Herman Bear arrived last week from Hi.
nois with a car containing an imported Nor
man stallion, and II grade Clydesdale, also a
hay press and other machinery.
The most serious question that the settlers
of the Mesa have to contend with is the lack
of water. Not one tenth of the land is under
cultivation, yet the supply often in the IN id.
die ofJuly, is practically exhausted. Where
will the water tor the remainder of the land
come from? To tap the Gunnison would
solve the problem, but is the county benefit
ed by it, financially able to carry out the un-
dertaking? Will some present to the readers
Of the INDEPENDENT, q rough estimate what
it would cost to tap the Gunnison, and what
the work would consist of?

Almost every day we hear some ranchman
complain about his horse or COW, or some.
thing else getting into barbed wire fence,
either his avn or his neighbours Now we
think. if our farmers would make it rule
to pus, say about two poles all around iu
connection with the wire, this would keep
the animals from getting hurt, but the best
plan fn!l is to have pole fence altogether,
and then there is no danger at all. Poles, OF
course, are far away in most instances, but
the time spent in getting them is easily made
up in the safety of their animals. If man
has wire fence he is bound to have his stock
hurt sooner or later, and in some insta nces
we have known valuable stock to be crippled
and ruined for life.

DO YOU
WANT A FARM loan

Henry ana Curtis are prepared to make
loans on irrigated farm lands in Delta County.
and present the following explanation of the
various plans of loans used from which bor-
rowers may select.
1. "STRAIGHT PLAN" We can make
you an ordinary straight loan for one, two,
three or flve years.
9. PARTIAL PAYMENT PLAN" We
can make you loan and divide the principal
up into 800, $500 or 81 900 notes, any one or
all of which you may pay at any date of any
interest payment in any year or you need not
pay any of them until the end of the full five
years. When you pay any ofthese notes, the
interest on the ones paid is stopped. BY this
means, it, you have good crop, you can pay
part or all of your mortgage. II you have q
poor crop. you need not pay any of it.
3. TNsTALLMENT PLAN" We can
allow you to pay your loan in four INSTALL
ments One-fourth of it at tho end of tho
second year, one-fourth of it at the end of the
third, one-fourth of 1t at the end ofthe fourth
and one.fourth of it at the end OF the fifth.
When payment is made, interest s stopped on
the amount paid.
4. "ON OR BEFORE PLAN" Wecan
give you a regular ION or before plan," by
which you can pay all of your debt any year
you want to.
5. We make no charge whatever to give
you above options.
6. We make interest payable semi-annual-
ly, and at any time of the year you may pre-
fer; either in spring, fall or wintor.
7. We use but ONE TRUST DEED, saw
ing you the expense of recording two trust
deeds and two releases.
Remember that with other companies you
are not only compelled to pay for recording
two trust deeds and two releases, but forever
afterwards, when you have an abstract made,
you must pay for abstracting both these trust
deeds.
8. We make fair loans, and do not use
stuffed notes.
8. All our loans are made to ma ture in the
fall or winter (nnless otherwise desired by
borrower) thus giving the farmer the advant-
age of recent harvest sales to pay interest and
principal.
10. We always have plenty of money and
when we promise you your loan you can de-
pond OH getting it promptly.
IL. Our rates of interest ar as low as the
lowest.
See us and get your loan to suit you before
you make arrangements for it elsewhere.

Judge A. W. Tourgee, answering the argu.
ment of II Southern correspondent who favors
legal disfranchisement of the negro because it
offers the only hope for his compulsory de-
portation, eloquently says the Chicago Inter-
Ocean: "God grant that he may not realize
the full force of his words! What a terrible
page-red with blood and black with crime
is that on which history has written the story
of compulsory deportation In 200 years it
is estimated that 6,OO0,OO0 of the African race
were compulsorily deported from one country
to another. OF these it was shown from ac-
tunl accounts that more than one.sixth died
upon the passage-lnore than 1,0OO,OoO souls
destroyed because the white man asserted the
