Fear the Water.

Those living in the lowlands OF the
Uncompahgre and Gunnison river val
leys have been somewhat uneasy for the
past week Oh account OF the unusually
high water. Sunday night it was
rumored that the Lake Park reservoir
was in danger OF breaking and as the
Gunnison, into which it's waters would
flow, was already crowding its banks.
and then some. those along its banks had
good reason to fear the consequences.
Many Of the families OF North Delta
went TO higher ground to spend the
night. some camping and others going
to the hotels and some stopping with
friends in the city.
The Uncompahgre has been somewhat
his her IN comparison OF the two streams
and where it flows into the Gunnison
there is considerable back water over
spreading valuable lands and doing
considerable damage TO growing crops
in that section. MIR. Heck, who lives
between the junction Of the two rivers,
was forced to move out last Sunday, the
water being about eight, ichnes deep in
his house.

Has ! Narrow Escape.

Sunday evening about Z clock Millard
Fairlamb and Avon Salisbury, who in a
small boat we're trying to dislodge tree
which was turning the current OF the
UncompahRre towards Mr.. Nutter's
house. which was almost surrounded by
water, were overturned and Attorney
Fairlamb had something OF a narrow
escape. When he emerged from the
water he seized the boat and hold on
and finally secured a firm foundation
on an island. A rope wac secured and
thrown to him and he was towed to the
mainland. He was somewhat chilled by
the ducking. but has experienced no
bad effects from 1t.
Mr.. Salisbury got out with very little
trouble.

GUNNIsoN TUNNEL IN SIGHT.
oaIy $40 Acres Mere y be Subscribed to Meet
Nlth tse leaulssneats q the Government


For the past few weeks farmers have
been subscribing for Gunnison tunnel
water at rapid rate.
When the fist meetings we're held
and only about 20.0 600 acres were sub
scribed it was thought that some time
would elapse before the necessary
amount would b-, subscribed.
Monday morning the full amount Of
stock subscribed for was secured from
Montross. Olathe and other points we're
received and by adding the amount sub
ecribed here it was found to be only
about 5000 acres short OF the stipulated
amount. 1t is likely that by this time
most Of the remaining stock has also
been taken.
The full $1,000 shares is not required
to secure the construction OF the tunnel
by the government. In the neighbor-
hood Of 5000. it is claimed by those
who know. will be sufficient. However,
the capacity will be governed by the
amount subscribed. consequently those
who have not signed will not and can
not secure water for their lands as it
will not be transferable.
Following is list OF those who have
signed for water stock in the vicinity Of
Delta.

Montrose l5..Delta II.

The first game OF ball that Montrose
ever won in Delta, in our recollection
was won here Sunday. not because the
Montroee team was so many, but the
Delta team the ragged edge OF nothing
Both teams played like they didn't like
to do II, but as Montroee did not use
their best pitcher only in the last inning
1t is presumed that they could have
made the game different but seemed
to want to let the home team down
easy.
The great feature OF the game was
the Delta boys going to sleep on first
base whom they might have been on
third and dying there after the home
plate had looked good to them several
times.

A Cloudburst.

Last Thursday night a clondburst
took out the small bridge near the tank
on the Southern about half way between
Vance junction and Ophir Loop. and
washed considerable portion OF the
track down into the valley aud it will be
several days before trains will be running
with any degree OF regularity. The
bridge that was washed out vas only
twelve feet long, but the new one will
have to be about forty. as the water en-
larged the gulch to that extent. Pas
sengers aud mail will be transferred,
but no freight will 60 that way for
probably week.-Telluride Examiner.
