to be. In Delta the saloons were
told what was what and they
knew the Council meant it. The
Montrose saloons are given broad
liberty to run card games and it
is said they have up-stair con-
nections with bed room furniture.
That kind of saloons do not
pay a municipality from any
standpoint, not even financially.
They are breeders of crime and
disorder and it costs more to
punish this crime and disorder
than the revenue from license
amounts to. Last week Mont
rose had saloon murder. Two
drunken Mexicans were playing
cards and one shot the other
over a matter of ten cents. 1t
will cost Montrose county more
to prosecute the murderer and
send him to the gallows or to the
penitentiary than the license the
saloon he was killed in will
amount to in a year. 1t is moth
ing unusual for some one to get
shot up in a saloon fight at Mont
rose.
We are glad Delta is just where
she is at in the matter of drink
shops and drinkers.
The Delta independent., 1907-12-06

Congress is in session with
Uncle Joe Cannon as master of
ceremonies in the House. 'Tis
said the statesmen are somewhat
at sea about what to do with re-
gard to financial legislation, but
it is safe to say this question will
be the principal business of the
present congress. Arizona and
New Mexico are pounding away
at the door of statehood but it is
not likely that serious attention
will be paid to them until after
the presidential election. If con-
gress will do something to make
these fool panics impossible dur
ing times of widespread pros
perity, when there is apparently
no valid reason for such a condi-
ton, the people will ask little
else from the present session.
The Delta independent., 1907-12-06
publicity. The outside world
knows very little about us.
No Promises to King.

The Denver News had story
several days ago to the effect
that, Judge A. R. King of this
city, had been promised one of
the nominations for Judge of the
Supreme Court on the republican
ticket next fall. Judge King was
out of town when we went to
question him about this report,
but from a previous conversation
we had with him soon after he
returned from Denver last week,
we feel safe in saying no such
promise has been made. In the
first place Judge King is not a
man to exact promises and in the
second place no one is authorized
to make promises for the repub-
lican party. Of course, we all
know Bill Evans makes promises
for both parties, but we hope 10
belong to the republican party
long enough to see the Evans in
fiuence down and out.
1t is more than probable; in
fact it can be almost positively
stated that Delta county will
present the name of Judge King
to the state convention for such
nomination and from comments
of republican papers on the
Western Slope the outlook for
united support of his candidacy
seems very promising. The
Western Slope can force this
nomination if it goes down to
the convention united on one
candidate, but if the strength is
divided between several the
chances would be slim. From
comments by the Ouray Plain
dealer and Grand Junction News
it is safe to say those two coun-
ties will be for King. If Mont
rose falls in line it is more than
likely that all others will do the
same.

Things To Do.

lllllSo ~ NO.
We would suggest to the Busi-
ness Mems Assn. that some local
action in the way of appealing to
the Denver & Rio Grande Ry. to
make preparations to care for
the proper and prompt transpor-
tation of this valleys perishable
products during 1908, would be a
wise move. 1t might not result
in the railroad doing anything at
once, but at some future time
when a grievance is carried up
to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, the fact that we had ap-
pealed to the railroad ana warned
it of its unpreparedness to care
for our products, might prove of
great value.
You remember that last year,
1905, the D. & r. G. in this part
of the state was completely
swamped with the fruit and beet
transportation filed upon it. With
practically no fruit crop at all to
take care of this year the rail-
road has been unable to supply
sufficient cars to handle the beets.
If the statement is true that in
1908 Delta county will have 10000
acres of bearing orchard, and if
we should be fortunate enough
to get a full crop from this acre
age and the Grand Valley should
also have a full crop, how would
the railroad take care of it with
facilities that are inadequate even
this year?
Every commercial body in
Delta, Montrose and Mesa coun-
ties should be making vigorous
demand of the Denver & Rio
Grande to be prepared to protect
the farmer and fruit grower from
severe loss next year by being
ready to quickly place products
of the farm and orchard on the
market.
A local stockman recently ship
