ORCHARD HELP ARRIVING.

Every incoming train the past
week has brought its quota of help
to gather and pack the fruit.
The busy season in the orchards
can only be said TO have begun. A
few of the Elberta orchards began
picking last Saturday. These We're
mainly on lower Surface Creek.
The work in the peach orchards
is now general and will constitute
a rush for the next three weeks,
after which the apple pack will i'm
mediately begin. 1t is possible
that some shipments of Jonathans
will be made even before the peach
es are all harvested.
With the half-dozen field crops
to be taken care of and the orchard
products continuous rush from
now until winter sets in. II can
be judged how busy our farmers
and their help will be.

tor club and TO arrange for per
manent and substantial interest in

posted in the near future.

Incorpo ratiCn Papers Filed and the
Company is Capitalized For
$4,000.

The fruit growers of the Cedar
edge district held a mass meeting
in that town few days since and
concluded to 70: m an organization fo
the purpose of mutual protection.
The incorporation papers have been
filed and all arrangements made to
put the new association in action
at once.
Capitalization is placed at S10,-

H. Stolte, president; ]. P. Caldwell,
yice-president; Martin Bush, secre-
tary and treasurer.
These Officers are all stockhold-

This seasons product has been
sold to Denny & Company of Chi

The Cedaredge men who are back
of this organization have exactly
the right idea and deserve credit
for starting a reform in the apple
pack in Western Colorado.
Fruit men who know. say that the
matter of he pack is the only
thing that has been against our
apples. They are vastly superior in
every other respect. The Western
Slope apples have long been acknow-
ledsed to be of better quality ard
better keepers than those grown
in the Hood River section, yet
their apples have had a slight ad
vantage over ours merely due to
the systematic, careful way in which
they are packed. This new organi-
do much in the way of starting this
much needed pack reform.

SLAYER CT DOYLE COMES FIRST
Court COHvenes On Monday, When
OCCUPANTS Of the Prison Cells
Will Answer For Their Re
spective Crimes.

The Septembe Der term of the dis
vene on Monday morning with
Judge Sprigg Shackelford presiding,
and the session will doubtless
prove of more than average moment
to residents of the county, since
the criminal docket is of exception
al length and the civil calendar up
to the average.
The first and doubtless most
important criminal case for adjust
ment at this term is that of the
people of the state of Colorado VS..
Fredricka Sammare, murder.
Sammare. it will be remembered,
is the Mexican who so cruelty mur-
dered Bruce Doyle, the Read ranch
had been given a contract to top
Doyle's beets and as the work went
slow Doyle decided to put on some
Japs to hurry it up. The Mexican
resented this and after brief argu-
ment with Doyle he drew a gun
without warning and fired bullet
in his back as he was stopped over
working in the beets and he fell
dead. The Mexican got on a bicy-
Gle and rode away and the officers
and two nephews of the dead man
went out in pursuit and finally To-
Gated their man at a little trading
post in Utah. 1t was one of the
nephews who took him and although
there were a number of Mexicans in
the place and no white men, this
did not deter him from fulfilling his
mission, and he brought Sammare
back to Delta on Thanksgiving day.
