The Delta independent., 1907-03-22
Observe Arbor Day.

The INDEPENDENT would like
to see citizens of Delta take a
half holiday on April 10 Arbor
Day-and plant trees. Every
body, men, women and children
devote the entire forenoon to this
purpose or as much of it as is
necessary for each person to
properly set out at least one tree.
Possibly two hours, from eight to
ten, would be a better suggestion
and would more likely be OBJ
served. Let petition be circu-
lated, or the mayor issue a proc
lamation, or both and all join
hands for at least a couple OF
hours and plant trees. What an
effect it would have on the ap-
pearance of Delta and the COM
fort and pleasure to its citizens
within a few years.
Tree planting comes but once
a year. 1t is something all who
own a lot intend tQ do, but so
many neglect until the time is
past. There is not another op-
portunity for twelve long months.
A large per cent of those living
in Delta now will be here five
years hence. We should want
the town to improve in appear
ance and comfort. Tree planting
is an important factor to such an
end, but to get trees planted in
large numbers it will be neces-
sary to bring about united effort,
hence the suggestion contained
herein.
In order to find out if trees can
be obtained for such purpose,
Mr.. A. w. Carr, the tree man,
was interviewed. He has the
trees and the following varieties:
Sugar Maple, Weir's Cut Leaf
Maple-which he recommends as
best, Lindon, Flowering Locust,
American Mulberry and the
North Carolina Poplar. Locusts
can be had for 25 cents each,
Poplars 25c. and all others SOC.
Now, let's take hold and do
something to help Delta on Arbor
Day. Let all who own property
arrange to put out trees on this
day. Those who have no realty
interests can afford to buy one or
more trees and plant them some
place for the good of the COM
munity.
We suggest that the Town
Company join in this movement
and get trees started around their
vacant lots.
Some arrangements should be
made to lay out the court house
grounds and plant trees there.
If the Commissioners will consent
and secure or make plans and
designate where the trees are tt
be planted we believe the Busi-
ness Mems Assn. will see to get
ting the trees and putting them
out. If this organization does
not see fit to take hold it can be
done by popular subscription
That court house y ard should be
parked, properly laid out and
beautified. Delta county should
get out of the business of raising
alfalfa in the center of the coun-
ty seat.
In order to start this move.
ment, which is of great impor.
tance, the INDEPENDENT will be
glad to publish better arranged
plan than anything suggested
herein and to urge it's adoption.
At any rate let us make some
thing out of Arbor Day for the
good of Delta.

PERMANENT BARRACKS
Desert AutOing

c. H. Bgelow, who is making rec
ord of desert roads for Southern Cilifor-
mia auto associations, came through
from Searchlight last week, via FL Do
RADIO canyon, in his REQ car, probably
the first to make the trip. He reports
the road in bad condition, especially
between Vegas and Mesquite Springs
and says he would recommend 1t to be
abandoned by the autoists, seeking an
other route via Upton.
Mr.. Bigelow was accompanied by his
wife and II. +. Paggett.
His exploration is expected to result
in a complete system OF duly marked
desert roads throughout Southern Cali
fornia and Southern Nevada.

SHELTER
Las Vegas Conceded to Be Fay
Orable Location

On his recent trip TO the mining
camps Senator Clark intimated on sew
eral occasions that he might take q
hand in building a smelter in Southern
Nevada. In each instance Las Vegas
was mentioned as a good point, on ac-
count of railroad facilities, water and
other favorable conditions.
With a branch railroad from some
point on the Salt Lake to Searchlight
and FL Dorado canyon, smelter at
Las Vegas would he easily accessible to
all the most important mining camps
of Southern Nevada, besides many pro-
ducing camps in San Bernardino and
Inyo counties, California, and entirely
by way of the Salt Lake and its branches.
The Senator made no promises in the
matter (and we're glad for that but it
is safe to assume that if he is instru-
mental in locating a smelter in Southern
Nevada, Las Vegas will receive serious
consideration. In fact, it is suggested
that he had this project in view in plan
ming the Salt Lake railroad and its feed
ers.
In the meantime, however, the shops
will be acceptable.

