opened a blacksmith shop which
he run Tor something over a year.
During his residence he made he
acquaintance OF nearly all the
people IN the valley and It can b.
truthfully said that he never made
an enemy. He was the most
even tempered and generally all
round good citizen whom it has
been our lot to meet.
He leaves a wife and three

Booster was the next gentleman
to respond. and after gracefully
ackno~ Lodging that newspaper

details OF advertising from a

The local press was eulogized for
its good work and no factor OF II
was LETT out Mr.. Oliver went
into the question OF coal lands
and aired the opinion that the
famous North Fork valley would
still be without a railroad were it
not for this wonderful natural
resource.
II. J. Baird. secretary of the
Delta Business Mems Association,
was introduced by the host as the
secretary of the Business Mems
Association OF Hotchkiss Junction
and Mr.. Baird proceeded a,
length to demonstrate the good
work of his home organization.
and suggested that Hotchkiss
proper should take pattern after
"Hotchkiss Junction" in the
building of cement side walks.
good sewerage systems and es-
tablishing electric lights. What
ever may be said of Mr. Baird's
remarks there was one thing in
which the listener could not be
mistaken, namely, that Delta is
the hub of Delta county's pros
perity. He explained how
through the efforts of the Delta
Business Mems Association, the
completion of the Gunni-
son tunne, was assured for the
year 1909. Mr.. Baird detailed
the extensive improvements of
the town of Delta during the last
year or two and gave the credit
to the Business Mems Association.
He said I'VE have a few knockers

precede Mr.. Ruddick in banquet
responses hereafter. Mr.. Rud-
dick stated that it was his opin-
ion that the higher up you GO the
nearer heaven you will be. and
gave everyone to understand that
he lived on mesa above Paonia.
Z. Mathews. mayor-elect, OF
the town OF Paonia. went into the
question of canning factories and
it was plain from his remarks
that ordinarily from now on there
will be plenty of unsuitable fruit
to run half dozen factories in
Delta County. He stated that
Delta county's canned goods
we're well known the world over
and that no finer goods have ever
been produced.
Harry Johnson. OF Hotchkiss.
was the next to explode on what
Hotehkiss proper. proposes to do
within the next two years. This
he did very admirably and If his
ideas prevail it will keep Hotch-
kiss Junction on the rustic to re-
main in the lead IN regard to
public Improvements.
The last of the guests to re-
spond was DIR. Aylesworth. pres
ident of the State Agricultural
College. DR. Aylesworth gave
good advice TO the farmer in order
that he may advance with the
country. urged the necessity of
thorough organization through
out the country and especially
compllmented the real estate men
of Paul Wilson's calibre tor the
good they have done. DIR. Ayles-
worth is of the opinion that he
may become a citizen of the
North Fork valley.
Paul Wilson thanked the ban
queters for their kind attention
and enthusiastic support and the
meeting came to a close by every
one rising and joining in the old

and the first one called upon was
Hon. M. ID. Vincent who seemed
very happy in his response. con
fining his remarks to nothing in

thing in his logical way as he
usually does. The more serious
remarks from Mr.. Vincent we're
