l think a fair minded man would
see that there is no balance on
the profit side of the account, to
say nothing of the misery
and poverty directly resultant
from the saloon and the great
loss from idleness encouraged by
the saloon: to say nothing of the
agony imposed upon the helpless
wife and children of the drunk
ard. In this connection l would
say that we have only had one
murder committed in our town in
the last twelve years.
We in Delta-almost to a man
have seen sufficient of this
profit and loss side of the ques-
ton so that we no longer wish to
consider the side of the saloon,
and in our town politics there is
no party that will champion the
cause of the saloon, our only
division in town politics along
lines of the persons to whom the
directing of town affairs shall be
entruted, and if every one in
Delta, as is practically the case,
is satisfied with the condition of
town affairs, we trust the editor
of the Western Empire will not
put in any sleepless nights on our
account.
Montrose, has so far, out
distanced Delta in growth and
population, and we rejoice with
out any shadow of envy in the
prosperity of our sister town and
hope that the same favorable
conditions which have enabled
her to lead will be maintained
and win her further progress.
We believe that the intelligence
and good citizenship of the peo-
pie of Montrose will not allow
them to lag behind in the mat
ter of moral progress.
Yours very respectfully,
MILLARD FAIRLAMB.

"MILLARD FAIRLAMB TALKS"
"MILLARD FAIRLAMB TALKS"
From The Western Empire.

published a certain article pur-
porting to be a comparison of
finances between the Town of
Delta and the City of Montrose,
which in many respects does a
great injustice to Delta, and for
the purpose of making a complete
explanation in regard to the mat
ter, the undersigned has been
requested to furnish this state
ment for publication.
In gross Indebtedness, as we
understand it, the City of Mont
rose has outstanding $40, 900 in
bonds, less cash on hand $16,-
S41. 16, making a net indebted
ness of $123, 159. .95. The town
of Delta has bonded indebted
ness of $105, 900, plus registered
warrants, $33, 63S. less cash
treasury, $2,630.26, making a
net Indebtedness of S136, 00S, AZ.
So that it can be seen that the
two cities are not very far apart
in actual indebtedness, although
the difference lies in favor of
Montrose.
The indebtedness of registered
warrants outstanding the town
of Delta arose through the pro-
gressive policy which Delta
adopted of building cement side
walks, sewers, extension of the
water works system, and the
addition of new springs and
streams to our mountain system,
and the laying of several miles
of new water mains.
During the last eighteen
months Delta has installed more
than eight miles of good cement
walks, and street and alley
crossings, for which the town
has paid, and which constitutes
part of the S33, 638.68 indebted
ness evidenced by warrants, has
amounted to $1,000. During the
last twelve months we have paid
out for iron pipe $1,000.
Fifteen months ago the eastern
part of our town was cut off from
the main part by drainage
ditch six to twelve feet in depth.
We have placed a line of "a inch
cement drainage tile in the bot
tom of this ditch and filled it in
at total cost of over $5, 900.
The work done in adding numer-
GUS mountain springs to our
water supply and in installing
water mains in our city, outside
of the cost of material, aggre-
gates over So, 900. These expen-
ditures seemed to our Board of
Trustees necessary and we did
not see how we could get along
without them. Previously the
water supply was insufficient
the town had miserable wooden
walks-and the other improve
ments were absolutely essential
to the growth of the place, so
that we deemed it would be
better instead of making a tax
levy at once to cover the entire
amount wished to apportion these
public Improvements over the
period of three or four years.
The annual income of Delta
from all sources is in excess of
$50, 900 and we will not need to
increase our present tax levy of
'25 mills on the dollar in order to
bring Delta to a cash basis with
in several years, and as long as
our own banks and local capital
lists are glad to take our warran is
at 2 per cent discount, we think
there is nothing frightful about
the fact that our town warrants
are ten months behind in the
order of payment.
On the other hand we have at
the present time over eight miles
of sewers, with tile drains laid
rpdarpaotb baviJac tho lorora Od

