Potato Train In March

The potato train which is TO make a
tour of the spud raising sections of
Colorado in March and April, is an idea
of Eugene Grubb, and has been planned
with the same careful purpose that has
characterized MIR. Grubb's successful
career.
The train is to be provided with the
latest improved machinery for cultivat-
ing potatoes and will be accompanied
by instructors from the Agricultural
College. In the more important dist
ricts short institutes will be held and
lectures illustrated by practical expert
ments' AT less important districts on
the trains route, short stops will be
made of a few hours, and all the infor-
nation possible dispensed.

Commissioner Notes.

County Commissioner Hogrefe has
been kept at home most of this week
on account of the illness and death of
his postmaster, Mr.. Baker.
Harry Mullnix, of Denver. expert
accountant, has been employed by the
county board of Delta to audit the
books of the different county officers.
The board of county commissioners
this week reappointed present County
Attorney A. R. King, Health Officer
DR.. Hick, Horticultural Inspector
Richardson, and all of the present road
overseers in the different county dis
tricts.
The matter of collecting salary pro-
vided for by new law, during term of
office, by former county officer or

First National Expands
Hold Annual Meeting---Increase
Surplus---Sell Control Of Stock
to Thatcher---Re-Elect Old
Officers.

The annual meeting for the election
of officers and directors of the First
National Bank of Delta, held Tuesday
of this week was an unusually impor-
tant one from a business standpoint.
At this meeting q 5 of the 500 shares
of the bank S capital stock were sold to
NJ. d. Thatcher, who is perhaps the
heaviest financier in Colorado. With
their central bank in Pueblo, where are
handled most of the money matters of
c. F. & |. Co., and the Smelter Co /,
the Tbatchers are gradually getting a
network of banks in the towns of the
state in order to be in possession of
good loaning fields for their immense
surplus capital. 1t is asserted that
they have sought entrance into Delta
county for some time past and that
they were willing to pay good prem
ium on First National stock in order to
get control. This makes the First
National, already one of the strong
banks of the state, at once one of the
strongest banking institutions of Colo
rado.
The officers elected were A. H.
Stockham, president; w. B. Stockham,
vice-president and w. G. Hillman,
cashier. This was a reelection of the
former officers. Directors elected were:
NJ. d. Thatcher, A. H. Stockham, W.
B. Stockham, Fred Blumberg, H. K.
Porter and Millard Fairlamb.
The banks surplus was increased
from So. 600 to $4,000.

Pictures Do Talk.

The Importance of picturing your
property cannot be over estimated. If
you have nice house or business build
ing, orchard or farm scene, have a
photograph taken of it and then have a
cut made to print from. The cut will
cost you about l0c square inch for
the engraving. The INDEPENDENT will
have the cut made for you, if you wish,
at exactly its cost, and afterwards will
run it in an issue of the paper with
proper caption and descriptive article
free of charge. This offer is made to
help advertise our home improvements
and home industries, and the co-opera-
uon of all is asked. The slight expense
of procuring cuts will be more than Off
set in the satisfaction it will bring to
owners and the publicity gained.

Uncle Josh Coming.

The richly prolific rural comedy-dra-
ma, Uncle Josh Perkins, is down for
return visit to Delta on Tuesday,
January 2lst. The play of which
"Uncle JOSH is the central figure,
possesses merit of the real sort and at
times is roundly melodramatic and
strenuous, and teaches good, whole
some lesson all the way through the
for acts The atmosphere of both
farm and city life saturates the play.
connected by pretty tinge of romance,
coupled with brusque masculine sympa-
thy and natural country attractiveness.
Its primitiveness is of the fields and is
as free from impurity as the crystal
springs, while the characters used to
typify the city folks are interesting and
far removed from the ones usually
worked in by the dramatist to bolster
up melodrama. The character of
"Uncle Josh" is one that the auditor
never grows weary of, in its repetition
is full of ruggedness, honesty and
sincerity and at times quite picturesque,
combined with that native Yankee
shrewdness and simplicity. so charac-
teristic of the New England farmer.
Uncle Josh" will continue to live and
amuse long after some of the later day
stage characters have been forgotten.
The play has been given a complete
new scenic equipment for coming tour
many novelties in the way of stage
mechanism and light effects are brought
into requisitlon. High-class and high
priced specialties, by artists engaged
specially for their fitness to furnish
numbers which harmonize with the
play, are introduced from time to time
through the various acts. Taken all in
all, it can safely be said that the visit
of "Uncle Josh Perkins" to Delta
will be taken full advantage of by our
playgoers and bumper house will
doubtless greet him and his clever band
of entertainers.

