The Delta Chief Ditch was one Of the

settlers on the North end OF that mesa,
banded together for the purpose of
building ditch and they chose the

published in Delta county. The boye
worked faithfully all that summer on
the ditch and by seeding time the next
spring had the water running through
although it was u hard pull for then.

View Canning Factory.

! A new corporation has been formed
to erect and operate larger factory in
Delta for canning and preserving fruits.
The capital stock is placed at a quarter
OF million dollars. Very large build
| ings viii be put up in Delta and the
very latest improved machinery will be
installed in the plant, to put up all
manner OF fruits and vegetables in TIN
| and glass, to preserve and pick 9 on an
extensive scale the product OF the
, orchards and farm and to evaporate
overripe and unmarketable fruits.
1t is an admitted fact that the best OF
our peach crop scarcely ever gets
market on account OF it's getting too
ripe to lear the jolts and jars OF hauling
to market. OF a necessity peaches and
apricots must be picked in a rather
green state to bear transportation any
considerable distance and the neglect of
a day in getting this kind Of fruit on it's
way out puts it beyond the shipping
state. With large canne.ies and evapor-
ators this fruit can be realized on,
otherwis, what cannot be used at home
generally is left to fall on the ground
and decay.
Visitors are often struck with the
libera'Ity Of the raisers OF our finest
peaches on visiting their orchards by
their Invitation Of pitch in and help
yourself to all you want when the fact
is the visitor will in all cases select the
frui; beyond the shipping state, as they
are always the finest and best and what
the visitor cannot eat and take away is
lost TO the grower in the end. So there
is method in the generosity shown. A
canning factory will make the market
for just this kind OF fruit ard when
once started, the hearty Invitations will
gradually become fewer and soon

from foundation stone to the cap sheaf
The machinery for generating the
current is OF the very latest improved

every respect. Since the fret trial run
the different parts have been thoroughly

find out in short order the beauty of
electricity over the commercial kerosene
doled out by the standard Oil company.
The force is kept busy wiring residences
and stores and by the middle Of next
