principally timber and copper properties now awaiting develop ment, would furnish extensive freight for any lino extending into tho torritory, Near tho point whore the nlraon empties into the Klamath river 'm Preston Peak, abounding in houvy copper deposits. On tho Oregon side nro Bluehead copper deposits. Emptying into tho Klaamth from tho California sido aro several streams, among them Shasta, Scott and Sal mon rivers. Numerous streams also empty from thu Oregon Bjdo. Surveying crews of various roads have surveyed routes down the Kla mntlj river.
