The letter from IA Delta Booster"
printed on our editorial page the
other day, was one of the things the
News likes to get and TO print 1t
is splendid setting forth of the
possibilities on a single Colorado
county, and of the commercial flu
ture of the little city from which it
was mailed to us. We know the esti-
mates of the fruit crop over there
have been twice revised. and revised
upward since the end of danger from
spring frosts. We hope Delta will
ship every box with which her en-
thusiastic son credits her, There is
market for all of them.
But the fruit crop of this year
brings some problems rather clearly
to light. II will take something be-
tween 5000 and 10000 ears to
! handle this years output of the or
chards of the Western slope The
railroads have been making elaborate
preparations and will handle the out
put with comparatively little trouble
The traffic managers say that nom
| perishable freight will have to take
its chance for a while--perhaps for
| thirty days-but that the fruit crop
will be cared for. The News has had
occasion to make many complaints
against American railroads, but sell
dom, indeed, complaint against
their efficiency. We believe even the
present bumper crop will be cared
for.
But what will ii be when the land
now being planted TO orchards, and
soon to be planted, comes into bear
ing? There will probably be 10000
acres of new orchards planted in the
Uncompahgre valley within three
years. There will probably be rather
\ more than that number of acres
planted in the Grand valley in the
same time. Ultimately. when all the
bitches are through and all the or
chard lands in bearing. the fruit of
the Western slope will be not less
than 100000 carloads per year-it
Will more likely be 100000 carloads.
And that. We submit. is more than
can possibly be got out of the West
ern slope during the time now de-
voted to the fruit crop
The remedy is pretty plain. There
must be cold storage warehouses
built in all the large towns of the
fruitgrowing section. Mr.. W. r.
Halnes has worked out the plans for
such a storage plant at Grand juno
uon, and We have no doubt our
hooa1er friend has done as much

IN ANNULM[NT SUIT
Daughter OF Pablo Vasquez, the
Pioneer, Files Action Against
Albert w. Benton
First Wife, Believing Herself
Divorced, Married Railroad
Constructor in North

Allegations amounting to charge of
bigamy We're made in an action for
annulment of marriage filed yesterday
by Mrs. Fara V. w. Benton against Al
bert w. Benton. Mrs. Benton is a
daughter Of Pablo yasquez, one of the
pioneer Spanish settlers of the Half
moon bay district. She inherited a for
tune from her father and aunt, and says
that Benton has squandered about $780,

together on a ranch in Mendocino coun-
ty when she heard that Benton's first
wife was not divorced from him. Mrs.
Benton is living at 37i London street,
San Francisco
Further complication is added TO the
case by the fact that Benton's first wife,
believing he had obtained divorce
from her, has remarked. She is now
the wife of n. Schneider of Aberdeen,
Wash, superintendent of construction
for the Northern Pacific railroad. Ben
ton commenced divorce proceedings IN
San Francisco in August, 1903, but IL
is said that he was never granted a
decree. He married the woman who is
now suing him in November of that
year at Modesto. Benton is living on
the ranch in Mendocino county.
Francis NJ. Colvin. attorney for Mrs.
Benton, says that If Benton comes TO
San Francisco he will have him charged
with bigamy. Colvin has received
letter from Mrs. Schneider stating that
she left Benton in March, 1898.
Mrs. Bentons present possessions IN
clude realty in the Excelsior homestead
tract. the ranch of 100 acres in Mendo-
cino county, and livestock and farming
implements. Attorney Colvin says that
Benton caused his wife to sacrifice val
uable property in order to raise money
for his pleasures.
