The Delta independent. [volume] (Delta, Colo.) 1886-19??, 1907-10-25

The INDEPENDENT is greatly gratified
by expressions of satisfaction volun-
tarily made by subscribers from differ
ent parts of the county regarding the
papers appearance, course, makeup
and newsiness. These complimentary
expressions backed by the proof Of q
growing subscription list. will 60 far to
encourage the INDEPENDENT in its ef-
forts to constantly improve.
w. P. Dale, efficient committeeman
at the last State Fair, is digging his
spuds and they are beauties. He
brought in some Tuesday Of the Rural
New Yorker brand, that could be got
through the Office door by rolling them
in edgewise. They were perfect pota-
toes-a part Of the best-in-the-world
kind that Delta county produces-and
we took them home to fill long felt
want.
1t is quite encouraging to the fruit
growing sections of the West to realize
the strength of the market for their
product. In the mountain sections near
home and throughout the middle states
Western fruits find ready market at
much better prices than prevail East,
and this condition promises to last, for.
as the acreage in fruit increases, the
demand by a steadily growing popula-
ton keeps full pace.
The next meeting of the Business
Mems Association should be rousing
one. 1t is to be held at Odd Fellows
hall in Delta and it will be preceded
by q supper given by the ladies' of the
M. E. church. 1t is to be beet sugar
factory meeting and everybody in the
county should turn out. There is need
for good hard work in this matter. We
want a strong pull and pull alto
gcther. Date, November 4th.
speaking of the sugar beet factory
matter one day this week citizen Of
Delta county said: There are thous-
and men in Delta county, each of whose
credit is good for a fair amount, who
should take stock in q cooperative
company to build and operate factory.
With proper subscription to stock of
such a company guaranteed and q
modest payment upon such stock, plenty
of low interest money could be had
with which to build and operate the
factory"

Grand Junction got out of its cage and
took to the cottonwoods that grow in
the streets down there. After spending
two hours trying to capture his pet and
tearing his clothes, q neighbor's cat
beat him to it. It would have ibeen
easy enough for him to have regained
his pet if he had only known how. All
he would have had to do would be to
climb the tree and make noise like q
nut, and the squirrel would have ran
right into his pocket.
