has gone into history What

been committed will OF course
cast its shadows, but it will be
the duty of all good citizen to

stepping stones to higher and

where there is no progress and
no one will be satisfied with the

Paonia Peaches.

Writing from Delta county to the
Field and Farm, on the fruit prospects
on the North Fork, l. B. Cline says:
''Paonia felt the frost last April but in
spite of it more cars of fruit will be
shipped this year than any previous
one The Strawberries and cherries
are both harvested and the crop was
money maker There were not enough
of the former to supply the demand and
the out of town call for the cherries
was such that the local cannery was
unable to buy enough to fill more than
half its orders. With these conditions
it is needless to say that the prices
were very satisfactorily to the growers.
Apricots are ripe and the harvest is on.
Eastern buyers have offered as high as
$50 ton for this fruit which puts it
out of reach of our canning plant. The
year The commercial association
employed men last week to go over the
orchards contiguous to Paonia and make
conservative estimate of the peach
and apple crops. This has been tabu-
lated and it makes about 500 carloads
ST peaches and 400 cars of apples.
Much thinning of fruit has been done
and the quality of these two crops
promises to be better than usual. New
packing houses are being built and the
railroad is constructing extra siding in
anticipation of the rush of September
and October. might add that Paonia 5

cause not a smudge pot was used in

FRUIT GOING OUT
MONEY COMING IN
Delta County Harpests are Being
Gathered With Good Results.

Delta comfy stations are pretty
much all shipping fruit and have been
for some time. From the beginning of
the strawberry season and throughout,
much of the berry crop was shipped to
the mineral sections of Telluride, Ouray
and Lake. Cherries, apricots and
peaches have been going out by ex-
press by the ton. Next month car load
shipments of peaches will begin and
later on train loads of apples will fol-
low. Horticultural Superintendent
Richardson, of this county, declares
that he has not changed the figures of
his first estimate of 1,500 car loads of
fruit as this years shipping output for
Delta county, dividing that up as 400
cars of peaches and other stoned fruit
and 100 car loads of apples.

LAND VALUES ADVANCE
Future Scarsity Makes Continuous
Advancement Certain.

The advancement of land values for
years has been steady and uninter-
rupted. Even that which was thought
valueless and was bought on chance
by parties having little money, paying
for it five years ago at the rate of two
or three dollars per acre-some of it
even less-is now worth $40, SIS, $50
and S25 per acre. Land with soil known
to be good and productive has advanced
to be worth, $50, 500, $50 and 5000
per acre, while some of the bearing
fruit lands have been sold as high as
$1,000 and $4,000 per acre. And land
must continue to advance. There is
nothing to stop it. In short time
there will be no land except that which
is owned, and which must be bought or
traded for among individual owners.
while the number of people wan ting
land must always increase.

Fauored Fruit Sections.

Paonia. Hotchkiss, Cedaredge and
the broad Surface Creek country will
have the bulk of the fruit crop of Delta
county this season, while De'ta's terri
tory will lead in sugar beets and other
farm products. The sugar beet crop
never looked better. Grains and alfalfa
are good yield. The potato crop will
be much better than last year and the
vegetable crop and melons will be right
in line. Altogether Delta county will
have abundance of wealth coming in
from her various products and the
pocket books of the farmer, stockman
and fruit grower will be correspond
ingly plethoric.

Shop Mems Strike to End.

DENVER, Aug. 19. The strike
vote taken on all the Gould roads
has been completed and author

nounced here tonight, however,
that this will not be done at the

adjust in an amicable way the

Gould roads.

night:

President Schlacks leads him to
believe that satisfactory settle
ment of the strike may be eX-

strikes. He declares that the d.

tracts and it will be on these
that we will try to get together

Luxurious Grouing Crops.

If luxuriously growing crops and
vegetation count for anything, visitors
will not have to look far for proofs of
soil richness hereabouts. The volunteer
crop of oats which sprang from the
covering of the grass when the court
house park was seeded last spring, is
now almost high enough to obstruct
sight of the buildings, and if one
wanted to break into jailhe would have
to hunt around some before he could
locate the county bastile.

length. The sugar beet dump will be
supplied with dump scales on which the

The dove season is now open but so
far there has been but few out shoot

there are those who hardly regard the

of desire to kill them. the meat of the
dove is not nearly the equal of most
