trim for their hard work later in the

the winning, by their crack team,
of the championship pennant of 1897,
making the fourth successive time they
will have earned the proud distinction.

FOURTEEN YEARS OLD.

This issue closes the fourteenth year
Of work for The INDEPENDENT in this
rich valley and finds it with larger
subscription list than at any former time
in its history. Itis customary for publish
ers about this time of year to be using
the columns Of their papers as a means
Of publicly dunning their subscribers,
but we are glad to say that under
its present management THE INDEPEND-
ENT has meyer found it necessary to re-
sort to this practice. Our subscribers
are among the most honest and prompt
paying people on earth and they walk
into the office and pay without being
asked to. They are class OF people
with whom it is a genuine pleasure to
do business and it is unnecessary to say
we appreciate this popularity on their
part.
From time to time, as business will
permit, we are adding to our facilities
in the way Of type and machinery and il
the present rate Of increase in our busi,
ness shall continue we will soon be in a
position to do much better work for the
development and upbuilding of both the
town and county.

The Denver Republican suggests that
the Chamber of Commerce Of that city
invite horticulturists Of other states to
visit the fruit valleys Of Colorado at the
expense Of that body. 1t suggests that
. special car be furnished and expresses
the opinion that the localities visited
would make suitable arrangements to
entertain the visitors. Delta county will
take good care Of all OF this class Of visit
ors who can be induced to come to this
section.

ITO MOVE OR NOT TO MOVE"

That is the question which will very
soon be agitating number OF people in
this county who have been fondly hoping
that wealth would come pouring in an
endless golden stream into their Golfers,
without any exertion on their part.
The awakening from this idle dream
of bliss may be a rude shock. but it must
come soon or else the prosperity OF this
section will wane with the coming years.
The following dispatch to the Denver
Republican explains itself:
Grand Junction, Colo, Jan. 90
(Special>-Frank Sanders, of Delta, one
Of the three owners OF the famous Bach
elor group OF mines at Ouray, is in the
city today in consultation with com
mittee Of the Chamber OF Commerce
relative to moving the plant Of the Delta
Canning and Packing company to this
city. The cannery at Delta has absorb
cd nearly all the trade OF the Western
Slope and they find their transportation
facilities inadequate at the present time.
They seek location in this city to in
crease the size Of the plant and to en-
Joy the railway facilities furnished by
this terminal point.
This 10 the first shock of awakening.
Mr.. Sanders has been putting his money
into all kinds Of enterprises in Delta and
snIs particular one mas from the day OF
it, inception been a constant drain upon
his resources, not because such business
will not eventually become profitable,
but because it is always hard to force q
way into any market for new goods which
compete with older brands. This the
Delta cannery has successfully done and
now its owner is confronted with the
fact that after having gone to the ex-
pense Of establishing. trade he cannot
get the producers to furnish the necces-
sary raw material to enable him to
supply the demand.
Those who have been in position to
raise tomatoes and other vegetables re-.
quired have found it perhaps more profit
able to ship their output direct to the
mining camps in a fresh state and have
felt the necessity OF getting every dollar
out OF it that they could. Nothwith-
standing this it might be well for them
to consider that the maintenance of a
successful canning factory means every
year wider market and greater demand
for these articles furnished and with an
eye to the future they should be willing
to stand a small proportion of the loss Of
starting such an enterprise by supplying
material at low figures and in Sufficient
quantity to equal the demand.
So far as the railroad rates are CON
cerned we believe that the d. & r. G.
will readily see that it is to their interest
that rate should be made from Delta
which would be fully as satisfactory as
anything that could be offered at Grand
Junction. and il our people will show a
proper interest in the matter they will
In the future reap a rich reward.
