Local Market Firm.

DENVER UNION SrOCK YARDS, Oct
Although receipts here last week
were quite liberal, trade was very sat
isfactory. Eastern markets had hea-
Wy run and were lower but a strong de-
mand and active competitirn here held
values up well. Choice beef steers are
fully as high as week ago. Fancy
grassers sold up to S4.75 with choice at
s4.4O to $3.50 and the fair to pretty
good killers around IS. 60 to s4.25 Cows
closed about steady with a strong de-
mand. One fancy COW sent down by
the Agricultural College brought $40
with others from the same bunch at
$3.50 to SO. 25. Choice North Park
grass cows brought 50 90 to Sc. Is with
bulk of the pretty decent killers at
S2.25 to $3.50. Stock cows are selling
at Sl.5O to s2.25 and in good demand.
Bulls firm and in strong demand, best
bringing s2.25. Veals were higher last
week but supply large today and all ad-
vance lost. Feeders and stockers about
Steods eaiiO II due dSllNe- E-dSleIi Hal n
cts are quoted Is to 35c. lower with
rather light demand but this fact had
very little effect on trade here. De-
mand was better than supply, feature
of the weeks trade being much bet
ter inquiry for the commoner class of
steers. Fancy heavy feeders sold up to
si.25 with most of the pretty good kinds
at 500 to So. 80 and medium to common
light stuff around 81. so to So 90. Mark
ct firm today and the limited offerings
soon closed out.
A fair comparison of prices paid on
this market with quotations at other
points cannot fail but convince the
shipper of the advantage in coming
this way with his cattle. Trade here
for several weeks has been on a much
higher basis, freight and shrink consid
cred, than at the river markets. and
this condition of affairs is likely to con-
tinue all fall. Country demand is very
strong for feeding cattle and orders are
plling up in commission mems hands,
which they are unable to fill because
the cattle are not here. Feeder buyers
are strong competitors of the packers
for anything they can use and all class
es of cattle are selling we'll.

The most fascinating and the most
influential man in public life, living on
the earth in our time, is the leader Of
the Republican party, Theodore Roose-
welt. He is stalwart among stalwarts.
He was at one z-s,e -u1dcr powerful
temptation to break away from his
party and give himself to the fruitless
task of endeavoring to make practice,
reforms as an Independent, now in on
party and then in another. From this
temptation he was saved by his rarc
practical sense. The question he had Il
decide was whether he would stay in o.
go out. 1t came at the close of tn,
Chicago convention in 1854 when Blaine.
to whom he was opposed won over Ed
munds, for whom he had workei.
When it was all over, he wrote:
IL intend to vote the Republican
presidential ticket. A man cannot acc
both without and within his party; h.,
can do either, but he cannot possibly
do both. am by inheritance and b!
education a republican; whatever gooG
| have been able to accomplish in public
life has been accomplished through tn,
republican party. have acted with i:
in the past and l wish to act with it IL
the future.
The most useful man in public lii
in our generation is therefore stalwar,
who believes in working within hl>
mart for tho p,lhli~ GOOD
-
IL am proud of the condition of socla
equality in this country. A man VIII
behaves himself as well as his neighbor,
is as good as his neighbor here, and this
is the only country in the world whcrr
this is true
THE Republican party is not respon-
sible for all the happy conditions sur
rounding us, but it is responsible for
the industrial peace and progress which
our country is possessing. We are not
ashamed of the record of the past. ant
turn to the future with confidence and
hope for our country's future better
ment. We have set ourselves the task
of keeping the terms of our party plat,
form: we must do it.

Stewart For Senator.

The Democratic Senatorial conven-
ton. held in Delta last Friday, nomin-
ated c. II. Stewart, junior member of
the well known law firm of King l.
Stewart. as the democratic candidate
for Senator from the 10th. Senatorial
district. Only delegates from Delta
county were present, the Mesa contin-
gent being conspicuous for their alb
sence. They entrusted proxies to E. A.
Ault which the convention promptly
tabled, declaring them not to be in legal
form.
Mr.. Stewart is bright young man.
bearing an excellent reputation for
character. He will poll as many votes
as any man his party could have nomin-
ated, but the reelection of Senator De-
Long is a foregone conclusion. The
nomination came to MIR. Stewart entire.

