Four I Hundred
New Schedules

County Assessor S. L. Cockreham
left Monday for Denver to attend the
meeting of the State Assessors, held
Tuesday, at which time affidavits to
their schedules were made by the
different county assessors.
Mr.. Cockreham is taking excusable
pride in his work of assessor of Delta
county this year, he having made 400
new or additional schedules over last
year.
That should also be source of great
satisfaction to the county and the peo-
pie of the county, as it shows a good
influx of new people and rapid growth,
and also larger fund of taxes to be
collected.
Mr.. Cockreham has also been lucky
in catching sheep going through the
county, for assessment, the number
assessed this year being about 5000,
while the number actually fed and
grazed in Delta county is but little
more than two thousand.
The abstract of assessment, which
will be issued shortly, will be of unusual
interest because of the matters men,
toned.

Montrose Chautau-
qua Has Deficit

The Montrose Chautauqua is facing a
deficit in expenses over receipts of
between 81, 500 and $4,000, and the
citizens and business men are hustling
to make up the amount. 1t shows
enterprise to have lots of things on the
boards, but it is question of quite
serious import, sometimes; this meeting
the expenses. AS the expenses of this
Chautauqua. however. appear to have
only reached the sum of SO, 1853, it
would seem that the crowd it gave
Montrose for a week or more, should
have been worth it to the town.

Invents Smudge Basket

Delta seldom gets left and in the
matter of inventions, Mr.. Cartwright
has invented new smudge basket
which promises to be more than an or
dinary success. The basket has been
tested and made good by burning 6
hours on 8 pounds of coal. 1t has
draught from all directions and appears
capable of doing all required of sue
cessful smudge and fire receptacle. We
hope fruit growers will examine the in
vention and if satisfied give their or
ders. as it will be encouraging home
work and helping to keep the money at
home.

Hotel for Grand Mesa.

1t would seem that some one would
build a hotel on Grand Mesa, up by the
lakes. for the accommodation of those
who go there in summer time who pre-
fer to board rather than camp. This
resort is becoming SO popular that
there are hundreds of people up there
through the warm weather. and. as it
now is, all of them have to camp. This
necessitates the hauling up of camp
equipagc by each party. Most of the
people who go to the Mesa stay from a
week to three weeks, and new parties
are going all the time, not only from
Delta but from all parts of Delta coun =
ty. Year after year this number will
increase and hotel accommodations on
the Mesa would add to the number GO
ing.
Since writing the above we under
stand that the Grand Mesa Improve
ment company have plans for erecting
a hotel at the lakes and also supply
house.

Out of Town People

Attorney Millard Fairlamb and fami-
ly are on Grand Mesa for a week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Vandeventer have gone
up to Grand Mesa lakes for week.
Most of the people who are not
working and broiling in the towns and
valleys are up in the mountains fishing
and freezing.
DR.. Burgess and wife, sisters, moth
er and some friends visiting from the
East, are camping at Grand Mesa
lakes this week.
The vacation season is now on in fu Il
and more of our people join the outing
parties each week. Most of them go
camping on Grand Mesa
1t is claimed that an average of nearly
200 people are camping on Grand Mesa
this summer, fishing in the lakes and
otherwise enjoying the high altitude
and cool atmosphere.
If all the men, women and children
who go fishing caught an average of
one trout for each day they are out,
there wouldn't be single trout left in
any Colorado stream at the close of one
season.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stone, Mrs. W. H.
Chiles and children, of Delta. accom-
panied by Mr.. and Mrs. Tucker and
daughter, Miss Mary. of Little Rock,
Arkansas, left Wednesday for an out

j. Baird, Mr.. and Mrs. G. T. White,
Rev. and Mrs. S. A. Hayworth and
perhaps some others.

President for Delta County.

