CLEARING HOUSE
 FOR FARMERS PROPOSED

CHICAGO, H., August 9.-To re- duee the ''high cost of selling" 7" which authorities now agree is the cause of the high living costs and poor returns to producers of food, an adoption of the "Chicago plan" of banks has been proposed. The pro- pOsal involves clearing house bank ing system as a means uniting farm CTS for cooperative selling of their crops and its sponsors declare it will prove as important a step as was the strict system of examinations Of banks by clearing house associations which quietly and quickly has revo- lutionized banking in the United States without regard to currency commission. B. F. Yoakum, head of the Frisco railroad system. declared: "Last years agricultural products were worth $9,0OO.OOO,OOO to the farmers The government used farm values in getting figures for the total. Assuming that the farmers kept one-third of the products for their own use the consumers paid over Sl3.0O0,000,0OO for what the producers received s6,O00,00O, 900. The cost of getting the years pro- duets from producers to consumers amounted to the enormous sum of g. 000,000,0O0. The farmers of this country, to receive better prices, do not have to experiment with untried theories. The bankers clearing house associations are cited as the only example of full and effective cooperation in the United States. Bankers and railroads are becoming intelligent enough to see that loss to the farmers reacts upon them,' said Seth T. FarnswOrth, determined ad- vocate of the farmers clearing house system. "The result is to be seen, larger and better crops. But it is to the interest of those who control and direct the big business of the country to extend the banking facil- ities to give a liquid, cash value to growing crops, so that farmers may buy and pay for the things they need by checks on a clearing house bank in their eounty.'' James I. Hill has said that only starvation will drive the farmers to effective cooperation to escape from paying enormous tribute to middlemen.

MERMEJO IS HELD FOR ASH FORK
 ROBBERY
(From Saturdays Daily.)

When the Ash Fork holdup was sifted down yesterday at the prelim- mary examination of Ramon Encinas and Jose Mermejo, who were accused of way-laying a Chinese restaurant owner, the crime was proven to be one of the boldest that has ever been known in this county. The Chinese, after he returned to his place of business, was brutally as saulted, and it is believed that mur- der was the motive. He was hit on the head with a blunt instrument, after which his hands were tied be- hind his back, a gag was placed in his mouth and he was thrown into the cellar. The sum of $72.45 was taken from his person and the premises were ransacked. After re- maining in the cellar for several hours, the Chinaman regained con- seiousness, and after considerable ef- fort removed the, gag from his mouth, which permitted him to give an alarm. Several came to his rescue. and among them was Eneinas, one of the accused men. He established his innocence, however, by several wit nesses, proving an alibi. Mermeio, however, was identified by the China man, as one of his assailants, and
 was held to the grand jury in the sum of Sl.O00, which he was unable to give. Eneinas was given his free
 dom on instructions of Assistant
 District Attorney P. w. O'Sullivan.

5. ]. HOLS|NGER IS: CLAIMED BY
 REAPER

PHOENIX. Ariz., August 11.-Word was received in the city yesterday of the death of s. J. Holsinger, a former resident of Phoenix, at Me teor, Ariz., at S.30 o'clock the night before. The cause of death was pleur- esy. Arrangements have not yet been announced for the funeral but tt will take place in Phoenix and the body will probably be brought to the city tonight. The news of the death of MT. Holsinger will be heard with regret by many of his old neighbors for he was highly es- teemed during his residence here. His home was at 22OO West Adams street.
 He came to Phoenix in the forestry service several years ago and in the course of that service in the north ern part of the territory he became interested in the story, which was hardly more than legend of the fall of a huge meteor some distance east of Flagstaff. His interest in it wa. merely scientific and he was anxious to determine whether that great bowl shaped depression was actually caused by great aerolite.
 He succeeded in interesting many persons in different parts of the country in the subject and he finally abandoned the service and devoted himself to an investigation of the matter which took on commercial aspect later. MT. Holsinger quickly became convinced that a meteor had actually fallen and buried itself there and the work of excavation was be- gun but is not vet finished.
 Meanwhile Mir Holsinger and his two sons engaged in the sheep and cattle business n that vicinity. His family consisting of his wife, his sons and his daughter Erminie were with him at the time of his death.

