construction and improvement OF IN
land waterways.
THE congress-" said Mr.. Rosenberg
fathers no particular project, but ad-
vocates the adoption by the govern
ment of a comprehensive policy OF
waterway improvement throughout the
country
1t is the intention TO form perma-
nent organization in each state from
the unattached waterway bodies. com
bining them in one homogeneous or
ganiZation. Indiana will be the first
state to bring together these units.
The members of the Indiana branch
will devote their utmost endeavors to
secure the improvement of the Ohio
river, deepening its channel to an aver
age depth of nine feet all the way from
Pittsburg. Pa. to Cairo. Ill, so as to
accommodate deep draft boats. The
Ohio river borders the State of Indiana
for :}225 miles and the deepening of the
channel will mean much to this state.

RAILROAD RUMBLlNGS
Whenn Rumored Changes May
Be Important to Della.

The air is becoming moderately full
of rumors of railroad changes.
One tells of broad-guageing the
narrow gauge; one is to the effect that
a new line will be built by the d. & X.
G. from Salida across, using better
pass than Marshall and putting Delta
on the main line through to Salt Lake
City. Still another plans the building
of a short line from Dotsero or some
other convenient point to the Moffat
road in the vicinity of Hot Sulphur
Springs, and the securing of the use of
that road into Denver, making saving
of three to four hours on the trip to
Denver.
All of these rumors are of course
largely guess work. One of the things
which should be done and which is as
likely to be done as any other, is the
extending of the Somerset branch to
make short cut connections through to
Denver.
To guess that such a thing will be
done is easy, for part of the line Is
already built and in operation. and the
d. & r. G., like other railroad COM
panies is quick to protect its territory
from the entrance of other companies.
Besides there is all the advantages of
coal. fruit, stock and other shipments
from a big territory which the exten-
sion of that line would open up and
develop. to be looked after. 1t is pretty
safe to say that, If the Gould interests
succeeded in securing the Moffat road,
the Somerset branch win form con-
nection with it. giving Delta county a
short line service to Denver. That
many other changes will be made, all
of them Of advantage to Delta, is
equally probable.

The Paper and the Public.

We find these gems on the News
paper in our neighbor, the Criterion:
Conducting a newspaper nowadays is
a business and is conducted on business
principles. The time, happily, has
gone by when the local newspaper was
regarded by business men as burden
and when the subscribers took it Just
to help the editor out. - Those were
the good old days when the subscriber
paid in garden truck, farm produce and
cord wood, when the boss" gave the
help" orders on the store of the
merchant who carried double half
column ad., and when the patent
insides" arrived with anfeeling -er-
we mean unfailing regularity at the
local depot marked &c. o. D." on the
wrapper.
It's different now. Business men
know that advertising is necessary to
get the full returns in profits compatible
with the capital invested. The reading
public has come to realize the fact that
when they pay a dollar and half or
two dollars year for a local newspaper
they are getting value received and
are by no means comforting charity.
Newspaper men of today conduct their
publications as business enterprises.
pay their bills and demand payment 1or
their services in turn.
Yet there is no other business which
gives so freely. The greatest service
the local newspaper renders. and which
no arithmetician can reduce to dollars
and cents, is in boosting for its home
town and the adjacent country. Many
times in the course of the year the
publisher devotes his space and time to
working for prospective enterprises for
the upbuilding of the town. This has
come to be looked upon as a mere mat
ter of course. But the newspaper
boosts the year around and seldom
receives or expects to receive any
thanks for the time and money expended
in this direction. and is lucky if it
escapes censure. Added to this, the
party organ devotes untold columns to
the boosting of candidates in campaign
years. and the editor is generally for
gotten when the political pie is cut and
passed around after election day
