DELTA MADE BlIcK
New Brick s Tile Company Now b rull
Operation and are Turning Oh
First Class Article

The Delta Brick & Tile company are
now turning out Brick at a lively clip.
Although not yet in full operation
about 10, 900 brick are being turned out
daily and it is expected that the first
kiln will be burned next week. The
brick are being manufactured from the
blue shale of which there lis an album
dance in this section. The quality Of
brick that this shale makes is very su-
perior to the ordinay Colorado product
and was thoroughly tested at the Can
on City plant some months ago. conse-
quently it is no experiment. About
a dozen laborers are at present employ
ed at the plant and more will, probably;
be added as they are needed. The
company has several big orders already
which will consume the entire outpot
for sometime.
1t is likely that the capacity of the
plant will soon reach Is, 900 daily ~ 1t
present some trouble is being expert
enced on account of not being able to
mix the shale properly and fast enough
to keep things running without loss
of time.
No tiling has yet been made as the
demand for brick is so much greater
than the former at the time being.

A VERY EASY GAME.
The Delta Baseball Team Taxes a
Fall Out Of the Grand juno.
tI0n Team

Inc DeIC3 baseball team gave IHc
Grand Junction aggregation of ball
players one of the worst drubbings
Monday afternoon that has ever been
seen on the Delta grounds. The Grand
Junction boys had been induced to stop
off here on their return from Ouray
Sunday where they had been to play
the team at that place. 1t was seen
from the first that Grayson had the
visitors at his mercy and seemed to be
able to strike them out almost as he
pleased. Grand Junction scratched a
score in the first on a wild throw and
seemed to think that they had a cinch
on the game, but they were not able to
cross the rubber again until the 9Th.
when Morehead, who had made the first
run crossed the plate for the second
time. This with one in the eighth by
Morris was the best that they could do
while the Delta boys pounded both
Dittman and Goodman about as they
pleased and made an even twenty scores.

Owing to the fact that the game was
only arranged for the day before it
cauld not be advertised to any sdvant-
age, consequently the crowd witnessing
the game was comparatively small.
The fact too that the game was called
early SO as to allow time for the game
before the arrival of the west-bound
train which the visitors had to catch
also had an effect on the attendance.
The G. A. r. drum corps furnished
music for the occasion and also helped
to Idrum up a crowd on the street.
Listening to the martial airs may have
been responsible for the way the home
team pounded the ball for thel ong slim
rwo-baggers and home runs.

Very few persons understand the val
ue Of regularity of habits. Meals and
sleeping hours should be fixed ones,
for only harm can result from retiring
one night at 10 and another at u
O'Clock unless the rising hour varies
too. Eight hours Of sleep one night and
six the next is not the way In which to

Rv Associated Press.

New York, July l9.-Leading manu-
facturers of steel plates and shapes
have agreed. at a protracted confer
erce here. to make no change IN
prices. For some time past there has
been more or less talk in the trade
Of an advance in the price Of both
structural steel and steel plates, on
account of the prevailing activity.
Some Of the interests represented at
the conference are understood to have
been in favor of raising prices, but
the proposition was voted down Inc
more conservative interests argued
that an advance in structural steel and
steel plates at this juncture would 90
more harm than good. as they claimed
that it would check the present active
demand for these lines.

METAL PENS.

One Of Ancient Roman Make Has the
Distinctive slit.
Some curious one has collected a
mass Of interesting facts concerning
metallic pens. Some of these refer.
ences run back as far as the four.
teenth and even the thirteenth Gen.
fury, and, cUriOusly enough, in the
case Of the manuscript of Robert d'AFt
tolls, the forger sszI8n, is said to have
used a bronze pen In order to disguise
bis writing and make his deception
more safe. A Roman metal pen is
said to have been found at Aosta, not
a mere stylus, but a bronze pen slit,
and there Is some evidence Of a pen
or reed Of bronze nearly as early as
the invention of printing in the az.
teenth century. More than a hun
dred years ago some steel pens were
made in Birmingham >scr DR.. Priestly.
and some Of these paced into the
hands Of Sir Josiah Mason in his early
days with Mr.. Harrison but all seem to
have been lost. The firSt pen Of metal

Is one in a Dutch patent book of III.
AT about the same time a polite ode
OF Pope's refers TO steel and golden
pen" but these were evidently lux
uries only, and Ii was not until about
the end Of the first quarter Of the last
century that metallic pens became
more generally in use. In the Local
Notes and Queries" in the Birming
ham Weekly Post definite evidence
has been given Of steel pens as early as
1906 and more commonly in 1917, but
II was about 1923 and 1924 that the
great revolution came by which pens
were made by a cheaper prOcess-the
hand screw press which pierced the
pens from steel rolled into tube fash
Ion and the joint formed the slit, but
these required considerable labor to
shape them into pen form. The use
Of the screw press belongs to the pc
Rod Of John Mitchell, Joseph elliot
and Josiah Mason, but on a careful
review OF the facts it seems to be
clear that John Mitchell has the best
claim to be considered as the original
introducer of press made pens.-Buffa.
