two hundred acres of fruit this spring.
Mr.. Hall is one of the kind that cunts,
for he has friends by the score who
will come at his bidding. Surely Sur
face Creek is coming fast.
William Dean. with the Hanover Fire
Insurance company and Bismark O. Sci
bach with the California Insurance
company, were both in Delta county
this week. On Wednesday they were
driven to the Surface Creek country
and viewed property that is obtainable
up there with an idea of purchasing.
They were most fa7orably impressed
and may buy little later.
1. H. Luke and E. S. Exter, superin-
tendent and assistant superintendent
respectively of this division Of the D. &
r. G., were in Delta this week. Both
gentlemen visited their ranches while
in the county, ordering their special car
out at Paine for the day. Mr.. Luke
recently purchased the Vaughn ranch
and his subordinate had invested near
him previously. Both are enthusiastic
boosters for Delta county.
F. M. Wilson, the genial representa-
tive of the Missouri Pacific railway. was
in Delta last week in the interests of
his company. He reports business very
good on the Buzz Saw Line and says
that indications are for a strong run
this season. His company are prepar-
ing to handle an immense output of
fruit, ETC., this year and are to be in a
position to give growers the very best
and quickest service. Fruit men will
be glad to hear this.
The lecture given last evening by
Prof. DeMotte was up to the standard
expected and none who were there will
tell YOU different. If the people of
Delta or any other city for that matter,
could listen to an equally refining and
uplifting discourse once every month,
there would be an appreciable change
in the moral tone of the listeners.
Prof. DeMotte has done more good in
his life than can be imagined. He is
minister. doctor, scientist and reformer
all in one.
/. H. Haines, one of the proprietor s
of that little sheet called the Olathe
Criterion, and which undoubtedly stands
alone as the only paper in Colorado that
has practically the universal support of
its community. and Deputy Sheriff Ed.
DeGuelle, were both visitors in Delta
yesterday. Both called at the Inde-
pendent Office and a few moments Of
very pleasant conversation ensusd.
Mr.. Haines has gained 4 title to the
ranks Of those who are satisfied witk
nothing but the best in the newspaper
line while Mr.. DeGuelle impresses one
as being just the kind of fellow who
might some day step into the official
shoes of his present superior.
A tale from the North Fork country
is to the effect that the supposed bones
of Enoch Holloway. an old time noun
taineer and explorer of Colorado wilds,
have been found on a ranch not far
from Hotchkiss. Holloway was, ac-
cording to the story, the husband of a
half breed Indian wife and when it was
found that the Utes would eventually
capture and kill both of them, sent his
wife on during the night. Reaching
Sagauche she told her story but Halo
ways remains could never be found.
1t is not known whether notebook
containing his name and address was
picked up with the skeleton, but such
must have been the case apparently,
judging from the detail into which the
narrator has gone.
