Delta county's boom is just starting.
That should be taken to mean some
thing to early investors. The ground
floor is quite a ways below the roof,
and the roof isn't as high as the sky.
The Western Slope valleys can easily
be rated ahead of any other sections of
the state for real merit and real activ-
ity. This is the verdict of every visitor
who is conversant with state situations.
Mr.. J. S Van Law, merchant and
chairman of the Republican committee,
accompanied by MIR. A. l. Hadley of
the Hadly Mercantile Co., Florence,
were on business trip over this way
yesterday.
One of the things all Delta citizens
appreciate and which all visitors COM
mend, is the splendid quality of the
city's water supply. This water comes
from Grand Mesa mountain and is both
pure and soft.
Delta county will have its own sugar
factory if there is any way to get it.
If, as some claim, sugar beets are worth
to the factory $40 per ton instead of S5,
the beet growers of the county could
well afford to build and operate their
own factory on some cooperative plan.

ports stock interests in good shape and
cattle in better condition than usual.
Messrs. Duffield and Castle came
home from their deer hunt Wednesday
night, bringing in two fine bucks. The
editors We're remembered with veni son.
They report the laws limitations the
only drawback to the hunt, as they
could have killed deer for everybody
if permitted. AS it was they won fame
and covered themselves with glory in
the hunt.
Mr.. P. J. Philbin, of Spaulding,
Nebraska, arrived in Delta last Thurs
day and proceeded to business by enter
ing his name on the INDEPENDENT sub
scription list. Mr.. Philbin remarked:
Il believe shall like Delta county well
enough to locate and perhaps buy prop
erty.' He impresses one as thoroughly
capable. candid, self-reliant gentleman
who will make an exceptionally good
citizen.
Mr.. Joseph Runshe, for some time
the efficient foreman of the lNDEPEN-

will be ably filled by Mr.. w. j. Pegg.
of Spokane, who takes his place, and
under whose makeup the paper will
lose none of its artistic appearance.
