CITRUS ENCHlNGE
MlkE.S STATEMENT
IMPORTATION RELATIVE TO pACK-
ING AND SHIPPING

Orlando, July aS.-Quite number
of the Orange county growers have
been in Tampa the past week help
ing to organize the Citrus Growers
Exchange.
As is usual on such occasions
there has been more or less mis-
understanding about certain details
connected with the matter and in
order to correct some of the wrong
impressions the following address
has been issued, which puts the
facts very plainly and in most
favorable light:
i Because the headquarters of the
Florida Citrus Exchange are at
Tampa, it does not mean that your
fruit is to be shipped to Tampa.
Every growers fruit goes to the
market by the most direct and
quickest route.
No elected official or director of
the Florida Fruit Exchange draws
any salary, commission repayment
of any nature or kind for his SER
vices. His time, work and money
has been and will be freely cxpend-
ed by him for the general good
without any hope of reward, save
that he can market his fruit, to-
gether with all the Others members
of the exchange, for more money
than he has been able 70 get in any
other way.
No restrictions as - when or

Some Questions and the Ansuer.

Have you heard of farms anywhere
in the United States-away from Delta
County, that are yielding this year as
high as $40, 900, 800, 900 and even $50, ,OOC
from forty acre tract?
Do you know of any other county in
the United States that is marketing
5000 cars of fruit?
Can you search the map and find an
other section where sugar beets, alfal-
ia, grains, melons, potatoes and garden
products generally, yield so abundantly
or supply so generous profits?
Is there another section; agricultural,
fruit or mining, which can show the
difference between dollars invested and
dollars earned which Delta county can
show?

{. & S. OFFICIALS
ARE INTERESTED

There is no doubt but Colorado &
Southern officials are interested in the
proposed extension of that road to Som
erset, Paonia and the North Fork,
either via Kebler pass or by way of the
Black mesa and Crawford. Heavy rails
are being laid over Alpine pass from
Como to Gunnison, and the work train
is already nearing Pitkin. Surveying
parties are reported in several direc-
tions and the congestion of traffic at
Grand Junction and Delta. in spite of
valiant efforts by other roads to handle
the business, proves beyond doubt that
such an extension would be a money
maker for the road. There is business
on the Western Slope for two broad
gage roads today. What will there be
tomorrow when the magnificent agri-
cultural development, now at its incep-
tion, becomes a reality? Such an ex-
tension would make highly profitable
feeder for the Southern, really increase
and develop business for it's rival and it
is easy to see will add fifty per cent to
the value of every piece of property
between Gunnison and Grand Junction.
With this connection built Paonia would
be 270 miles from Denver instead Of
4O6. Delta, Hotchkiss, Cedaredge and
Crawford would all save hundred
miles in direct railroad travel for both
freight and passenger traffic. Mont
rose and Olathe would save almost as
much. This is the time of year to inn
press the fact upon c. &. S. officials.
All commercial bodies should get
busy. -Gunnison ws-Champion.

Immense Crops, Constantly Increasing, Empha-
size Need of Another Road.--Products
Awaiting Shipment Will Be Delayed
By Another Shortage Of Cars.

to follow this action. as the company,
now fully aware of the needs of the
situation, will do its utmost to supply
the cars needed, in its own as well as
in the interests of growers and ship
pers. In case the railroad company
finds itself unable to do this, however,
and losses result, as they must, then
the cases of damage against the COM
pany as a common carrier may be taken
into the courts for not supplying the
cars necessary TO carry the fruit ship
ments.
In discussing the matter the d. & R..
G. people are charged with contracting
with Pullman, or Armour for its sup
ply of cars, and eonfining its applica-
ton for cars TO those concerns, when
panies have cars at its disposal on re-
quest. This. if true, would make a
rather strong point against the ID. g.
r. G. company.
The great point at interest just now
is to get cars enough to ship our ap-
Piles, which are now being gathered
and packed. Naturally a good many
can be stored, but this necessities
their being handled twice ann that,

to work hardship either to the grower
or to the shipper.
The condition is one, however. which
points the grower to the advantage of
having packing and storage house Of
his own, and may also do much toward
clearing the field from such occurrences
in future years, for it will serve to
teach growers, shippers and railroads,

City of Grand Junction Is
Awakening to Ask
for More Arcs.
A Full Moon at Every Street
Corner Proves That Delta
Leads in Enterprise, and
Is Moving Forward.

