it. So it is necessary for each district
to have an organization and this end of
the county is to be in line.
At present the cattle growers of
Delta County have an organization but
it holds much larger membership
from the upper end of the county. The
meeting place is at Hotchkiss and it
seems impossible to get many from
down here to attend. Aside from that.
this part of the county will probably
be in another district and under another
supervisor and such being the case it
will be doubly necessary to organize
another body.
On next Monday. afternoon the whole
plan will be laid before those present,
resolutions that were passed will be
read and steps taken to form an as

Cat|emen to Organize Here.
Call is Made to Meet at Court House in Delta on
Monday Afternoon at l:30 p. m. Feb. r..

An organization embracing the cattle
men using this part of the government
range is found to be necessity in
view of recent range regulations and
adoptions by the State organization.
Accordingly call has been made for
next Monday afternoon at the Court
house. The time set is 1:3O and it is
expected THAT ALL CATTLEMEN
IN THIS DISTRICT OR THOSE IN
TERESTED WILL BE THERE.
A lengthy resolution was passed at
the recent meeting of the Colorado
Horse and Cattle Growers Association
meeting and although it is too long to
print in this issue the substance of it
is that the local organizations are to
have word in the government of the
ranges if the department will act in

Cattle Sell High.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS, Feb. s.
Prices paid here last week were high
decidedly high-on fancy cattle. The
Western Live Stock Show brought q
large number of eastern buyers to Dem
yer and also brought large number Of
fine cattle here. Show cattle were sold
at auction and brought fancy prices,
but even ON the open market values
were considerably higher than the pre-

the champion carload of fat steers $40
Other fat steers sold at auction from
$500 to 500 and feeders from $3.50 to
1856. Fat steers sold on the market
largely from $3.75 to s4.50. A load of
fancy North Park heifers sold at $500.
Others brought 1886 with most of the
pretty good cows at S. IS to $3.50.
There was 4 fine lot of feeders and
stockers offered and plenty of buyers
here to take them. Eastern cattle feed
ers have shipped heavily to market dur
ing the last few weeks and are now
looking for stuff to fill up their lots
again. They were here in force last
week and bought literally. Prices paid
were high. most of the sales being at
$4.OO and better for the good kinds.
Receipts today 100 head. Beef cattle
scarce and wanted, prices strong to
dime higher than last week. Feeders
in good demand but market weak to
dime lower on account of decline at
all eastern points.
The first Western Live Stock Show
has been an unqualified success and
stockmen have returned to their homes
determined to make it even better next
year. The Importance of the events of
the past week to Denver and the live
stock industry of the west can hardly
be overestimated and prospects for
large packing center here are very
bright.

Wa1ef Users Association Pass Res
eigeions Affecting Canal Pur.
cAases and Elect Directors.

The uacompahgre Water Users Asso-
ciatie4 ret last Tuesday at Olathe pur-
's,aAy to the published call recently
made. The most important action Of
the association, aside from election of
directors, was the adoption of a resolu-
ton which causes the purchase of any
canals which the association may need,
to be referred to direct vote of the
stockholders, thereby removing this
power from the board of directors. The
canal which has brought about the
adoption of this resolution was the
Montrose and Delta Canal, q price of
so, 900 being held sufficient by many of
the directors while others were holding
for $l20, 900. Before any canal is pur-
chased the Reclamation Service of the
United States must appraise and pass
upon the value of same and from their
report is the price to be decided. This
move will undoubtedly result in a much
more satisfactory outcome for the ma
jority of those belonging to the associ-
ton.
The following were elected directors
for the ensuing year and the number of
votes rece;yed 10 on,,osite zach name.

Ursen Il. Graham, CattIeman. llef-
chant, Miller and Respected Qt
izen Of Hotehkiss, Travels 10 tt
Great Beyond.

Ursen H. Graham, one of the pioneer
and best known business men Of the
North and Smith Fork countries, diet
at his residence in Hotchkiss on Monday
of this week at 6 P. M. He had besG
sick but few hours and twenty-fcul
hours before had been in the best d
spirits and apparently in perfect health.
In the morning on the day of his demise
he had complained of slight soreness Of
the throat and told his family that he
would not arise for a while. At nine
o'clock his wife stepped into his roem
to learn how he felt and found him ID
an almost unconscious condition from
which he did not revive. DR.. S. VIII
liams and Copeland of Hotchkiss and
DR.. J. H. Gainey of Crawford, the lat-
ter the family physician, were with him
during most CT the day but all efforts
failed to aid him and it was only With
the use of powerful stimulants that he
was kept alive. Uric poisoning is said
to be the cause Of his sudden demise.
Mr.. Graham was one of the best
known men Of the North Fork. Fue
many years he has been engaged in tn
cattle business and was at one time 4
the mercantile business at Crawford,
ten miles south Of Hotchkiss. He spent
many years in Gunnison and is very wen
known there among the older inhah1.
tants. OF late he has operated tn
Hotchkiss Flour Mill and had moved =
family to that town, purchasing Tn1Ie
residence on one Of the nearby mesas.
He leaves wife and three children,
the Oldest child being about ten years
Of age. The funeral was held at Hotch-
kiss on Wednesday morning, interrment
being made at Crawford, Colorado.
The X. of P. Order at Hotehkiss took
charge of the services, Mr.. Graham
having been a member of that order for
many years, and belonging to Grand
Mesa Lodge Of Delta. Many friends
mourn his loss and especially among the
cattlemen of the upper country who
have ridden many mile through storm
and hard weather with him and among
whom he was always well liked and con-
sidered a proverbially good fellow.

