THE kEARsARcE's TRIP.

The Kearsarge last week com.
pleted her test trip from Ports
mouth, England, to Ann Harbor,
Maine, having covered the distance
of $500 miles in nine days, four
and one-fourth hours, an average
speed of 1916 miles an hour.
Heavy weather retarded the speed
of the ship and Captain Hemphill
says he could start on a return
trip at once and beat the record
Just made.
The Kearsarge is one of the
largest vessels in the American
navy and ranks among the heaviest
fighters in the world. The trip
just closed is the end of pro-
tracted voyage of fifty-three days,
less than half of which time she
has been at sea, but during which
she has covered a distance of
$500 miles without an accident to
the machinery or stop of any

live in it, or on it.

that looked like grating" to us,

When it comes to water, Delta
has the best water of any valley
town on the western slope and
better than almost any towu in the
state, with the exception of those
located in the mountains. Delta
water may be "mud," sometimes,
but if the Laborer "head-piece''
doesn't mend his ways his name
will be "mud'' in this town for all

POOR POLITICS.

AS matter of economy, the
Democratic senators insist upon
cutting down the governors con-
tingent fund from $1,000 to s2,-
800 and to show that they really
mean to be economical, they at the
same time insist that the attorneys
fees in the fake Democratic sena.
torial contests be paid by the state.
This is much the same brand of
economy that the Democrats have
been practicing in Missouri. All

there is water enough to give Delta

In speaking to a. prominent
business man the other day he
seemed to think that our contem-
porary was the greatest "knocker"
that the town ever had and that he
was injuring the town. We took
the stand that everybody ought to
know, from the matter contained
therein that there was something
wrong with his "sky-piece" and
that it should be overlooked. We
did all we could to make excuses
for him, but finally had to admit
that some of his utterances did
look bad on the outside.

Delta's business houses are in
