Here's a challenge to cory com
bat that is open to any business
mems organization on the West
ern slope. II six men can be
found of sufficient courage to face
the intrepid Delta lnvinciblcs in
the tomato fight to be held on
the opening day OF the Delta
county fair. September l5. now is
the time for them to step for
ward, or forever after hold their
peace. Strong men may we'll
shudder when they read the names
of the Delta warriors for in an
encounter OF this kind they are
much to be d1;aded.w Here are
the men who will represent the
Delta County Business Mems As
sociation in the conflict. DIR A.
II. Stockham. captain. w. p. Dale,
Mayor B. P. Smith. Judge Porter
Plumb. Judge Milton r. Welch
and T. X. Seaion.
The rules which will govern the
tomato fight are very simple. bu,
the results are nothing shor, of
terrible. The contestants. dressed
in white suits. are placed on lines
thirty feet apart and each man is
given a basket of tomatoes. that
are ripe. soft and Juicy The team
that first drives its opponents off
the mark is declared the winner
of the fat purse that has been do
mated by the Delta Fair Associa-
tion
Now here is a chance for some
organization to win undyinp fame
as we'll as cash. Perhaps Mayor
Duke OF Hotchkiss. Merle Vim
cent of Paonia. or K. w. Curtis of
Cedaredge. may have the nerve
to organize team which will try
and conquer the Delta crowd.
but the task seems almost hope
less. All comers will be welcome
and the different teams will be
led to the slaughter as fast as
they appear.

New Institution Needed.

Some one who learned how to
court girls and drive horse at
the same time can certainly start
a school of instruction in Paonia
with every assurance of success.

folly to trust the girl to do the

that she loses all track of time or

ride bronchos with grace and

The Other Side.

In another column will be
found communication from
Paul Wilson, of Hotchkiss. which
was personally handed to this
editor this week. We arc always
glad to hear from those who i'm
agine themselves wronged by any
utterance VIC happen to make.
and we very cheerfully give
space to Mr.. Wilson's article.
Were it not for the fact that the
first sentence carries an untruth
we should not reply to his ar
ticle. but leave it for what it is
worth. But we deny that we
have abused Mr.. Wilson. We
did state that when the Japs ar
rived at Hotchkiss they inquired
for Mr.. Wilson. That was true.
We said that this indicated that
he was the man who was instru
mental in getting them there. Is
this abuse1 II so whyr Is it
disgraceful to bring yellow men
in to take the work on the
ranches? Is it something to be
hidden. that one is instrumental in
The newspaper., 1909-08-13

that sort of thing1 If so then
we can understand why Mr.. Viii
son consideres it abusive to men,
ton his responsibility.
Paul Wilson is a real estate
man of ability and standing.
Should VIC say in this paper that
he was conducting the best busi-
ness in his line in the valley that
would not be considered abuse.
Is it not conscious guilt rather
than what we have said that leads
Mr.. Wilson to protest.
Mr.. Wilson says they have con-
tractcd for a few Japs (79) just to
help out on their enormous crop.
Well. the growers up here have a
bigger crop and they have not
hired any Japs and they have no
fear of losing through relying on
white men. We have been in
formed that you had but 20 con-
tracts signed out of 200 which
your people agreed to secure. In
other words you can not get the
people down there to deliver the
goods. There arc mighty few
men in Hotchkiss who want laps
and we have no idea that they
will take them.
Mr.. Wilson says that the fruit
growers do not interfere with US
in the conduct of our business
and he thinks we should not in
tcrtere with them. II we were to
iml ort a class of labor that
menaoed the very life of the com.
munity we imagine that there
would be interference not only
from fruit growers but from the
people generally. We do not as
sumo to dictate to any man as to
how he shall conduct his business
but we protest against the impor-
tation OF pests and in that protest
we have vast majority of the
people with us.
Mr.. Wilson says he has person
ally hired no Japs. We are glad
to hear that. Though just why
he should be willing to help in
oculstc his neighbors while re-
naming unpolutcd himself is
quite a mystery to US.
In conversation with Mr.. Will
son he admitted that he was not
posted on the merits of the ques.
ton. He is not experienced in
the result of importing Japs into
community. We submit that
an investigation should proceed
the importation of what all ex-
pcricnced men declare to be a
pest OF the most pronounced
character. Not long ago a man
in this place called to proteat
against the action of a tree in
spcctor who had ordered burned
a consignment of trees received
by him which were loaded with
aphis and crown gall. He did
not understand the merits OF the
question. Later he became posted
and now has no grievance against
the man whose vigilance saved
him great loss Possibly later

Some Excellent Pictures.

The programme at the Gayety
Theatre for Friday annd Saturday
night this week comprises The
Priest of the Wilderness. a most
thrilling story of the trials and
privations OF Catholic prizes, in
the wilds of Canada. A most
beautiful scene is also the Mardi
Gras in Havana. The Way to
Happiness is a romantic sketch OF
singular power and beauty. Eddie,
a Real Live One, is as humorous as
could be imagined. The whole
programme is excellent and will
doubtless be well attended.

Editor NEWSPAPER
Paonia. Colorado.
DEAR SIR:-l have been told
that in the last two or three issues
of your paper you have devoted
considerable space and energy to
abusing me. and other fruit grow
ers near Hotchkiss. because some
OF them have contracted for a few
japanese laborers to help save
their crops.
The facts are these. our growers
have had several meetings to con-
slider how to get sufficient help to
save their fruit crop. All pre-
ferrcd American labor il they
could get it. but some were afraid
that We could not get enough and
signed a contract for a few laps
(79).
Every effort is being made to
secure American labor but with
limited success. Personally ! am
interested in three fruit ranches
OF bearing age of 10. 25. and 40
acres respectively. We have no,
contracted for a single Jap.-bu,
we arc strenuously trying to get
American labor. but later on If
we fail we will probably take Japs
or some other kind of foreign
labor rather than lose our crop.
You seem to forget that the
fruit growers do no, try to run
your business. and you certainly
ought to allow them the privilege
OF running theirs. IL is unworthy
OF you to be trying to stir up
prejudice and strife between the
people OF Hotchkiss and Paonia.
We are all in aud working for the
best interests OF the North Fork
Yours truly.
