MACHINERY in PLACE.
Big Compressor at River End Of
Gunnison Tunnel Working.

Manager Knowles Of the Taylor
More Construction company, contract.
or for the Gunnison tunnel, was about
the happiest man in the county on ac-
count of the successful starting of the
big compressor at the river end of the
tunnel last Monday afternoon at four
o'clock. After the machinery was
placed there was not single hitch in
the movement of the Leyner compress
sor, which is driven by ls0-horse
power engine. She responded promptly
to the application Of steam and the
drills will do great work. They are
putting in rounds of holes eight feet
deep in the breast of the big bore and
each shot breaks an immense amount
of rock. which requires 4 number of
men to keep it out of the way so that
the work will not be delayed. 1t is un-
derstood that Mr.. Leyner. who fur
nished the machinery, has a patent
loader that will be put in the tunnel on
trial, and if it proves successful, it will
facilitate driving ahead very materially.
Thursday the tunnel at the river end
was in $50 feet and at Cedar Creek en-
trance COO feet. The contractors on
the first five miles of the South canal
are getting along in good shape. Or

Brother.in Law Fish'.

A very serious difficulty took place
last Friday evening on Stewart mssa,
about two miles from Paonia as the re-
suit of family quarrel, in which
Robert Brown and John Mack were both
badly hurt. In the beginning Brown
struck Mack with garden rake teal
ing the flesh from both sides of of the
head to the skull and knocking him
down. Mack then drew a pistol and
shot Brown through the thigh, the bull
let passing upward through the body,
inflicting q very dangerous wound.
Mack's wounds too are considered
dangerous The two families live on
on the same farm and the two men are
brother-in-laws. The father of Mack
was also mixed up in the fight, but was
not badly hurt. Mack gave himself up
and was let out on bond to appear at a
preliminary hearing. Neither side, it
is said, cares to prosecute the case as
it was purely family affair.

A REAL ELECTION.
Three Candidates in the Field for
School Director.

The election of one school director m
district No. l. which takes place on
next Monday, May 1st, seems to have
aroused greater interest than is usually
shown. This probably is for two rea-
sons, first, that the people desire to
elect as the successor of Mr.. Curtis.
man who shall be as able and as worthy
Of confidence. And second because of
their being three sspirants for the Of
nee, each of whom of course has friends.
School district No. l, taking in the
city of Delta, and parts of California
mesa, Garnet mesa and the Gunnison
valley, is the largest and most import
ant school district in Delta county and
there is no question but that the ad-
ministration of its business affairs
should be in the hands of men of recog-
nized business standing and experience.
They should be substantial property
owners and tax payers and permanently
established IN the district. During
1904 the school board purchased the
monastery building on Garnet mesa,
and among the matters which will need
the careful consideration Of the direct
ors very soon will be the proper and
necessary use for this property, to-
gether with the best manner of pre-
viding funds to complete its purchase
50 as to be as little burdensome on the
t.xpsyers ss pes.ihle. .sss,...ss;;..... -.
It may be borne in mind that both.
men and women residing in school dis
trict No. are entitled to vote IN this
election. They need not be taxpayers,
but must be of legal age and qualified
in general as voters.
As above stated there is to be but
one director to elect at this time. The
three candidates ase: H. W. Davis, 4.
H. Stockham and H. H. Wolbert.
Both Mr.. Wolbert and Mr.. Stockham
are well known in Delta. The former
is one of Delta's most energetic busi-
ness men and is known to be in every
way capable of filling this position. On
the other hand Mr.. Stockham too, is
eminently capable.
His educational qualifications are ex-
ceptionally strong. After receiving a
college training, DR.. Stockham WIS
teacher in the Eastman Business col
leGe.
Mr.. Davis the third candidate in the
race has not been in Delta long. but
since coming here has taken consider
able interest in all public matters, both
political and otherwise.
There is no pay attached to this office
and under the law the county treasurer
is the sole custodian of the money Of
the school district, so no financial bene-
fit can accrue to anyone, either directly
or indirectly, from this office.
No voter in school district No. l.
should fail to vote at this election. for
all who do not vote certainly have no
right for complaint afterward. They
should endeaver to select man who
represents the taxpayers. and of whom
It cannot be said that he needs the Of
ice, for it would be poor time to ex-
ercise charity.
The polling place IS ut the Town
hall. (Town Clerks office). The polls
are open only from loo until 500

 being that June 3 is apt to be pretty

Presumably, though, it will be governed by the sentiment of the whole association as expressed at the coming meeting. 1t is also quite likely that the reunion will be held wherever the Arizona contingent may designate, if it interests itself in the matter, as three states have al- ready been favored and Arizona would in the nature of things be accorded hearing next in order.-Republican.

of the Grand Lodge of Arizona, the members of AztIan lodge who attended the annual sessions travelled to and from Phoenix under the personal care and guidance of Brother Hathaway and the dreary miles of desert and canyon were shortened by his unfail- ing good nature, wit and kindness. In 1877 he represented Ysvapai county in the ninth legislative assembly, which met in Tucson, and brought the capitol from that city to Prescott. In 1890, and Tn 1891, he served the city as member of the city council. He was not ich man, but he had suffi- cient of this worlds goods to satisfy his wants and no man ever lived in Yavapai county, who, quietly and un- ostentatiously, gave away more in charity than did our deceased brother. He was a good citizen, respected by those who knew him and loyal at all times to his friends, his home town and her interests.
 By the death of Brother Hathaway a good citizen has been lost to the ter ritory, a true and worthy brother to the fraterLaity, and the places which have known him will know him no more forever.
 We have reverently laid his remains to rest on the hill overlooking the city he loved so we'll, but the memory of his. virtues is recorded in our hearts and, in token of our sorrow, be it resovled that this memorial be spread in full upon our minutes and that the lodge be draped in mourning for thirty days.

It Concludes That President Castro Possesses Documents With Which He Holds in Check United States Department of State.

PARIS, April l.-Temps, in an arti- cle dealing with the situation in Venezuela says that the apparent ap- proval of some American newspapers, which give interviews by President Castro, partly explains the inaction of the United States in the premises.
 The ne Wspaper points out that the rivalries between the New York and Bermudez Asphalt company and the Warner Quinlan Asphalt syndicate have caused years of litigation and enormous expense and says: "The New York and Bremudez Asphalt company carries the day, but only to find itself facing President Castro, leagued with it's competitors and arm ed, and it appears with certain com promising documents relative to for mer litigation and with which, it is said he holds in check the department of state at Washington.
