Orchard Park Power
and Irigation Co.


One of the many improvements of
note going on in Delta county is the
Orchard Park Power and Irrigation
system. Mr.. Geo. A. Nidy and others
are putting in this plant about six
miles from Delta. the object of the
company is to develop power with tur-
bine water wheels using the water of
the Gunnison river for power and ir-
rigstion. The supply ditch will be so
feet wide and will carry feet deep of
water. From TOO to 800 horse power
can be developed at this plant. Til
power will be used for electrical pur-
poses and to pump water for irrigating
the lands on the high mesa adjacent to
the plant. The section of country that
will come under the system consists of
about 1000 acres of Delta coupty's
choicest fruit land. The soil is mostly
of red sand and very favorably located
as a fruit section close to the railroad
and only about to 8 miles from Delta.
A part of the power machinery is now
on the ground, the ditch work about
one-third done and the headgate and
dam nearly completed The plant will
be completed in time for next seasons
irrigation. There is some choice land
that can yet be secured under this
project.

Delta School of Music.

The Delta School of Music is now in
its second year, having been organized
in September 1907. From small
beginning of less than dozen students
the first term, it's growth has been
steady until now in its eighteenth month
1t has registered over 100 students.
This steady growth is due to the high
quality of the work being done and to
straightforward professional methods
of doing business.
Mr.. Ashley Forrest, the director. is
a graduate of the Simpson Conservatory
of Music located in Indianola, Iowa,
one of the leading schools west of
Chicago. He also spent a year in

his studies and is thoroughly competent
in all the branches he processes to

Students of this school who expect to
pursue their musical studies later in a
larger city, may rest ssured that they
will have nothing to undo but may take
up the work in any first class institu-
tion exactly where they leave off here.
To stimulate an interest in the theory
of music, without which there can be

of all the people where the proposed
road is planned to be built, is equally
certain.
There is splendid field in Delta
county for net work of short railroad
lines, and a power at hand sufficient
to operate them all, of the cheapest
kind, if it was utilized. This new
movement may mean more to the
county's future than appears, or may
be at the present known.
AS with other local enterprises, the

This state of affairs is brought about

thus proclaim their intention in most
