The Larger Home of Della.

Every woman understands the value
of beauty in her own home and sur
rounds her family with objects of re-
finement for the uplift and endearment
of her loved ones.
The homes of Delta being examples
of excellent taste in their Punishment
and in careful attention to details.
Since women dominate the home with
SO much success, why would not her
womanly influence and the domestic
ideal be of value in municipal affairs;
why should her interest cease at her
own doorstep?
Why not desire to keep her children
environed by beauty in the very streets
of our city where in this delightful
climate they spend so large share of
their time.
Our home makers are constantly
planning for the future of their homes
saying "next year wish to remodel
this room after which l will put bay
window in here and an improvement
there" and so on until vision of an
ideal home rises up before them. Now
why not have a "Town Plan" as is
done in many cities of Germany. This
plan being a chart of the Delta of the
future as to its streets, parks, public
buildings etc, worked out with patient
skill adopted for the years to come and
on exhibition at the court house or hung
in the new post Office for public infor-
nation.
Instead of wishing we had parks and
clean, dustless streets,
slightly back yards, attractive vacant
lots, why not have them go to work
for civic beauty and civic safety. We
have large number of various womans
organizations in town such as the
Club. Rebekah, Eastern Star,
and others. If small part of the
force and energy centered in these

Sugar Factory Is Wanted

Delta's Business Interests.

Delta wants a sugar factory, needs n
sugar factory, offers the best field in
the West for such an enterprise.
The center of great sugar beet
growing territory, where there is al
ready practically enough beets pro-
duced each year to supply factory,
and which promises within few years
to much more than double its present
acreage, there is no good reason why
Delta should not have factory, or
why the present year should not wit
ness the beginning Of work on one.
With the completion Of the Gunnison
tunnel this fall. thousands of acres Of
good beet ground will be ready to plant

about 60, 900 tons of beets raised and

The beet fields extend from the bor-

is from Is to 80, and in some cases
even 40 tons per acre, while the sugar

Will eventually make it the richest and
most densely populated county in the

thousands of small farms. Here five,

Delta County Gets Investments.

There is much to ponder over in the
fact that while real estate investments
are absolutely at standstill in practi-
cally every other section of the state,
investments are being made every day
in Delta county. 1t proves beyond
question the superior merit of land in
this. the real garden spot Of the west.
Where the land is superior other ad-
vantages and opportunities are to be
found.

CATION

Trinidad, Colo, July Cone Of the
worst mine disasters in the history
of this district occurred this morning
at the coal camp of Tollville, near
here, when an explosion in the Cedar
Hill Coal & Coke company's mine
there, claimed the lives of nine men,
all foreigners with the exception of
Albert Noah, the cage tender, who
was an American.
The men were descending the main
shaft in the cage, when the explosion
occurred, it being caused by the open
lamps on the miners caps igniting an
accumulation of deadly gas. The
force of the explosion partially wreck
ed the shaft. and those not instantly
killed, were suffncated.
After heroic work by a party OF
reseuers who risked their lives to
save their comrades. all the bodies
were recovered They were horribly
mangled and blackened.

Greener was at once loaded into an
automobile and taken to his home on
the East side. where his wounds were
dressed bs a physician. While pain

no serious consequences attended the
big celebration. which ended at night
by a grand display of pyrotechnics
