Las Vegas, n. NJ. April 27.--(Spc-
ciaD The fight to close this city up
tight on Sunday, which has oeen
threatened for some time. has begun
in earnest and If the plans of the re-
Gently elected city officials are put
into effect, as 1t is said they will be,
there will not be even cigar sold
on Sundays after this.
Notice was given today to all busi-
ness men in the city that no business
on Sunday will be tolerated in the
future and that every store in the
town, of whatever nature, must be
closed tight during that day. No back
door or side door entrances will be
open either, If these plans are carried
out, and Las Vegas will put on the
lid. bolt it down and seal up the
cracks.
The present effort to close all bust
ness houses has been spurred into
activity somewhat by the revival now
in progress in this city. The services
conducted by Rev. Barrett are draw
ing immense crowds and are attract
ing the attention and interest of all
classes. While the campaign against
the open sunday has broken out at
various times in the past it has never
reached the acute stage where all
business men without regard TO the
nature OF their business were given
| orders to close up. s
Not Even a Ham Sandwich.
Las Vegas will be closed tighter
on Sunday than any other town In the
| territory" said one of the newly
elected officials in speaking of pres
ent plans, today. THE law contem-
plates tnat only such work as Is abso-
lutely necessary may oe done on that
day, and while we do not, of course,
intend to force hardship on anyone,
We will see that less latitude is al
lowed business men in this city on
Sunday. There Is no necessity for
many of the business houses remain
| ing open as they do now, and it will
| be stopped"
As now planned the officers expect
to close up everything with the ex-
ception of drug stores, which will be
! open during certain hours, so that
prescriptions may be filled. It is not
| known whether restaurants Will be
| permitted to remain open during the
| day. except in the morning, at noon
and at night, but it is reported that
the officials will close them between
meals, Every other business will be
closed
The majority of citizens approve of
the plan but there is considerable op-
| position to it among the business men
who have been accustomed to keeping
| their stores open on Sunday. They
| are planning to oppose it in the coun-
ell and by popular sentim ent and on
this account the fight will be bitter.

Meeting of Mothers Club.

A new feature of the work of this
department was arranged by the super
intendent Mrs. Bragg, and carried out
with great success on Friday afternoon,
November Goth.
1t has been desired that greater CO.
operation might exist between parents
and teachers, hence a program was ar
ranged to which the pupils of the 4th
grade. Mrs. Moss, teacher,-invited
their parents.
Following this, addresses were made
by Mrs. Browne, who by virtue of her
sympathy and experience spoke ably
on the Importance of bringing the par
epts and teachers into close relation in
order to work to best advantage in de-
veloping a well balanced child.
Rev. Barron's words were inspiring
as he spoke of the spiritual training.
Mr.. Condit manifested by his re-
marks such interest in the all-round
development of our children as was
very gratifying. We hope to accept
his hearty invitation to 'come again"
and present the matter in other rooms.

Mr.. Blake Buys
Delta Democrat.

The purchase of the Delta Democrat
from Mr.. High was effected last week
by Geo. o. Blake.
Mr. Blake last spring came to this
county from Golden, where he had
been for number of years, printing
instructor at the State Reformatory.
He took an interest in the Newspaper,
at Paonia, with Mr.. Rawalt. Last
week he closed out his interest in the
Paonia Newspaper to MIR, Rawalt and
bought the Democrat.
Mr.. Blake is an old newspaper man
and practical printer, as well as
ready writer.
AS an evidence of business qualifica-
ton he announces his intention of rails
ing the subscription price of the Demo-
crat to s2 year. No man can publish
a newspaper on the Western Slope at
dollar year and not lose money on
every subscription, as that sum will not
cover the average cost of the blank
paper used. Paper stock is getting
higher all the time and freight charges
even from Denver to Delta, add 25 per
cent to wholesale prices
1t is easy enough to start a news
paper which may not be expected to
run but a few months, or through
campaign, and do it at a dollar year,
but when a man expects to be per-
manent, he must do business upon
business basis in prices, or fail.
While three papers may be one too
many in Delta at the present time, the
INDEPENDENT is always ready to take
its own chances and to wish competitors
the best they can get out of any situa-
ton; so, Mr.. Blake, here's our hand:
1t may not look it, but we try to keep
it moderately clean.

Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving day passed quietly in
Delta, though its observance in all de-
partments was fairly thorough. There
were church services as per program
and feasting at the dinner hour. The
supply of turkey was ample at the
homes, the hotels and the booth tables.
Business houses were generally closed
in the afternoon and some throughout
the day. Among the younger of the
population good many hunting parties
were out and Bunny had not much to
be thankful for, and neither had His
Majesty. the Turk. But this is dam
gerous line Of thought. 1t borders too
closely to the monster part Of Superior
Man. Let US therefore continue to be
thankful along the line of established
traditions.

DELTA COLORADO, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER u, 1908.
Delta County Captures
Best Fair Premiums.

