was Obliged TO announce that cables di-

here owing to the Office In Frisco not
responding. The operators on the
Coast had been driven from their posts
by the flames and were endedvOring to
make connections ON the beach.
FATE OF STEAMSHIPS.

Can be Done by Many.
From the Champion.

An example of what can be accom-
plished on a very small acreage Of land
is to be found on the IL acre home Of
E. E. Landreth at Cory. Mr.. Landreth
has store and the postofflce and spends
all his spare time on his small place.
Every foot of land is under cultivation
and quite variety of products are
grown. Two years ago Mr.. Landreth
set out number of peach trees which
have made phenomenal growth under
proper care and will next year yield a
good crop of fruit Between the rows
of trees he is now raising tomatoes,
canteloupes, watermelons, berries and
other garden products that bring them
in neat income each season.
Mr.. Landreth is making big money
raising Belgian hares for market. For
these animals he receives price of s.
to So. so per dozen the year around and
as they propagate rapidly his yearly
income is not small. For these rabbits
he has well arranged pens SO that the
care is not excessive. He now has
about 25O hares in these pens. From
this II acre of land Mr.. Landreth can
make good living for his large family
and he does not get to apply more than
a part of his time on the land as his
other duties call for great deal of
his time. A small amount of land and
little good management will reap
wonders in this Surface Creek valley.

There is Room For Both.

The new editor wishes to express his
appreciation of the following cordial
mention taken from last weeks Laborer:
The DELTA INDEPENDENT has changed
hands again. Mr.. Findley Duffield, of
Iowa, being the new proprietor, the
transfer having taken place on Friday
Of last week. Mr.. Rood has given to
the people of Delta a good clean local
paper since he took hold of it the first
of the year, and his successor being a
newspaper man of considerable expert
ence and up-to-date ideas, will no doubt
keep the paper up to its present high
standard. Mr.. and Mrs. Duffield are
now among US, coming we'll recon-
mended and we take pleasure in ex-
tending that courtesy due an honest
and honorable competitor, trusting that
our relations with the new owner will
be as pleasant as they have been with
his predecessor. There is no reason
why there should not be two good local
papers kept alive in Delta and the La
borer proposes to be one of the two.
Brother Duffield. we welcome you.

Withdraws Coal Land.

Over 1900, 900 acres of government
land in Colorado have been withdrawn
from entry by order of the secretary of
the interior who has instructed the
geological survey to make careful
examination of the lands for traces of
coal. Wherever it is found in large
quantities it will be withdrawn from
entry and sold according to the proyi-
sions of the public land act.
This order is the result of the belief
that has been growing in official circles
for some time that the coal fields of
Colorado are much greater in extent
than hitherto has been supposed. As
indicated by the Withdrawals, the gov
ernment suspects the location of coal
beds in several Colorado districts that
have been supposed to hold extensive
deposits. Seventeen townships in the
Glenwood district are among those
withdrawn, which would indicate a
much larger deposit of coal in this
vicinity than has been believed to
exist.
The entire list of townships with
drawn by this order includes: Denver,
II; Lcadville, l; Glenwood Springs, q;
Montrose. 2; Gunnison, 8; Durango. q
and Pueblo 80 townships.
These Withdrawals mean the tenn
porary suspension of filing on 1873
$50 acres in the state of Colorado alone.
During the last year the discoveries
of new coal fields in Colorado and
Wyoming have been more frequent
than is generally known. The govern
ment, which always keeps weather
eye out for such things, has decided to
make comprehensive survey of the
lands that might be expected to con-
tain coal they will be drawn from entry
and sold.-Glenwood Post.

Cost Of a Mistake.

A.Greeley, Colorado, a merchant who
didn t believe much in advertising, sent
a small ad over to the Tribune quoting
good ranch eggs at is cents the dozen.
By mistake the printer set the ad up
"l3 cents the dozen"
Before ten o'clock the next morning
the grocery man had sold two hundred
dozen eGgs-all he had-and by agree
ment the Tribune paid the difference Of
five cents the dozen.
1t cost the Tribune man clean. new
ten dollar bill, but it proved to the
groycerman that people do read small
display ads and he carries regular
space now.

