LAND IN DELTA COUNTY.
Eastern People Are 8uYins In coioraco's
Fruit Bet.

Howard Russell, proprietor Of The
DELTA INDEPENDENT, is in Denver on
business. Mr.. Russell reports favorable
conditions in the fruit belt and believes.
from all Indications, that the season will
be good.
"A good many eastern people have
been looking around Delta county lately"
said Mr.. Russell, -and they all seem to
be OF the opinion that Colorado just now
offers better opportunities for home in
vestments than do many OF the other
states. l think that as much land will
be sold in Delta county this year as last"
MIR. Russell states that the indications
are bright for keeping the canning fac
tory at Delta. An effort is being made
to have it removed elsewhere. The new
Delta creamery is doing exceedingly
well.-Denver Times.

western Slope Fruit Land.

Outside OF the mining districts, and
even some OF them would have to be
excepted. no part OF Colorado in the past
three or four years enjoyed . larger
measure OF prosperity than the fruit
valleys OF Mesa, Delta and Moatroee
counties in the western half Of the state.
1t is becau e, like the gold camps, they
have had good market for their prod
uct.
When these valleys were first settled
il was an open question whether fruit
could be grown at profit. Ioet OF the
early settlers, the true pioneers OF that
region. believed that in time horticulture
would become their chief reliance and
their leading industry. But il takes time
to plant and bring into bearing an orch
ard even OF peach trees. So FOR several
years the people have lived upon hope.
so far as horticulture was concerned.
But that is all changed now. The
success OF horticulture, and particularly
Of peach culture, has been demonstrated
by several years OF profitable industry.
The question now is how soon fruit land
may be brought under cultivation, SO
that returns may be secured from invest
menss made ye.r By yesr. Each ysss

BUSINESS REVIEW

streets for Nov. IS.
Issued Every Fortnight-Trade Con-
ditions-Credit-S Stocks.
Money-Real Estate.

Following are the principal points
in the fortnightly Hawaiian Brad
streets for November Is:
Still we are unable to chronicle any
great change in the commercial situa-
tion In general We may say that the
word quiet, may rightly be used when
speaking of the present commercial
activity. Prices are firm and the vol
ume of business shows scarcely any
increase from that of our last report.
Preparations for the holiday trade
are being made on quite an extensive
scale New goods in staples and nov
elites coming in by every carrier from
California In dry goods lines there is
one class of goods namely, new pat
terms in dress goods, that is meeting
with ready sale, even to a degree sur
prising when compared with other
lines.
The credit system so long prevail
ing; at this time is especially con-
demned as collections prove hard and
slow.
The new firm of A. E. Murphy & Co.
will open in the Arlington block as
soon as their boot and shoe stock is
ready on the shelves.
The outlook is good for a busy sea-
son and the end of this year and the
beginning of the next will undoubted-
ly prove satisfactory.
Blackley has cleared and the mystic
rious departure of S. ]. Macdonald is
town talk. 81 was a stranger and We
took me in" are words that at this
time, are running in the public mind
with several transpositions.
Keep your eyes open for the next
arrival. And, by the way, who will be
the next to go?
Six new firms opened as many places
of business in two weeks.
StOcks.-The interest in sugar stock
has not abated, through transfers just
as this moment are not so numerous
or in such large amounts as has been
the case previously. The investor will
not sell and the speculator for the most
part is waiting. Prices remain firm
with slight upward tendency. Con-
siderable advances have been made in
the price of some of the higher rated
stocks.
Real estate.-The demand is good
but the available supply of the right
kind of property comes forward sc
slowly, with the tendency to hold fol
,, future gains, limits the volume of ex-
changes. Prices remain at a good fig
ure, with no prospects of a drop.
F1nancial.-MOney rates show ne
marked change. Borrowers find nc
difficulty in raising funds on good Sc.
curity at low interest.
Eight building permits were issued
| in two weeks.
One patent has been filed. It is No

Took Ducks.

p. Creda, an Italian lad, seems to
have quite mania for running away
with other peoples goods and always,
as he has it "just for fun" A short
time ago, young Creda attempted to
walk off with some gold fish at the
fishmarket. He was arrested but allow
ed to go on his way with the warning
that more serious results might fol-
low should he again attempt such a
trick. Yesterday he was arrested on a
warrant sworn out by Jack Hays, the
former circus clown on the charge of
stealing two ducks. The boy was ques-
toned at the police station and ad-
mitted that he had taken the ducks
only, however, for the sport of the
thing.