OF the string of Western Slope cities
which Delta forms the center, she is
the first to put in side Arc Lights.
This is natural, for Delta leads the
Western Slope in matters of enterprise
as certainly as Delta county leads all
other connties in productiveness.
The time was when Ito be Roman
was greater than to be king" The
time will be when, to be a citizen of
Delta county will mean even greater
honor and fame than that which the
ancient Roman claimed.
Delta can outshine and OUTRAGE any
of her neighbor towns. and Delta coun-
ty car load more than double the cars
with apples and other products for the
next thirty days than can any other
County in the State.
This is not saying aught against our
neighbors. Their towns, counties and
people are good and their resources
splendid. That they are not up with
Delta and Delta county is matter be-
yond their control. 1t is just that we
feel bit sorry for them and awfully
proud of our Banner town and county.

Work For Factories.

Delta people should exert every pos
sible effort to secure factories.
To city of this size, with demand
and raw material to supply such enter
prises, they mean life. progress, per-
manency and prosperity.
Keep every one of the many thous-
ands of dollars now going to help out
other places at home that you can.
This is logic which neither sage nor inn
beetle can dispute.
Delta possesses the natural field.
Water and fuel are in abundance.
A sugar factory has the field and the
supply awaiting. A factory to turn
out fruit boxes and baskets could en-
ploy a large plant profitably. Canning
factories, pickle and vinegar plants.
evaporators, preserve factories. have
here their natural field. Alfalfa mills
should also be built, cigar factory
would pay as well in Delta as else
where. And the field is no doubt
good one for many others.
A factory campaign is just as neces-
sary to the growth and prosperity of
Delta now as it has been to any other
city at its stage. Within few years
we should have thousand men and
women employed through that field,
which alone would mean an additional
5000 people.
We believe that Delta is surrounded
by the most wonderfully productive sec
ton known to the world. Its field in
vites manufacturing capital and manu-
featuring enterprises. Its growth ID
just beginning. The ground floor awaits
them at this time.

NetD Superintendent Talks
ofD. 6 r. G. Improvement.

sYes we intend to make the Mont
rose-Salida narrow guage road stand
ard track" said General Manager
Clarke of the D. & r. G. last night to
a News reporter. When asked how
soon the work would be commenced he
stated that he did not know yet but
chat possibly early in the spring. Mr..
Clarke is in the city for the third time
during the past ten days. He is max
ing a tour of inspection of the system,
he stated, and remarked, Don't you
think three visits to Grand Junction in
ten days is pretty good?"
Asked about the car shortage Mr..
Clarke said: I'VE are making every
effort to get cars to fruit points to
handle the big crop, and we believe that
we can prevent any loss that some were
afraid might occur on account of a car
shortage"
The converting of the road from
Montrose to Salida into standard
guage line and making of improvements
has been long considered by the d. &
r. G. officials, They hope to make that
the main line via Grand Junction from
Salt Lake to Denver, thus shortening
the distance fully fifty miles. Grand

Delta Public Library and Ex-
hibits for Apple Show
Are Acted Upon.
Delegates to Western Slope Devel-
opment Congress. and Va
rious Committees Are
Appointed.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Delta County Business Mems Associa-
ton was held last Monday evening in
Odd Fellows Hall. The business ses-
sion, which followed the supper, was
chiefly devoted to plans for Delta coun-
tvs exhibit at the National Apple
Show, to be held in Denver, starting
January 8.
Fred Mcconnell was appointed COM
mittee of one, with power to appoint
two assistants, to make a thorough
canvass of the country and secure ex-
hibits, as well as get contributions to
the S400 fund which was guaranteed
for the show by the Business Mems
Association. There is no reason why
Delta county should not capture the
leading prizes in Denver. as it has done
elsewhere, and as the growers will re-
ceive the greatest benefits they are ex-
pected to do their share in a financial
way. The plan for special train to
the show, to be made up of Delta
county boosters, was heartily endorsed
W. H. Garvin, W. P. Dale and E. w.
Taylor, were appointed delegates to
the Western Slope Development con-
gress, to be held in Grand Junction
next month.
DIR. A. H. Stockham was appointed
a member of the committee which is
making an effort to secure public
libarary for Delta
The attendance at the meeting was
by no means as large as it should have
been and it is to be hoped that at fu-
ture meetings the business men will
turn out in large numbers. An active
campaign for new members is being
made, especially among the fruit grow
ers and farmers, who get much of the
benefit of the associations work.

