ORGANIZED.
Public Land states to BE Divided
Into Districts, With a Supervis-
ing Inspector i'm Charge of
Each 80 Attempt to Minimize
Land Frauds.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-For the pur'
pose Of securing more efficient admin
istration of the law under which spe-
cial agents of the general land office
are appointed Secretary Hitchcock has
approved plan of the commissioner

ing state roads. The bill also provided
that sufficient money be appropriated
to pursue the work advantageously.
Under the new law the first work
started was road between Los Vegas
and Santa Fe. The road was ten miles
long and over the mountains. Includ-
ing everything it cost the state exactly

men, after long days work, walk

quarters without sign of a guard.
There is not one case | know of where

escape. The success of the idea is
wonderful, both as regards the engi-

of improving morally and physically
the condition of convicts in our state
prisons.

TO SETTLE STRIKE
MAYOR HARRISON WILL USE
GOOD OFFICES.
Retail Dealers of Chicago Prevail
Upon Him to Try to Bring
Packers and Butchers TOgeth-
er"-Separate Conferences Have
Been Arranged.

Chicago, Aug. i6-Mayor Harrison
will attempt to settle the stockyards
strike In the morning he will meet
the representatives of the strikers and
hear their side of the controversy.
Later in the day he will have a meet
ing with representatives of the packers
and listen to their statement, and he
will then undertake the task of recon.
CLING the differences.
A large committee of the retail deal
ers called upon him during the day
and asked him to use his good offices
in ending the strike. The mayor said
he would gladly do all that lay in his
power to put an end to the trouble,
and meeting between him and the
labor leaders was quickly arranged.
The mayor then set about arranging
a meeting with the packers, and they
promptly sent him word that they
would meet him.
There were a number of conferences
during the day, all having the settle
ment OF the tsrike in view, but none of
them resulted in anything. LIST is as
serted that the alleged secret meeting
between the strikers and packers was
arranged for by W. f. Skinner, assist
ant general manager of the Union

DAVIS NOTIFIED.
John sharp Williams Tells Him
About Ii.

ABOUT III.
White Sulphur Springs, w. Va,
Aug. 17.-Henry Gassaway Davis was
formally notified today that he is the
nominee of the Democratic party for
vice president of the United States.
Mr.. Davis accepted the nomination
with brief speech, reviewing the
political situation, echoing the senti-
ments of Judge Parker on the money
question and expressing the determine
ton to be successful in the campaign.
Representative John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi, chairman of the Motif
cation committee, delivered the Motif
cation address.
The ceremonies were held ON the
lawn of the White Sulphur Springs
hotel, which affords natural ampi-
theater, the grounds sloping up from
the speakers stand on all sides and
sheltered by huge spreading oaks. The
day was an ideal one from every stand
point.
Hundreds of enthusiastic d emocrats
had assem- bled from the Virginias and
bordering states, and heavy trainloads
were brought from a distance Noun
taineers came on horseback, on foot
and in wagons with their families.
The ceremonies were marked with the
utmost simplicity. The famous Stone
wall Brigade Band, of Staunton, Va,
organized by Gen. Jackson, played
stirring airs.

Fifteen Per Cent Prune Crop.

Tacoma, Aug. i5.-State Hortticul.
turist Van Holderbeke, who has just
which is the prune growing center OF
the state, says the crop this year will
not be more than Is per cent of what
it normally is, and that the growers
reckon prunes failure, and the or
chardists feel decidedly gloomy over
the prospects. On the other hand the
prunes grown in Eastern Washington
will produce heavy crop. There are
about 300 acres in Walla Walla county
and about 100 iacres in Spokane coun-
ty, with scattering orchards in other
counties.

GOT NO NEARER.
Stockyards Conference Practically
Failure.


Chicago, Aug. 15.--The stockyards
strike seems no nearer settlement than
it did the day it began. Efforts of a
committee composed of retail butch
ers and grocers to bring about con-
ference between the packers and strike
leaders was of no avail. The retailers
committee was in conference with rep
resentatives of the packers for three
hours during the afternoon, and at the
close of the meeting the following
statement was given out by the com
mittee of business:
''We were courteously received by a
committee representing the packers
and were Informed that considering
all that had passed and present condi-
tions no good reason existed why any
further conference with the strikers
would be beneficial.
No statement was issued by the
packers regarding the conference, and
they all refused to discuss the matter
further than to confiri the statement
given out by the committee.

COYOTE RAVAGES.
Creating Havoc Among Tame Chick
ems and Game Birds.

ndt0e lahuN Shst ~
ems and Game Birds.
Tacoma, Aug. 15.-As the season
advaces and the broods of young quail
and grouse are able to take wing, the
coyotes are becoming very troublesome
to the breeders of poultry in the coun-
try near the city. Many chickens are
reported to have been caught by these
providers, who are most active in the
daytime and capture the chickens
when they are feeding some distance
from the houses. To capture or shoot
the skulking coyote is almost out of
the question, for since he has changed
his habit from the sagebrush plains to
the forests of Western Washington the
exigencies of the situation have devel-
oped in him the slyness of the fox.
He can emerge from the forests and be
gone with his meal before even the
dogs are aware of his presence.
At night, however, he is the coyote
of the farther deserts and his uncanny
howl makes the night hideous for the
farmers and the residents of the sub
urbs.
Not the farmers alone, but the
sportsmen as well have a grudge
against the unwelcome immigrant who
has found his way across the barrier
of the Cascades. In regions that were
once populous with grouse the hunter
may now walk for long time without
finding a game bird. The absence of
the grouse is charged to the coyote.
He not only feeds upon the small birds
when they are unable to fly but ere.
ates havoc by destroying the mother
birds when they are upon the nests.
The sportsmen of this vicinity are very
anxious that the Legislature shall place
premium upon the head of the coyote
