Develop the Coal

There is worlds of coal in Delta
county, and while it isn't coo! sub
ject to talk about in hot weather, it
sounds soothing enough for winter
time. And by the way, our coal re-
sources would stand better develop
ment. Then, too. better roads and
better transportation facilities are
needed for the coal fields. Cedaredge
people, whose territory joins good coal
deposits, are pulling for an electric
road to bring the product of the mines
not only to close in consumers, but
whereby to connect with railroad ship
ment to more distant markets. Our
coal resources will be fully developed
in time. but the matter should be
urged as much as possible.

A Series Of Accidents.

The little four-year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Biers, living on California
Mesa, was drowned in the Gunnison
river at the Roubideaux ford last Sat
urday. Mrs. Biers was driving across
the river with the boy in a buggy,
when the current caught and over
turned the vehicle, throwing both in
the water. Elisha Allen. who was in
the vicinity on horseback. saw the
buggy overturned and rode for the
spot at full speed. Dashing into the
river below the ford he jumped from
his horse into the water to look for one
or both of the occupants Of the buggy,
and it happened that the body of Mrs.
Biers which was being towed by cur
rent beneath the surface, at that mo-
ment floated against his feet. He sue
ceeded in getting Mrs. Biers to shore
just in time to prevent fatal strangula-
ticn. The body of the little boy could
not be found. and we under stand has
not yet been recovered. The Biers
family were new comers to California

Mr.. Moran continues:
Not Paid on Time.
Even if / had done that work in ten

been released, and didn't care what
Barlow said.
