When finished at last the ques ion
was-how should he dress it? For sew

taking laborious stitches in the dolls

AS he held it at arms length to view
it, he said softly to himself: 81 didn't

I'd never "a found it out if hadn't "a

The miners looked in astonishment at
Jacks invention, and Christmas day
there was not a happier man among the
ten miners than the boy, Jack, who ate
only bread and wild rabbit for dinner,
never thinking of the potatoes he
might have had if he had not given
Cinthia that wonderful doll.

Local Paragraphs

Send the INDEPENDENT away for a
Christmas present and you will get the
votes just the same for your choice of
candidates for Apple Queen.
Delta county apples, fresh from the
cellar where they have been stored, are
now getting good; deliciously, gorgeous
ly fine. This is a home testimonial
They are one of the luxuries of our
glorious homes. Here we have them in
all their genuine splendor. big, red,
juicy; favored for the gods.
Delta will grow, must grow, is bound
to grow. Not SO awfully long ago Chi
cago was just little town. Now it
has three million population and is des-
tined-by prediction-to become the
largest city in the United States. Delta
is growing, not so fast as Chicago; but
give the husky child time and opportun
ity. She will spread herself to sur
prise everybody.
Delta county has had glory enough
this year to swell her head to the burst
ing point. Yet much is left for the fu-
ture to accomplish. Speaking of the
situation comparatively new man said
this week: The home people should
wake up. They have allowed them
selves to become SO accustomed to great
surroundings that they fail to realize
their extent or to fully appreciate them,
and it is left to the new conner to be-
hold with astonishment the magnitude
of Delta county's resources.

Why Della County Is
Ideal for Homes

With rich soil, water in abundance
with which to irrigate, coal and wood
for fuel. best of schools, churches and
society, free from the vicious influence
es to be found in otherwise attractive
localities, with high class people form
ing the population, and with good aver
age health, Delta county can be recon-
mended as ideal for homes, a place
where men can safely bring their fam
lilies.
Here happy, prosperous homes can
be made, and the assurance can be
given that, with these good people,
moral conditions will not be allowed to
change.
The Delta independent., 1909-12-17
Delta,s Coal Fields.

The coal measures of Delta county
now developed, extend along Grand
mesa and across by Paonia back to and
around Somerset, the latter being the
mainly developed coal camp. The bal
ance of the mines have been opened up
here and there at greater or less dis
tance from the railroad, and from these
coal is teamed to consumers in different
sections of the county. The general
quality is bituminous, a Ignite shade of
the surface woods appearing until con-
siderable depth is obtained in mining
the product. Much of this coal is hauled
10 to Is miles to consumers, and to
such the price of delivered coal is 81 to
$4. so per ton. At the mines the price
is from 81. 25 to $l.75 ton.
1t is entirely probable that most if
not all of Delta county has underlying
coal measures, and that veins of both
bituminous and anthracite coal will be
opened up in future years at points
which willinsure both cheap and con-
venient fuel to consumers. 1t is also
likely that oil basins and gas veins will
be tapped when proper prospecting for
the balck wealth is begun at the lower
levels.
The wood supply is mainly cedar,
which exists in extensive bodies on the
mesa slopes, reaching up to the altitude
of the spruce pines.

were no women in
the place and only one child-a little
girl who was the daughter of Harry
Alden. Little Cinthia, child of eight,
one of them felt in a measure RESPONSE
BILE for her welfare and happiness since
her mothers death.
They had "laid in" some provisions,
expecting to make another trip to town
for more in December before the heavy
winter SHOWS came. The last part of
November, however, saw three feet of
snow over everything and no prospect
of clear day.
The fifteenth of December came and
the miners became restless; the twen-
tieth found them all in state of great
agitation, for Christmas was almost
upon them and they had nothing-not
even chance to. get anything to help
brighten the day for Cinthia who, child
like had explicit faith in Santa Claus.
The night of the twentieth there was
consultation held in the cabin of John
Westlie and his son, young John or
Jack as he was called. One thing after
another was suggested which they
might do, but there was always some
one who did not agree. At last Jack
Westlie spoke and though he was only
a boy of eighteen, they listened with
respect to what he said.
"Boys we've got to get somethin' for
Cinthia's Christmas, so l say that each
of us gives somethin' we got, seein' we
can't get anything else. Now Jim,
what'll you give?'
"Wall," said Jim slowly, 81 aint got
much but I'll give dozen O. them dried
prunes. Guess that's all l got at she
kin use, 'cept flour"
"Well Fred, what "a you got to
give?"
81 got red neck tie; meby she kin
use it for a hair ribbon" was the an
swer, and so on around the room, each
giving something, which he believed
the child would care for. There were
pinon nuts and dried fruits, and all
save the red neck -tie-from the scanty
supplies which they knew would prob
ably have to last through the winter.
Jacks time came and without mo-
ment's hesitation, he promised doll.
If he had said he would give Cinthia
the world with gold fence around it,
it would not have astonished the miners
any more.
"Where in Creation you goin' to git
doll? Aint you stopped playing dolls
yet? A man eighteen years old, an
still got doll!''
Jack blushed under his tan but he
declared he would get the doll if he
had to make it.
what you goin' to make it out off"
was the next question and Jack had to
confess he did not know, but told them
to come again the next night and find
out.
The night of the twenty-frst found
Jack very much puzzled, but at last he
exclaimed "PotatoesH and then with
contented look, sat down to await the
came he said:
"Will every man here give potato
to help make Cinthia's s doll?"
The little girls father, who had not
been present the night before, protes-
ted against their giving food for such
foolishness, and the other men were of
she same opinion, saying that they
might all starve if they did.
Jack looked them over with con-
temptuous expression on his face, then
he said:
Every well men, didn't think it of
you," but III give all the potatoes my
SELF" and turning he left the room;
closing the door of the next one, he sat
down to make the doll.
Taking round potato, he covered it
with his handkerchief and drew face

