actual achievements in the elevation of
mankind made by this party during
this fifty years exceeds that of any po-

world. 1t has met the greatest eco
nomic and political problems of the age
and solved them. 1t is cheerful, hope
full, courageous and constructive. 1t is
the very embodiment of true American
ism. In fact it is the leading vanguard
of civilized government. That is the
party we belong to and We are going
to stand by it through sunshine and
shadow, through victory and defeat.
we are going to dc our share to keep it

Helen Gould, sired by Reward S..
owned by William Silsby of this city,
made q great start in Denver this week
and won light harness race with time
of 2.l4H, fastest heat. Helen Gould
was raised in Delta. E. B. Anderson, a
ranchman living up the river, formerly
owning her. Reward S., the horse
owned here by Mr.. Silsby is the sire
and now has another fast record cha liked
up for one of his colts. J. NJ. Herbert,
a Denver railroad man, is now the owner
Of Helen Gould and it was he who
entered her INTO the race that she
won this week. He has also entered
his animal in many eastern events and
taking into consideration the fact that
such a wonderful showing has been
made at the start off, Helen Gould may
surprise her owner many times again
before the season is over.
Delta people are fortunate in the fact
that horse like Reward S is owned in
their midst. Mr.. Silsby can also con-
gratulate himself again on the record
just made. All Delta horsemen are
sounding praises for the local stallion
and it is no more than right than it
should be thus.

MODERN WOODMEN
HAVE BANQUET.
Commemorate the Advent Of Many
New Members and Plan for
More in Near Future.

Special Organizer, Ralph E. johnson
Of the Modern Woodmen of the World,
delivered an address last week to an
audience of more than usual numbers
in l. .. o. F. Hall. His talk was along
lines of fraternal insurance and society
and his hearers were instructed in no
uncertain manner concerning the bene-
fits and the good that the Modern Wood
men as well as other like organizations
are doing for the public.
Mr.. johnson is very pleasant gentle
man and was vel! liked by his audience.
He has been in the work he is now en-
gagged with for some years and is fully
conversant with all matters of interest
to members and prospects. The Mod
ern Woodmen of the World is one of
the oldest fraternal societies and have
enrolled now nearly a million members.
Delta camp, under the direction and
work Of Organizer Dennison, is surely
coming to the front and in short time
will be one of the strongest orders in
the city.

ARSENATE OF LEAD
POlSONS HORSE.
Caused by Feeding Alfalfa Grown
Under Sprayed Trees. Ranch
men Should be Careful.

A horse belonging to a Mr.. Sullivan
living on ranch near the state bridge,
came near dying the past week Of ar
senate Of lead poisoning brought on
by feeding forage which was saturat ed
with spray used for spraying fruit trees,
The animal was in best of health up
to the time he was fed alfalfa grown
under the fruit trees. Suddenly he
began to drop off in weight and soon had
spasms and staggers. His internal
organs refused to act in the right
manner and he would run into wire
fences or other obstacles without regard.
DR.. Douthitt. the local veterinary was
called and after giving the animal
something to relieve the spasms then
gave the antidote and at the present
time it is thought the horse will pull
out all right.
Several cases Of the kind of poison
ing have been brought to the attention
Of the Independent and in nearly all
cases the results have been fatal.
Ranchmen should not turn stock into
the orchard and by all means should be
careful in using forage grown which
may have come into contact with
poisonous spray. The arsenic begins to
eat the lining Of the stomach as soon it
reaches it and before long the tissues
are SO badly burnt that the animal dies.
Mr.. Sullivan is lucky in recovering
his horses help as most Of the cases
are aggravated ones from the start.

WILL HAUL COAL
BY ENGINE.
Try.out on Streets this Week Proves
Machine to be Well Made and
Responsive to Operator.

The Grand Mesa Fuel Company, who
own about six hundred acres of coal
land on Grand Mesa, recently ordered a
large traction engine for their use be-
tween the mine and Austin, a station
up the valley. 1. D. johnson, local
manager for the company, made try
out of the machine this week and found
it perfectly satisfactory as far as run
ming ability goes.
The machine was built by the Avery
people of Peoria, ILL.,, and is guaranteed
to haul thirty-five tons up a sixteen per
cent grade with one hundred pound
steam pressure. The speed attained
while on level road is about four miles
per hour and the company will proceed
Immediately to supply coal to nearby
towns, hauling the same from their
mine by this means. The property is
located twelve miles north of Austin
and it is the intention of the owners to
make one trip every day. The quality
of the product is superlative and good
market will be opened up the moment
that coal can be delivered.
The Avery Company build type Of
engine that is peculiar in itself, all of
the machinery setting below the boiler
and is manifestly get-at-able by the en-
gineer. The steering apparatus is ar
ranged by means of large screw
instead of chains and insures quick re-
sponse making turns. Twenty heavy
wagons have been ordered to carry the
coal. They are expected here at any
time.
