grade apples We Understand over 10
Meea County A few days ago one OF
the most prominent fruit growers OF
that County was grading his apples and
graded them as follows: No. one apples
one worm hole and No. 2 apples two
-'orm holes. Our apples here, a large
per cent would not grade even number
one according to this rule as our or
chardists have been very careful in
spraying and the apples do not have
more than one worm hole.

The WATERwORkS AND BONDS.

The action of the city council in
placing the water bonds at 81 cents.
instead of as heretofore talked of
was prompted by prevailing con
ditions. In the first place this is
sue is rather large for the assessed
valuation of the town, and again,
the money market is not as good
as couple of months ago. Too,
if an attempt was made to place
the bonds at a small per cent, it
might be necessary to give COM
mission that would amount to any
where from 8 to Is per cent; and
even then great trouble might be
had of disposing of them.
There is no use in trying to gull
the people-that's the way the
council. looks at it-they could
have put the bonds at say 4 per
cent, but when it came to selling
them-that's another matter
and they would have been dis
counted enough, perhaps, to make
10 per cent, while at fair per cent
they would sell readily at par. By
doing this the council could make
the Taxpayers believe that they
were acting for the interest of the
town when really they We're not j.
Their efforts to have everything
open and above b, ard should be
appreciated by Delta people.
There are some who think that
the time allowed for bids is not
sufficient. This may or may not
be the case, but this question of
waterworks has been mentioned
from time to time, for several
months, and there is no reason why
all reliable firms, who do bust
ness Of this kind should not
have taken the interest to keep
up with the matter and as plans
and specifications have been fur
nished them there is no reason why
the contract should not be let as ad-
vertised, if a fair quoto bids are
received.
Hendrie & Boltoff, who have
the contract for constructing the
waterworks at Hotcllkiss are cer-
tainly in position to make the
best bid, especially at this time,
as in many cases money can be
saved by filling ont of fractional
parts of carload lots. Then too,
this company makes speciality Of
this kind of work and is known tu
be thoroughly reliable.
The sooner the work is begun
the better as the expense will be
in accordance with the time i,
consumes for constructing the
works.

Russias Demands.
WAR MATERIAL IMPORTED
Russians Command Chinese Soldiers
No New Treaty Ports In Manchuria
to Be Opened-New Chwang Gus.
toms Fall Into Russia's Control.

London, May 20.-According to a
Pekin dispatch to the Times, dated
May 10, the situation at New Chwang
and in Manchuria, in spite Of procla-
nations and assurances, is unchanged.
There Is a constant flow of Russians
and war material to both the Chinese
and Korean banks of the Yalu river.
Trustworthy evidence, says the dis
patch, confirms the report that num-
bers OF Chinese, described as former
brigands, are Differed by Russians.
They number at least 1000 and carry
a badge inscribed Protectors of the
FcresI'
l-sNewing the Manchurian situation
anu commenting on the apathy of the
powers, the Times correspondent
AYERS that China is agreeing, one by
one, to all the demands presented by
NJ. Plapcom, the Russian charge daft
flares, which she pretended to reject.
She has already undertaken not to
ALLEVIATE any portion of Manchuria to
any other power, not to alter the pres
ent administration in Mongolia, not to
open any new treaty ports in Man
churia, and has given an assurance
not to employ foreigners in the admin
istration of Manchuria, and whether
China gives her consent or not Russia
retains the telegraph line between
Port Arthur and Mukden.
China also has agreed that Russia
shall have full control of the customs
at New Chwang, and there is little
doubt that an agreement exists giving
Russia exclusive mining rights in the
Mukden province.
The Times correspondent asserts
that on April % M. Plancon handed to
United States Minister Conger an Of
ficial copy Of the Russian demands on
China in the original Russian, written
in his own hand.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS
In Annual Reunion In New OrIean
This Week.

New Orleans, May 20.-The thir-
teenth annual reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans was opened in
the Great Auditorium at the Fair
Grounds at noon Tuesday.
Thousands of veteran soldiers, hun
dreds of beautiful women, and on ev-
cry hand profusion of futtering flags
and waving streamers were in evil
dence. There was martial music with
out limit and enthusiasm unbounded.
over the beauty and success of the
day there was but a single shadow,
and that promises to disappear. This
was the illness of General Gordon,
commander-in-chie OF the organiza-
ton. Nothing but his grim fighting
spirit carried him through the day
without succumbing to collapse. He
was not able to attend the afternoon
session at the Auditorium and re-
manned quietly in his room at the ho-
tel, receiving no visitors.
At the conclusion of General Cor
don's address he led to the front of
the platform Mrs. Stonewall Jackson
and said: ut was my fortune, and /
Will never cease to thank God that it
was my fortune, to follow, to know
we'll and to love Stonewall Jackson.
He is not here, but the best half of him
is here in the person Of his wife. Com
rades, present to you Mrs. Stonewall
Jackson"
In the wild cheers that swept the
hall the fair face from Virginia was
made to know once more how southern
love remembers.

Copper Came From Cyprus.

The word copper is generally admit

was from that island that the ancient
Romans first procured their supplies.
In those remote days Cyprus and
Rhodes were the great copper districts,
and even in our own day new discov-
cries OF copper ore, especially the beau
tiful blue and green ores, from which
the metal is so much more easily OBJ
tanned than from the copper pyrites
and other sulphureted ores Of Corn

London, May 19.-There is a grow

king himself is contemplating a visit
to the United States next year. His
majesty is said to be delighted at the
results of his diplomatic tour of the
continent recently and may extend II
across the Atlantic in 1904. The fact
that the Prince of Wales is a member
of the exposition commission doesn't
mean that the prince only will go to
st. Louis. Stead intimates in the Re-
view of Reviews that the royal visit
is not at all impossible. Other influe-
entail editors are intimating the same

Wants Miles Fired.

Washington, May 20.-There is
much talk in army circles that when
President Roosevelt returns from his
western trip, one of his first acts will
be the retiring of General Miles. Sec
rotary Root, it is believed, is deter.
mined to get rid of Miles at once, es.
pecially since the general gave out a
statement the other day about his trip
to the Philippines. Root showed his
anger by not inviting Miles to a dinner
he gave the general staff the other
night Miles showed no worry over
the snub, and one of his friends said
he would have declined the invitation
had one been rendered.

REBELS HOLDING ON.
Venezuelan RevoIutonlsts Are Net
Easily vanuuished.

Easily vanquished.
Washington, May 19.-Advices Of a
thoroughly reliable character received
in Washington under date of May /,
show that the Venezuelan revolution
lists are not only holding their own
but are making considerable Roadway.
The advices say:
The districts of Coro, Barquisimen-
Bolivar on the Orinoco, and its sur
rounding country. are still in the pow
err of revolutionists. Within sixty
miles Of Laguayrg, in the Rio Chico
district, the revclutionists are holding
forth, and although the government a
few weeks ago sent an expedition
there to drive them out they succeed
ed only in making them retreat, but
within a few days they were again
back there. A battle took place in
which the government lost over thou
sand men and about 500 wounded were
brought back to La Guayara after a
two days fight.
