Fruit Shippers Organize
In Procure c


An interesting meeting was held Sum
day at the office Of the Delta County
Fruit Growers Association in Delta,
the object being to discuss car short
age. The meeting was well attended
by shippers and the discussion plain
and to the point.
The fact that the car requirement in
case of big fruit crop had been
kept before the railroad company for
more than a year, that the company
had, from time to time, had men in the
field to investigate and had made prom
ises that ample cars would be on hand
to take care of the shipments; and that
now about $50 carloads of apples were
packed and ready to ship. with no cars
to receive them, caused considerable
heat.
Superintendent Clark and Vice-Presi-
dent Schlacks were up the North Fork
in their private car, but wreck on the
road delayed them. Upon arriving at
Delta they were interviewed by shipper
delegates and said: 1--WE are doing all
we can to supply cars. We have cor
tracts and cars are headed this way.
Some $50 cars are now empty between
Salida and Pueblo, and these will be at
your disposal within a few days."
These and other cars mentioned are
slow coming in and shippers say that
Delta county needs about ls5 cars day
for the next twenty days, to load out.
Some talk was made to the effect that
500 cars would be placed at the disposal
Of shippers. but this would not be more
thar two-days' supply for the Western
Slope points.
The meeting Sunday resulted in the
organization of shippers under title OF
The United Shippers Association OF
Delta County. w. H. Garvin was
chosen president and Clarence Nelson
secretary and treasurer Of the associa-
tion, and Merle d. Vincent of Paonia
and Porter Plumb of Delta were en-
gagged as legal advisers.
It is presumed that cars will be sup
piled and that no legal scrap is likely

No Mistake About 1t.

Delta is the present and coming city.
Those having money to invest will
make no mistake if they investigate
opportunities here. 1t is not necessary
to rush into supplied lines, for new
ones offer better profits. A little study
of the field will convince you that none
are more sound; none more sure of
growth, advancement and profit.

OUR FOOT BALL TEAM
DEFEATS MONTROSE

The first game of the season was
played last Saturday at Montrose be-
tween the two foot ball teams of the
Delta High School and the Montrose
High School. The Montrose team was
a good deal the heavier of the two
teams. Neither team was able to
make a touchdown during the first half
of the game. This meant that each
team must get busy the last half. and
they did. Both teams played their best
and at the end of the last half the
score stood IL to 0 in Delta's favor,
Delta having made two touchdowns and
kicked one goal.
The Montrose rooters did some loud
roofing while Delta's team had no sup
port in that line.
The first game of the season has
been won by Delta and the team ex-
poets to keep up the good record.
Saturday evening the Montrose team
gave the visiting team delightful
reception in the X. P. hall. A nice
program was rendered by some of the
talented students of the Montrose High
School after which refreshments were
served. The welcome spirit shown by
Montrose toward Delta was the best
ever shown and Delta intends to treat
them with the same respect when they
come here two weeks from now.

The INDEPENDENT heartily congratu-
lates the Delta boys on their sweeping
victory. and trusts that they may win
many more honors before the season

them.

This Is the first time that Chase has

from the plate, and finally the scrubs

The Admiral" proved himself also
handy with the stick. He had been hit
ting the bal! on the nose for several
days, but Yesterday he cut loose for

man, and he assists McGraw whole
lot in handling the young pitchers. VIII
bert Robinson says there may be better
catchers than Schle, but he is unable
to locate them.
Murray Loosens Up.
Jack Murray took things easy for the
first two days after his arrival, but In
the regular game he was loosened up
nicely and began to show his real speed.
On two occasions he went back to the
fence and pulled down long files that
looked impossible. The younger talent
shook their heads gloomily as they saw
what they would have to beat to get on
the team.
At the bat Murray was whirlwind.
one OF his line drives was caught by a
miracle as It went past first, and Ames
yelled from the bench: rs that the rea-
son you didn't hit 800 last year?' II It
was. Murray certainly suffered from
hard luck The old players predict that
Murray will easily hi 800 with good
club behind him. II he can come SO
close with loser, he certainly ought 10
