Delta 10 all Right

DHLTA, CoLo.. Aug. l2.-For the past
two weeks. since the carly fruit began
to ripen. q continuous procession OF teams
has been the rule on the streets OF Delta,
all bringing burdens Of luscious berries,
apricots. peaches, pears and apples for
shipment to the markets in the ninius
camps. The owners Of the orchards are
beginning to receive their returns, and
with the assurance OF further sat
isfactory enlargement OF their pocket
books from the varieties still ungather.
ed. all the trees being loaded to the
point OF breaking down, there is a bright
outlook ahead for the business men;
That the feeling OF security as to the
future prosperity. not only OF the county
in general. but OF Delta in particular is
growing to great proportions, is evidenc-
ed by the handsome and substantial
buildings going up in all parts Of the
town.
W. r. Simpson and Frank Sanders
have large force of men at work on the
brick opera house block, 5oxl2O feet, two
Robertson, W. T. Hawkey and Mr.. Hanks
each has handsome residence under
way. and Frank Sanders is arranging
for the erection Of two handsome brick
residences on Dodge street. The town
has already grown to such an extent as
to require the enlargement Of its water
system, and 1900 feet Of new main is
now being laid.
The machinery for the canning factory
is now in place and will soon be started
up, including machines for making their
cans at home.
There arc two box factories, FIVE saw
mills and one planning mill in the county,
all running to their full capacity. and in
addition to their product. about a car OF
lumber day is received from outside
mills
Outgoing express business has in
creased to such an extent that the D. 4
II. G. Express company now leaves car
here every day for Ouray, Telluride. and
other points in that direction. and in
addition to its contcnts about half
car day is billed to Gunnison, Salida.
Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Denver.
The second cutting Of alfalfa is now in
progress. the yield being very heavy. and
insuring the feeding Of several thousand
head OF stock during the coming winter
Aside from the feeding OF horses and
mules brought down from the mining
camps, at least $4,000 worth OF fat
beef cattle will be shipped from here
during the winter asd spring.
The only mining in progress in this
county is a small placer near the lower
end of the Black Canon. and two coal
mines, operated by Norton Winton
and Joseph Rollins. furnishing all the
fuel for local demands.
A great many OF the fruit growers ara
putting in grading machines and evap-
orators. 80 that mono but the largest
fruit may be shipped, the smaller grades
being dried and sold in that form. This
will make great reputation for Delta
county fruit, which already stands high
in the market, and will insure ready sales
for all that can be raised for years to

His Fee.

B.F. Hamilton of Biddeford. Me-,
never talks much about his defense OF
an individual who was arrested and ar
raigned for breaking into tewelry store
and stealing lot of watches The court
assigned the shrewd and energetic Bid
deford attorney to defend the prisoner.
"Ididn't do it." the prisoner told the
LAWYER. II wouldn't do such thing as
that ON my life Really, Mr.. Hamilton,
didn't do it. You can take my word
as you hear me tell you. but l suppose
they'll railroad me- "
The trial was held before Judge Viz
gin. The prisoner was acquitted, and
when he met his lawyer in the after
noon said to him:
"What is the amount of your bill?"
well, about 800" replied the law
yer.
Would you take 1852" asked the
free man -.
"Well, that's better than nothing, ="
said the lawyer, and he said, "Twenty-
five 1t is. -
They stepped outside, and the dis
charged man said to the lawyer, "Say,
If you IL wait until get to Boston SO l
can sell those watches I'll send you the
$685."

He struck the President.

Gus Butterworth, the popular boni-
face of the Ridgeway House, is proba-
bly, the only living man who, literally
speaking, struck president OF the Unit
ed States and received thanks instead OF
a term in Jail for it. Mr.. Butterworth
once gave it to Benjamin Harrison in
the neck, and he lives to tell the tale.
1t was while President Harrison was
living in his Cape May cottage. MIR.
Butterworth was running a hotel not
far from the executive residence. One
day while enjoying a ride on trolley
car Mr. Butterworth, who happened to
be sitting behind short, thickset man
with gray hair and beard, noticed a
very large, healthy mosquito getting its
bloody work in on the back of the thick
set mans neck. Acting on very nat
ural impulse, Mr.. Butterworth raised
his right hand and brought the palm of
it down on the back of the mans neck
with resembling slap. The man turned
quickly around, and Mr.. Butterworth
saw that he was the president of the
United States.
81 beg your pardon" said Mr.. But
terworth, "but there was mosquito on
your neck.
"Thank you very much" remarked
the chief executive cordially. "Judg-
ing from the force Of your blow, don't
think the insect will give me any more
trouble. I don't use slang very often,
but this is the first time ever got it in
the neck-at least in that fashion. "
Then Mr.. Butterworth plucked the
dead mosquito from the presidents
neck, and he and Mr.. Harrison entered
into a pleasant chat on general topics.
Mr.. Butterworth has that mosquito yet.

Osceola and Forrest.

MANY wears before the civil war, when
Forrest was filling an engagement IN
Charleston, playing nightly to large and
enthusiastic audiences, I was q mere
lad and was wild with delight when
the night came that could go to hear
him.
In the audience was the Indian
chieftain Osceola and half dozen Of
his braves, who were then captlves.
They had been pining in confinement,
and prompted by the humane motive OF
affording them some diversion the au-
thorities took them to hear Forrest play.
His grand looks and majestic figure
caught the copper hued auditors at once,
and they appeared entranced from the
very outset Forrest soon observed the
strange group and Immediately formed
design to interest them particularly,
for suddenly, in the midst of a STIRRING
scene, he emitted an Indian war whoop.
II fairly electrified his audience, and the
effect on Osceola and his party was
magical Jumping to their feet instan-
taneously, they gave back an answering
whoop that rent the air with its mighty
roar and fairly chilled the blood of
many nervous nearer. Two or three
ladies tainted
The whole thing was SO sudden, SO
strange and startling that 1t made a
vivid and lasting impression on every
soul in that assemblage. Forrest was
frequently heard to recall the episode,
and he was won't to declare that the
action of those untutored warriors was
the greatest compliment ever paid to
his powers as an actor.-Washington
