GREAT FRUIT CROP
IN CLIFTON DISTRICT


In Saturdays issue of the palisod 4.
Tribune appears a Commencement M
very interesting statement repardine
the great fruit crop raised this veal
IN the Clifton district. which lie,
ABOUT hve miles east of Grand .Tunc
uon and six miles west of Palfsade
over two hundred cars of fruit viii
ne shipped from the little station a
Clifton this season.
The cultivated portion of the val
ley at Clifton is about three miles
vide and the country tributary fc
CLIFTON extends three miles on each
side. east and west. The soil is IN
surpassed, The depth is actuall,
from fifteen TO sixty feet and VERY
little trace of adobe is found.
In connection with the general
statements regarding the Clifton fruit
district the Tribune gives reports
iIom twenty or thirty individual or.
chards' and the 'easterner" who
reads these reports which are true
IN every particular can but marvel
at the wonderful possibilities Of the
Grand valley as a fruit section We
would be only to glad 10 publish their
reports in full if space permitted.
Regarding the present season $
fruit crop at Clifton the Tribune
says;
There are two fruit associations
doing business at Clifton. one a
branch of the Grand junction Fruit
Growers association, and the other
a branch OF the Independent Fruit
Growers association. Both have
large buildings and ample facilities
for handling large amounts of fruit.
Besides, there is the shipping house
established by Geo. Middendorf of
Chicago, who has several fruit
ranches in that part of the valley and
whose interests are so large that he
was justified in putting in shipping
house of his own.
The association at Grand Junction
has already shipped 80 cars of pears
and the end of the season will bring
the total up to 30 or 40 cars. Last
year this same association shipped
, cars of apples and the manager,
w. a. Miller, thinks the output this
year will be larger.
The Independent association has al
ready shipped II cars and the
manager, o. w Foster, estimates that
the total shipments will amount to
80 cars. This association was estab-
lished only this year and OF course
has to work against the unfavorable
condition of being newly established.
Geo. Middendorf has shipped 1G
cars of canteloupes. besides quite an
amount of pears and other fruit, d.
NJ I.andreth, who is looking after
Mr. Middendorf's shipments, esti-
mates that they will ship 25 cars of
apples It is in the eanteloupe bust
ness that Mr. Middendorf has excel
led, more than any other. He had
125 acres of his own besides about
a hundred acres that was under his
control and shipped through him.
II will thus he seen that the total
output from Clifton viii this year
exceed last years total shipment Of
200 cars, for besides the shipments
through these three houses there
have been many independent ship
pers.
In conclusion it may be said that
there is plenty of raw land around
Clifton and that it may be had for
from 500 to $500 per acre. The
orchards alredy planted and in bear
ing sell at from 800 up to as high as
900 an acre.

AT DELTA SATURDAY.

Saturday morning at o'clock the
special train chartered by the high
school foot ball and basket ball teams
LEFT this city for the little city of Del.

crowd, and nothing but praise can be.
given Delta for her royal treatment
oil the Grand Junction contingent and
very warm friendship was Great
ed between the two cities.
AT two thirty the foot ball game
was called. The Delta boys were clad
IN maroon Jerseys and regulation out
MS and the Grand Junction team trot-
ted onto the field attired in their
neat new uniforms of black and
orange striped jerseys and brown
pants. and We're greeted with loud
cheers.
Delta kicked Off and the Junction
tackle fumbled the ball badly and
Delta downed the ball on the June
ton yard line. A few smashing
plays carried the ball across the line
for Delta's first touchdown in less
than Two minutes. The trial for goal
failed.
BY a fake eriss-cross Delta secured
teen minutes, although the boys from
this city held them well and half end
ed with the score 10 10 0 in DeIta's
favor. The sturdy lads from Grand
Junction held Delta for downs five
times in the first half
The second half was q different
story. The Junction high school boys
played the Delta team to a standstill
and then some, and Delta knew they
had been playing ball when time was
called
At one time Delta had the ball on
the functions five-yard line and by
holding them for downs the junction
boys got the ball and by a series of
terrific line smashes by Hoy. full

