Had to Shoot Valuable Horse.

Yesterday one of the large dray
horses belonging to the Eagle Trans
fer company sustained broken hind
leg, and Marshal Ferguson was call
ed in to shoot the animal and re-
lieve it of its sufferings.
Much mystery attaches to the accl-
dent.
The horse had been placed in its
stall but a few minutes before, in
a perfectly sound condition. When
discovered ten minutes later it was
suffering from a broken leg. The
theory of some of the stable men is
that the horse backed out of its stall
and was kicked by mule which was
tied across the alley way.

TO ESTABLISH
CLEARINGHOUSE
FruitgroWers Association Plan Con-
Venient Arrangement for
Ranchers and WOrkmen

An innovation by the Fruit Grow
ers' association promises to bring a
great measure of relief to congested
conditions here in fruit packing
time
1t often happens that growers
want pickers and packers, and can
not find them when needed most.
AT the same time there may be
available men of the kind required
seeking employment, but through ac-
cident or ignorance failing to get
in touch with the sources of ready
employment.
To remedy these conditions and
provide for the greatest measure OF
convenience the Fruit Growers as
sociation has adopted plan of regis
tration, which will be put into ef-
feet this summer.
President Tibbits in an interview
this morning said:
Our plan is this:
I'VE shall endeavor to have all
fruit growers in the valley, whether
they be members of the association
or not, advise the association of the
probable number of men they shall
require, and when and where they
will need them. We hope to accom-
plish this by means of registration.
Fruit growers are asked to call eth
er at the associations Wenatchee
office, or at it's warehouses at Cash
mere, Malaga, Monitor, ETC., and
register there their names and re-
quirements.
In the same way We hope to reach
the men and boys who desire en-
ployment during the marketing of
the fruit crop. Pickers, packers,
helpers, ETC., will be registered in
the same way, at the Wenatchee Of
flee, Cashmere, Malaga, Monitor, etc.
In this way an intelligent record will
pe kepl VI Tie lnen WIN "ahI "oik'
and of the places where work is to
be obtained"
This system of registration prom
ises to become of immense value as
time saving convenience, especial
ly as the valley develops and en-
larges as a fruit growing region.
The directors of the association
merit much credit for their enter
prise in establishing this clearing
house. for the convenience Of labor
and capital, and that it will prove of
immense value to growers through
out the valley is assured.

ALTUS COAL OPTIONS
New York Capital Supposed to Be
 Back of Deal.

Altus, Aug. 1.-Options have been taken on large tracts of land in Altus and the surrounding country to the north, west and east by parties who are prospecting for coal, and who are said to plan opening a number of mines, should the deposits be as good as expected. A vein has been found to the west of the town, where a drill has been in operation for few days, and another drill will be put in op- eration to the east early next week.
 New York capitalsis believed to be behind the project. For months op- tions have been quietly taken on all the land that could be secured ill this vicinity, and it is only recently that the purpose of these operations was suspected. Now many are refusing to sell their holdings on the terms offer ed, and the effect has been to boost the price of real estate here in a very decided manner.
 A mine owned by the Western Coal and Mining company is already in operation to the south of Altus, and the prospectors are doing nothing in that direction. Options have been taken in every other direction how ever.
