A Letter from Farmer.

Delta, Colo. Feb. llth, 1890
Brother farmers. let us unite iu this grand
enterprise and erect farmers mill at Delta
We have been working on shares this years,
giving over half our wheat to millcrs for
grinding. Let Us put an end to this now
and forever, by building -four mill Of our
own at Delta. You all know how we are
situated in this valley, that we are at the
mercy Of few men at Montrose. These men
could lower the price of wheat to 80 or 75cts
per 100 lbs. and we would be compelled to
sell them, as there is no other market. 1t is
true We are poor, and could not be otherwise,
under the circumstances. Let us leave all
Jealousy to one side and unite and pull
together, and remain no losger slaves aud
scrfs to these rich men of Moatrose. Some.
thing has got to be done to tighten on burden.
The yoke is CALLING; it hurts our neck. Pri.
vate mills are failure for the farmers. They
will all try to buy grain rs close rs they can
and sell -four as dear ~ they eau. That is
business.
A flour mill at Delta will enhance the
value Of our land 100 per cent in one year.
II will save Is cents per 100 lbs. in freight,
which will pay for the mill in two years.
The mill can be built cheaply, the stookhold-
ers eau haul the lumber and all the work,
a. far rs possible. to be done by stoek.hold.

tiers and two little sons to mourn her loss.
Henry was professor of religion, but not a

Couldn't be built for the money tina; could

the matter in hand and make a good com.

getting sufficient capital to complete it. As
fast as q mile is completed, money can be
raised on that to complete the succeeding
mile. Why not try this plan? That ditch
must be built, and will be eventually. 1t is
not only question of expediency, but it is
absolutely question of self.preservstion.
