you must preserve order, or we cannot
proceed with the business" and
"Speaker" Douglass would shake his
fist at the other side and say, "You
gentlemen must be more decorous or the
! sergeant-at-ar will have to take
charge of the floor" Bang, bang, came
the two gavels on the desk, and then
each of the presiding officers would pro-
ceed to put a motion, announce vote,
or receive motion that was sent up on
a slip of paper. Sometimes they would
stop long enough to laugh and pat each
other on the head, but after the first fif-
teen minutes there was no evidence of
violent intentions. The two chief clerks
held the fort together, and the republi-
can pretended to be acting in as good
faith as if he had been regularly elected.
The sergeants- alarms and their assist
ants became discouraged and neglected
their "officlal duties as soon as the first
excitement subsided. The republicans
got up mock discussions over bills, mo-
tions and resolutions, and in that way
held themselves together as best they
could, while the Populists grew less
noisy and more deliberate, taking pre-
cautions to do nothing except what
would stand law.
The republicans had begun calling the
roll Of members before the Populists
came to that, but the latter had the list
brought in by the secretary of state.
Here was another strong point in favor
of the Populists, and they realized it. II
only the republicans had known what
that list contained and had acted judi
ciously, they could have had the organi-
zation all their own way. But their golden
opportunity was lost when they refused
to, recognize Osborn as chairman. The
Populist speaker ordered the roll call,
and in short time all the contest cases
were decided according to due process Of
law.
The secretary of the senate, W. l..
Brown, came with a message from the
senate, and read it to Speaker Dunsmore.
This was accepted as evidence that the
senate recognized the Populist house.
Both "houses" passed resolutions and
appointed committees to deliver them to
the senate, but the senate had adjourned
before this was done.
A committee headed by A.. @. Sher-
man was sent by the republicans to wait
upon the governor and inform him that
the house was organized and ready to
receive any message he might wish to de-
liver. The governor received them in
his office, but informed them that as
they had no written message or creden-
tials he could not recognize them as a
committee from the house. Later he in
formed a committee appointed by
Speaker Dunsmore that he was not
ready to recognize any organization Of
the house.
So matters rested and at about p. m.
an impressive feeling of hunger had sub
dued the members on both sides and
made them realize that they had not
been to dinner. Committees were sent
after provisions and soon returned with
great loads of sandwiches, which were
soon distributed among the members
and officers on the floor. They had q
picnic. The two speakers occupying

a neighboring town about sixty miles
distant natural gas well has recently
been sunk 800 feet which produces an
immense flow OF fine quality Of gas. This
same company are going down 900 feet,
with every indication of soon producing
flowing oil well. The same conditions
exist on this side of the mountain. Places
can be found where the earth will burn;
particles of oil can be found at the waters
edge OF some streams, and it needs but
the drilling machine to bring it to the
surface.
The system Of irrigation of Delta coun-
ty as yet is not complete, but is we'll
advanced and in short time will be
perfected. The opportunities for irriga-
ton are good, and within short time all
will be supplied. The natural fncilities
are such that it makes it comparatively
easy to convey water up to and over the
most elevated portions Of the mesas. This
is true OF California, Garnet and Rogers
mesas.
Along the valleys OF the Uncompahgre,
Gunnison, North Fork, Smiths Fork,
Muddy, LIE Roux, Tongue and Surface
creeks, there is an abundance Of water
for all purposes. In addition to this, a
complete system Of reservoirs have been
established along the Grand Mesa, which
afford sufficient water for purposes re-
quired along the valleys or table lands
bordering thereon. The advantages to
be derived from the facilities for procur-
ing abundance Of water throuhout the
county is Of incalculeble value, and one
that should be taken into consideration,
as upon this depends lorgely the success
Of the toiler.
One Of the latest markets which the
valleys west OF the range must supply is
the Goose Creek gold camp, whore tho
new town Dubois has been started, and
which will doubtless surpass Cripple
Creek. All these mining camps do bust
ness on a cash basis at fabulous prices.
Old fruit growers claim they can make
money raising fruit at one cent per pound,
and when from four to eight cents per
pound is realized an idea Of the profits
can be realized.
In the consideration OF Delta's markets
much credit is due to G. L. Wright, the
leading commission man and his force Of
"hustling" employees. He has brought
Delta county to the front az garden
spot where the thousands Of thrifty
miners send for fruits and vegeta bles.

Those closely observing the actions
OF our eccentric Governor do not know
what foolish move he will make next.
His latest break is the calling Of a con-
vention Of miners to be held in Salida
December 9Th. If these men vote to call
an extra session His Accidency will issue
call, if not that settlers the matter. As
he is going to attend with his "blood to
the bridles' talk we need not be surprised
to see the Legislature called together.
Already his threatenings have done us
untold harm. The members will no
doubt meet in the morning and adjourn
in the afternoon. Then Bloody Brides"

ing if they had only done as he advised
the country would have been saved.
His scheme is supposed to be the pur-
chase of silver and having it coined in
Mexico, and put in circulation in this
country. This would be picnic for the
Mericans, as they would get large
profit off the deal. This money would
pass at about SO to So cents on the dollar.
and no one would be compelled to take
them as legal tender.
If we could only get Cleveland and
Waite to go to Honolulu until their terms
expire we might get respectable living
in Colorado.

Ten years ago when fruit trees were
first introduced into the valleys OF the
Gunnison and Uncompahgre it was
somewhat of and open question whether
they would bring forth reward for the
labor. But it is no longer question.
From the time the first trees came into
bearing there has never been crop
failure, and every year has brought forth
an abundant harvest of the very choicest
fruits which have commanded the high
est prices on every market where they
have been introduced.
Thousands upon thousands OF trees and
vines are bearing every year producing
over 100000 pounds Of choice fruit an
nually and this is but a commencement.

He made his first appearance in public
life in 1872, when he was elected TO con-

THE NEW vlcERoY OF INDIA.
He Has Distinguished Himself In the Mil

He Has Distinguished Himself In the Mil
itary and Diplomatic Service.
The appointment of Sir Henry Wylie
Norman to be viceroy OF India seems to
have taken the political world of England
by surprise. 1t was unexpected and in
many respects at variance with presidents
and the unwritten laws that have generally
prevailed. The custom has been to appoint
only civilians to the place. India is of
course largely held by military domination,
but it has not been deemed polite to empha-
size that fact by making a soldier viceroy.
Service under the government in India has
also generally been considered grave dis
qualification, the theory being that the
viceroy should not be man of local or pro-
vincial views, but one who will govern in
the interest Of the whole empire and not
alone of India itself.
Both these theories have been violated by
Sir Henry's appointment. He is soldier,
and the greater part of his military service
has been rendered in India, besides which
he was for many years a government off
cial there. Sir Henry's experience of five
years as governor of Jamaica and nearly
five years as governor of Queensland, sup
plemented by his intimate knowledge Of
Indian affairs, ought certainly TO ts con
