There is doubt that the government paid
$4,000 600 for the property. But who got
the money We are not to know. The ad-

DIR. l.. B. Gray. wife and son were
visiting the Dixon's and looking over
lower Surface Creek. The DR.. was
much taken with the country. He may
buy and later locate permanently on a
plot of this incompatible orchard land.
The caucus held last Saturday, we
take it, expressed the will of the peo-
Pile. But it was hippodrome affair.
All agree that the best safeguard is
the primary. Why should Delta coun-
ty wait for a statewide primary
when it can be applied and tried
in nominating county officers. The
politicians will oppose it because it
puts the control out of their hands.
The people must propose and force its
trial. 1t will never come from within
the inner circle.

Reunion of Wylie Family.
&c. G. States in Crawford Chronicle.l

&c. G States in Crawford ChronicleD
Nearly twenty years ago, on the old
farm in Gosper county, Nebraska, at
the time their eldest son was married,
the Wiley family were all together for
the last time until they had their re-
union this week.
One by one they began to scatter and
establish homes for themselves. One
is now located at College View, near
Lincoln, Nebr., one at Boulder and an
other at Montrose, Colo, while all the
remaining seven children have homes
in different parts of Delta County.
1t is not an easy task to assemble all
the members of such large family,
and fears were entertained that the
present attempt would be a failure.
By postponing it for one day the miss
ing son, Fred, arrived from Paonia just
in time to take his place in the picture
of the family group, and to fill the
empty seat at the table, just as 1t was
twenty years ago.
A short time previous their youngest
to catch something for the occasion.
He returned with l26 fine mounta in
trout. Other trout from nearby
stream brought the total number of
fish to 1856. Mrs. States, of Cedaredge
furnished a twenty-five pound fruit
cake covered with coating as white
as snow with the names of father,
mother and all the children printed on
it with red cake coloring. This they
mad besides turkey, chicken, and ice
cream in abundance, and other neces-
sary eatables too numerous to mention.
The evening was spent in very in
teresting manner. Members of the
family gathered around the organ and
sang the old hymns they used to sing
so many years ago. Old selections in
Dutch and Irish dialect were spoken,
Scotch songs were rendered such as
Burns and his Highland Mary
Scotch Black ksmith." etc. The father
took the old fiddle and brought forth
music from eye Olden Times" Now
and then a few selections from the
phonograph would bring US all back to
the year 1908.
There were nearly forty relatives
present. The unanimous opinion pre-
vailed that the occasion was grand
success.

Pains Fireworks at tbe Mesa
Counfu Fair.

For the first time in the history of
Western Colorado, the people will be
given the opportunity of witnessing the
unsurpassed pyrotechnical displays and
fireworks creations of Henry j. Pain,
whose.name in the pyrotechnical world
stands alone. The Mesa County Fair
has fortunately secured the services of
the Pain Pyrotechnic Company of New
York and Chicago, and ..under the
supervision of experts three grand dis
plays will be given at the Fair Ground
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
evenings of Fair week.
If it were not for the appearance of
this world wide pyrotechnical firm at
Denver, prior to Mesa county Fair and
Salt Lake following the celebration in
Mesa county, this feature of the pro-
gram could not be offered to the pub
lie. BY forming a circuit of dates
Grand Junction is in the procession and
this year has no competition, for this
reason the Pain people were secured.
The program to be given at the Mesa
County Fair will consist of 38 numbers
nightly with mammoth likenesses in
fireworks of Washington, Taft and
Bryan, and devices, set pieces and
creations in fireworks that will startle
the people who witness the grand dis
plays. Then there will be the repro
duction Of the historical battle between
the Monitor and Merrimac with all the
sound OF canon and the final explosion
of the battleship. An arrangement has
also been made to put on Niagara Falls

Denuer Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS, Sept.
3-Local cattle prices closed firm to
higher last week and the market in
nice shape even though eastern mar
kets were lower and rather dull. Good
beef steers are strong to dime higher r.
good fat cows are 5 to zoe higher while
good feeders are up about a dime. The
supply of beef steers was fair but
quality nothing choice. Most of the
fair to good western range steers
offered sold at S38 to S4 05 with few
loads of heavier steers at s4.15. Right
choice steers, however, would have
brought up to $3.50 and even higher.
A bunc of spayed heifers from western
Colorado sold at So. 80 and most of the
good range cows brought $500 to 1895
but choice cows would have brought
more money. Bulls were active and
firm under good demand. Veal calves
a little higher with tops for the week
at $500. Feeder and stocker dema nd
was very good and the market active
to the extent of the supply. Offerings
however, were limited. Good to choice
steers ars selling at $3.50 to $500 and
on up. The fair to good grades and
light steers are quotable at $500 to
49, so and common kinds from $500
down. Offerings today were 500.
Market steady to strong.
The hog supply was very fair during
the week and under strong demand
prices were very satisfactory. The
market advanced about 15c for the
week, offerings today selling at a range
of S6.571a to $6.70.
The sheep trade was very good and
prices fully in line with the eastern
markets. The local demand is good.
Inquiry for feeding stuff is beginning to
come in and Indications point to good
business here in this line during the
next few months.

Another Pioneer Passes Awav.

With the death of Jonathan Weir,
which occurred at Eckert last Friday
morning, this county loses another of
it's old and true pioneers to whom the
present generation owe so much. In
1882 Mr.. Weir and family came into
the Surface Creek country and located
on upper Surface Creek, where they
remained a couple of years and then
came down to the valley and took up
ranch about two miles north of Eckert
upon which they lived until after Mrs.
Weir's death some four years ago,
when Mr.. Weir and his daughter moved
to a small place near Eckert.
Deceased was born September 2, 1927,
in Orange Co., Indiana, was married
at the age of 26. Seven children blessed
the union, six are still living, four of
whom reside in this valley. They are:
Bert Weir, Mrs. H. B. Cook, Mrs. VIM.
Forest and Miss Ella Weir.
Funeral services were held Monday
morning conducted by Rev. A. S. Hill
of Austin and the remains laid to rest
beside those of beloved wife and
mother.
The relatives have the sympathy of
the entire valley in their sad bereave-
ment. Surface Creek Champion.
