HOLDS BACK NAME
FROM BISHOP RACE
Rev. DR.. Calvert Is Emphatic
Against Being a
Candidate.
HARMONY NEEDED,
MINISTER DECLARES
Wants Freedom to Work for Man
Who Would Fill Office and
Unity the Diocese.

In spite OF his popularity among
Episcopalians, the Rev. G. Calvert Car
ter. rector Of St Andrews Church, to-
day stated positively that he will not
be a candidate for the bishopric of
Washington when the convention meets
November 10. DR.. Carter declared that
when he withdrew his name at the
prevfous convention his action was final.
The office should 90 to a man who
will be the choice OF the diocese. not
that of any particular party in the
church, DR.. Carter said. He should
not be so high as 70 discourage the sup
port of the low churchmen, and he
should not be too low to gain that of
high churchmen. This is one reason
why I was particularly disappointed
that Dr. Mann declined the bishopric.
He is a man who could gain the help
and support Of all, and make the diocese
really and truly one"
DR.. Carter said he was afraid II his
name is further linked with the bish-
opric, It might mislead many into be-
lievIue that he desired the office, and
this is why he makes a statement

the matter with other clergymen, and

Saturdays Primaries.

The Republican primaries in Delta
county last Saturday were quiet but
very active. One of the things shown
was the great growth of Republican
voters, some of the precincts having a
much larger vote than they had Repub-
lcans two years ago. This condition
is very easily accounted for when it is
taken into consideration that the popu-
latiop in some precincts in the towns
has doubled since the last general cleo
ton.
The warfare waged was mainly be-
tween Merle ID. Vincent and NJ. r.
Welch as candidates for Representa-
tive, both the contest and vote being
resolved down to delegates favoring
the one or the other. In the Delta pre-
cincts the votes averaged better than
two to one for Judge Welch delegates,
and the returns from the county give
Welch 60 out of the l07 delegates, a
clear majority, which would seem to
settle the matter of his nomination for
Representative at the county conven-
ton tomorrow.
After the decisive contest at the
primaries, 1t is hardly to be expected
that any special effort will be made on
the part of the defeated candidate to
change the results at tomorrow con-
vention, and it is further anticipated
that the party will be united and har-
monious for victory this fall.

Great is Della Countyl

Crops are being gathered nearly all
the season at Delta. That is the ad-
vantage of being able to raise a multi.
tude of products. First it was straw
berries; then garden stuff, potatoes.
peas, lettuce, radiishes, caulifiower;
then raspberries, blsckberries, currants
and cherries; along this time come
alfalfa cutting, wheat and oats, and
then alfalfa again. Now peaches and
early apples, cantaloupes and water
melons are shipping and between that
and the time for gathering winter
apples we will have n third cutting of
alfalfa, and from October to December
the harvesting of thousands of acres o,
sugar beets. There are a good many
things we have emitted to mention, like
the steady gathering through the sum-
mer of many carloads of the finest
honey, the stock and poultry industries.

afternoon, aside from handling to some
extent the state faction controversy in
some of the precincts, had local issue
to decide in favor of Judge Dickerson
and Clyde Stewart for candidate for
county judge. The INDEPENDENT
learned yesterday that Mr.. Stewart
won majority of the delega tions and
that the fact was conceded by Judge
Dickerson. the present holder of the
office. Clyde Stewart is the law part
ner of Judge King, and deserving and

Balloon Races at County Fair.

One of the strong free attractions at
the Mesa County Fair this year will be
the balloon races which will take place
every afternoon. The Fair Association
has positive guarantee that the bal
loon races will be strictly as advertised.
The aeronauts will come from Kansas
City, Mo. and are engaged from firm
of standard reputation. The two bal
looms will leave the ground at the same
time and the aeronauts will race to the
clouds, the one attaining the greatest
height and lighting on the ground last
will be held as the winner of the race.
The dates of the fair this year are Sep
tember % to 25th, inclusive. A bigger
and better program has been arranged
and the old motto of the Fair will be
carried out to the letter. Better Than
Ever

Fruit and Beet Shipments.

A carload of fruit sounds to people
in many parts of the world like large
amount, but when it comes to whole
train loads, it is an eye-opener. Delta
county this year has only part of a
crop and has shipped very many tons
of small fruit by express, yet it is
estimated that there will be from 1900
TO 500 carloads of peaches and apples
to be shipped. This, cut up into trains
Of 10 carloads each, would rep
resent one hundred train loads of
apples and peaches alone. On the same
basis of figuring, Delta county will ship
this fall TO the sugar factory two hun
dred train loads of sugar beets of Is
cars to the train and 20 tons to the car,
which is only counting on crop of co.
600 tons from 5000 acres now in full
cultivation.

Land Must Pay for unnel.

