was passed upon and work ordered COM
1t was the following Monday
before anything could be done and the
motion to allow the whole council to
see the plan LOST JUST ABOUT TEN
DAYS OF GOOD WEATHER.
The consequence is well known. Snow
and ice came before the work was done,
the bed of the lake froze. the water
stopped running into it from the springs
on that account and Delta has had mud
dy water for the greater time since.
Voters of Delta, this is fact. The
clerks records show this to be true.
There is no getting around it, back Of
it or disputing it. It is told you to show
that the tales of 'procrastination. OF
negligence, of inability, that have been
circulated about Mayor Gale, are lies.
Simply articles to make you believe
that Mr.. Gale did not do and could not
do what he ought to have done concern
ing your water supply. Do you believe
in that kind Of vote-getting? Do you
want to cast your vote to . party that
has stopped to throw . wrong light

Mr.. Curtis positively stated to tie
Independent that if there had been just
ten more days of warm weather the
plan would have been completed and
water in sufficient quantity would have
been at the disposal of the system the
entire winter. Now who knows any
better than Mr.. Curtis? Do you or do
l? 1t is pretty good chance that Mr..
Curtis knows what he is talking about.

something ought to be done. Hogrefe
4 Son are still doing business in Cedar
edge and inasmuch as the nearest bank
is twenty-five miles away and the "Son"
takes the warrants for accounts and
goods, something must transpire.
Isn't it laughable. Isn't it remarka-
BILE that q man who is running news
paper would allow his name to be placed
over its editorial column as responsible
for the publication Of such an illogical
and incongruous statement?
But the point Of all points! 1t is to
come. It is to tell the people Of Delta
County how Luther w. Rood came to
take hold of the Delta Independent and
what story of 'chicanery and dealings
in the rights Of the people" is. Won't
it be wonderful. Wont it just stir the
very belief of the people in the justice
Of man. Wont it be . startler for
four-column head and wont it give the
Independent advertising that it could
not hope to get any other way.
The substance of the claim will be
that the county printing for the year
1906 was promised to the present owner
Of the Independent il he would agree to
make arrangements to purchase said
paper. Now just how much Of an agree
ment was reached and just how possible
such an agreement could be perfected
can readily be seen by = squint at the
bids" which each paper put in to the
county clerk. The Independent bid
showed figure that equaled the bid
placed by the other Delta paper but was
Is per cent higher than the bid placed
by the Paonia Booster. Working on the
same theory that the commissioners
have done for the past two or three
years, It was deemed advisable to hold
the printing at TIE county seat unless It
should happen that . bid from any other
distxiee wss - pgsssstjsfs slsw ~
ths sxtsa sxpsnss nd tsssb,s Involved
would be Offset. The difference Of Is per
cent was not considered great enough
accordingly. Court house officials, DEM
ocrats and republicans alike, are all un-
der this impression. They want . paper
situate in the same town to have the
work inasmuch rs publications. proofs,
ect. can be more easily and carefully
looked after. And this is the true tale
Of how the Delta Independent got the
county printing and also ''how the
rights Of the people" were disregarded.
Then why, in all reason. should not the
Independent have been awarded the
contract. We happen to know that the
affair which makes the Times people
fancy was q "fixed deal'' is 4 conversa-
ton this editor had with E. N. Gets.
chairman of the Board Of County Com
missioners. It was to the effect that
the articles which had appeared at di-
vers times in the North Fork Times
while edited by the present editor Of the
Independent, were not to be considered
~ q criterion toward future reasonings
in the Independent. And such an un-
'derstanding was made and given be-
cause the editor was fully aware that

Beloved Comrades:

Beloved Comrades:
We b We assembled here, this
beautiful Sabbath evening in the
ssilent city Of the dead to pay an
humble, thougd beftting tribute
TO the memory Of our dear de-
uarted co nrades. More than forty
years ago, they rushed to the res
cne Of this fair Southland and bear
ed breast the strom Of battle, sto q
as q living wall between their
hom . and .firesides and the inVa-
ding enemy, uotll they fell in the
battle lire, or until the Stars ano
Bars wentdown to rise no more.
Forty five years ago, this fair
land, bnth North and Seu HI was
id q blaze of excitement; ]; each raj
living in defence of what they
thought was right. The South, to
face long years of toll, suffering,
destitution. death and final defeat
The measured tread If the in
fanrry, the heroic dash OF the
cavalry and the boom OF the can
non was heard on our hill tors
and in our valleys. AZ last our
flag went do Wn in def at, but not
in dishon0r.
.tAlas, how things have changed now,
We fightsno, more with Lee.
That grand old Chiefispromoted now.
His rank is pure and high,
He has gone to join his old brlgades.
Encamped beyond the sky.
On f4me's eternal camping ground,
Their silent tents are spread;
And glory guards with solemn round
The slumbers of our dead.
The neighing troup, the flashing blade
The bugles' thrilling blast,
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
And the Rebel yell are past.

John Deacon, superintendent of the
Adams Bros. & Payne brick yard, and
who lives on Walnut street, says: ~
was a sufferer from backache and pains
through the loins and over the kidneys
for period of years. The pain was SC
bad at times that l could not stoop, and
mornings / had to roll out of bad. The
kidney secretions were irregular and
at times very scsnt. / tried several
remedies but they gave me little or no
relief. Finally tried several remdles
but they gave me little or no relief. Fl
nally I procured Doan's Kidney Pills
at the Patton Drug Co.'S store and
found they were Just what I required.
They drove away the backache and put
my kidneys in their normal condition.