BULLFROGS
Mines and Mills Running and
Three Railroads Operating

Beatty and Bullfrog district is fortu-
nate in having three completed rail-
roads running trains every day.
The Shoshone mines and mill EN-
ploy over 100 men and turn out gold
and silver in paying quantities. The
main shaft is down about 600 feet
Half a dozen mills now running make
Bullfrog a gold producing camp of i'm

able to stem the money panic. Their
doors are wide open for business. Like
the city banks they are now using scrip,
but that will soon be retired, as cash
grows easier.

dispute over some water holes near P

a iurv at San Bernardino, The verdict
came as a surprise to those who have
followed the case. The fact that the

his favor.

GOLDFIELD
About 400 Soldiers Preserve
Law and Order

Thanks to President Roosevelt, Gov
eruor Sparks and other leading citizens
Of Nevada, troops have been sent to
Galdfeli before instead of after blood
shed and destruction. This is a new
but sensible departure
For three years Goldfeld has been a
lawless camp, from which men have
been beaten, run out or murdered for
daring to exercise their rights under
the laws of the land. With 400 soldiers,
but without martial law, Goldlield is
now orderly. Nearly all the leaders OF
anarchy and violence have left Goldfield
for more congenial climates. On arriv-
al OF the soldiers the fiery agitators
left camp in haste-and Goldfield is
orderly now.
The Mine Owners Association have
decided to open the mines immediate
ly under protection of the soldiers.
The scale of wages will be $400 and
$3.50. Miners who want their old jobs
will be given the preference, but own
ers will own their own mines hereafter
without the agitators.
PERMANENT BARRACKS
Let us hope the Government will
establish permanent barracks at
Goldfeld to preserve order. Local OF
ficials have failed to protect citizens
and property and it is the duty OF Uncle
sam to enforce law and order. Martial
law need not be declared. The presence
Of soldiers will have quieting influence
on lawless agitators and peaceable men
will be protected from violence.

FOR GREATER ECONOMY.
Manufacturing Drifting Closer to
Fields Where Raw Material Is
Produced.

Economy in every industry is be-
coming more pronounced year after
year. Manufacturing centers are drift
ing toward locations where the raw
materials can be secured at lower
cost. During the past ten years cot
ton manufacturing in the south has
increased more than a hundred per
cent, and there has been a decrease
in the production of textile manufac-
turing centers in the New England
states in proportion to the increase in
consumption. A score of years ago
the great flour manufacturing centers
were in New York and other eastern
states. To-day the west controls man.
ufactures of flour and cereal foods.
When mills are located in centers of
wheat and corn producing sections in
number sufficient to utilize the crops
OF local territory, it will work a bene-
fit to the farmers of the land in the
saving of what is now paid in freight
rates or raw products to manufactur-
ing c%enters, and the distribution cost
to consumers of the land. Every farm
er can help better conditions and help
himself by giving his support to local
manufacturing enterprises.
The Tupelo journal., 1907-09-27
OvercroWded Fields.

The growing seriousness of the mail
order houses cutting into the trade of
the country merchants no doubt will.
bring about a change in their methods
Of doing business. The keepers of
stores in small cities and towns must
change from obsolete ways and adopt
modern mercantile methods, or seek
some other vocation.
In the small towns the expenses of
conducting business are less than
in the large city, and while it may be
true that goods cannot be bought far
the prices paid by the big city dealers,
and freight rates in some cases may
be higher, conditions could be bet
tered if the merchants would only set
about to meet competition as they
should.
A district containing an average
population can support only a limited
number of stores. Too often it is
the case that there are more stores
than is needed to- supply the wants
of the community. Such a condition
is caused chiefly by those who desire
to enter mercantile life, exercising
poor judgment in selecting a location.
They enter al Over-crowded town and
fail to follow sound good business
principles. The result is failure, or
a mere struggle and an injury to the
interests of the town in which they
are located.

MAKING CHEAP GOODS.
Low Prices Too Often Mean Inferscf
Articles.

