The Delta independent. [volume] (Delta, Colo.) 1886-19??, 1907-09-13

The Kempton company have a good
cast and the opera house has been
packed every night.
The D. & r. G. train from the East
yesterday was on time. This fact is
considered particularly worthy of men,
ton.
Harry Mccarthy, former resident
of Delta, was in the city this week at
tending the Fair and shaking hands
with numerous old friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred C. Butt came in
from Salt Lake City last Saturday and
left that afternoon for their ranch near
Cedaredge to remain several weeks.
The Ladies of the Presbyterian church
will give an Aid at the home of Mrs.
Penley on Meeker street. Thursday
afternoon September 10. All are cor
daily invited.
The week has been busy one for
the print shops, in and out of the Offices,
and Delta papers may show the effect
adversely, but in the weeks following a
more satisfactory effort can be made.
Editor c. II. Brewer, of the Surface
Creek Champion, attended fair We'd
nesday. The Champion is one of Delta
county's bright papers and the INDE-
PENDENT acknowledges a pleasant visit
with Mr.. Brewer.
One of the best signs of the times is
the constant stream of people that are
coming TO Delta. Hotels are taxed to
accommodate them and livery stables
are kept busy supplying teams wanted
for city and country sightseeing.
There are a number of young men
and young women who wish places to
live and earn their board while attend
ing High school. Any wishing to sup
ply them places will please leave their
names with Superintendent Condit.
Prof. Condit states that fully two
hundred pupils would be attending the
High school if there was sufficient
room. This suggests the advisability
of the board looking to improvements
on the building at as early day as
possible.
/ Under change of management and
with an entirely new man welding the
pencil, the INDEPENDENT is sure to
make some mistakes as well as omis-
sions. Don't take it as an intention
but look upon it as something which
can, until the new editor becomes bet
ter acquainted, hardly be avoided.

Delta will doubtless land beet sugar
factory of her own at no far distant
period. Her territory is amply capable
of supplying one. The present difficulty
seems to lie in the fact that factory
was unwisely built at Grand Junction,
where not enough beets are raised to
supply it. and Delta's territory has
been depended on to furnish beets for
that factory, fifty miles away. Time.
perhaps year or two at most, will
remedy this and Delta will have her
own sugar factory.
Manager Willoughby of the Denver
Type Foundry company is quite jol-
lier. In letter just at hand he writes:
~ note that you have taken the Delta
INDEPENDENT along with the Park
County Bulletin and North Park Union,
and you are certainly going some If
you keep on you will soon have string
of papers as long as our friend Willie
Hurst, of New York. | will wager,
though, that you are able to take care
of them, and that the INDEPENDENT,
under your management, will be even
brighter and better than heretofore" "
The Delta Independent has been sold
to A. M. Anderson of Alma, Colo. and
passed into the new owners hands this
week. Mr.. Dufiield, who has been con.
Quoting the publication for the past
year has built up paper that is recog-
nized as one of the best in this part of
the state. At the time he took charge
