RIO GRANDE IMPROVEMENTS
Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars
Invested in Rolling Stock-New
Dining Cars and Coaches
of the Latest Pat
tern Bought.

Within the last week the Denver
and Rio Grande railroad has INSTALL
ed new equipment which costs in the
neighborhood of $250.000 says a re
port from Denver and in another
week 500 new freight cars to swell
the sum of half million will be pui
in service.
The new cars of the last week were
all for the passenger service and Will
place the system in the ranks of the
best equipped railroads in the coun-
try. Twenty new freight locomotives
have been ordered and are under
construction for the rpad. which
when received will make up 40 new
engines which the road has placed
in service since the first of the year.
With the swell of travel through
out Colorado the Denver and Rio
Grande road has been forced TO add
to its rolling stock, and even after
all required had been purchased the
constant course of improvement in
the service went on.
Last week four new dining cars,
the Manitou, Pando, Nebo and Uintah
were placed in service. Five of the
latest pattern chair cars and nine
high coaches. all from the
Dayton, Ohio railroad equipment
works of Barney and Smith. All
of the new equipment will run over
the road between Denver, Pueblo and
Canon City except the dining cars
which will be used on the main line.
The road is now the best equipped of
all the Colorado roads. it is claimed
and will not be pressed for coaches
when the tourist travel of next sum
mer begins.
Within the next week $50 new
dump cars for coal and coke will be
received with $50 dump cars for all
kinds of ore. These will all be plac-
ed in immediate service in the mining
districts of the state. The total cost
according to Passenger Agent Frank
Wadleigh will be over 100000.

Tom Patterson is now in un-
disputed control of the democra-
tic party in Colorado. This is
not only unfortunate for that
party, but for the people Of this
great state who want peace and
prosperity to continue above
everything else. If Alva Adams
should be elected governor Pat
terson would practically run the
state government during his term
and peace would be at an end.
The never ending trouble maker
would not sleep nights until there
was turmoil and strife. Patter-
son is bound to have a row. He
has been disturbing the indus
trial peace of Colorado for years.
He has had his own party in a
continual miX-up. The wonder is
that democrats 90 not only throw
off the yoke of Speerism but of
Pattersonism as we'll. The latter
is the grearer evil of the two.
Many democrats know that this
is true and they would be glad to
get rid of the noisy boss, but as
long as he lives and owns two
papers his influence over the
democratic party is likely to re-
main supreme. The greatest
curse that could possibly come to
Colorado this fall would be the
election of Adams, not on account
of Adams himself, but on account
of the man who rules him.

The Delta county delegation to

The Delta county delegation to
the democratic state convention
came home with less enthusiasm
than expected. Many of them
are not at all satisfied with
Adams as the candidate. They
know he is weak and that Patter-
son will rule him with a rod of
iron. The boys were glad to get
rid of Speer, but they do not
seem sure that matters have
been improved with Patterson in
the saddle.

On the whole the republican
state convention nominated a
good ticket. This paper has but
one objection and that is the
nomination of Gabbert for the
supreme court, not that we have
any fault to find with Judge Cab
bert for his decisions, but be-
cause he is a democrat. We do
not believe in republicans going
to the opposition for candidates
for any Office so long as the party
has an abundance of competent
material in it's own ranks. Judge
Gabbert was kicked out of the
democratic party because he
rendered decisions according to
the law instead of being ruled by
the dictates of Tom Patterson.
A judge who stands fearlessly
for the law and right, regardless
of his own political futnre, de-
serves public appreciation, but
any judge who would not take
such a stand is unfit to be a
member of the supreme court or
any other court. The republican
party was under no obligations to
Judge Gabbert for doing right
and we believe a republican
should have been nominated,

A socialist was a little back
ward about subscribing for the
INDEPENDENT, fearing that he
would be abused by Republican
paper. His fears were not we'll
founded so long as the paper re-
mains under its present manage
ment. While the INDEPENDENT
believes that socialists are a Woe
fully misguided people it has no
abuse for anyone on account of a
difference in political conviction.
You can't convert a sinner by
calling that sinner bad names
and you cannot change a mans
political belief by abuse. Our

the error Of their ways and in

enmity.

TOWN SUGGESTIONS.

Delta should have good roads
To be frank and truthful our
roads are somewhat of an eye
sore Seemingly they have never
been graded and it looks as if it
should be a very simple matter
to grade them. If Delta owns a
road grader we have not heard
of it; there is nothing about the
streets to indicate the use of one.
1t looks like a very simple mat
ter to take a grader, draw the
dirt from the sides to the middle
and very quickly and inexpen-
sively give US well graded and
smooth roads in the town. There
may be some reason why grader
cannot be used in Delta, but if
so we are ignorant of the fact.
If better streets can be had so
simply and inexpensively, why
not have them?
***
A newcomer to Delta has a
hard time learning names of the
different streets. There is moth
ing to mark them. After one is
here a few days he learns that
the principal business street is
Main and he is a dandy if he be-
comes acquainted with the names
Of other streets very readily. The
city council should see that the
names are put up at each inter-
secting corner. 1t will make us
more cityfied and strangers will
at once get a better impression
of the town. The INDEPENDENT
suggests this to the city council.
Think it over gentlemen and see
if you do not agree that it is
something worth looking after.
Delta must have more dwelling
houses. People are coming here
and going away because they can
find no desirable place to live.
The town is filling up, in fact it
is running over right now and if
our moneyed men do not get busy
at once we are sure to lose many
desirable families within the
next six months. Building ma
terial is high, but lots are cheap.
The one balances the other and
the prospects are that it will cost
more to build later on than now.
No one need be afraid to put up
a house for fear of being unable
to secure a desirable tenant. If
twenty-five moderately priced
houses were ready for occupancy
in Delta today they would not
last six weeks. That which con-
fronts US is a condition and not
a theory. The demand for houses
at this time is mild to what it
will be in a year from now.
Delta must have more dwellings
for rent and they should be pro-
vided as soon as possible. Mr..
Man with money, what do you
think? Don't the future of Delta
look good? If so, would it not be
profitable as an investment to
start the erection of a number
of cottages at once? You can
rent them at a good rate of in
terest and the raise in the value
of lots will make your invest
ment hard to beat. One thing
is certain, if local capital will not
do this there must be a move
ment put on foot to secure these
houses, for otherwise the growth
of Delta will be seriously inter-
fered with.

"The robber tariff" " or tariff
for revenue only" Let's see!
Come to think of it there was
something like that going the
rounds during the good old d, VS.
of Grover and clover. If we re-
member correctly horses, cattle,
sheep, hogs and most everything
was mighty cheap during the
revenue only" period. And
then, again, wages were not
nearly so high as they are now
and have been since the Dingley
tariff went into effect. And
work was not so plentiful as it is
now. There was a soup house
craze a little over ten years ago
if our memory serves us right.
Possibly it would be well for
people to shake up their think
tank and look back a few years.
It might save them an error at
/ the polls this fall. Lest we
forget" the fallacies Of the last
revenue only" administration,
