The Delta independent., 1907-11-29
The following invitation is acknowl-

edged: "Rev. and Mrs. j. H.
Graybill request the honor of your
presence at the marriage of their
daughter, Julia May, to Mr.. Fred H.
Kernohan, Tuesday evening, the 10th
day of December, 1907, at o'clock,
corner Sixth and and E. streets, Nam
pa, Idaho"
The foot ball and basket ball games
played at Delta Thursday between Pa
onia and Delta teams, were good games
and played to a large crowd. Delta
teams won by pretty large majorities,
but as these were the closing games of
the season, that was a necessary thing
for the champion foot ball and basket
ball teams to do. Good feeling pre-
vailed and the spectators enjoyed the
game. The day was nice but not SO
pretty weather as today.
After the war, long years ago, there
was much discussion about putting the
country upon specie basis. Many
thought it impossible-tha it never
would be possible. In discussion of
means covering several years, the
financial doctors were busy exploiting
theories and suggesting ways. Then
John Sherman, the old Republican war
horse, secretary of the treasury,
stepped boldly forth with the declara-
ton: The way to resume is to re-
sumo" This might be recalled by the
banks of the country at this time.
The way to resume is to resumed
The resources of Delta county are
almost unlimited. What is lacking
now, some needed land improvements
and water with which to irrigate all of
the tillable land, is in sight. Another
year is to witness the completion of
the great Gunnison Tunnel, which will
supply the required water. The other
improvements will be made by the
farmers and land owners themselves.
There is no reason why Delta county
and its good towns should not double in
population and wealth at least every
five years, for the next several genera
tions.

A fire alarm rang out Monday fore
noon and run was made to the hand
some residence of Mr.. VIM. Silsby on
North Meeker street, which is Just
being completed. A large crowd fol-
lowed the hose cart, on foot, in bug
gies and on horseback, exchanging
many a word of regret on the hurried
trip that one of Delta's new and most
handsome cottages should be thus
ruthlessly damaged if not destroyed by
fire. But it proved false alarm, as
the scare had been caused by the tin
ners at work up in the garret, where
the smoke seen seeping through the
roof proved to have come from their
melting solder.
