The prune shipments from Payette this season will reach 25 carloads.  It costs 
about $200 a car to place the fruit on the track, and taking the market reports 
as a basis upon which to figure, after paying $300 freight, the shipper ought 
to have$800 to $900 returns per car.  Thus it will be seen that it is safe to 
figure the prune crop at $20,000, to say nothing of other fruit that has been 
shipped in considerable quantities this season.  All of this money except such 
as may represent the profits of those who buy and ship for speculation finds 
its way into the pockets of our people.  We have today the most prosperous 
valley in Idaho, and the great fruit industry is yet in its infancy.
