Wanted---T Politicians.

At the Baptist church next Sunday
evening to hear Rev. S. A. Hayworth' S
special post-election sermon on "A
Gospel For the Disappointed Politi-
cian." There will be special music.
All are invited.
The building occupied by II. W.
Pratt's steam laundry caught fire in the
roof Tuesday between twelve and one
p. m, but was discovered and an alarm
given in time and the fire did but little
damage except to burn hole through
the roof at the east end. The water
from the hose carts sprinkled the
clothes on hand little, but the build
ing and machinery were saved and
work only delayed for few hours.
The building was frame and the escape
from confiagration was another of
Delta's lucky ones.

High School Items.

Miss Ethel Bear and Miss May Over
bay visited the High School during the
fore part of the week.
Prosessor Dick of Denver gave an
interesting lecture to the students on
Thursday morning of last week.
The Literary and Debating society
composed of the first and second years
of the High School met on Monday
after school and gave their program.
We were glad to have Professor
Andrews visit the High School Monday
morning. He was our science teacher
last year, and now teaches at Walens-
burg, Colorado.
The gate receipts were very good at
the foot ball game last Saturday they
brought in one hundred forty-five
dollars. About two hundred excur-
sionists came up here with the Grand
Junction High School athletic teams.
At the public supper given by the
Athletic Association on last Saturday
evening netted them about fifiy-five
dollars The reception given to the
Grand Junction High School by our
High School was a success. and every
one had good time.
On Saturday afternoon Grand juno
tion and Delta High schools played foot
ball and basket ball on the Garnet
Mesa ball grounds. Delta won the
foot ball game with score of le-0 and
the basket ball game with score of Q
to 2. Thus we are Western Slope
champions this year in basket and foot
ball.

Got a Pelican

Everthlng grows big over in this
favored section of Gods footstool, from
spuds to bank accounts, so it is no
wonder hunters spring big yarns. But
this is true one. Fred Gibson and
Caple Horton last week went gum ing
at Suttle's lake ana bagged a pelican /;
not a common jim-crow bird. but a
peacherino. 1t measured eight feet and
four inches from tip to tip, five feet
and six inches in length and had a
seventeen inch bill. And even at that
the boys think it was young one
Olathe Criterion.
Tne boys ought to try Grand juno
tion. There are said to be a number
of "Old Pellicans" down there.

Al Things Favorable
for Next Year.

1t is not too much to predict that
next year will be better one than this
for Delta county crop yields. This has
beon good one for lots of products.
SGsaf beets, grains. alfalfa and many
..her products have given fine returns,
but the fruit crop in the county-aver-
aging the orchards, has been less than
half crop. True we have shipped
hundreds of carloads of peaches and APP
pies to outside markets, but this is
very little compared with what our
now great acreage of orchards would
do at their best. We have had two
frost years and may not have another
so unfavorable for number of years; !;
but, even If we do, our fruit growers
will be much better prepared to protect
their trees against it than ever before.
And so, with business and all condi-
tions normal, as they will now become,
and a good crop and fruit season next
year, such active conditions as were
never before heard of will reign in
Delta county.

Horses Stolen.

VIM. Lance had a valuable team of
horses stolen on election day. AT any
rate they were gone when he returned
to his home about two miles out, and
an examination of the lot fence where
they had beer enclosed. showed cut
wire and other evidences which con-
vinced him they had been stolen. Sher-
if Gibbs was notified and is doing all
possible to trace the horses and capture
the party or parties taking them.

Delta Grows!
4 Bit of History.

1t v i'll be RENE mbered that tho val
leys of the Gunnison and Uncompa hgre
were once but a sage-brush expanse,
supposedly good only for stock to range
upon. A knowledge of the richness of
the soil gradually became known to
degree sufficient that tests in crude
way were made. These tests proved
enough to warrant more extensive ex-
periments; bitches were built to con-
vey.water onto the land and the results
were the most astonishing. From land
cleared of sage and chico brush great
crops were raised. Then fruit raising
tests were made with equally satisfac-
tory results, until today these valleys
have their thousands of farms and or
chards, the land netting to owners all
the way from $50 to 81 900 per acre in
a years crop. Towns sprang up which
have become cities. Railroads were
built which are hurdened. sometimes
beyond their capacity, with + ne tr;lfic
of production. Sug- beet culture and
many broad acres of orchard have
added vastly to the output and in
creased the value of the land. The
homestead shack or cabin has been ex-
changed on most of the farms fo5 the
substantial and in many cases modern
palatial residence. National banks
have been organized whose vaults are
filed with the earnings Of depositors.
Handsome church edifices have been
erected. representing almost all denom-
nations and great school buildings have
been built in which TO house and edu-
cate the children.
The citizenship is of the best. Men
with families, seeking homes where
ideal conditions existed, have sold their
possessions in Eastern. Northern,
Southern and Middle states and have
come to these valleys 10 buy new
homes. Here the profits to reward
them and the moral. healthful, equible
conditions of climate and neighborhood,
enticed them. and here they intend to
stay.
With such people progress is an es-
tablished motto; so, wonderful as has
een the advancement made in years
that are gone. much greater things are
in store for the future, whose great
ness no artist pen of the present can
picture.
Delta county is land where five and
ten acre tracts will eventually consti-
tute a fortune.
Delta county is land which will be-
come more and more an empire of hap
py homes and prosperous people.
Delta county is a land whose rich soil
will continue TO amaze the world with
its manifold products.
In this favored spot education, pros
perity, morality, will continue to guide
the destinies of its population to per-
feet man and womanhood and influence
their lives to the best of citizenship.

4 Safe Bet.

A young man who may have voted
for Bryan, offered to bet Delta young
lady the other day that every bank in
the United States would be closed four
months after Taft is inaugurated. She
was about to make the wager when
she happened to remember that four
months from the 4th of March would
be the 4th of July. and that all the
banks would, in reality, be closed on
that day. Cute young man-but the
girl was too smart for him.

Delta, DeIta-'R an! Rail- 'Rah!
For weeks the Grand Junction papers
have been giving their readers ''dope"
on how the High School Tigers" of
that village were going to chew up the
Delta High School Huskies in the
championship game of football to be
played at Delta Athletic Park last
Saturday.
The day was fine and Grand Junction
moved to Delta by special train which
carried the Tigers and a large excur-
sion of their friends and rooters.
Before the football game occurred
the basketball game in which the Delta
girls won over the Grand Junction girls
by score of 9 to 2. The game was
lively and full of interest.
In the football game the first half
was well played, as, indeed, was ais
the second half. b1t It soon be :arne
apparent to spectators that tie I. gers
had little chance 10 score. Win the
playing of the two teams even, the
superior weight of the Delta team was
euouSu W seCufe Steduy urlHS dCroSs
and back. However, there was not,
as Grand Junction papers would hav e
the public believe, any superior playing
on the. part of their team over Delta.
The Delta team played fair football
throughout, winning every point by
good play as well as superior weight,
and did not seek the aid of rough pla Y
to help them along.
The game, however, was an interest
ing one and the large crowd who
witnessed it was appropriately enthus-
iastic.
1t leaves the Western Slope champion
ship where it was, with Delta, and
there it is likely to remain for this and
perhaps other years.
