PEACH VALLEY COMPANY.
Much Criticism Against the Company
UneRllcd For.

There has been many hard things said
and published against the Peach Valley
Nursery Company which is unjust. 80
far as we can hear there ia no complaint
from any person who has bought land Of
them; we can not learn but that they are
paying all bills promptly; they have al
ready spent considerable money in Delta
county, are nov spending money, and
expect to spend more money if people
will only bid them welcome.
Mr.. Daniels and Mr.. Johnston are
bringing their families here and a half
dozen other families will be here in a few
weeks. They are employing men sround
Delta in the improvement Of their lands
and paying them cash. They are buying
lumber in Delta for fine residences on
their lands, even after they had better
inducements from Montrose. They have
already spent thousands and thousands
OF dollars; are setting thousands of fruit
trees: have water running there now, and
will have it running all summer. So far
as we can learn they arc not blowing il"
any Delta county people, neither are they
contracting any bills they can not pay.
Had this company located at Grand
Junction they would have been welcomed
with open hands. We are sorry to see a
disposition on the parts OF some OF our
citizens not to welcome any people who
have the money and the disposition 10
develop cur valley.
Let us welcome every settler who is
honest, progressive. en;erprising and
thrifty. Especially those who have money
enough to carry cut their undertakings.

Possibilities of Aluminium.

If aluminium ever becomes available as
a commercial product there will be no
limit TO its uses, for it is far more abund-
ant than any metal or mineral. 1t is con-
tanned in common clay, Of which it con-
stitutes one of the chief ingredients. At
present it cannot be got out Of the clay
except by burning the latter at heat
four times as great as that Of the ordinary
smelling furnace, a heat which cannot
easily be produced except by electricity.
But the progress of chemistry is likely to
discover some new and cheaper process
of extraction. Some of the most alert
minds in Germany, England and this
country are concentrated on experiments
with clay. Scores of patents have already
been taken out in all countries. Any
year may witness the solution Of the prob
lem and the creation of metal which
may relegate steel to the background.
We may live to see cities built Of alum
inum, iucombustible, almost imperish-
able, and so portable that men, like
snails, may carry their houses on their
back when they change their quarters