six or eight houses between the
big ditch and the mesa. Within
the last twelve months over sixty
houses have been built in that
part of the town site and more
are being contracted as rapidly
as our carpenters and brick
layers can put them up.
Now, while it is none of my
business to make a suggestion, l
would say, as an outsider, that
if Montrose developes it's public
improvements in the same pro-
portion that Delta has, the finan-
cial statement of the two towns
will show a balance in favor of
Delta. And if in the financial
statement of the. two places the
cost to the cities of the public
improvements made out of the
city funds and the values of said
improvements were taken into
consideration, l believe that our
showing would compare very
favorably with that of Montrose.
The question as to whether or
not a municipality should antici-
pate its revenues is simply a
question of policy, and my per-
sonal opinion, as well as that of
nearly every one in Delta, is
that at this stage of the growth
of out town, when the certainty
of great increase in population
is before us, that money wisely
expended upon public improve
ments will make magnificent
returns in our civic development.
Now for the other side of the
question: The writer of the
article in the Western EN- pire
either ignorantly or willfully
made gross mis-statement in
stating that Delta has not done
away with the sale of liquor.
So near as we can trace, by
the most careful investigation,
less than a gallon of liquor
reaches Delta each day, average
ing the year round and as far as
the ease of obtaining it in Delta
is concerned, the writer will
make an offer of $50 for each
person against whom the editor
of the Western Empire can fur
nish testimony that illicit sales
of liquors have been made in our
city, or within one mile of it's
outer boundaries, and he does
not need to swear to any COM
plants nor have his name known
in the matter but need only to
furnish me with list of names
of persons whom he believes are
obtaining intoxicants, and | will
do the rest. AS a matter of fact l
do not believe that there is on an
average a quart of whiskey illc-
lily sold per diem in our town.
AS far as the question of pro-
hibition or license is concerned,
l have no right to offer advice
to the citizens of Montrose, and
it is not my intention to do SO.
With more than two-third of the
territory of the United States
under prohibition, either by
virtue of state laws or under local
option laws, l need not point to
Delta as the only prohibition
town. Throughout our state
there are large number of much
larger cities than either Mont
rose or Delta that find it is good
policy to prohibit absolutely the
sale of intoxicants as bever-
age. The experience of the
United States has been that
while the municipality makes
money from the granting of
licenses, the county suffers by
reason of having to pay more
money for the prosecution of
crimes rising directly from the
open saloons than the municipal

PITFALLS OF ENGLISH.
Our PuzzIing Language and lie Words
of More Than One Meaning.

or all modern languages English Is
undoubtedly the most difficult to ac-
quire. In addition to the ordinary
pitfalls Of forms and idioms that en-
trap the foreigner struggling for mas
terry Of a strange tongue, there Is one
so peculiar TO ours that nothing even
remotely similar presents itself In any
other language, whether ancient or
modern.
This Is the paradoxlcal word, the
word which has two meanings dlamet-
rically opposed TO each other. 1t Is
not enough that, with all the wealth
Of words borrowed from half score
Of other languages. we must impose a
double and often a multiple burden on
some poor little monosyllabic word
like "get," for instance, whose mean
ings are legion. Our language must
needs confound the student at the
gates with the paradox. To give a
few examples:
The word "let" means TO "allow"
or permit" and likewise TO pre-
vent" "hinder" or refuse" meanings
Numerically opposite. 81 will let you
do Il" I'm the former sense is hardly
more common In use than the phrase
without let or hindrance," and
Shakespeare has 1t, "By heaven, I'll
make ghost OF him that lets pre-
vents mev'
"Cleave" means 10 split asunder as
well as 10 adhere" or blind" closely.
Scott makes Marmion threaten TO
"cleave the Douglas head" while
holy writ enjoins upon the husband to
"cleave unto his wife"
Another example is "lurid," which
means both n "dull red" and also
"pale green" hue, tlnts that are exact
~ opposed In the scale OF color. While
the former Is the more common mean
Ing, the latter is more scholarly cor

meaning "greenlsh hued."

SOUND WAVES.
The Way They Are DETECTED by At
mospheric Causes.

One Of Uncle Sans scientists at
Washington gives an interesting ex-
planation of the action Of the wind In
preventing the spread Of sound toward
the direction from which the wind
comes.
It is, he claims, not the wind, as
such, that prevents sound from trav-
cling against It, but differences In the
strength OF the wind. If, for instance,
the wind Is stronger above than be-
low or stronger at one side, Its effect
will be to tilt the sound waves In one
direction or another.
Differences OF temperature In the air
also cause detection of the waves or
sound. Other atmospheric causes ex-
list which defect sound from q straight
course and prevent ii from going as
far in certain directions as 1t may
have been expected to go.
Some OF the sirens In this country,
says the scientist, produce sounds
which ought theoretically to be audible
at n distance OF 1,500 miles, but, In
fact, the authorities are satisfied II
they are heard only two miles away.
The reason for the discrepancy be-
tween calculation and experiment was
probably atmospheric detection OF the
d.-Minneapolls Journal.