Eastern Opinion Of Irrigation

We frequently hear tourists who
visit our fruit sections remark ratht r
deprecatingly on the fact that Colorado
orchardists have to irrigate. They
speak this in such tone that it is easy
to see that they regard irrigation as a
misfortune. Never was anything fur
ther from the truth. To irrigate is one
Of the greatest blessings we enjoy and
we do not look upon it as a misfortune.
If it would rain just enough at the
right time and no more then rainfall
would perhaps be preferable to irriga-
tion. But anybody who ever lived in a
country dependent upon rainfall for
moisture necessary to grow crops knows
that at times it rains too much and at
other times too little. In this country
it is very rare thing to have too much
moisture from rainfall. A failure is
unknown from lack of moisture if the
water supply is good as it is this year.
The irrigator with an adequate supply
Of water is absolutely removed from
any apprehension Of failure through
lack of moisture and is never bothered
with bad weather during harvest time.
Surely it is great blessing to have
control of the water necessary to the
maturity of our crops in our own hands
and irrigation is after all merely child S
play when once understood. Field &

Fair Dates Set.

At the meeting of the Women of
Woodcraft last Tuesday evening the
date for the Harvest Home or fair,
which is to take place at Cedaredge
was definitely decided upon. The date
named by the lodge is the 18th Of
September. Everyone should now take
hold and make this one of the greatest
gatherings ever held on the creek.
Prepare to have a fine exhibit here on
that day in order to show outsiders and
even local residents what we can grow.

As though he thought he'd bite,
And he amt never shot gun
Or had homemade kite;
He never MIXED COW, and he
Can't even dive or swim;
Id hate to think that he was me;
I'm glad that amt him.
He thinks it's lots of fun to pump
And see the water squirt,
But won't climb in the barn and jump
For fear of gettin' hurt.
His clos are offul nice and fine;
His hairs all over curls;
His hands ain't half as big as mine:
He ought to play with girls.
A little while ago when We

He suddenly got mad at me
Because bumped his head.

And he's afraid of gandcrs, too,
But he can fight all right.

DEBATE IS SPIRITED,
AO ALT|0RA
Reciprocity With Canada Was
the Question, and Winners
Upheld Negative.
SOME SPLENDID WORK
Both Sides Made q Good Fight
Every Phase of Matter
Was Taken Up.
SOME SPLENDID WORK

The annual debate between the A,
D. T. and the Ad Altiora literary So
cieties of the state university was held
in the first Baptist church Monday
night and was one of the most enthus-
iastic and most spirited ever held there.
1t was interesting from start to finish,
and the announcement of the decision
of the judges for the Ad Altiora was
answered by deafening cheer from
the members of that society. There
were times during the evening when
the house fairly trembled with the ap-
pause given to the wit and argument
displayed by some of the speakers.
The question for debate was Resolved,
that reciprocity with Canada should
be to the best interest of the United
States"
Dan Brennan opened the argument
for the affirmative, and the A. D. T.
and carefully explained the situation
as he saw it. He said there was a
demand for tariff revision throughout
the United States. The Dingley tariff
In force needs important changes The
Canadian Parliament is now in session
and will fix the tariff. The issues of
the debates there will mean much to
this country. Mr.. Brennan proposed
complete reciprocity. He said it was
a natural and beneficial policy for the
United States and that it should ex-
list ~ on account of geographical
unity; (2) on account Of wage equality
which both obtain. He showed that an
arbitrary line, namely the forty-ninth
parallel, unnaturally restricted trade
between the two countries. Even our
national constitution forbids the res
friction of trade between states, and
he said that the parallel to the north
OF US ought not rightfully rastrict
trade as it now does.