venting. touchdown.
The home team advanced the ball
ninety five yards in -the second half
mostly by center plays, while Delta
did not make single gain by cen
ter play. AT one time the ball was
four inches from the Delta line but
an attempt TO go through the line
failed and the game ended with the
ball ten feet from their line.
Both teams played superb game
and while the Junction team was
rather weak on end runs il outplayed
the Deltans in grand style on the
line plunges. II was the general i'm
preston of those who saw the game
that though the local team lost the
game is has far better team and can
outplay the other eleven and probably
will when they clash in this city,
October 27. The Delta team out
weighed our team about seven pounds
to the man.
The basket ball game called after
the foot ball game was very interest
ing and was won by Delta with a
score of three to two, The Junction
girls had only practiced the girls
rules, insisted upon by Delta, on two
nights and were heavily handicapped
by this. Miss Gourley made both
scores for Grand Junction.
After the game an elegant recep
tion was given the Grand Junction
crowd in one of the lodge roms and
every one left for home on the spec
ial at ten O'Clock in the evening with
a warm feeling in their hearts for the
Delta people.

s5TS3 "A Edrce AS IL 1S
4 The new code contains a provision
authorizing the State board of health
to send an agent to any locality from
which birth and death returns have
not been received in order to collect
them. Instead of this provision, the
law relative to birth and death returns
ought to be wiped out entirely. AS it
is now, the town clerk or chairman
OF the board of health receives twenty
five cents for each birth or death re-
ported. Some clerks send in nearly
complete returns, while others send in
partial returns and still others send
in none at all. Statistics of this kind
are so incomplete as to be utterly
worthless, and the information could
all be secured from the census reports
anyway. The reports received by the
State board Of health show a total of
], 1875 deaths in the State during the
past month, which is possibly two
thirds of the total number that have
occurred. The returns show that of
these deaths, 265 were due to consump-
ton; twenty-eight to pneumonia;
sixty-seven to cancer and seventeen

FOR ROADS AND BRIDGES.

Proposed Road and Bridge Bill and
Amendments to Constitution.
Road and bridge legislation has
materialized in the house and senate
in a bill drafted by joint committee
of the house and senate, being a sub
stitute for the measures introduced by
Representative Ole Peterson of Brigh-
ton and Senator A. 0. Eberhart of
MankatO.
The new bill is considerably differ
ent from the original Peterson and
Eberhart measures &nd from the bills
which failed to pass two years ago.
Under the new bill, instead of approx
ing or rejecting applications for State
aid as they are sent in by the county
commissioners, the State highway
commission apportions the entire road
and bridge fund among the several
counties, taking into consideration
the area of the counties. the amount
Of money which they expend for road
purposes, the character of roads
which they need and any other factors
which may legitimately enter into the
situation.
After it has been determined what
amount each county will receive each
year from the road and bridge fund,
the highway commissioners and county
commissioners will determine what
kind of roads to construct, whether
permanent roads such as generally
built in the southern part of the State
or roads Of more or less temporary
character, such as are frequently con-
structed in northern Minnesota.
1t is thought that the bill as drafted
will enable county to expend all of
the State aid any one year for bridge
purposes. The constitution provides
that not more than one-third of the
fund shall be used for bridges, but the
legislators who have drafted the bill
40 not interpret this as prohibiting
one county from expanding more than
one-third of it's share for bridge, if
it deems best. The legislators con-
strue the law as applying to the total
fund, not to the share of a single
county.
The measure provides for the ap-
pointment by the governor of three
highway commissioners who shall
serve without salary. The State may
not pay more than one-third of the
cost of constructing any road or
bridge, the other two-thirds to be paid
by the county and township. No
county shall receive more than three
per cent of the total fund or less than
one-half of one per cent.
Following the introduction of this
bill is a bill introduced in the house
by Representative L. II. johnson re-
moving the constitutional restrictions
on the State road and bridge fund by
proposed amendment which permits
the legislature to levy a road and
bridge tax as it's wisdom may direct.
Under the present amendment to the