SANE FOURTH

q ANITY and patriotism should be ev-
~ ident in all the preparations made
~ for the celebration OF the Fourth
of July in Los Angeles. No matter
what other cities do or don't do, let us
set a good example by giving our fire
department a rest, and by allowing our
ambulance surgeons and hospital
nurses to have a little Independence
day joy, instead of making them work
far harder than they have to work on
any other day of the year.
With all the musical and oratorical
talent that is available in this city, it
would be easy to make arrangements
for big general patriotic celebration
of the day, with many patriotic con-
certs in various halls or school rooms
and in the open air, and with abundant
opportunities for Fourth of July ora
tory. If Los Angeles would set about
making preparations in the right way,
and would begin now, 1t could have an
old-fashioned Fourth that would be
patriotic and bloodless; heart-stirring
and SAFE.

VACATIONS

DOLCE report the number OF dis
appearances is becoming great
Il en-. This is one of the symptoms
of an advanced stage Of civilization.
In the larger cities of the world the
daily list of "missing friends" is ap-
palling. Along with the metropolitan
growth of Los Angeles, this feature of
life is to be expected, although the
reason why any human being should
wish to disappear from the pleasant
associates, scenery, surroundings and
climate of Southern California is a
mystery.
When a mans friends begin to ''get
on his nerves" it is time for him to
change his method of life. In order
to keep up the pace at which men are
compelled to travel a regular day off
is necessary, and we believe the "day
Off is better than the annual vacation.
A man who is not hunter or an angler
does not know what to do with him
self during vacation, and our readers
have doubtless heard men and wo-
men say: ~ cannot explain it, but
IL seems TO Hlc llly NclGs-AAOi AiebD AAON
done me any good. l am more tagged
at the end Of it than I was before I
quit work"
Regularity of habit is what nature
regularity of work and reg
ularity of rest. A vacation. especially
when it is turned into a strenuous un-
dertaking, is an irregularity and a dis
turbing influence in life. 1t does more
harm than good. People who have
long vacations, for instance, college
professors and school teachers, nave
found a way of dealing with the vaca-
tion difficulty. They conduct summer
classes and return to winter work far
more refreshed in body and mind Than
If they had idled away their time.
Variety Is the spice of life" Do
not allow your work to become monot-
onous. Be original every day. Then
you will never know what it is to be
fagged-unless you are persuaded by
friends to "take a vacation" which, to
busy man with his heart in his work,
| is an expression almost synonymous
! with being bored to DEATH"

NATIONS DEFENDERS STARVED,
SAYS VETERAN AT SAWTELLE

-----
SAWTELLE, June 13.-[Editor Her
ald[: Your recent articles regarding
the management of the soldiers homes
has been of much interest to the old
veterans here. Certainly a sweeping
investigation is quickly needed. When
congress enacted the law for the estab-
lishment of homes it was surely sup
posed that the officials of the homes
would be servants to make the homes
comfortable abiding place for the
crippled, weary and worn veterans who
applied for admittance On the con-
trary, a system of intimidation, par
simony and militarism is the method
adopted by the officials in governing
the homes, which all the members now
realize.
What a paradise the Southern Calf
fornia home might be with generous,
kindly officials in charge instead Of ar
rogant, selfish men who figure only to
feather their own nests.
The food furnished in the dining hall
is at all times scant and of poor quality
This niggardly and parsimonious way
of dealing out provisions to the cooks
causes much discord and bad feeling
with the members and the table
walters. The meats come on the tables
in small, ragged scraps, and very sell