Aggie Short Course.

The Agricultural Short Course is pro-
crossing nicely in Delta this week.
The number taking the course is not
SO large as was hoped and expected,
which perhaps is due to general condi-
tions, but the class is a very respect
able one and the instructions are high
grade in value and interest
The lectures Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings We're well atten-
ded and heartily received. That of
President Aylesworth Monday night,
on the subject: Opportunity, was a
splendid discourse, full of good points
of argument well sustained. DIR. Ayles-
worth pointed out the falicy of the false
impression that opportunity knocked
but once at any mans door and i'm
pressed the truth that opportunity is
constantly calling.
President Stone, of the State Forest
ry Association, illustrated his lecture
Tuesday evening with fine views, pre-
senting logical argument and creating
healthy impressions.
Wednesday night Lieutenant Govern
or Harper held his audience in wrapt
interest on general discussion of Col
orado, the greatness of the State and
the marvellous possibilities of its re-
sources. Governor Harper has a warm
feeling for the Western Slope, where,
he maintains, ''even the optimistic can
not picture the future possibilities of
this wonderful little Empire. -

when the .mbers of the Business
Mems Association met at Odd Fellow s
hall to jolly the College Professors and

"UncIe Josh Perkins" I"

''Uncle Josh Perkins," the great
comedy success, is down for an engage
ment of one night at Sanders Opera
House on January 2lst. The play is
built on original lines and is said to be
presented by brilliant company. who
make the most possible out of every
type of character enacted. While built
largely for laughing purposes there is
enough pathos, human interest and
thrilling situations unfolded to suit all
classes of men, women and children
too. The Forthcoming engagement of
this company will doubtless attract
unusual attention from the playgoers
of Delta.

TWO DEFEATS
HANDED TURNER'S
BY |R0NS|DES
Nationals Bested in Double
Header in Presence of
10000 People.

Two defeats In one day before a
crowd of 10000 persons was what the
National Turner's had to be contented
with yesterday in a double header with
the Ironside A. c.
The first game, which was won by
the score of 2 to 1, was well played
and exciting at all times. Knoth. who
pitched this game, was very effective,
having eleven strikeouts and allowing
only three scattered hits.
Boshen, who pitched for the Turner's,
put them over the plate n good shape.
having seven strike-outs. Schroeder. the
Ironsides' shortstop. performed in great
style, getting three hits out Of four
times at the bat, and played short
without ar error.
The afternoon affair resulted In a
score of s to 4. This game was fea-
tured by a home-run drive by Mench-
ner, the Ironsides' hard-hitting second
baseman. Haver, who pitched for the
Nationals. was slammed in all direc-
lions, and had to be taken out In the
fourth inning. These games were the
first of a series of five games. }

has won, and let him appear in public
several years later, after being IN
crowned, and the fight fans will yell
themselves hoarse with their salvos
and cheers. He Is not jeered and told
to beat it, because he fell down once.
No, that thing belongs to the baseball
fanatic and I am glad that this feeling
doesn't permeate the entire sporting
world.
A Cnse at Point.
Did you read anything of the exhibit
ton thing they held over In the Big
City the other night for the benefit of
the Mothers Rest" where among the
talent was Peter Maher and Kid Nc
Coy? To be sure 1t was only a friendly
bout, but then the kid" foxy as a
hare in hunting time, just leaned one
over IN the venerable Peter and the
latter was put to sleep. What did the
crowd do there? 1t simply let loose
sue a cheer as to shake the supports
In the nearby subway. And when
Peter came to, did the crowd yell Take
him Off" OF course it didn't. 1t simply
cheered Peter and shouted words of
kindness to him and reminded him that
he was all right. Had Peter been an
Engle and struck out with three men
on bases he would have been a "slob,'
mo good" and goodness only knows
what not.
One Thing to DO.
This evil which l speak Of today will
! never be e~radicated from the baseball
game, but it can be lessened. Every
bodv who attends a ba game is
not crazy. You know that. When you
and l are sitting next to some of these
hammer-throwers and a good player
makes a mistake and the hammers start
working, just let you and 1 turn around
and ask these fellows where they are
at. They will tumble in a minute. and,
although they will try to give you an
argument, they cannot go far, because
they have the bull by the wrong end
Instead of the horns, they have the tail
