What Next Year Has In Store For Us.

What Next Year has In Store For Us.
81 believe next year will be the best
year Delta and Delta county have ever
had. Present indications point unmis-
takably to the fulfllment of such a
prophecy.
NJ. R. WEIGH"
From prospective crop prospect
next year promises all that could be
wished for; from real estate outlook
our values are bound to be solid; from
a water supply and snowfall source, the
Gunnison ranges have never failed US.

mo one except a chronic pessimist
would predict other than a most sue
cessful year for Delta and Delta county
in 1908. Without unforeseen, unexpected
and unlikely hinderance, we will have
the greatest year this county and its
rich valleys have ever known.
A. R. KING"
''To me the outlook for Delta and
Delta county appears very bright for
the coming year. With the wide and
favorable attention we have already
attracted and the marvellous merits of
our soil, 1908 should prove, by long
odds, the most prosperous in the history
of this county.
GEO. w. BRUCE"
Il am fully confident that the year
1903 will prove the most successful year
in Delta's history. There promises to
be more and larger investments in town
and county realty than perhaps have
been made during a combination of
years in the past.
T. K. SEAToN.
Pres. Delta County Business Mems
Association.
I Il see no reason why the year 1905
should not be progressive one. Busi-
ness is going along in a healthy,
undisturbed manner, resources are in
our favor, investments are good and
improvements promise to be unusually
active. l look upon the coming year as
one of fine promise for Delta and Delta
county.

$50 far as business interests are con-
eerned, things appear to be moving
along IN fine shape and we notice no
uneasiness, either among retailers or in
the wholesale trade. With conditions
at home so satisfactory and the realiza-
ton of the big crops expected. Delta
acunty should and believe will. exper-
ienee q genuine boom in 1908
]. E. HILLMAN.
81 fully expect great activity at Del
tn throughout the summer and fall of
1908. 1t should be the most progressive
year in the history of Delta county.
Indications favor a greater number of
investments and a larger amount Of
improvements than in any year hereto
fore.

"Delta today is one of the best towns
on the Western Slope and l believe,
with its great environments, it should
attract capital and be the banner town
in advancement of Colorado in 1908.
predict steady and permanent growth,
good increase in population, and won
derful improvements ahead for both
Delta and Delta county.
NJ. J. HIGGINS,
II was visited within the week by
Mr.. A. G. Matter of Omaha, Nebraska.
Mr.. Matter was for years with the
London Land Agency of Minneapolis,
and is one of the most widely expert
enced immigration agents of the United
States. He said: 4 have travelled
over the Middle States before coming
to the Western Slope and ! never heard
before SO much inquiry and interest in
land investments. More than this, those
of us who have heretofore held out
against irrigated districts are changing
our minds, and, as an evidence, l am
now negotiating for the purchase of
property in the Western Slope valleys
to cost $500, 900. predict great activ-
ity in land investments to begin
soon after January l9oS.' Knowing
Mr.. Matter well, and having been at
one time associated with him in busi-
ness, place great confidence in his
opinion. l believe Delta and Delta
county will have the best year in their
history in 1905.