grabbing for what little there is on the
platters. Also the potaties and other
vegetables are always in very scant
supply. The coffee is certainly of the
lowest grade that can be purchased. At
the hospital the attendants are often
without coffee, and there is so little
food placed on the tables that many of
the help are obliged to patronize the
Sawtelle restaurants to appease their
hunger. These are facts that cannot
be controverted. Many members bring
to the tables eggs, sugar, onions, vine
gar, cake, ETC., in order to make out
square meal. What does this mean,
when the appropriation for the sub
sistence fund is all that is asked for?
One day recently the dinner was all
that could. be asked for; the meat in
generous slices, with vegetables in
plenty That was the day the G. A. R.
commander and committee visited the
home, when the cunning officials had
good display on the tables.
The members are wishing the G. A
r. committee may come often. The
menu as printed in Los Angeles paper
quite often is laughed at In derision
when read by the old vets, who would
be delighted to see the goods on the
table.
Let a sweeping change be made in
the entire management of the national
homes is the earnest desire of all of
the old veterans. We trust your col
umns will remain open for expressing
incompetency whenever found in pub
lie institutions.

RATES

VI NTIL millennial dawn is breaking
it will be out of the question to
~ expect railroads of their own ac-
cord to give Los Angeles and the Pa
cific coast a square deal in rates. AS
The Herald stated in its news columns,
the prospect of a revolutionary change
in rates which may throw open inter-
mountain territory to the jobbers of
Chicago, st. Louis, Kansas City and
other large interior points while erect
ing a barrier between it and Pacific
coast jobbing interests has resulted in
a promise the entire interstate COM
merce commission will come to Los An
geles next fall to consider the rate
question In its relation to the interests
of the coast.
In the meantime carriers are or
dered to publish class rates as pre-
viously ordered by the commission, ef-
fective July 1, from the east to Spokane,
applicable on /. c. L. shipments to
points between Spokane and Pendleton.
Existing rates are continued on COM
modities and existing rates from Pacific
coast cities to Spokane and other in
terror points are continued"
Manufacturers and jobbers are be-
coming keenly conscious of the neces-
sity for a line of steamships between
Panama and the Pacific coast if there
is to be a reasonable guarantee of
escape from rate tyranny. The COM
pletion of the Panama canal will pro-
vide an all-water route which will be
an effective check on the constant rail-
road menace to the industries of South
ern California.
But even before the completion of the
canal arrangements can be made for
transportation of goods across the
isthmus, and for their reshipment by
the federal line on the Atlantic coast.
In view of the latest railroad frame
up in rate gouging it is of imperative
Importance that strong pressure should
be brought to bear on coast congress-
men and senators in order to make
them realize the Importance of working
for the establishment of a government
line of steamers on the Pacific.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-06-15
c. Q. D.

A ND now the old and famous Cunard
IN steamship line has to thank wire
IA less telegraphy for preventing a
most lamentable break in its record
of care for human life. The Slavonia
became a total wreck two miles south
of Flores island. The lives Of 110 pas
sengers and the crew were in danger.
But there was a wireless telegraph in
strument aboard. An operator sent out
the call, &C @ D." Two steamers
heard the summons while far away and
hurried to the rescue.
After picking up the call for help the
Princess Irene Travelled 1S0 miles. The
Batavia also picked up the thrilling call
and hastened to the scene. Thanks to
wireless telegraphy, every man, woman
and child on the Slavonia was saved,
If it had not been for wireless it is
highly probable every man, woman and
child aboard the Slavonia would have
been lost
The rescue of the Slavonia proves the
imperative necessity of keeping wire
less messages free from interference by
needless amateurs like those who have
been conducting reckless experiments in
Los Angeles and other points in South
ern California. Society may yet have
to pay dearly for the indifference or
toleration with which it views the eff
forts of amateurs to interfere with
them by Quitting in"
If the Slavonia had been wrecked off
the coast of California its &c @ D"
messages might have been sent IN vain.
Amateur interference might have pre-
vented the signal from being heard and
needed.
The employment of wireless to save
lives on the Slavonia illustrates a cor
rect use Of a great modern discovery.
To use wireless telegraphy for the pur-
pose Of destroying life win be an in
correct use.
Thinking men and women may well
be pardoned If they almost literally
shudder as they realize what may be
the consequence to mankind of a mis-
use of Gods great modern gifts, wire
| less telegraphy and the flying machine
Rightfully used, they will bring about
the brotherhood of man. Wrongfully
used, they will produce chaotic hell
upon earth. The wireless amateur idiot
should be suppressed.
