The prophecy OF Mother Shipton 10
almost forgotten except by antiquar-
ians. 1t was first published in 144S
and republished in 1851. The greater
part of it has already been fulfilled.
The words Of the prophecy follow:
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill tie world with
woe.
Around the world thoughts shall
fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
Water shall more wonders do;
Now strange shall yet be true
The world upside down shall be,
And gold found at the rootof tree.
Through hills man shall ride
And no horse or ass be at his side.
Under water man shall walk;
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen.
In white in black and green.
Iron in the water shall float
AS easy as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found and shown
In land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do;
England shall at last admit Jew.
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty

Gold Nights Hinder Floods.

Cold nights during part of this week
have kept the river from rising at the
rate it otherwise would, and in the
meantime oceans of water have been
rolling down its widened. swiftly flow
ing current, lessening somewhat the
danger of an overflow. Most of the
surplus water so far has been from the
foothill Grand Mesa snow, and there is
little question but that there will be
grounds for apprehension from high
water for the next month.
The Delta independent., 1909-05-14
High Water Expected.

High water in the Gunnison is ex-
pected for the next three or four
weeks. the highest perhaps being about
the last of this month or during the
first ten days in June, to be determined
by prevailing climatic conditions. Be
cause of the unusual amount of snow
on the mountains there is more or less
uneasiness among farmers and residents
of the river bottom land, but it is hoped
that only minimum amount of damage
may result from the swollen stream.

A WOMAN OF BUSINESS Your corre-
spondent recently visited Mrs. Viola
Widney's ranch and was surprised at
the wonderful improvements she is
making this year.
She has just finished setting out one
thousand very choice commercial ap-
Piles which are being irrigated and. are
doing nicely.
She is putting in five inch pipe
which runs two thousand feet, which is
nearly completed and which will siphon
water to irrigate thirty acres more
than has been under cultivation.
This pipe will raise the water twenty
five feet, which in case of fire could be
thrown TO the top of her fine residence
with a good force.
She has thirty acres of commercial
apples and the buds are just beginning
TO swell which assures a very heavy
crop. There is a good assortment of
the soft fruits and all are heavy loaded.
The orchard is on the northeast slope,
which is ideal for fruit, as the buds are
from a week to ten days later than on
the adjoining ranches. The snow is
two weeks later going off in the spring,
thus saving the trouble and expense of
smudging as the fruit does not bloom
out until the late freezes are past.
This is May 18th. and the apples will
not be in full bloom for two weeks or
more. when all predicted freezes are
over
There is a fine view of the lower
Surface Creek country. There are
forty acres in alfalfa and she is going
to erect a hay barn of one hundred ton
capacity which will be great saving.
This is a matter which has been much
neglected in this country. but with.hay
at the present prices it is one that
every ranchman does well to consider,
not only for the saving of the hay but
for convenience of feeding.
She is also erecting storage build
ing of sufficient capacity for three
thousand boxes of apples. which will be
an important considerationsin.the rush
of marketing the fruit,
She has developed fifteen feet of coal
of the very best quality. which shows
that her whole one hundred and twenty
acres is underlain with this valuable
product.
She is building road from her house
southeast by the Coop mine, thus
making an easy grade to the main. road
to Cedaredge.
When all these improvements are
complet.d d, this will be one of the many
ideal ranches around Cedaredge.
1t will certainly be very profitable
ranch, not only for fruit and hay but
the amount of coal already developed,
and many more feet known to be under
this. will give winter work, thus being
profitable the year around.
With the completion of the assured
railroad for transporting the crops and
the coal, people in this belt certainly
are very highly favored.
On account of the predicted freezes
the fruit raisers below have been haul
ing coal to smudge. which has made a
heavy call for coal and the Coop mine
has been running to its highest ca
pacity and has had to hire additional
help.
The small streams are now looking
like rivers and the gulches which are
dry in the summer are rushing down
lot of water.
