Of late it has become question, on
the lower section of Surface Creek,
whether or no the real estate agencies
of Delta are aware that Surface Creek,
and especially that portion between the
Gunnison river and Eckert, is on the
map. We can hardly hold the news
papers or the abstract office, for the
blunders in the location of ranch prop
erty sold, as we presume the reports
of sales are printed in the papers, and
entered on the books of the abstract Of
fee just as they are reported. But
some one or more than one, seems to
"have it in" for lower Surface Creek.
We would not like to say it is ignor-
ance of locat on that will place tract
of land any where from five to twenty
five miles from where it is situated.
This has been done recently in three
sales of land on lower Surface Creek.
Several weeks ago Mrs. L. V. Keiser
was reported as having sold twenty
acres near Cedaredge The tract
sold is within 1l2 miles of Austin.
Those who have known Mrs. Keiser's
land for the past II years wondered by
what freak of nature it was anchored
near Cedaredge."
Later, John P. Kettle was reported
to have sold two ten-acre tracts near
Hotchkiss.' This was a ''stunner'
to scores of people who have known
Mr.. Kettle for the past ten or twelve
yaarS u;S ranch iS Sit,rated one milo
from Austin, and he has lived there
ever since he came to the county, and
few men are better known. When the
report was read that his land was near
Hotchkiss, one gentleman wanted to
know what kind of a lnnatic was re-
porting the real estate sales?
Another. Mr.. Jetfers was reported
as having sold So acres in Hart's Bas-
in. AS it was generally known that
Mr.. Jetfers purchased the Jesse Hart
ranch abont 2ia miles from Austin, on
Surface Greek mesa. they wondered
how he had moved so large and valu-
able property or miles further east.
All these pieces of property brought
big prices because they are in the prize
fruit belt of Delta county and close to
a shipping station. We have the land,
/ the fruit and exceptional surroundings
and we do not propose to be showed off
the map OF Delta county. We are not
''boasters' but are boosters" for all
of Delta county, and we serve notice
] now on the parties who manipulate
these reports that they must either in
form themselves as to the location of
the land sold, or subject themselves to
ridicule for their ignorance. We sim
cerely hope the Delta papers are not
lending themselves knowingly to THIS
knocking" of one of the most fertile
sections of Delta county.
Lower Surface Creek mesa is on the
map to stay, Austin and Saxton will
continue to grow as shipping points,
and there will be no need of locating
land sold near Cedaredge or Hotchkiss
as being on ''lower Surface Creek
| mesa to boost our section.

Our Sugar Beets.

The illustration on this page is mere
ly snapshot at a string of teams
more than half mile long. the wagons
loaded with sugar beets waiting their
turn to unload at the Delta tipple.
1t could have been worse than this
picture portrays. 1t just happened that
there were only that many teams in
sight when the photo was taken. There
were times this fall when many more
could have been pictured.
The scene is one, however, which
could have been duplicated at any one
of the half-dozen loading stations of
our beet field territory, of which Delta
is the center.
Gaze upon the picture and say if we
do not need the beet sugar factory
which we soon must secure!
At present all the beets grown here
must be shipped to factory at Grand
Junction So miles away. Delta is rails
ing sugar beets to supply a factory
without getting any credit for it; al
lowing all the money and feeding ad-
vantages to go to benefit another towr
and county. We are in this manner de-
liberately throwing away enough taxes
and income to pay all of our county ex
penses and provide US with good roads
and bridges.
But we do not believe this will long
remain true Active effort is being
used to secure local factory with good
promise of early success.

said. l do not know of anything l
could invest in which would give me
such good returns So the land was
taken off the market and this fall a
S25 600 check for the fruit crop was the
result.
Look at this and answer if that
20 acres of orchard would not have
been snap at $3.50 an acre-a price
which would have been covered by this
years crop.
And yet some people say that land is
high in Delta county.

SAYS HE SAW MISSING
PASTOR IN LONDON.
Newark Singer Knew Him Be-
fore Disappearance.