For Benefit of Western Slope
Fruit Growers TO Be
Held in Delta.
GOOD FRUIT DISPLAY WANTED.
Prizes Will Be Offered Exhibits to Be
Judged By Agricultural College
Professors

A matter of interest and Importance
10 the fruit growers of the Western
Slope will be Horticultural School to
oe held in Delta some time during the
month of February. Five professors
from the State Agricultural College
will be present to deliver lectures and
give instruction along scientific lines
pertaining to horticulture and, we pre-
sumo, agriculture as WELL This school
IS to continue for one week and will be
attended by horticulturalists and agri-
culturallsts from the different counties
Of the Western Slope.
The reason for calling attention to it
at this time is due to plan by 7. X.
Seaton to have selections of fruit made
to be brought to the school for exhibi-
ton purposes and to compete for prizes
that will be offered. By doing this the
growers will have an opportunity to
learn many things regarding the selec-
ton of prize winning fruit. 1t is MIR.
Seaton's idea to have the instructors
pass on the fruit, award the prizes and
then explain to the growers the differ
ent points on which their judgment is
based. 1t seems to the INDEPENDENT
that this is an excellent idea and one
that will appeal to every grower from
practical standpoint. In selecting
fruit for exhibition a thorough know
ledge of the scientific points on which
judgment is made is quite essential if
the best is to be procured.
1t is therefore suggested and urged
that orchardists make careful choice
of their best fruits at this time and put
them away to be brought to the school.
Mr.. Seaton has taken keen interest
in this project and We trust that his
plan will meet with hearty approval and
cooperation from growers that the ex-
hibit may be creditable and afford an
opportunity to gain knowledge of Sc
lection. something that is of vast i'm
portance to all horticulturalists.

The News at Read.

Mr.. Dunham and several others are
loading two cars of potatoes this week
they sold to c. Harry to be shipped to
Oklahoma.
Jas |. Doyle has gone up near Hotch-
kiss to help the Spickelmlre Bros. build
some houses.
Beet digging commences this week
and also apple picking.
Our school is progressing nicely.
Mrs. Crawford is giving good satisfac-
ton.
The Stewart Bros. of Pueblo, cousins
to Mrs. As,baugh. have returned to
their home from deer hunt. J. b.
Doyle acted as guide and they got one
deer.
Fred Shores Jr., of Read, and Miss
BERTHE Henderson, of Austin, were

Serious Situation ConfrOnts Delta
County and Western
Slope Growers.
THERE IS LITTLEHOPE OF RELIlF.
Less Than Twenty Car Loads Have Been Re-
eeived 10 Delta Couaty when
100 Are Needtd.

There is a fruit box famine abroad in
the land and the fruit grower finds HIM
self up against a mighty unpleasant as
well as a serious proposition. Boxes
are not to be had for love or money.
Manager Conklin, of the Delta Fruit
Growers association, when approached
as to the cause said it was due to IN
ability of the railroads in California to
transport the product of the saw mills
to the manufacturing plants. And
again the railroads have utterly failed
to provide cars and transport what
boxes have been manufactured. Mr..
Conklin was unable to say anything that
would encourage the growers to look
for relief. The Association has. only
received eight cars thus tar and other
portions of the county about the same
number A few more cars may get in,
but Mr.. Conklin says he does not know
that any more can be obtained.
A representative of the Association
made trip to California early in the
year and contracts were entered into
whereby it was expected to provide
against such a contingency as has
arisen. Secretary Jefrers went to
California a few weeks ago and made
strenuous efforts TO start the ball rolling
and while he did succeed in jaring few
cars loose the supply will fall alarm
ingly short.
Delta county has need of 100 car loads
of boxes at this time and Mesa county
is facing the same situation. The old
saying necessity is the mother OF in
vention" still holds good and we hope
the fruit growers will praside- some
means Of caring for the crop and
getting it to market in good order.

Killed Six Deer.

DR.. c. H. Burgin and his party re-
turned from their hunting trip near
Rifle the first of the week, loaded with
five splendid trophies of the wilds'
There were six in the party including
the guide. Otto Coulter. of Rifle, and

two days drive from Rifle and as the
above would indicate found game plen-
tiful. They were in the hunting field
but two days and each day were able to
see several bands of from fifteen to
twenty deer. The doctor says there were
no less than 100 hunters in that country
when they were there. The party con-
sisted of DR.. G. II. and |. r. Burgn,
w. p. and A. II. Buck, f. F. Graham
and the guide. Otto Coulter.

The Dennis0n Case.

B. S. Dennison, when taken before

animation and was bound over under
bonds of $500 which he furnished.
Colvin. accused of being Dennison S

New papers were made out against
Colvin and this case was set for the
irst of the week. We take the follow

thing he possessed. even to his mining
stock in the Boston Colorado Copper

Twenty Pound Beet.

The 20lb. sugar beet on exhibition in
the INDEPENDENT show window, was
raised by Henry Isensec of North Del
ia. He has but few acres of beets
planted this year, having had preju-
dice against the crop heretofore. but he
says he will increase the acreage next
year. for he is fully convinced that the
sugar beet is the quickest and most re-
liable money producer we can grow.
His experience is no different from
many others. Delta county will soon
be raising several thousane acres of
beets.

Strawberries In October.

Delta people may be used to it but

Strawberries this time of the year as
something unusual. While passing the
