and labor, but IN increase of produc-
ton a crowded the markets to such
an extent thai only choice 'Ioupes have
paid the growers.
Large production and low prices
affect only the producer, for the rail-
roads and express companies always
reap their profits and the dealers their
commissions. Most Of the crop is con-
signed to commission markets in the
North. Occasionally solicitors buy
the cantaloupes on board the ars, and
until this is the rule and not the ex-
ception the results will continue to be
in doubt. The same rule applies to
the truck crops as to the cotton crop;
an OVer-prOduction causes lower prlc-
es, with the disadvantage in the case
of a 'loupe of a short season and a
perishable produce"
The 'loupe crOp is followed by peas
and this with the native grass, yields
a large crop of hay, which is prof1ta-
BILE and leaves the land in good condl
ton to be followed by either cotton or
corn.
There are many Instances one may
hear, of enormous profits in loupes.
Some growers net more than $3.50 per
acre.

When an inspector desires a certain
bunch of sheep to be dipped, he does
not go to the owner, but to the chief of
the tribe. In case of widespread con-
tagion a council Of chiefs is called. be-
fore which the agent of the govern
ment appears and presents his demands.
When the chief of tribe is made to
see the necessity for dipping he orders
the owner so to do and there is very
little trouble from this source. AS is
the general custom among Indians of
all tribes the squaws do the work.

try was not then settled as at present,
and the prospects for business did not
then warrant construction as they now
do.
1t is stated on good authority that
the officials making the investigation
said that the line would undoubtedly
be built, and work will probably be
started in the near future.
The people of the North Fork coun-
try are enthusiastic in boosting the en-
terprise, and the people of Delta should
leave no stone unturned to bring the
line into Delta at the earliest possible
date. In the event of building the cut
off from Somerset to Buena Vista, il
would cut the distance from Delta to
Denver in half. The road would mean

ROAD TO BE BUILT
Good Prospects for Line From
Baldwin to Paonia. Thence
to Delta. by c. & S.

After long continued and oft repeated
efforts on the part of the 1NDEPEND-
ENT, its suggestions are to be adopted
at last, and railroad is to be built as
previously mapped out in this paper.
Officials of the Colorado and Southern
spent several days between Baldwin
and Paonia last week, looking over the
right of-way and investigating freight
possibilities with the view of extending
the road from Baldwin to Paonia,
and then paralleling the D. & r. e..
into Delta.
The work of extending the line from
Baldwin, its present terminus, to Pao-
MIA would involve no difficult con-
struction and no great expense. 1t
would mean merely gentle swing of
about 40 miles around the level Anthra-
cite valley into Paonia, while from
Paonia to Delta the work would
merely duplicate the line of the D. &
R. G., and it is possible that arrange
ments might be made to run trains
over the same track into Delta, when
it is seen that the C. & S. will other
wise build to this place. This plan
would bring trains of the c. g. S. into
Delta in few months.
1t is somewhat surprising to learn
that the c. G. S. already has some ten
miles of the proposed right-of-way Sc
cured and graded, this work having

We the undersigned, directors of the

from Appleton to Cedaredge.
The arrangements have now been
fully made, with reliable parties, to
grade, construct and build the said rail-
road; and the said parties are ready to
commence operations as soon as We
give them authority TO proceed.
We are now ready to have these
parties proceed with the construction
of the said road. provided the follow
ing conditions are complied with on
the part of the citizens and land own
ers of the Surface Creek Mesa:
First-That an extension of the time
until July l. 1910. And this is is re-
quested for the reason that the con-
tractor will not undertake to complete
the said road before that date.
Second-That we can secure the
Rights of Way on one of the proposed
surveyed routes at reasonable price.
Third-That the balance of the bonus,
to make up the $50, 900 be rrised; that
the amount to be raised at this date is
about Sll, 900.
That when these conditions are COM
piled with. work will commence on the
said road within ten days.
