A profitable mode of irrigation now in op-
GRAFTON on several Of the ranches IN Delta
county is a wheel, about 25 feet in crcum-
ference and about four feet in width, hung
from good, substantial piers and run by the
current Of the river. At an interval OF about
every two feet is attached buckets along the
side of the wheel. holding several gallons
each, which empty themselves, as the wheel
revolves, into fume, which can be raised to
within few inches of the top of the wheel.
The wheels are made so they can be raised or
lowered to the rise and fall of the river, and
are self.acting in every respect. The cost of
the wheel aud its erection is from $500 up,
iiuctuatng to the cost of erecting the piers
Several of these wheels are now in successful
operation throughout the county and Others
in course Of erection and many more contem
plated. Those now in running order are
pronounced by the owners to be complete
success and affords them an abundant and
constant supply of water for irrigatiug pur
poses.

Owing to the rapid rise in the Gunnison
river the past few days, the ferry has been
closed down, only small boats being run at
present, and il is now impossible for wagons
to be crossed over. The ferry at North Fork
is also closed down. While rendering cross
ing very dangerous. the high waters are also
doing considerable damage TO property as
we'll. On Monday morning last Mr.. Moody's
ice house, containing sixty tons of ice. was
swept down the river. 1t is overlooking
ranches to considerable extent and wash
ing out large tracts of land. Mr.. Kennedy's
house, which is situated near the bank of the
river is liable to go at any time. The head.
gate in the Hartland ditch is washed out and
considerable other damage done the ditch.
In places where crops are just springing up
in close proximity to the river they have
been entirely washed and drowned out.

Evening.

Oh, the holy, calm delight
or the sweet evening hour.
When we rest in calm repose,
As the night begins to lower.
When the twilight stealeth on,
And the stars come one by one,
And shedding a son light Ger all
Comes the clear, silvery moon.
The murmuring night wind gently blows,
Softly closing the flowers bright leaves,
II glides with gentle whisper to where
The birds find rest among the trees.
The brook that softly murmurs,
Glides in unbroken peace, where is seen
Green meadows, and the moons pale light
Gives 1t a weird, silken sheen.
The nightingale sweetly sings,
And mingling its song with the brook,
Sweet nature each evening for US
Leaves open her beautiful book.

What Delta county needs now and in the
future is a bridge. Our present means of
transportation over the Gunnison river is an
outrage to the travelling public and one of
the greatest drawbacks to the prosperity of
Delta couny. Enough has already been ex-
pended by the county to erect good, sub
stantial bridge, and what have we now to
show for it, Nothing but an old rattlc-,rap,
low-wa'er ferry, which necessitates the ferry
man, under constant pay, and a part of the
population of the county in constant attend
ance to keep il from wild-goosing 1t down
through the Colorado canon, aud this neces-
sary outlay will continue to 20 on as long rs
they try TO operate the ferry. 1t is now
closed down and should remain SO, as the
risk to human life and property is great, and
which also places the county in "A critical
condition. From all reports, the river will
be as high or nearly so this year as it was
last, and il will be way along in August be-
fore the river is again fordahle or our low
water ferry can be again operated, and in
the meantime the only mode Of transpor,a.
ton will be by small boats. The ferry may
possibly be rigged up again, but it will be
very hazardous indeed to cross on it at any
time during the high water. A bridge is
what the county wants, bridge is what the
people are clamoring for, and bridge is
the only safe means to cross the Gunnison
river.

Grace HdtrihorHe as Camille at the Grand
Opera House.

1lhst hNNfAoFhf as Nnnllffe'' at glfe Grand
Opera House
After two weeks Of opera that was not
above mediocrity the change TO the emotional
drama at the Grand last evening was grateful
to the average theater-goer. The play was a
new edition of "Camille''-a play that has
often been pronounced wicked by pru-
dish people. II is considerably al
tered for Miss Grace Hawthorne, and
is not only improved, but Is purged Of
heavy objectionable future. No one could have
seen it and pronounced 1t a dreadful PLAY,
while All must have been charmed With the
artistic conception OF Miss Hawthorne. The
principal change is in giving the audience
the satisfaction Of seeing Duval kill the
Count Dc Yarville in a duel, after the card
scene. which. in the unrevised version. is
only taken for granted.
That Hiss Hawthorne is s favorite in
Minneapolis was shown by the re-
call she received after every act to
say nothing OF some elegant flowers
sent up BY her friends. She begins
very pleasingly and rises with the plav 10 an
exhibition Of some tue emotional work. OF
which the chief charm is its uaturaluess.
The scene with Daval. ST.. the meeting with
her lover, after the fight and the closing
scene were all particularly strong. Her con-
ception. while less true 10 the life than the
couScieut iOus Rhea's, IS more CLaste and

He departed in high glee an d

sanguine of success. At Jacksonville he
found he had lost his chest of tools, but he
made no halt With his rife and ammuni-
ton he went down the Indian river, where
he knew inhabitants were few and alligators
many. He met u congenial spirit in the
southern part of the peninsula, and found
lodgings in his shanty, which was also oc-
cupied by his new-found friends wife and
her brother.
He had not been there many days when he
aToke one night and heard some one whis-

with the help of a vivid imagination was i'm
mediately convinced that they meant to muir

Ing and left the house by window, leaving
his overcoat, valise and rife. He sought a
ferry-boat. got across the river and started on
foot for Jacksonville. He walked into a
swamp and wandered two days without food,
and when he got out his clothing had been
nearly stripped from his person by the under
brush.
He succeeded in reaching Jacksonville, and
got home looking like a tramp and without a
cent in his pocket, just six weeks from the
day he started out. He did not see an alliga-
tor, and the Florida friend he left has written
him to know why he went so suddenly, say
ing: My wife was sick and when / went

street and Fifth avenue south The fire
caught in the center Of The large
frame structure and vas under way
when the alarm was given. sec
oud alarm was sounded and the entire
department fought the fierce blaze The ad-
joining property was saved, but the barrel
factory was a nearly total loss. Il contained
a large number of barrels and much valuable
tools and machinery, aud the loss, which
cannot be estimated tonight, is heavy. The
insurance with Gale & Blskely will nearly
cover the damage. The factory was run By
hand, and the talk Of introducing machinery
had created great feeling. which seems 10
be the sole ground FOR believing the fire TO
have been ineeudiary. The Waterman was
either absent or asleep at the time.
