tainment that is within the power
OF the citizens of the County Seat.
On the last day of the Re
Union, Sept. IL. will begin the
Delta County Fair. The Delta
County Fair Association has been
IN existence several years. but no
fair held tor the past two years.
Della has taken on new lite. how.
ever. within the last twelve
months. A spirit OF go ahead
has struck the town. The County
Seat has become the home OF
many new citizens within the
year and these have Joined hands
with Deltas old-guard progress
sive element in taking hold of
everything that has to do with the
advancement of the town and
county.
A matter of great importance
to every county is that of an an.
nual exhibit of products. Espe-
cially is this true OF a county like
Delta, which is inviting people
from all over the land to come
and do with its unoccupied and
untitled lands what has been done
by the men who came here years
ago-make ii worth from 500 to
$1,000 an acre. Noticing so wins

nifty as a creditable exhibition of
what it produces.
The Delta County Fair is this
year offering purses amounting
to 81, 700 and several hundred dol
, lars in premiums in addition to
this. The money has been sub
scribcd and is in the banks of
Delta to pay these purses and pie
miums and the man who makes
an exhibit will get his money if
he wins, regardless of weather or
attendance.
The large sum offered in purses
has attracted the best race horses
in this part of the state.
Every horse now training on the
Grand Junction track is entered in

road to reach that country. and
which is we'll nigh impossible as
there is not sufficient travel to
justify the county in keeping up
the road.
Mr.. Hurst is of the opinion
that the citizens OF this locality.
little realize the importance of
completing the wagon ROAD from
this point to Paonia and the great
fruit lands of that section. He
has made the proposition 20 go to
every person in his section and
secure donations to apply towards
making up the amount additional
10 that already available IN the
state fund. to finish the road
There is now on hand in the state
fund something like three thous-
and dollars. which according to
surveyor Joe Heiner who has jus,
completed the new survey of the
road, through to the county road
extending above Somerset. is half
the amount needed.
This is a very moderate sum
compared with the extent of ter
ritory and the number of people
TO be benefited by the same.
namely Delta and Gunnison coun-
ties. where the residents OF both
counties are both interested in as
much as the people OF Gunnison
county want the fruits and veg
ctables OF Delta county and the
road when completed will open
the avenues OF cheap and quick
transportation between the pro
ducing mines of this locality and
the fruit laden orchards of the
North Fork. A days drive in
either direction will represent the
time required to make the journey
as against four or FIVE around by
Gunnison. A load of fruit will
reach us on the same day that it
IS put upon the wagon. as fresh
and sound as when picked the
day before from the trees. We
can drive down for that matter
and pick it ourselves and at the
same time have a fine outing and
take our choice at less than half
the price it now costs Tor second
or third grade fruit.
1t is to be hoped that the peo-
pie of this county will be dis
posed TO aid in this enterprise
with the money needed, to put us
within one days travel to reach

third base But for msiudged ball in
the ninth which was hit into left garden

left fielder both started after and allowed

been but one hit recorded against Green.
Green played hard ball and out Of three
times at the bat made three hits and two
of the five runs. He also had three stolen
bases to his credit. Queery caught his first
game Of the season and played an excel
lent game batting out three safe ones,
one of which was for two bags. Stirlith's
two-bagger was the longest hit made in
the grounds this year and had he been
able to have footed it at a fast gait would