Considerable disappointment has
arisen among the locators under the
Gunnison tunnel reclamation service as
they begin to understand that they must
perhaps pay more than S25 an acre for
their land or water. Most of them
understood that s25 per acre was fixed
amount, while it is claimed that, under
the reclamation law, the land must pay
the cost of providing the water, and it
is now believed that n basis of S25 per
acre for all the land to be reclaimed by
the Gunnison tunnel will not nearly
pay Tor the tunnel.

4 YEAR HAS PASSED.

With the present week new year is
begun by the INDEPENDENT.
During the past year the paper has
improved in business despite the many
little handicaps, and that the effort to
improve it as home newspaper have
not resulted in failure is attested by
its increasing circulation and the testi-
monials of many of its subscribers.
The year past has been an exceed
ingly busy one with the publisher, he
being placed in position in which it
was necessary to take part in the
work of office force as well as try to
edit the paper, gather news for its
columns and look after it's business
generally. He had financial obligations
to meet in the purchase of the paper
which ombined hard work PROPOSE
ton az well as the taking of chance.
So far he has met every obligation
promptly. The working force has not
missed payday on Saturday through
the year, while every other bill the
paper has made was paid promptly and
could have been discounted.
But the steady grind in the Office has
made getting acquainted slow. and we
have been compelled to look to the
future for a time when we could per-
sonally get over the county and meet
as many of its people as possible. This
we hope to do IN the next year. We
know by the kindness and courtesy
shown us as stranger, something of
the delight personal contact and ac-
quaintance with such nice people must
insure.
What has been done in newspaper
building the past year has been accom-
plished under difficulties. Conditions
were not so favorable as during the
former year. Then we had neither
sufficient money nor equipment TO build
rapidly. Still the worst is now passed
and another newspaper year for the
INDEPENDENT has begun with brighter
prospects, because the paper is now on
better business foundation than 1t
perhaps ever was before.
The charge was flippantly made by
other papers last fall when buying, that
the Independent had made its regular
annual sale AS matter of fact it
takes good newspaper proposition to
sell, and we regard the INDEPENDENT
today MS the best weekly newspaper
proposition in Colorado. one which can
reasonably hope to build up as it helps
to build its city and county; one that
has future as well as present.
During the past summer we could
have sold the INDEPENDENT half a
dozen different times for n sum con-
siderably in advance of that paid for it.
We shall use every effort to improve
the INDEPENDENT in future as in the
past, and hope for the same con slider
ate, kindly aid from the people of Delta
and Delta county.

Fall Spraying for
Apbis Important.

AF~'S
The purpose of this article is to call
to the attention of the fruit growers
the great advantage to be gained by
the immediate spraying of all apple, or
pear trees, infested with either the
Green or the Woolly aphis.
The reasons why spraying at this
time will probably result in more good
than at any other season of the year,
especially in the control of the Green
aphis, are apparent when we under
stand the life histories of the species of
insects under discussion.
For several weeks during the summer
months winged generations of the
Green aphis put in their appearance,
spread from tree to tree and from or
chard to orchard. At the present time
no winged Green aphis can be found,
neither will they again appear this sea-
son. There can be found, however,
wingless males and females, the latter
of which will soon begin depositlng
eggs, on the twigs, which will hatch
next spring into wingless females
which. in the characteristic way of the
family Aphididae, will, In few days
after Matching, begin giving birth to
living young.
The fact that there are no winged
aphis at this season of the year makes
it possible to rid an orchard of the pests
without chance of reinfestation this
fall, thus allowing the trees to recover
somewhat their normal condition, and
also insuring against attack the coming
spring until the winged ones begin to
come from unsprayed orchards, or from
trees where some We're unavoidably
missed in the operation of spraying.
The winged forms of this species of
aphis were first seen the past season on
the 18th of May, so about the latter
part of May rapid increase in the
number of aphids may be expected due
to the establishing of new colonies by
the winged females. From this time
until about the 5th of August many
of the winged forms are noticed.
Orchards infested with the Woolly
aphis should be sprayed Immediately,
as the first winged generation of this
species of plant louise is just appearing
and if not killed by spraying their mi
grafton will result in the rapid increase
of the pest.
The majority of the orchardists will,
no doubt, agree with me in that the
best spray to use is the tobacco decoc-
tion sold under the name of BLACK
Leaf" This substance should be d.
luted by using about one part of the
BLACK Leaf" to 20 parts of water.
The success of the spraying will de-
pend entirely upon the thoroughness of
application of the material. l believe
it is safe to say that more failures are
due to careless spraying than to all
other causes. Spraying is rather ex-
pensive operation and for that reason
many do not use enough of the materi-
al to give satisfactory results. 1t is
well to bear in mind, however, that
one thorough spraying will not cost any
more than two or three when the work
is half done, and the benefits derived
will be much greater.