Pueblo, July %, 1908. w. P. Dale
of Delta, has been appointed Vice
President of the Colorado State FAIR
Association for this county, and with
his well known energy and ability, is
accomplishing much toward the success
of the institution which has thus
honored him. One Vice-president has
been chosen for each county of the
State, which officers will have charge
of the preparation of county exhibits,
and will use their influence throughout
their respective Counties TO interest as
In this connection Mr.. Dale, with his
wide and favorable acquaintance. will
be able to work much good for the
Fair and the probabilities are that with
the increased general interest which
has been manifested in the Fair this
year, there will be shown at Pueblo
September l4th to 18th a much larger
and even choicer collection of this
County's products than has ever before
been assembled. We urge every reader
of the INDEPENDENT TO plan to send
something to the State Fair. Full in
formation regarding premiums, steps
necessary in making entries, etc. can
be secured from Mr.. Dale who is
anxious to get in touch with intending
exhibitors. 1t is predicted that Live
Stock Raisers will exhibit much more
numerously than heretofore, owing TO
the liberal concession made by the
management in allowing all stall space
free, excepting to race horses, The new

and all persons desiring one can secure
it from Mr.. Dale in person, or by mail
by addressing the Secretary.

Snow Balls in August

A large and fine SNOWFALL bush in
w. H. Pratt's lawn on Palmer street,
keeps right on blooming, just as
though the regular season for it to do
so had not passed month or two ago.
The bush now has not only fresh bloom
but buds for future bloom. A case of
this kind was considered of sufficient
Importance in Denver for city paper
to write lengthy article on what
seemed n miracle down there, but over
here. where we have second crops of
Strawberries ripening in October, it is
only natural phenomena.

Word is at hand that our townsman,
fellow-citizen and county commissioner,
George C. Wilson, was united in mar
riage on the 2Sth of last month 10 Miss
Mayme Brown, at Jersey City, N. j.,
at the home of the bride. From Jersey
City the happy couple went to Newport
to toy with the tide and note the glim-
mer of the shells on the beach. When
Mr.. Wilson went East three weeks ago
some suspected it, while others did not.
Now all wish them happiness, long life
and much prosperity. The exact date
of the return to Delta of Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilson has not been ascertained, but
no doubt it will be in the near future.

The INDEPENDENT acknowledges an
invitation as follows:
"Mr. and Mrs. Burwell s. Pruett re-
quests the honor of your presence at
the marriage of their daughter, Imo-
gene Susanne TO Mr.. Donloe Enos
Lewis, on the evening of Wednesday
the twelfth of August. 1908, at half
after eight o'clock, 22l3 South Park
Avenue, Chicago"
MIR. Lewis and Miss Pruett were
secretly married in Delta some two
months ago, previous to the return of
the young lady to Chicago, by court
process. This marriage, however, was
not satisfactory to the parents of Miss
Pruett, who prevailed upon her and
Mr.. Lewis to have a church wedding
at their home in Chicago, and this will
take place on the 18th inst, after
which MIR. and Mrs. Lewis will return
to Delta to live.
While the well married young couple
received the hearty congratulations of
their hosts of friends when it became
known that they were married the
first time. those good wishes will be
reiterated on their return to our city
and a warm welcome extended them.
AT the Baptist parsonage Monday
afternoon in the presence of few near
relatives, Rev. S. A. Hayworth joined
in matrimony Miss Millie Billstrom and
Mr.. Emery Ward. The happy couple
will make their home at Read, and
have host of friends who wish them
many years of unclouded joy.

There are numerous people in Homo

templated transportation TO Vancouver

the finest vessels al present passing this
way between Canada and Australia,
viii arrive here on Wednesday next
from the Colonies with accommoda-
tons to spare for but two cabin and
two steerage passengers. 1t is sug-
gested that the fact that the Manuka
Is crowded means that many may be
en- route 10 the scenes Of the gather
ing Of vessels Of the American fleet
but the fact that transportation be-
tween Australia and Canada is limit
ed TO so few boats is more likely the
explanation.
Yesterday morning Theo H. Davies
& Co, local agents for the line, re-
ceived a cable 10 the effect that the
Manuka had left Fiji on time and
would be here according to schedule.
The cablegram also revealed the stu
alton in regard to passenger accom-
modations from this port.
The Manuka is looked for early

pected To sail for Vancouver and Vic
