CONFERENCE BUILDING
WHERE PEACE ENJOYS MEET.
Elaborate Preparations Made at Ports
mouth, N. H.-kavai Stores euild-
ing Remodeied for Conference.

ing Remodeied for Conferences.
Portsmouth. N. H., Aug. 6.-After
a day Of activity in the navy yard the
finishing touches in preparation for
the peace conference were made late
this afternoon and everything is now
in readiness both In the inside and the
outside of the large new naval stores
building where the plenipotentiaries
to hold daily sessions.
The second story of the building is
to be occupied by the peace mission.
The conference room is in the center
of the building over the main en-
trance. Adjoining it is q suite of
three spacious rooms which have been
assigned to the japanese ENJOYS. On
the other side is reception room dedi-
Gated to the representatives of the
United States government. Beyond
this is suite of three rooms for the
use Of the Russian mission.
On either side Of the corridor which
divides the building are large dining
rooms. where midday luncheons will
be served separately to the respective
missions. and In the eastern dining
room Admiral Mead, commandant Of
the navy yard. will serve a banquet to
the ENJOYS, their suites and about
sixty invited guests on their arrival.
Two hreproof rooms have been fitted
up for the storage of documents.
The conference room is imposingly
furnished. A mammoth table In the
center is surrounded by huge chairs
beautifully upholstered in black
leather. On the floor is costly Rus
sian rug. At either end of the room
are mahogany tables adopted for cler-
ical work. The walls of the room are
draped with flags used by the navy in
making the international code signals.
These flags relieve the. barren walls in
all the rooms and are the only decora-
tions. Handsome desks, chairs and ta-
bles make all of the rooms appear in
elegant dignity. Persian rugs are laid
upon the floors.
1t cost the United States govern
ment $4,000 to equip the quarters for
the conference. Without the building
all appearance of newness has been
removed. The borders of the newly
laid cement walk have been sodded
and the gravel walk leading to the
landing. 1000 feet away, has been put
in repair. Everything at the landing
stage has been made ship-shape.
Every available room In the hotel
where the missions are to be quar-
tered has been taken. The city is
filled with small army of newspaper
correspondents representing, in addi-
tion to the press associations and the
great dailies of the United States, jour
mails In Europe and Japan.

no use trying to stop it." We wonder
why this is anyway. OF course, this is
the proper idea for building up town.

Now If Delta man said this we'll
bet dollars to doughnuts" that he is a
long ways from being prominent in
Delta or anywhere else, but is the
rankest "sore-head' that ever came
down the pike. There is no town on
the western slope that can show a
larger per cent of new business firms
than Delta.

Investigation of the Standard Oil
company recommended by the Presi-
dent in the unequivocal command to
begin at once, go to the bottom and
report early" is going to prove a test
of strength of the United States gov
ernment that has seldom been equalled.
The Standard Oil company is one of the
most powerful Industrial and financial
institutions in the world with ramify-
ing interests in banks, railroads, lands,
and great insurance companies, and
when the United States undertakes to
investigate this company it is not to be
imagined where the work will end.
The resolution however, introduced by
Representative Campbell of Kansas,
and which has given that heretofore
obscure young man fame in single
night appeals to the popular imagina-
tion already quickened by the maga-
zine and newspaper articles that claim
to have been expositions of the condi-
tions in the great trust organizations.
Mr.. Campbell is insistent for criminal
prosecution of the company and in re-
sponse to all interviews asserts that he
has the material in hand to prove every
charge which he made before Commits
sioner of Corporations Garfield, and
that these he believes, will make ac-
tion by the department of justice an
imperative requirement. Whatever
the end of this investigation, and no
average mind can begin to see the end,
Mr.. Campbell has set for the govern
ment the biggest task it has under
taken and though the house without re-
spect to party was eager to adopt the
resolution offered by him it is believed
that the party issues of the next cam
paign may be drawn on this very issue.

Some of the newspapers of Delta
county which are being run by recently
imported knockers" are making a
great howl about the money that has
been expended on Delta county roads
and bridges. The trouble is, they have
not been here long enough to realize
the greatness of Delta county. There
is very little doubt but that we have
more invested in bridges than any other
two counties on the western slope.
Five bridges span the Gunnison and
North Fork rivers alone. Besides
there are flourishing towns in both ends
of the county as well as thrifty COM
munities all over the county, making 8
big mileage of wagon roads anecessity.
The fact is the county is most too large
for the comprehension of these pin
headed" individuals.

done that has called forth the wrath of

The Paonia Gazette says that "it is
with considerable qualification that we

we believe that it is running things in
the ground to have grand jury at all,
consequently the name in our opinion
is eminently appropriate.
The Delta independent., 1905-03-03

for an investigation of the officers Of
Delta county is in reality fight on e.
M. Gets, the chairman of the board of
county commissioners.
We do not believe that either one of
these papers really want,a grand jury,
but they have undoubtedly combined to
make great deal of strong talk, more
for the purpose. of intimidating the
county commissioners than any other
one thing. It will be remembered that
all their talk begun about the time the
printing contract was let and they fail
ep get in on it.
This is why there has been so much
strong talk by these papers. There is
but little doubt that these papers have
combined in this fight to vilify the
county commissioners and especially
Mr.. Gets, who has done more to pre-
vent graft" along these lines than
any commissioner Delta county has
ever had. A good many people in the
upper part of the county do not under
stand why this clamor is being made
for grand jury. There are those who
think, perhaps that thereSs some real
cause for taking this costly step. They
have been misled by blackmailing insin-
uations against some of the best men Of
Delta county. 1t is perfectly right and
proper that the county books of every
department be examined at any time,
if there is any occasion to do so. It is
only justice to the outgoing and incom-
ing officials that it should be done, at
the expiration of every term of office.
Anyone understanding the situation
knows why these papers are waging
this personal fight against the commits
sioners, just simply because they have
refused to stand and deliver. For this
reason the people should turn down this
combination of grafters by refusing to
sign petition which has been gotten
up for no other reason than to crafty
the spleen of as rank a set of grafters
as ever disgraced any community. It
is the next thing to blackmail and the
people of of Delta county should see
that those with whom they have en-
trusted their county affairs be not per-
secuted, especially when it is being
done simply to pave the way to . pri-
vate graft. The beginning Of this at
tack on Commissioner Gets was begun
by the Laborer about a year ago a.
rectly after a bill, that seemed exorbit-
ant to the board, was cut down. Any
one can see this bill who desires to, and
the files of the Laborer will prove the
rest of this assertion. Up to the pres
ent year democrat has been chairman
of the board of county commissioners
and Mr.. Gets has only been one of the
board. To accuse him is to accuse the
other commissioners and we do not be-
lieve that either of them would do any
dishonorable act.
The Delta independent., 1905-03-03

The lot of Delta alderman is hard
one. 1t is impossible to follow all the
instructions given by his fellow towns
men. For instance, the city council
have begun to gravel Main street and
about everybody in town has set of
suggestions to offer. Some think that
it is waste of time and money while
others think that the streets should be
macademized. The fact is, if they
should consider these numerous sugges-
tions nothing would or could ever be
done. If you want to run the town it
is necessary to run for alderman first,
and that's not all, you must be elected.