Inquiries today furnish no more news
of the missing divine, the Rev. H. C.
Vanderbeek. At his former residence,
PIG Montclair avenue, nothing has been
heard of him for the past three months.
Prior to that time he had sent souvenir
postals of his trip,
Robert Geisenbeck, son of a Newark
druggist. was last with him at the Ber-
lin Hotel, in Berlin. He left July 10,
and since then he has not been heard
from. and the only word of him since
was the report of one Henry Rabke, of
this city, a singer. in which the Rev.
DR.. Vanderbeek was much interested
before resigning from the Forest Hill
Presbyterian Church. and who has been
studying vocal culture in London for
the past few years. Mr.. Rabke states
that he saw the cleric in London some
three weeks ago.
His continued silence and strange dis
appearance are a source of no little
anxiety to his friends and parents. who
are trying to trace him through mutual
in Paris.

Insane.

louisville, Pa, Nov. 2.-Daniel
Schoke, a butcher, cut off the heads OF
his wife and 12-year-old daughter at
Pine Grove, near here, and then COM
mitted suicide by shooting himself.
The CHASTITY discovery was made today
when neighbors, who became suspicious
that something was wrong when there
was no sign of life about the house,
broke open the front door They found
Sc1oke lying on the first floor and the
bodies of the wife and little girl in a
bed on the second floor.
Schoke had covered the bodies with
the bed clothing. and after writing a
note telling what he had done he went
downstairs and shot himself through
the head. Death in ibis case was in
Simultaneous
Schoke was So years old. He was of
a rather peculiar and unsteady dis
position and several times failed IN
business, but his relatives came to his
assistance each time and started hin
in business again. 1t is believed that
he worried himself insane. Last eve
ming he took his lodgs books to the
home of a relative along with other
possessions, indicating that he premedi-
tated the murders.

SOCIETY DOCTOR LIVES IN
SECLUSION IMAM S8=ROOM.

NEW YORK, Nov. DIR. Smith Hol-
Inns Mckim, the noted society physi-
clan, is today living in a for
which he pays IS a week. at 152 Madi-
son avenue, and is keeping himself in
the utmost seclusion yer grief result
ing from his wife's preparations for
divorce.
When the news Of DR.. McKim's
strange action became known society
expressed it's astonishment, as the ply
stefan has always Deer known as one
of the liyeliest members of the exclu-
sive set.
DIR. McKim disappeared last May
when he and his wife separted, the
beautiful young woman packing her
trunks and moving hastily to her faith
er's home in Baltimore. The physicians
friends thought he had gone to Europe
and believed him to be somewhere near
Paris.
In marked contrast to the large num-
Der of friends he and his wife enter
tanned at their palatial country home
in Irvington-on-the Hudson, n their
villa in Newport, there are only two
callers nowadays. One of these is Philip
La Mantigne, and the other a society
man.
How DIR. McKim. who was always
a moving spirit at the entertainments
of the Four Hundred in this city and
Newport, manages to amuse himself,
is a-puzzle to his acquaintances.

Very Much in Doubt.

Usually in the township elections in
Belleville the politicians are able to

selves at sea. An active canvass has
been made by the candidates on both
sides n the result will be a matter Of
speculation until after. the votes are
counted.

SAYS HE SAW COOK TURN
BACK O M'KINLEY CLIMB.
Prospector Declares Explorer
Never Reached Top of Mount.

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 2.-"If DR..
Cook claims he climbed to the top of
Noun Mckinley. he tells IN .untruth,'
is. the curt way that Jacob Suter, of
B~ellingham, Wash, an old, experienced
mountaineer and ~prospector, defined his
idea of the explorers claim to have
made an ascent of that mountain, in a
recent interview in a newspaper.
ID Cook never reached the summit
Of Mount Mckinley, and / want to say
right here that no other man ever made
the top. In the first place. it lis a ply
steal i~mpossibilfty, for the peak of that
mountain Is a pyramid or pinnacle OF
solid, glaring ice.
MY statement that Dr.. Cook did not
reach the top of Mount Mckinley is
not based on mere heresay evidence,
for was there at the time DIR. Cook
and his party tried TO make the ascent.
He went up to the last bench on the
mountain, a distance of about 5000 or
5000 feet. but did not reach the sum-
init. We "a them on the mountain
with our field glasses.
I'VE saw them start up Yetna river,
and they came back because the route
was too difficult. Through the glasses
we saw them urn back and come
down"

EAST NEWARK'S LIVELY
FIGHT FOR CONSTABLES.
Unique Contest Under Way in
Trans=Passaic Borough.

