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.

Alfalfa Will Bring a High

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

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

and the Southern Pacific consider