Juvenile Delinquency
Gases at Montrose.

MoNTRosE. Oct. 13.-Arta johnson,
Myrtle Bennett, Berta Hassock, Maude
Newton, Margaret Rivers, Harry Con-
ley and Joe Woods, the Montrose young
people who were arrested in Olathe
Monday night at about midnight on the
charge of social depravity. We're tried
in court here today and convicted of
juvenile delinquency. Sheriff Ed De-
Guelle was the prosecuting witness.
They were sentenced by County Judge
Haney, the boys to the reform school
and the girls to the girls industrial
school. Sentences We're suspended
pending good behavior. Every effort
was made to hush the case and the trial
was held behind closed doors. the par
ents of the children and the witnesses
being the only ones present. The girls
played hockey from school Monday and
went to Olathe. They later phoned the
boys who went to Olathe, testifying in
court that they went to Induce the
girls to return home, as talk of running
away had been going on among them.
When the sheriff found them however,
the two boys We're occupying rooms
with two of the girls and Arta johnson
and Bertha Hassock We're occupying
another.
The case has created quite social

Box Factory Needed.

The difficulty in getting boxes for
apples at this time emphasizes the need
of a factory at Delta and proves the
field to be a superior opening for such
an enterprise.
When you come to count upon ship
ments of apples from surrounding ter
ritory by thousands of carloads, with
additional acres of trees coming into
bearing every succeeding year, the i'm
mense demand for boxes can be at once
seen.
That they should be manufactured at
home instead of shipped in, is equally
plain.
A box factory at Delta is just as
necessary as a brick plant and should
be on a large scale.

Booster Train Progressing.

Arrangements for the special train
which is to take at least 100 Delta
county boosters to the National Apple
Show, to be held in Denver starting
January 8, are going ahead with rush.
The board of directors of the CONNER
cial Association at Paonia, at their last
meeting. pledged themselves to send at
least 25 persons. The Hotchkiss asso-
citation expects to send at least 20. and
the growers around Austin believe that
they can make up another carload. 1t
now seems probable that there will
have to be five Pullmans on the special
instead of the four originally planned,
as the number of those who say they
intend to go is increasing daily. The
fact that the National Live Stock show
is to be held in Denver on the same
dates is also helping to increase the at
tendance.

Present clogged shipping facilities
for Delta county fruit and other pro-
ducts points to the great need of addi-
tional railroad facilities.
When you count carlot shipments by
the many thousands. it certainly ought
to be an inucement to other railroads
to enter this field.
When Cripple Creek began to open
up its ore bodies three railroads begun
at once to dig through its surrounding
hills TO compete for the ore shipments.
Delta county today presents the
spectacle of hundreds of carloads of
fruit alone being held because its one
railroad backed and goaded by the
whole commercial world who want the
goods, is unable to supply cars to ship
it
Resides the thousands of carloads OF
apples we have an immense crop OF
sugar beets to handle. potatoes to ship,
stock to ship. hay and grain to ship and
the product Of coal field containing
millions of tons. to handle.
Today the shipping product of Delta
county is worth dozen of that OF the
Cripple Creek mining district. and 1t
must increase as the country improves
and develops.
Not only is the haul of our freight
several times as long. but it is Of a
character much easier on rolling stock
and less trouble to handle.
h,.h has haar, said hearing uDOn the
field for railroad building. but the
strongest argument possible to make
il the vast amount Of freight offered.
and this should appeal successfully to
railroad builders.
We need more railroads. The busi-
ness demands them and will pay them
as big profits as any field can offer.
What more can investing capital ask
or expect?

South Is Storm Ridden.

A terrific hurricane swept the south
coast of Florida Tuesday, full reports
from which are only due today. A dis
patch from Washington yesterday said:
Reports from Havana and other
points on the island of Cuba and from
the east coast of Florida say that the
hurricane which swept over the islands
and over the peninsula of Florida last
night did great deal more damage
than was at first reported. Many lives
were lost also. The storm veered into
the sea after passing over Florida, and
was reported as heading for the Ber-
muda islands this morning."