BIG POWER AND
 LIGHT PLANT PLANNED

SPOKANE, Wash. Aug. 10.-Offi- cial announcement will be made be- fore the end of September by the Pacific Power X Light company of its plans to develop 1,0O0,000 horse power by hydro-electric installation in the Columbia river at Priest Rapids. Wash, southwest of Spokane, at a cost of from $s,OOO,OOO to $1O,- 0O0,000. It is estimated that eight years will be required to complete the work.
 The project includes the cOnstruc- tion of an enormous dam across the river at the foot of the rapids. the face of the wall to be 75 feet in height or equal to the drop of the stream in distance of nine miles: the, building of the high line canal of the Hanford irrigation plant, and the stringing of a network of transmits sion lines to supply power and light to large part of eastern Washing ton.
 A wing dam, direrting part of the current of the Columbia river from the main channel into a power canal, now is furnishing power for the com pany's electric plant at Priest Rapids and the use of this method of de velOpment will he continued until the large dam is in position and ready to take the load.
 The bill passed by Congress recent ly. giving the Pacific company au- thority to dam the Columbia river, also provides for locks, whereby navi- gation will be aided by the completion of the big wall.
 Until the company determines its plans and establishes its rights at Priest Rapids, the construction of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound railroad from Beverly on the main line, 60 miles up the river. The railroad company has completed four surveys around the face of q 4O0- foot rock wall and the line will now follow a 75-fOot grade to keep above the level of the dam.

GRADING STARTED FOR CYANIDE
 PLANT
CFrom Saturdays DaiIy)

Grading for the new cyanide plant of the Venezia Gold Mines Company, in Crook Canyon is now under way, was the report made yesterday by E. L. Tomlinson, superintendent, while in the city. He also stated that the machinery is en route from the east and is one of the most perfect equipments that has ever been intro dueed in this county, aggregating in weight nearly 100000 pounds. The process is also the first of its kind to be brought to this section and was decided upon after several months of testing made by various methods, the final selection being decided upon after Venezia ores were given a thorough treatment. which returned satisfactory results. To ac- complish this determination. a small plant was erected at the works, which exceeded all antieipations.
 The introduction of the new treat ment is creating considerable interest in that district, where a heavy ton mage is available at several mines and which, up to the present time, has baffled all reduction plants to give satisfactory returns. MT. Tom linson state- that by the first of November the treating of Venezia and custom ores will begin. Mine work continues, and exploration is satisfactory, enough ore being at the twenty stamp mill for several months.

ALLEGED HORSE THIEF LODGED
 IN JAIL
(FTom Saturdays Daily.)

Sheriff J. W. Smith returned from Southern Arizona yesterday, with George W. Anderson, alias J. B. Wal lace, in custody, on the charge of horse stealing near Ash Fork, on July IS. The accused man was ar rested at Lowell early this week, riding the animal, and evidently was aware that he was wanted, being found in an alley apparently desiring to shield his movements as he was leaving that place. He was taken into custody and the return trip to Prescott was started. Anderson ap- pesred composed and gave many reasons why he should not be arrest ed. When Marieopa was reached, his cunning asserted itself, and in the dark he made his escape. The chase was then taken up by Sheriff Smith, and he was finally run down at Yuma. after a three days hunt.
  ported heavy beard, took occasion to relieve his face of the hirsute adornment, as well was his head clip ped to a close crop in order to effect a disguise. When arrested he had s1.75 on his person. and single coat on his back. When recaptured he had spent 9 cents and was equipped with a complete travelling outfit, eneased in a gunnysack. He made many apologies for his Mari eopa stunt, and still maintains that he is innocent. An interesting mat ter is his extreme old age. acknOwl- edging that he is T years old, which is borne out by his personal appear anee. On foot, however, he is as 1.-the as a boy, while his tongue has a glib that indicates a man of but middle age.
 The equine he is accused of steal ing belongs to Colin Campbell, of Ash Fork, and is valued at over S250. It was ridden from that place to Humboldt and from there the Tonto Basin country was traversed, to the point where the capture was effected, or over 100 miles. The horse was in a bad condition and will be kept in the south until it regains its former vigor Anderson, it is said, also stole a saddle after taking the horse, but the owner has not as yet showed up. The case is one of more than usual interest, from the fact of the man being SO old.

CFrom Thursdays DGnyJ

Mrs. M. G.

She says that one of the serious questions confronting that institution is accommodations for the increased attendance. Official reme- dies will soon have to be applied to meet this contingency and all resi- dents are taking a deep interest in the problem that faces this condi- tion. Mrs. Burns is probably as we'll qualified as any other woman in Ari- zOna 10 appreciate what is deemed just and expedient affecting this public institution, possessing high accomplishments as a teacher, and with conscientious regard for the cause of education is imbued with kindly feeling to have this institu- tiOn dutifully cared for at the earliest opportunity. She speaks in handsome manner of the ability of Dr. H. H. Blome, superintendent, who has performed, under disagree able conditions, eommendable work It will also be learned with interest that the selection of Miss Hattie B.