Delta county got the best of all the
fruit premiums at Denver's Interstate
Fair, and E. F. Hubbard is the happy
man who totes around the medal. 1t is
a nicely milled bronze, encased in q
plush-lined case, and is valued more
highly by MIR. Hubbard than would be
the rarest of jewels.
The premium was awarded for the
largest and best collection of perfect
fruits by one individual.
In his exhibit Mr.. Hubbard had 2e
varieties of apples, eleven varieties OF
peaches. six of grapes and two of ap-
ricots.
In the judgment sumed up this ex-
hibit excelled Montrose county three
points and Mesa county one point. and
while the competition was open to
other states; none of them came near
the award.
1t is not only very gratifying to Mr..
Hubbard to capture this prize, but it is
big plume in Delta county's cap, for
this is the most sought of all the
awards. Aside from it. however, Delta
county captured the best general ex-
hibit prize. as well as many others,
both at the Interstate and State
Fairs.
The public should be convinced that
there are but few fruit sections quite
as good as those of Delta county, and
this applies to an average of the whole
county. The pest apples and the best
peaches are grown here and the sam e
applies to other fruits.

Water Users Meeting.

Those interested should not forget
the water users meeting at Olathe next
Monday. Those who cannot attend
and who are entitled to vote, should
see that their proxies are represented.
The result of this meeting may be
history making good or bad-for the
Uncompahgre Valley. and will mean
much for Delta as well as Montrose
counties, for the interest of each, as
well aa that of every locator and land
owner, will be effected The reclama-
ton Of 150, 900 acres of desert land is a
subject whose weight none can under
estimate.

Coal Resources.

Delta's wealth of coal is very i'm
portant resource, and will become more
and more valuable as time advances.
The great quantity of coal used is
gradually lessening the supply all over
the world, and coal. like timber, offers
a problem Of supply and demand whose
solution only the boldest dare to even
venture n guess. To the present gen.
Grafton there need be no alarm, but to
our children and to our childrcn's chill
dren, little piece of coal land can be
regarded as valuable heritage, wheth-
er the coal in its strattas be Ignite,
bituminous or anthracite.

Joys of Thanksgiving Turned to Sorrow
by Distressing Accident.
Russell Smith Receives Wound which Results in
Death Through Loss of Blood and Exposure

Russell Smith, aged about II, met
with an accident causing death a few
hours later, while hunting rabbits eight
miles north of town Thanksgiving day.
Young Smith was out with his
brother-in-law. Albert McLain, the two
driving up the pipe line toward Grand
Mesa range. At the time of the ac-
cident they were. separated, young
Smith being about two miles from the
buggy.
He slipped on a rock and the shotgun
he was carrying was discharged, the
entire load entering his arm at the
elbow and tearing it to shreds. He
attempted to tie up the wound but the
walk of two miles to the buggy caused
the loss of so much blood and with the
eight miles ride to town, the shock to
his system proved more than he could
rally from. He reached town about
80 p. m. and died at $50. DR.. Burgess
was called and did all that could be
done to stimulate and restore life to
the weakened boy.
Russell was the youngest and only
unmarried son of Mrs. Julia Smith, who
lives on Dodge street, where, when the
wounded boy was brought home, the
Thanksgiving dinner was prepared and
waiting, and where a sadder Thanks
giving was never recorded. Mrs.
Smith was rendered frantic with grief
over the deplorable accident. Two
older brothers. Clarence and Walter,

Million Dollars
In Fruit Crop.
And There are Other Crops. Not Bad
at all For an ''Off Year."
This is What Makes Delta County Prosperous.

Did it ever occur to you to stop and
think how much million dollars is?
A million one-doliar bills, crisp and
new, placed one upon the other. would
make a stack 500 feet high.
Well, a million dollars is not far from
the aggregate of the fruit marketed in
Delta county in this "crop failure
year.
From the ten associations in the
county comes the estimate of over
s5OO. 900 worth of apples sold, while the
peaches. apricots, plums, prunes and
berry crops will run the aggregate well
up TO the million mark.
If little is lacking it can be easily
supplied from the melons and vege-
tables.
If, every single dollar, in its circula-
ton from one person to another in a
community, pays ten dollars of debts.
a million dollars should perform the
business functions of ten million, which
would mean circulation per capita of
$500 for every man. woman and child
Of our 20. 200 population.
But a million dollars worth Of fruit
and vegetables does not tell the whole
story.
Our farmers are marketing $3.50, 900
worth Of sugar beets, are cutting 500. :
00o worth Of alfalfa, raising n much
more in grain and potatoes. beside the
large stock interests Of ranch and
range.
Is there any wonder that Delta coun-
ty is prosperous or that property values
continue to climb?

Death of Bishop Knight.

The death of kindly Bishop knight,
which occurred at Glenwood Springs
Sunday, must be deeply regretted by
all, in and out of his church, resident

Bishop was an able churchman, a
splendid citizen and a grand example of
man.
