The Delta independent. [volume] (Delta, Colo.) 1886-19??, 1907-09-27

The INDEPENDENT is Republi-
can in politics, but it does not
believe in hewing to party lines
without regard to public inter-
ests. That is mere partisanship,
and partisanship is not always
good politics. The administration
of a government, state, acoun-
ty or a city, may go wrong and
need both reprimand and correc-
ton, and this may occur in one
party as we'll as another. When
this does occur; it is the duty of
the party itself to correct any in
fringment of rectitude. 1t is
more the duty of the newspaper
to point out palpable misdoings
in it's own party than to spend
all of its time hunting for flaws
in the platform of the opposition,
and in so doing such paper ac-
complishes more to perpetuate
the strength and purity and sue
cess of its party than it could in
any other way. We are more
than proud of the record of the
Republican party as party, and
when the time comes for US to
turn up our toes to the daisies,
we want to think of the Grand
Old Party and the beautiful stars
and stripes as one and inseper-
able.

lumber operation is in progress.
Seeds may be conveniently col
lected from the felled trees,
provided it is a good seed year.
After the cones are collected
they must be spread out in the
sun and dried, or in specially
stubborn cases subjected to arti-
fetal heat in order that the cone
may be opened and the seed re-
leased. After the seed is extra
Gated it is placed in bags and
stored in cool, dry place during
the winter ready for spring SOW
ing.
The Government has nine
planting stations. These are at
Halsey, Nebraska; Fort Bayard,
Las Vegas, and Fort Stanton,
New Mexico; Pixies Peak Nation
al Forest, Colorado; the Wasatch
National Forest, Utah; Pocatello,
Idaho; and Pasadena and San
Norcos, California.
If'all would grow, a ton of al
most any kind of tree seed would
produce a forest Of very large
area. But no one expects all
the seeds to grow. When the
tree plants them in the natural
way very many perish where one
survives. John Muir has esti-
mated for certain trees, ten
thousand seeds perish for every
one that lives. The ratio of the
survivors will be much higher,
no doubt when man plants and
cares for the seeds.

All the papers of the Western

All the papers of the Western
Slope and most of those on the
East side down to Denver, gave
Delta a good notice about the
fair at home and the capturing
of so many premiums at the
State fair. This is the very best
advertising a county can have,
because the public is bound to
regard it as fact. Delta is now
before the public with recon-
mendations that no one can for a
moment question, and this will
help very materially to gain for
her the appreciation her merits
in justice demand.

1t is gratifying to observe
that the scientific wagon, while
hitched to a star, has been halted
sufficiently to take note of things
terrestrial. Within a few years
the word, the act and the in.
struction, have found their way
into the schools of the land and
science has evolved from theory
to fact. Farm lads of to-day are
not content with the meager
knowledge that seeds sprout and
grow new plants, but they can
tell why they grow and some of
them can point out the male and
female Of the different plants in
a field where sex was not dreamed
of a few years ago in plant life.
In the orchard, the field and the
garden, so many things have be-
come known through practical
scientific research, that to enum-
crate them would fill the columns
of dozens of papers the size of
this.

the coal situation as it exists in
Colorado. 1t has grown into one
of the most grasping of corpora
tions, compared with whose oper-
ations the Standard Oil alleged

there is nothing in the present

remedied to correct this evil.

The Montrose Enterprise last
week had, in connection with
some of it's observant readers, a
word of advice to its own city to
copy after Delta in improving
and undermining it's streets and
walks. 1t makes Delta feel
pretty good to be recognized as
a model, but she deserves it.
And the good work is going on
every day without the loss of an
hour. The buxom lass is stand
ing before the mirror all the
time, primping, and she's catch
ing nearly every fellow with
money who visits the Western
Slope. And Delta is a good girl,
too, as well as pretty. All that
the people seem to want is to be
at her feet.

While Delta is in no danger of
a coal famine having her own
supplies many other parts of
the state are at the mercy of the
coal companies, both the COM
panies and the mines apparently
being in combine with the rail-
roads. In this way an agency is
established in town and the
railroad company will not furnish
cars in which to ship coal to any,
one else. This one agents stock
Of coal usually gives out at the
critical season when that of small