Efforts to cheaper cost of produc-
ticn of numerous classes of goods and
to place them on the market in COM
petition with well advertised lines,
and at much lower price, has inhu-
enced not too honest manufacturers
to turn out very inferior articles. So
long as they can be made attractive
In exterior appearance SO as to please
thase whose tastes are for the
SNOWY seems to. be the only consid-
GRAFTON. In the manufacture of stoves
n ranges particularly is there great
opportunity :or fraud. In different
cities of the middle west are large
concerns that make a specially Of
manufacturing stoves to supply deal
ers who depend on cheapness to Sc.
cure sales. These manufacturers buy
frofh junk dealers all classes of old
iron, and this remelted and worked
over enters largely into their manu-
featured articles. The result is that
a stove is produced that while it ap-
pears to be all right, a few months
use will prove it to be almost worth
less. The tensile strength is not
there, the metal is rotten and brittle,
and the expansion caused by the heat
makes it warp and crack. The Innings
are Of the poorest material.
One of the tricks employed is the
use of old sheet iron for lining.
Throughout the south and in many of
the large northern cities the manu-
facture of artificial ice is extensively
carried on, Galvanized iron cans of
the capacity Of a 300-pound ice-cake
are used, and in every large plant
thousands of cans are in use. The
ammonia that is used in the process
OF freezing soon causes the cans to
corrode, and then they are rendered
useless for the purpose required. The
stove manufacturing concerns buy up
these discarded cans, and use them
for lining stoves. 1t can be judged
that the life of the stove in this way
is shortened, but as the stoves are
never intended to last long, the lining
is as good az the other material
which enters into their composition.
In appearance these stoves are all
that can be desired, but their wearing
n durable qualities are not half that
of a properly made stove should be.
They are often sold at as high prices
as the best .~rticle, but more frequent
ly are disposed of as big bargains"
and are dealt in extensively by n
Germs that advertise themselves as
manufacturers and do business ''di-
rect with the consumers through the
mails. Makers of stoves who put out
brands of goods known to be standard
never resort Is su@h methods. as one
inferior stove might result in the loss
of a dozen sales, and no reputable
stove dealer OF hardware merchant
would handle the goods.

Are Factors in the Enlightenment Of
the People.

This is an era when the business
man who would succeed must place
the. -::ght value upon publicity. This
is the most enllghtc3e3 ela The world
has ever known. Only a small Lo,-

any American community.
In every farmers house can be
found from one to a dozen newspa.

The Old-Style farmer is fast passing.
and there is a general admission that
intelligence, in fact scientific training

the business house and factory. With
telephones, daily rural delivery serv-

advanced classes. They are readers,
thinkers and logicians. Growing gen.

healthier moral atmosphere. The

THE STORY.

MOT only had the religious lIfe O
~ King David been quickened By the
bringing of the ark to Jerusalem, but
that of the whole nation as wekl, anC
the king found new delight and pur
pose in the performance of his helig
ious devotions as he came to realize
how the people looked to him ais ex.
ample. and leader. and were pleased
to follow him in a closer observance
of the Mosaic law.
The sad tragedy connected with
bringing up the ark had stirred the
nation profoundly, and the depression
which had followed gave place Inter
to a more profound reverence for God,
for David had corrected his own mis-
apprehensions regarding the incident
and had completed the task of bring.
ing up the ark to the royal city and
placing it within the holy of holes In
the tabernacle. Thus he had reassureh
the people. \
What a glad time that had been and
how King David had won the admira.
ton and love of the people as he had
mingled in common with them in the
joyful procession that danced before
the Lord as the ark progressed upon
its journey. And what a new mean.
ing the sacrifices had taken on in the
regard of the people as the solemn
service was performed at short inter
walls upon the journey, David having
caused the erection of affairs along the
line of the march. And following the
glad but solemn ceremony of INSTALL
ing the ark in it's place in the temple
had come as we have said, a revival in
the heart of the king as well as in the
hearts of his people, so that the obli-
cations to the Lord were regularly and
faithfully performed by all the people.
the king taking delight in leading the
people in this respect.
One day after King David had been
to the tabernacle to present his offer.
ing before the Lord and to have the
priest make sacrifice for him he was
in particular citation of spirits. and his
whole heart overiowed with impulse
to honor the God who had SO signally
blessed him and who now had given
him rest from all his enemies round
about.
Why, this splendid palace of cedar
is a monument and testimony 10 the
friend whom the Lord has raised up
for me in Hiram. king of Tyre" David
exclaimed. appreciatively as he enter
the stately portal and proceeded to
the inner private apartments, whittier
ne had loved OF late to withdraw him
self and let his mind contemplate the
things of God and to dwell upon his
holy law. Laying aside his outer robe,
he stretched himself upon the low
diyan in a nook of the spacious apart
ment overlooking a courtway in which
