Irrigation Congress-.
Should Hold Next Meeting on
Western Slope.

Efforts are on foot to induce the
Irrigation Congress to meet on the
Western Slope next year Grand JUNO
tion has taken the initiative in bidding
for the meeting. The INDEPENDENT
and all Western Slope people will favor
such a proposition, and while it is no
more than fair, it is also entirely ap-
propriate that the Congress should
hold meeting in the field where water
is king, where practical irrigation can
be viewed and where one of the largest
of the reclamation enterprises under
taken by tire government will by that
time probably be finished
Heretofore the meetings of the Con-
gress have been held mostly in the
larger cities, without regard to field.
1t is certainly proper and to great ad-
vantage for them to be held within
the fields which contain the interests
they represent and which are working
out the problems they wish to study
and encourage.
Delta should have taken up this mat
| ter of securing the Irrigation Congress
meeting, as the center of the largest
irrigated territory, and therefore the
most convenient for surrounding dist
ricts. Delta is also in easy distance of
I the Gunnison tunnel, and has in its en-
vironments the foundation and facili-
ties for more great and practical irri-
cation enterprises than any other point
/ in the West.

July 4th a Big Day.
Everybody Celebrated. All Fun
and No Fights at Delta.

July 4th passed pleasantly with the
people at Delta, as in all the other
towns of the county where there were
gatherings of the people.
The day was fiercely hot, but that
did not prevent the people from being
merry or feeling patriotic.
The program at Delta was carried
out in most satisfactory manner. All
enjoyed the list of sports and the
dances were well attended.
There was lots of noise and two fire
alarms, both the little blazes being
without harmful result. The first was
in the afternoon, a coal oil stove ex-
ploding in the rear of the new Stock
ham building where the ladies' of the
Nj. E. Church were disposing of re-
freshments. 1t made quite blaze and
frightened the ladies badly, but
was extinguished before the arrival of
the hose cart and left but little dark
color on the newly plastered brick
wall. The other alarm came at about
nine o'clock. evening. shed having
caught fire near the alley back of the
.Stockham block. The fire boys were
quickly on the scene and this to was
extinguished without harm.
The prizes were all hotly contested
for. There was good music by the Delta
band outside. while the orchestra s
supplied sweet strains for the closer
and inside gatherings.
The Jap sports drew a large and in
terested crowd. They were rendered
with zest all the afternoon, their quar-
tiers being elaborately decorated with
our national colors. At night they
sent up some very handsome pieces of
fire works.
There was a little outside booze
afoat but no disturbances. The crowd
was good as it is on practically all pub
lie occasions in Delta. The population
of the town and immediate country
surrounding, is now large enough to
always guarantee a respectable crowd
at Delta, and the people are quick to
respond to holiday call.
0lathe won the ball game between
Olathe and selected team at Delta.
The hose tests by Delta companies
Nos. and 2. was won by No. 2, making
the test 80 seconds and defeating No.
by 10 seconds On second run, granted
through the judges failing to agree or
result of first test.
The two-hundred yard foot race was
won by Ray Mathews, Leslie Conklir
being a close second.
The free-for-all 100 yard foot race
was won by Robert Wilcox.
We have failed to get a checking of
all the minor sports.

Pierson Home Burned.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w.
Pierson on California Mesa, two and n
half miles from Delta, burned on the
4th. consuming all their household
goods. The fire is supposed to have
caught from a defective fiue. Mrs.
Pierson was at home on the day, but
the roof was in flames when she dis
covered the fire and soon fell in, max
ing it impossible to remove anything
from the house. The Persons came
here last fall, buying the Berry ranch
on California Mesa. The house that
burned was of brick. Loss estimated
at a. 600

Brings Good Prices.

One of the things that must be es-
pecially gratifying and encouraging to
growers, is the high prices being OBJ
rained for small fruits. Through the
strawberry season s2.50 crate was
the lowest price sold for in Delta. At
the opening of the cherry season some
growers were trying to contract sales
at &c a pound. Now the season is well
along and the best of the fruit is bring
ing &c pound. Currants are bringing
81. 90 per crate. Young potatoes and
certain other vegetables are finding
good market at strong prices.

Forward, All the I ime

Step by step Delta is going forward
and this despite any bumps that may
have .been administered. All things
cannot be accomplished at once and it
is perhaps better so. OF the future,
however, these can be but little ques-
tion. Delta will become y city and
Delta county will become one of the
richest and greatest in Colorado or
the West. The future Of each has
more in store than could now be told or
even guessed.

Nature's S Power
Going to Waste

1t is too bad that the vast amount of
power up the Gunnison should be al
lowed to go to waste. In the canons
above Delta there is power enough to
run all the machinery mining and
every other kind-to light all of the
Western Slope, and to furnish all of its
motive power for all the railroads run
ming now or in future to be built
This great power source lies within
the reach of capital today, and capital
has been hunting such propositions of
late years all over the United States.
