RAMBLING NOTES.
A Cnsunl Glance at the Country and
Impressions of the Town.

10 the En1tOr OF lHE CHlEF.
1t was my pleasure through November and
December to travel the beautiful valleys of
the Uncompahgre, Gunnison and Grand-as
my business required it. Ipurchased horse
at Montrose rode within five miles of Ouray,
visited the many ranches on the way tha.
have been settled for some time for such a
new country. Retracing my steps to Mont
rose l confined on to Delta, passing up the
North Fork of the Gunnison. and all the in
termediate creeks, Forked Tongue, Surface,
Currant, Leroux, Smiths Fork and Others
and back to Delta again. We continued on
to Grand Junction, and below the latter city
we found some most excellent ranches but
above we should hesitate some time before we
purchased From. Grand Junction we went
up the Plateau, and there found US good n
cattle range as anywhere in the State. But,
except short time in the summer, every
thing has to h, packed in. we understand,
however, that road is now under construc-
ton. From Plateau we crossed over and
went up the Grand river. At one place we
tried to ford in the wrong place. the horse
and rider carried swiftly down stream for
some distance, and we We're wet up to our
vest pockets. We thought for awhile that
our time had come, but it proved that it had
not. and we journeyed on our way merrily,
running across dozen or two Of deer every
now and then. We found this delightful
country On all hands we were received
most cordially, and shall never forget our
Christmas spent so delightfully."- at the ranch
of large cattle company, managed by Fred
Rockwell it the most approved manner.
Time passes, and we are again at Delta.
Not very large city is Delta, but we saw
readily that the country was going ahead of
the town, which is better than having the
town going ahead of the country. In look
ing over this vast stretch of rich and fertile
country we see in Delta bright prospects of
the future. Being in the center of county
soon destined to be garden " Colorado. she
cannot be held in check long. Far-sighted
men have improved their opportunity, and
others will soon follow, settling on her bor-
ders where there is still plenty of room, and
to spare. Ranchmen who have been so far
sighted we believe, will soon see their mis-
stake and remove to the vicinity of Delta.
All that Delta needs to-day to make her n
thriving agricultural city few men of
capital. God has provided the greatest factor
in broad. fertile acres. and soon man will
supply all that is necessary to make Delta
what she justly deserves to be. We were
pleased with the location of Delta it being
at the junction of the Uncompahgre and the
Gunnison, the water supply is assured. We
were also impressed with the class of people
residing in Delta, and with the progress made
in the construction of churches and in the
attendance of the same.
People who are looking around for ranches
will do well in not passing Delta county by.

Thc ReservatIon Rill.

The following is the bill introduced by Sem
ator Hill as reported back favorably by the
the Committee on Public Lands. 1t is now
waiting action by the Senate, with every
prospect of passing. We give the bill entire:
A Bill relating to Lands in Colorado lately occu-
pied by the Uncompahgre and White River Ute
Indians.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States in Con-
gress assembled, That actual settlers on lands
subject to pre-empton under existing laws
within the late Uncompahgre and White
River Ute Indian Reservation in Colorado,
shall be entitled to purchase the same, in
quantities not exceeding hundred and
sixty acres each, in accordance with the gem
eral principles of the pre-emption laws.
Pronided, That no bona fde settler as afore-
said shall be denied the right to purchase the
land under the provisions of this act on the
ground that he may have previously had the
benefit of presumption on other public land
eff the United States without said reservation.
nor on the ground that he may have removed
from his own land elsewhere within the State
of Colorado to settle upon land in said reser-
vation And Irocidcd, further, That proof of
actual inhabitancy and improvement of the
land for not less than one year shall be made
to the satisfactory of the Register and the
Receiver, under such regulations the Sec
retary of the Interior may prescribe.
SEC. 2. That the payments for these lands
may be made in three instalmcnts, as fol-
lows, to-wt:, twenty-five cents per acre at
the date of entry. and fifty cents per acre, re-
spectfully, in one and two years from such
date.
The changes in the bill from that first in
troduced are the making it optional with the
pre-emptor whether he will prove up under
the old or new law, and extending the time Of
final payment from date of filing to four and
half years.

North Fork Items.

Notwithstanding the wet weather we are
having now, the farmers are busy plowing.
Mr.. Hotchkiss has just completed setting
out two thousand apple trees, and inside the
next month there will be planted in this val
ley not far short of half million fruit trees
They have begun in good earnest on the
Smiths Fork ditch, carrying the water over
the divide to the North Fork side at the
crossing Of the public road from the Muddy
country, and expect to have it completed in
time for this springs crop. This move makes
many more farms yet to be taken on the line
of the ditch. The fall of the land is mostly
to the west and north, making it well adapted
to fruit culture, as well as grain. Don.