An odd election contest is on in East
Newark today and it is the first time in
the history of the little borough that
anything like it has been conducted.
The fight is over the constableships.
three of which are to be filled.
On primary day the Democrats had
four candidates in the ield-former
Chief of Police John Tierney, George
Barry, Timothy Furphy and Philip
Quinn-and John Logan was the sole
Republican aspirant.
Barry, Furphy and Quinn were the
victors on the Democratic ticket, while
Logan, unopposed, was the Republican
nominee. East Newark is emocra tic
and always has been.
Logan, who is now connected with the
shcriff's office, had little or no chance to
beat one of the Democrats on election
day, SO Quinn, it is said, withdrew in
his favor. Friends of Tierney heard of
it and at once procured pastors and to-
day a paster war will be waged. rs
The election in Harrison will be ex-
ceptionally quiet. There will be no OPP
position for any of the major local
offices.

KENTUCKY RIOTERS
BURN POLLS AND
DEFY SOLDIERS
Situation in Jackson Critical,
and Reinforcements Are
Hurried to Scene.

JACKSON, KY, Nov. 2.-Reports
from crockettsTille and Sebastian's
Branch today state that two attempts,
one successful, had been made to steal
ballots near Crockettsville precinct. at
the mouth Of Longs creek. The home
of Mary Dealin, who held ballots for
that precinct, was destroyed by fire.
The Lexington soldiers were unable to
save the ballots. At Sebastian's Branch
precinct the Democrats are reported to
nave seized the ballots and hidden
them.
The telephone wires between Jackson
and Crockettsville were cut. Captain
Sans and his detail of militiamen are
supposed to be in that vicinity. The
situation in Jackson at present is crit
ica1.
According to their political beliefs,
jackson and Breathitt county men
stigmatize the firing of the Dealin home
as incendiary, or accidental. The most
reliable report from the place, which
is twenty-five miles away is that Mrs.
Dealin was feeding the Lexington sol
diers under Captain Sans when the
fire occurred. The ballots were de-
stroyed and fresh ones were furnished
from Jackson.
These are the ballots for which an
armed crowd of men threatened to take
from a Jackson bank last week and
which were finally given to Mary
Dealin by Judge Adams for safe-keep-
ing. Crockettsville, the home of Ed.
Callahan, the noted feudist, and gath
ering place Of the warlike Breathitt
county clans, today is the chief point
of interest in the political war. OF the
theft of the Sebastian's Branch ballots
nc details are now obtainable.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
Bad Stomach Causes Unsightly Com
plexions-E. R. Petty Has a Remedy.

Bad stomachs mean bad blood; bad
blood means sallow, unattractive skin.
Why? The stomach in a healthy con
dition separates the nutritious matter
from the food and gives it to the blood
to supply the entire body with nourish-
ment.
If the stomach is not in a healthy
condition it doe not separate from the
food the nutritious matter and it
passes off with the waste.
Thus the blood il impoverished and
has not sufficient nourishment to supply
the muscles, skin and body generally.
If you have belching of gas, distress
after eating, nausea, biiiousness, ner-
vousness or foul breath, then your
stomach is wrong and you want the
best prescription for stomach troubles
the world has ever known.
You want Mi-o-na tablets, the great
stomach remedy which E. r. Petty
guarantees to cure Indigestion, no mat
ter Of how long standing, or money
back. tf
Relieves stomach distress at once.
Mi-o-na is sold by leading druggists
everywhere and in Newark by e. r.
Petty for 50 cents a large box. Test
samples from Booths Mi-o-na, Buffalo,

such pretext, and cite court cases to
prove the right of their view of the
