NOT A SINGLE
ONE ROTTEN.
Two Cars Of "vaIIey" Apples keel
as Well as Mesa Grown Fruit.

The following letter has been received
by Jay Gillett in regard to the storage
of two cars of apples packed and grown
on his ranch in the Gunnison Valley.
The facts enumerated are conclusive
that apples grown in the bottoms are
just as good keepers as those grown on
the mesa, contrary to the general im-
preston prevailing among local people.
1t will be remembered by Delta County
people that the apples to which this let
ter refers are some of the crop that
brought the owners of this ranch nine
thousand dollars with an acreage of but
twenty-five acres. Mr.. Gillett, as well
as all other valley people should feel
gratified to learn that their fruit has
just as good keeping qualities as that
grown a little higher and that the old
idea that valley apples are worth lit
tie less than others has been disproved.
A copy of the letter follows, printed
verbatim as it was received here.
Notice that the gentleman who wrote
it does not hesitate in assuring growers
here that he will be ION deck" this fall
and will be ready to buy and will also
be here regardless Of the crop any
where else" This certainly is feath-
er in Delta County's cap and although
only proves what has again and again
been reiterated-that the fruit in this
county has no equal-yet is n step in the
direction that will demand eastern buy
ers to handle and deai in fruit from this
county.
FORT WORTH, TEXAS, Apr. 8. 1906.
Mr.. J. GILLETTE,
Reed. Colo.
Friend Jay:
Received your letter several days
ago and was glad to hear from you.
You should feel complimented in getting
that order for the 2S boxes apples. He
had seen some Of the stock with your
name on the box, and they looked good
to him. Sold the last Of your apples
last week, and the last box was as
sound as the day you packed them. l
purposely put two cars of your stock
away for the last, as an apple man" in
Delta told me that the apples raised in
the valley would not keep as well as
those grown on the mesa. Don't know
how long yours would have kept but do
know on the LIST of April there was
scarcely 4 bad apple in the one thousand
boxes, and never during the season had
box of them returned. For all this l
thank you. In fact all my Fancy from
your part of Colorado was as good as
could ask for.
l expect to be with you by August
regardless of the crop anywhere else,
and hope to buy more apples this year
than last. With kindest regards to you
ALL
Your Friend.

What Was "Thelma?"

In previous issues of the Independent
mention was made of .'Thelma" and
everyone was told to look out for her at
the opera house. Thelma is new per-
fume that the Delta Drug Company is

learned what was intended will please
take notice herewith. And by the way.
this new perfume = Thelma-is just
about right, so the ladies' say.

Cleaned From Our Exchanges
and other Sources,

Java will have a street fair and har-
vest festival this fall. So it was decided
at a meeting held by the citizens of our
town last Monday evening. A number
OF farmers attended this meeting and
they all were enthusiastic over the pros
pect of having another good time in
Java this fall. What Java can and will
do in the way of entertaining her
friends and customers, was clearly de.
monstrated at our last Fourth of July
celebration, and the farmers for miles
around are more anxious now than ever
before, to come here and enjoy them
selves with US. Fred. Krause presided
over this meeting, and Fred. Perman
acted as secretary. A number of com
mitties were appointed, the names of
which will be publised after all auxil.
airy COMMITTEES have been named. The
date decided upon is Friday and Satur-
day, September 2Sth and Goth. Races
will be had and all other games and
sports, our people love. At the street
fair all of our products will be exhibited
and premiums paid for the best.
Wagons and floats will be fixed up by
farmers, showing data and incidents of
olden times. There will be music and
singing all the while, and talks by set
tiers old and new. Already a number
Of farmers are planning as to what to
exhibit and show. B. p. Adams, for in
stance, has novel idea. He and family

ROAD WILL BUILD TO
BUTTE COUNTY


The plan to construct new line from
the Sioux River across the state to the
state line in Campbell county, mention
of which mention has been made In the
News, has developed into larger under
taking than at first supposed, and il is
now learned, on what is now reported as
the most reliable authority, but that
the line will extend into Butte county,
the new country that is now attracting
so many homeseekers, and open rich
territory which is likely to be available
for settlement next year.
The Dakota Midland railroad which
Is now surveying the proposed line. is
reaching for this territory, and, accord
ing to the authority mentioned, it will
connect with the M. and St. L. railroad
near Mound City in Campbell county.
This would indicate that the latter road
will extend west from Leola and make
Aberdeen the gateway from all points
north and northeast to the rich country
now attracting so much attention.
According to the survey the new line
is to start at Richland S. D., on the
Sioux River and run in northwesterly
direction thru Union, Clay. Yankton,
Hutchinson, Dawson, Aurora, Buffalo,
Hyde, Faulk, Walworth, and Campbell
counties. The road is said to backed
by the M. and st. l.. and Illinois Central
railroads, but this is denied by Dak-
ota Midland official, who says that his
road is entirley independent Of any
other company. He did not deny how
ever. that the M. and st. L. would make
close connections and that the two roads
will practically work together so far as
the western extension is concerned.
This activity in railroad construction
is one Of great importance to Aberdeen
which again comes to the front as the
connecting link between the east and
the west. Events that will work won
derful changes in this city in the next
few years, are shaping themselves
idly.-Aberdeen News.

The Elephants Dressmaker.

Mrs. White. who, with a corps o

the clothes for all the animals in

undoubtedly as the Worth, the

cannot be without interest.

strange rickety stairs at the back oI

greeted most cheerfully with that
good -comrade-ship b at exi lists

will find yourself face to face with
one of the gentlest.looking of little
ladies', whose hair is turning white,
and when she casually tells you tha,
she has been making cloaks for all
the beasts in Barnum g. Bailey s
Circus for thirty five years, you
don't wonder at the white hair, but
silently marvel that it ism t blue OF
green or some other color.
Just imagine what it means to
make one of those elaborate coats
The one that Gypsy" the oldest
and largest OF the Barnum elephants
wears, for instance. Mrs. White
actually has to sit down while she
is telling you about it,and you sit
down, too, before she finishes.

When you think of it, there mus
be something gratifying to ones
pride to have ones clothes bought
wholesale--there is no sense O
meanness attached to that.
"And then, " continues Mrs. White
"there was gilt fringe foot deer
