County Seat GroDing.

AS the county seat of county grows
so must the county and Ielta county is
no exception. The editor and wife
made trip to Delta last week and
while there noted the many improve
ments which have been going on there
for the past couple of years, and we
could not help but compare this rapid
growth to the conditions which existed
there some five years ago upon the
first visit to that town. At that time
there was no town on the Western
Slope which seemed to have as little
prospects or business as Delta, but
during the next two years. the Gunni-
son tunnel work had progressed very
satisfactorily and the business men of
the town woke up to the fact that with
a little push and publicity Delta would
be one the best towns in the state.
Accordingly strong business men s
association was formed which began
Immediately to set forth the advan-
tages of the town and county, and as
consequence people began to come in
and the improvements began.
Today Delta has some of the finest
and most substantial buildings on the
Western Slope and more going up all
the time and their population has nearly
doubled during the past couple of years.
They now have one of the finest post
office buildings and fixtures to be found
anywhere in the state in towns of SINH
lar and even larger size Other big
improvements are being planned and
Delta promises to be one of the best
cities in this part of the state.
This rapid growth is not alone true
of Delta but of the entire county and
every section in it, And the coming
s INNER promises to eclipse any years
growth of the past. Cedaredge is not
in anyway behind the progress and as
soon as our railroad is assured we will
be at the head of the list for with this
improvement the work to be done is
beyond all present estimates. Cedar

A re adjus ment of the Tariff once in

Grated as necessary means for the
prevention of inequalities and excesses

perpetual uncertainty and chronic

rargement of business due to Tariff
changes is bad enough once in decade.

sented by all classes, and if Mr.. Taft's
idea Is not adopted it will be simply be-
cause of the prevalent feeling that

they will win. In case the city

the hope of at least one ward

That the Territory in this ward

the territory in this city is

of them represent the very best

palm them off as news items.

r. X. Frapple ln the Market for L5OO,-
600 Feet Hickory lo1s.

Just q mile north Of town, just above
the Success Brick & Tile Co. is to be
found an interesting little plant that is
OF. industrial Importance to our city and
vicinity. Mr.. F. X. Frappie, owner OF
this industry, manufactures hickory
shafts and wagon poles, and employs a
crew Of about thirty men daily.
The amount invested in this plant ag-
gregates about $1,000 and the weekly
payroll is $350.OO. The plant has q
comfortable boarding house on it's site,
and several small houses are dotted
around the mill. A $4,000 switch runs
out from the Y. & NJ. v. r. r. tracks.
Several wagons are kept busy all day
hauling stovewood to the city, for which
Mr.. Frappie finds ready market price
of $500 per load delivered.
Mr.. Frappie's mill has been in opera
tion for about one year, and furnishes a
ready market for timbermen who are
cutting hickory logs. He announces
that he is in the market for 1900, 900
feet of hickory logs at cash prices. This
encourages the cutting of hickory logs
and enhances the trade of Greenwood,
as the sales are made here and most of
the cash transaction is left with our
merchants.
We are glad to note Mr.. Frappie's
success, and feel the Importance of this
as we'll as other Industries that are
scattered over our hustling city.

COUNTY SOlON'S

Proved to Be . DuSy Session rov the

The Board Of Supervisors consumed

OF Nashville, proved to be the success
ful bidders for the construction of the
new bridge, their contract price bein
$19,SO0, part of which, $4,000, is to be

The halibut fisheries from Dixon En-
trance to the ALASKA Peninsula are both
extensive and productive. The total
value of fish by-products from Alaska
during the past thirty years is prob
ably more than $4,000, ,00o. These by
products comprise whalebone, oil, fer
tilizer, etc. The whaling industry in
Alaskan waters since the first Right
whale was caught on the Kodiak
grounds in 1885 has produced rev.
enue of more than 500, 900. The
fur product Of Alaska, valued at more
than 500, O,000, 900 during Russian occu-
patton, has value Of near 50,0O0, 900
since we acquired the country.
"There are some farms in Alaska
enough to prove that the soil is pro-
ductive and fertile and capable Of sup
porting population Of many millions.
There are more than 5000 acres Of
homesteaded land in the vicinity of
Fairbanks. The great Tanana Valley
is adapted to agriculture. The same
may be said Of the Copper River Val
ley and the Valley Of the susitna. In
brief, all of Alaska south Of the Yukon
is destined to become an Agricultural
country. Why shouldn't it? The lat
itude is similar to the productive re-
gions Of the Scandinavian Peninsula
and the climate in some parts Of this
country is much nilaer than the cli-
mate Of northern Europe; the rainfall
is adequate, and tho soil IL fertile. You
never ate sach vegetables ~ are
grown in the Yukon basin. They have
. flavor that il distinctive, incompar-
able. The quantity Of wild berries that
grow in Alaska is ono Of the pleasing
and surprising features of the country.
There are hundreds Of thousands Of
acres Of fruit-laden bushes which ev-
cry year shed their delicious burden
upon the palateless soil. The principal
varieties Of berries are blueberries.
cranberries, salm0nberries and cur
rants. Bears feast in berry patches and
grow fat. Since we acquired Alaska it's
wasted fruitage would make wine
enough to drown tho sorrows Of the
world. If you do not believe as, ask
the settler who makes jams and jellies
for winter use; ask the Indians of the
Yukon and it's tributaries who gather
the fruit in capacious birch baskets and
enjoy perpetual feast during the ber-
ry season; ask tho Eskimos who go ber-
rying on the tundra and treeless hills
of Northwestern Alaska and preserve
the fruit for winter use by soaking it
in seal oil and filing great sealskins
with the savory (?) mixture.
"Not many persons know that there
is very promising livestock industry