TRACK Meet.
Day Of Sport Arranged for by High
School Lads on February 22nd.

The Delta High School boys have
planned to engage in a track meet on
the 22nd of this month. The meeting
will be held at Mesa Park and bids fair
to be an interesting one. The program,
as arranged for at this time. will con-
sist of mile running races, one-quarter
mile running races and one hundred
yard dashes. There is to be 220 high
and 220 low hurdle, pole vaulting, high
Jumps, broad jumps, shot puts and ham,
mer throws and grand relay race.
The boys have formed an athletic as
yociation with officers and rules to be
governed by and deserve the support of
the people of Delta in this laudable
move. The fact that there will be no
school on the 22nd, it being Washing
tons birthday, gives an opportunity to
hold the meet on some day aside from
Saturday which is always poor day at
the best, those in town usually being
busy. There is no reason why the
younger element should not be accorded
hearty support. The hour set is 2 P. M.
and the admission will be twenty-five
cents. Tickets will soon be on sale and
it q to be hoped that all will lend hand
in making the day a success.

You asked about the ranch up the
river. Well, may say that have q
standing offer for it which is just double
what asked for it year or SO ago and
you can bet your bottom dollar that the
offer doesn't cntice the owner in the
least. When q man can make twenty
two acres of ground pay him nine thous-
and dollars in one year. would like to
know where he would put the money
he has invested in it into anything that
would ray him better. Standard Oil
stock looks like thirty cents in compar-
ison. Delta County is just about the
only place know Of where would
want to make my permanent home.
When we left told my wife that sup
posed we would be sorry to come back.
But on the other hand never was SO
tickled in my life as when we crossed in
to Colorado way out here in the desert.
Just to know that l was once again
within the confines of the good old state
was enough for me-"
Again Delta County man has found
out what . good place he is living in.
Dubious when he left but what when he
returned he would be dissatisfied, even
though he had made such enormous re-
turns from his holdings, he came back
convinced more than ever that he is in
the right place. And so it would be with
many more il they would-bue take such
trips.
Time and again have Delta County
people sold out, taken their money. fam
lily and belongings. to other parts and
finally returning. after having been
gone for some months, confident that
no place is quite as good. Surely more
substantiating proof of what Is here can
not be found.
But what impressed MIR. Gillette most
was the ignorance under which people
are laboring about western Colorado.
More than ever was he cognizant of the
fact that it is necessary to advertise
the country. Advertising is what made
California and yet right in Delta Coun-
ty, for HEALTH and for WEALTH
the state of California cannot be COM
pared. Think of it! Mountains that
hold game, natural lakes and parks. in
comparable scenery, an unequaled eli
mate both for pleasure or for health, =
all these things has Delta County got.
And what more has California? And
what has Delta County that California
has not? This-THE ABILITY TO
RAISE ANYTHING FROM A GRAIN
TO A FRUIT AND RAISE 1T BET
TER, BIGGER AND EASIER. And
why, If Delta County is known in the
degree that it should be, would not she
gain thereby in like degree?

The Man That Made Eighteen Hundred Apple Trees
Pay him 10000 Last Year is Glad to Get Back
Home After Trip to the Coast. No Spot can
Equal This.

Jay Gillette, the well known fruit
raiser Of the Gunnison Valley has just
returned from trip TO the fruit dist
riots Of California where he had taken
his family for an outing and sightsee-
ing tour. An Independent reporter saw
him this week and learned what he
thought Of California Is compared with
the western slope Of Colorado for fruit
raising and general conditions. In no
uncertain terms Mr.. Gillette pronounced
Delta County as being 70 far ahead of
California in this regard that the fact
deserves especial mention and only goes
to show what the future of this country
will be il it Is only properly laid before
the homesecker. Among other things
Mr.. Gillett said: II talked with = man
who has been manager for large rruit
growing company for years and from
what he told me learned that Delta
County fruit growers reap more profit
from one acre Of their ground than CAL
ifornia people do from three. It is also
remarkable what name the Colorado
apple has made for itself out there. l
saw ordinary number two Colorado Ben
Davis selling for rs per box and the
first grade, I was told, went at t3.75 to
A.00 when they were On the market.
: The regular California Believer. the
apple that everyone says can be raised
best in California, selling at Sl.00 per
box. noticed that Delta County grow
ers didn't have to sell any Of their Bell
flowers for that price. And when il
was learned that was q fruit man
from western Colorado was bcsicged
with men who wanted to know all about
1t and how We raised such good stuff.
Some asked il there was any LEVEL
LAND out here or whether we planted
our orchards on the MOUNTAIN TOPS.
Really it was laughable to hear their
questions and learn how little people
really do know about the way we do
things and grow our crops. And all this
simply impressed me more with the idea
that we must advertise ourselves.
Should let these people who may come
know. To think that such absurd inn
pressions were held with those who are
thinking about Colorado is evidence
enough.
During my trip and visit out there I
saw no place that seemed to have any
thing like the future before it that our
own county has. Los Angeles, as prob
ably you know, is held up by tourists,
over seventy thousand being there this
winter. OF course il panic should
come all this revenue would be cut off
In twinkling and then the districts,
like our own, where the rancher furn-
ishes the business Of the country, would
be the ones that would be less affected.
