1 Burlington Gazette: The Cham
berlain-Harringto circuit of theatres
has not been purchased by the Shu-

terday. Attorney W. E. Blake who
represented Mrs. Frank Chamberlain
at the conference with the Shuberts
which was held yesterday at Chicago
says: "As far Us ownership is con-
cerned, there has been no change in
the Chamberlain-Ha Harrington circuit
We were unable to reach an agree
ment yesterday and negotiations are
at an end" 1.-THE controlling interest
in this circuit of theatres is owned by
the Frank Chamberlain estate. Ev-
cry estate must be settled some time,
but there is no need to hurry The
Shuberts wanted to talk over the
matter of buying the stock, but the
conference closed just where it start
ed. / do not know where the Chicago
papers got the material for their art
icles, but there was not the least
foundation for the stories" The Shu-
berts, while wanting the Chamberlain
i harrington circuit, have not yet made
a good enough offer. This syndicate
is the only one that has 70 far made
an effort to buy in the middle west
circuit. Some other organization
may make an offer at any time, as the
Chamberlain stock is for sale.

The Manufacture of What
Consumers Require Is
of Great Importance.
Saves for Home the Railroad
Freights and Outsiders Profits.
Encourage Work by
Patronage.

This paper has had a little to say
heretofore about the advisability of
producing every article of consumption
that can be raised or manufactured at
home.
All kinds of packed and cured meats
are shipped to Delta from the cities
for our consumers, any one of whom
would be glad to be able to buy good
home smoked ham or piece of bacon
not alone for the sake of patronizing
home, but because they like it better.
The home product of cured meats, if
properly handled, is fresh and sweet
beside the stock quality the packing
houses send out.
The moral in this as in many other
such SUBJECTS, is: Raise more hogs
and cure more meat. The hogs are
The Delta independent., 1909-04-16

good property anyway you dispose of
them, but those who properly country
cure some hams and bacon, do their
fellow-man a real service.
Again: Why should cattle and hogs
be sent to Denver or other far distant
points to be bought. packed and the
meat be sent back to where it was
raised to be again sold to consumers?
In this way freight has to be paid both
ways and at least two profits be ac-
counted for, and, even if the consumer
has to pay the same price, that much
money should be kept at home.
And the same thing applies to all
lines of home products and home man.
ufacture. Keep all this in mind. 1t
all helps. Eastern cities become great
wholly by taking care of their pro-
ducts and resources. The illustration
is much like that of the man who bor-
rows and the one who loans money.
The borrower pays interest while the
one who loans adds the interest to his
capital. Just as soon as a community
becomes able to supply itself it saves
its proportion of the fortunes outside
packers, manufactures. and the rail-
roads are building up.

Importance of Irrigation.

f. II. LIBBY. Irrigation is of much
Importance because it puts family
upon ten acres and brings that family
to affluence on land that ordinarily
would not support family so well up
on thousand acres. Irrigation is be-
coming recognized all over the country
as vital to all the western half of the
United States and of great Importance
to many sections of the eastern half.
Irrigated lands are worth more this
year than ever before. Irrigation looms
larger in the eye of the investing pub
lie. The year and the state of the ir
rigation development are alike pro.
pitious. Investments are coming in
freely and they are the best the west
has to offer.

Building is Fairly Actipe.

Building is showing better progress
with the opening up of the spring sea
son. A new brick building is going up
at the corner of Main and Second.
which will be used as an art gallery
and residence.
The new Fairlamb block has the
foundation in and will be pushed to
completion as rapidly as possible. 1t
occupies the lot where the old postoffice
stood and will be built two stories, of
Delta pressed brick.
The Spot Cash Mercantile company is
showing up the walls of its big new
store building on Main just below
Fifth street. This building is of con-
crete and will be one of the largest
of the Delta store buildings.
Here and there over town new resi-
dences are planned or in course of
construction, while additions are being
built on others.
1t is early yet to form an estimate
of the amount of building Delta will
have this year, but. if crop condition $
are favorable. there will be great

Farmers Clear Headed.

No other class of people have kept
their feet so firmly since last October
as the farmers have done. And they
have kept their heads. too. They look
out over the conntry and behold the
symptoms, here and there, of financial
decentralization and depression, in the
light railroad traffic, partly suspended
manufacturing, commercial hesitancy
and inactivity and speculative paraly-
sis. They realize that, in so far as
these things portend low wages or lack
of employment for labor, they must
ultimately affect the farmer by limiting
the demand for his product. but they
are sagacious enough to know that
existing conditions, with the world
supply of food relatively low, will
prevent any acute depression in the
prices of farm products for two or
three years to come; by which time
financial disorders affecting other
classes will doubtless have passed away.
This means assured prosperity for the
farmer and a continued chance for him
to put money in the bank for the
rainy day" which comes into the lives
of one and all

Old Timers Fear Gunnison Flood.

The fact that, with mountains of
snow to be melted at its head ranges
and foothill water sheds, the Gunnison
river is still low, causes old timers to
predict floods this spring, especially if
the weather should turn suddenly
warm. They point to the fact that,
ordinarily each spring the river has
been running high for two or three
weeks before this time. thus getting
rid of a part of the flood water. while
up to this date, because of the cool
weather, no flood water has passed
down and several times the usual
amount of snow remains to be melted.
Two conditions may aid in lessening
the flood strength: The snow may
melt gradually so as not too greatly to
swell the channel, and the early fall of
snow, forming largely into Ice, is ex-
pected to melt much more slowly,
forming longer water supply season.

a Period Full of Interest.

Delta county and all the valleys oil
the Western Slope are just now passing
a period Of greatest interest and I'M.
portance. The next few weeks VIII
decide the fate of this years fruit
crop. Whether the crop shall De sii'a', ,
medium or full. will be determined
largely by the weather of the next four
weeks. Up to date it is reported that
little or no damage has been done, and
because of the general backwardness
of the season fruit growers are very
hopeful for big crop. Ringing upon
the possibilities, however, is greatly
suspended activity until the fate OF the
season's crop is fully determined
