atai;Accident.

Last Friday evening about :
O'Clock the four-year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. doe Pregent was run
over by road cart and received
injuries that resulted in his death.
He was riding across First on the
west side of Main street on a tri-
cycle when he was run down by
the cart, (which contained four
children, two ittle girls of Sheriff
Hunts and two of Jack McCarthy's
children. TIE wheel of the cart
struck the tricycle. and threw him
off and it is tl,onght the wheel ran
over his head, the only marks being
on the back and side of the head.
Just back of the ear. He never
fully regained Consciousness and
died about 0 o'clock Saturday
night. Mrs, Pregent was near him
when the accident occurred. Those
who saw it claim that the cart was
going slow, bat just how the acci-
dent happened no one seems to
know exactly, but it is evident that
neither the child nor the children
| i'm the cart saw one another.
The funeral services took place
from the Catholic church at 2
o'clock Monday afternoon after
which the interment took place at
the Delta cemetery.

Waiting for Water.

George II. Rawson, of Maher,
when he was in Montrose last week
stated to representative of the
Press that the sFruitland Land
& Live Stock Co." had in course
of construction an irrigation pro-
ject that would bring under culti-
vation nearly 100000 acres of land
lying on the opposite side of the
Gunnison river and mostly in Delta
county.
The president of the corporation
is NJ. o. Gould, of Aspen, and G..
b. Gould. of Denver. is secretary
Associated with these gentlemen
are four of their brothers, beside a
number of eastern capitalists.
The original plans of this pro-
ject as now mapped out is to build
dam in Montrose county across
a narrow gorge at foot OF Onion
valley lis feet in height and not
more than 300 feet in length. The
reservoir formed by this dam will
cover about 100 acres of land and
hold sufficient water to irrigate
three or four townships in Delta
county.
In order to secure water as
quickly as possible for settlers that
are already on the grounds, the
company proposes to put in a
temporary dam above where the
permanent one is to be built and
construct ditch to the mesa (the
one lying just across the great
Black Canyon north of Montrose.
The company has the ditch COM
pleted which takes the overflow
water from Crystal creek and is
now working on the Iron Springs
Canyon ditch, 1t has large port
able saw mill on the ground and
will operate it to saw out several
hundred Thousand feet Of lumber
to be used in building fumes
around the Iron Springs canyon.

Factory to be Opened.

The suit brought by j, F. Nc
Farland against the stockholders
of the Colorado Sugar Factory
company was settled in Denver
this week. The factory is to be
reorganized for one million dollars.
The bank releases the lands, per-
personal property and all claims
and in lieu thereof will receive
$4,000 in cash and $4,000 in
stock, upon which the company
has an option to purchase inside
of one year at fifty cents on the
dollar.
This will be good news to the
creditors of the bank and also to
all those interested in the growth
of sugar beets and the success OF
the factory. 1t means that work
will be begun at once to prepare
for crop in 1904 and this will
mean more to the growers than
ever before, giving them ample
time aud positive assurance of a
market for the crop op.--Grand June

PAonia. Items

From the Gazette.
Next quarter this postoffice will
be made presidential Office as the
business has increased to that point.
A postoffice drops into the presi-
Dental list whenever the gross
receipts reach 81, 300. The Gazette
was established in the fall of 1900
and that year the gross receipts of
our postofice amounted to s795.
This will serve to indicate to those
living outside of Paonia something
of our growth and it is a safe pre-
diction that this year will disclose
the greatest increase in postotfice
business in the history of our city,

The way Its Done.

The work of laying the heavy
broad gauge rails on this division
is being rapidly done. Workmen
60 ahead replacing every fifth tie
with broad gauge one. Following
these comes machine called an
''adzer," on account of its adze like
work. 1t is worked by steam from
the locomotive and is showed along
planning down the ties each side Of
the narrow gauge rails as it goes,
leaving fiat surface for the new
rails. 1t will move at about the
rapidity of man on foot and does
the work Of hundreds of men.
Track laying follows and it is esti-
mated that the work will be finish
ed to Somerset by July l. 1t will
be short job from Delta up, as
workmen will have gone ahead and
withdrawn nearly all of the spikes
from the south rail, leaving just
enough to hold it in place. When
the day for moving this over comes
the remaining.spikes will be quick
ly withdrawn by large force of
men and the rail showed over,
twenty-four hours being sufficient
for the whole distance.

Hotchkiss School Census.

The school census of Hotchkiss.
which has recently been completed
shows net gain of 95 or IS per
cent over last year. Last year the
total aumber listed on the school
census was 27O against 365 this
season. This is almost half the
number that Delta has, lacking
only 43. The census of Delta.
while not as large as it was last year
is considered a fair one and really
there is no falling of in the num-
Der Of children, but the previous
census contained some Discrepancies
that served to swell the figures.

enthusiasts of that place. About
the time they arrived snow began
falling in greatgobs and they fell
all over themselves to get away

garding the Delta Liquor company

to call the attention of the public
to the fact that The INDEPENDENT
has chopped" 1t will be noticed
that the "bullet' headed writer
says that the article "tells its
! readers of substantial benefits that
accrue to town through having
liquor houses" This statement is
/ a direct lie and we re-publish the
article referred to in order that
the public may know.
We called attention to the fact
some time since to the change of
heart Of the Laborer, which how
ever took place the same week that
it contained the listof nominations
of course no significance could
be attached to this, but the fact
that it did not contain them the
preceding week, when this paper
did, makes one think that deal
might have been made whereby
some one sold his policy" ""princi-
pie" or whatever name this cheap
article should 60 by, for the list of
nominations.
The policy of this paper is what
it has always been and will be
until some Mexican ''greaser" gets
control of it that has no. principle
himself and consequently cannot
understand just why others should
have, when piece of money is in
sight.
'IIow things do change in

this paper was the acknowledged
organ of the booze for revenue party
and the INDEPENDENT represented
the party that was laboring for the
moral betterment of the com
munity. The Independent changed
management temporarily and the
Laborer changed owners and the
policy of the paper, and The INDIE
HENDENr, under its temporary man
agement, tells its readers what sub
stantail benefits accrue to town
through having liqnor houses. 1t
is the policy of some papers to
cater to the powers that be and
their opinions are governed entirely
by the sight of the coin. Do you
suppose the thoughts of getting
the town printing again this year
has caused it to flop from the
stand it took before election ris
it only now appearing under its
true culors.-Laborer.'
The Delta Liquor Co.. which
has opened mp this week is likely
to prove one of the largest and
most substantial business firms
that this city has ever had. The
company is connected with one of
the most prominent firms, of this
kind. in Denver and are putting
in one IF the largest stocks that
has ever been brought to western
Colorado. Both wholesale and
retail business is to be done and it
is the intention of the company to
make Delta the distributing point
for the western slope. \ Weiss is
the popular manager of the Delta
Liquor company aud has been in
the business for a number of years.
Mr.. Weiss understands every
phase of the business and is fitting
| up one of the most complete places
that the city has ever had. As
soon as a suitable brick building
can be obtained it is the intention
of the company to procure it, as
their present quarters, in the build
ing formerly occupied by Carols
billiard hall. is too small to ac-
commodate the stock of goods they
intend carrying. Mr.. Weiss has
the reputation of being business
man and one who rapidly pushes
Il business to the front.
