A Valuable Property at Eckert
Changes Hands for Consid-
GRAFTON Of $4,000.
IOWA men MAKE PURCHASE.
One Of the Buyers Shared in Five Hundred
Acre Deal Here in July. New Owners
Take Immediate Possession.

Delta county real estate is attracting
the attention and consuming the bank
accounts of some of the shrewdest in
vestors from the good old corn state of
Iowa, and the average Iowan has a rep
utation for knowledge of values. The
Hawkeye is seldom a plunger and
where he leads others can, as rule,
follow safely. The sale by Mrs. Adah F.
Wilson, through the real estate firm of
Castle & Travis, of her lis acre ranch
at Eckert for 500, 200 to F. w. Lohr
and Peter Sweinhart of Sioux City.
Iowa, is one of the largest real estate
transactions that has taken place local
ly for some time. 1t is such as this
that makes the old timers eyes bug
out and wonder where he is at. Sixty
of the lis acres is in orchard, forty of
which is in bearing fruit. The Wilson
ranch is one of the finest in the Surface
Creek country and that the new owners
have secured bargain seems to be the
general concensus Of opinion.
F. W. Lohr. one Of the purchasers.
is Sioux City attorney. With several
others he came to Delta county in July
and after making a careful inspection
of the country bought, with his associ-
ates, $50 acres of land. Mr.. Lohr re-
turned here last week accompanied by
Mr.. Sweinhart and others and his par
ticipation in this big transaction,
coupled with his former purchases and
the fact that he is still buying, proves
conclusively that he has formed a
mighty good opinion of our country.
The new owners assumed control at
once, Mr.. Sweinhart taking command
of the crew of fruit pickers now en-
gagged in harvesting this years crop.
H. c. Gardiner, another of the Sioux
City contingent, bought 81 acres from
Dan Doughty in consideration of $3.50.

F. w. Lohr and others made still an
other purchase yesterday, securing 100
acres known as the Diehl ranch, located
five miles west of Delta for 81, 500.

Saw il is a Hummer.

Word comes from Pueblo to the ef-
feet that Delta county has one of the
finest exhibits at the state fair, that it
is well located to claim the attention of
visitors and is winning laurels for our
fruit growers and farmers. E. M.
Gets is in charge, assisted by F. G.
Myers, one of our new real estate men
and who is showing commendable enter
prise in spending his money and donat-
ing his time for the benefit of the coun-
ty he has SO recently located in. Mr..
Slatten of Hotchkiss, who had been Sc
lected by the commissioners to have
charge of the exhibit, found it impos-
sible to leave his ranch on account Of
the immense fruit harvest that is claim
ing all his time and Mr.. Gets was COM
PEELED to take personal charge on this
account. That he will be at the helm
preaching the gospel of Delta county
greatness every minute Of the time
goes without saying. An immense
quantity of fruit and other products
have been shipped to Pueblo and We
undoubtedly have an exhibit that will
attract wide attention and will result in
bringing hundreds of desirable citizens
to this part of the state. The commits
sioners never did better thing than
when they appropriated money for the
proper display OF Delta county pro-
ducts at the state fair. Mr.. Myers re-
turned last evening. He says our fruit
exhibit took first premium for Dist.
No. 6, which comprises Delta, Gunnison.
Montrose and San Miguel counties.
We also captured End. premium for
general exhibit in the state.

The Franchise in Germany.
New York Tribune.)

The movement for universal suffrage
in Hungary was quickly followed by
movement for universal suffrage in
Austria, and that in turn is being
quickly followed by movements for
more liberal and exquisite schemes of
of suffrage in the various states of the
German empire, so that the dual reform
is leavening the whole lump of the Teu-
tonic world. In Germany the impe-
rial suffrage is already of an universal
basis, but that in the individual states for
members of the state parliament, is not
always so, and it is this latter that is
now the object of reforming zeal. The
state systems vary considerable in de-
grees of badness, that in Prussian being
if we may take the word of Bismarck,
years ago--not only the worst of all,
but "the worst of all conceivable cleo
toral systems. There can be there
fore, little question of the need of re-
form, which indeed is recognized by the
governments of some of the states.
How iniquitous the Prussian sostem is
may be reckoned from the fact that not
single social democrat is elected to the
parliament Of the kingdom, although
Prussia sends many social democrats to
the Imperial parliament, and the party
is one of the most numerous in the king
dom. No wonder, then that many mem
bers of other parties, and indeed most
fairminded men, regard with favor and
hopes of success the mass meetings
which are to be held in Berlin on
Sunday next to agitate for reform.
There is some prospect that a meas
ure for reform will be before long
granted in Prussia and also in Saxony,
Baden and Bavaria, in all of which
states the movement is being promoted
not only by the social democrats, who
suffer most from the present system,
but also by other influential parties
which seek to ingratiate themselves
with the people.

Deficit Rapidly Decreasing.
philadelphia Press.)

1t now seems possible that Uncle Sam
will end the present fiscal year without
a deficit. When the books for the
first half were closed on December 81,
it was found that the Government
outlay exceeded the income by only 49,
600, 900. This was considerably less
than the amount anticipated. Indeed,
Secetary Shaw has counted upon a de-
felt at the end of the fiscal year next
June of that size. But if the receipts
go on increasing as they have been the
deficit will be entirely wiped out, and
the nation will then start out again
with clean balance sheet.
In the first of the last year the Gov
eminent ran behind $2S, 900, 900, so that
the gain in the first six months of the
current year amounted to S15, 600, 900.
Custom receipts ran ahead $751; 900,
and internal revenue $1,000, 900, while
there was decrease in other directions
due mainly to the financing of the St.
Louis Fair.
These figures prove that the National
Treasury profits by the continued and
widespread prosperity of the people.
Private business enterprises are forg-
ing ahead faster than ever, and corpo-
rations are breaking all records in the
matter of earnings. 1t is most crafty
ing that the Government itself feels in
material way the swelling pulse.
