CONCERNING
ASSESSED VALUATION.
Land Values to be Based In Rates
with Corporate Interests in
County.

Some little disatisfaction seems to be
prevalent at Cedaredge concerning val
uations Of land in that vicinity compared
to Eckert. Mr.. Cockreham, county as
SCISSOR, says that his deputies have no
authority to place valuations upon the
schedule other than personal properties
and he further stated to an Independent
reporter that the only difference in val
uation between the two places above
mentioned, was in the town of Cedar
edge itself where town lots are being
held and some even sold at figure near
$500. Such being fact it is not hard
ship to place valuations at . larger sum
than At Eckcrt. In regard to agricul-
tural land no valuations are placed until
the State Board Of Equalization place
valuation upon the corporate interests
in the county and in this regard the A.
season Is pursuing an equitable policy.
Land valuations will b based In the
same ratio - corporate interests are.

DELTA after COLLEGE.
Enthusiastic Meeting Of Business
Men Resulted In Determined
Effort. Committee Appointed.

Att meeting of the business men Of
Delta Tuesday afternoon it was resolv-
ed to make determined effort to secure
the new Presbyterian College to be
erected on the Western Slope. A very
representative gathering was held and
|one of the most enthusiastic meetings
noticeable in the city for some tine re-
suited. The Committee of Eleven
which have the decision or preliminary
plan for location are to meet in Colora-
20 Springs on Friday the fourth of this
month and it is to be present at this meet
that committee consisting of DR.. A.
II. Stockham, DR.. L. A. Hick, Judge
"A. R. King, Judge F. N. Dickerson and
Avon Remington was appointed. 1t is
understood that bonuses and offers Of
endowments are not what the new COL
lege is after but an eternal fitness of
location.
Delta has the only pure mountain
water Of any Of the agricultural towns
Of the Slope and Is % situate gsograph-
ically that It l. nearly In the center Of
population. It also has IN advantage
OF peculiarly agreeable and equitable
climate and is IN agricultural and fruit
center. All these requisites are nee
essary according to the committee.
A determined effort will be made to
interest the Committee of Eleven to
visit this place before adjournment.
The final action on the matter will be
taken by the Synod.
The school would be inauguarated
with about seven or eight chairs and
expand as rapidly As patronage demand
ed.
A location Of IN institution of this
kind would mean the addition, event
EsslN. Of hundreds of families to Delta.
Many college towns in the east are
supported alone by the patrons of the
college. To certain extent this would
prove true of college location in the
west Delta provides cheaper and
healthier living than most towns SIM
ilariy located and her mesa to the east
would be an ideal spot for an institution
Of this kind. Some talk of offering the
Committee the old Monastery gounds,
now owned by the school board. has
been advanced. Although Delta is not
in aposition to do much in the way of en-.
dowments, it would be we'll to show the
Presbytery that the right spirit is here
and that If Delta is considered and de-
cided upon that she will not be lacking
in appreciation
