GIRL ELOPES LIKE
Her MOTHER DID
Mariory Dare's Angry Papa
R0uts Son-in-Law With
Rifle.

When Mariory Dare. of IL East Park
street, ran away and got married. fol-
lowing the example of her parents, she
did not think that a commo ion would
be raised about it. But so many thrill
ing things happened at her home last
night that quiet was not restored
until after her father, Raymond 8.
Dare, had been placed under lock and
key in durance vile in the First pre-
cinct police station.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dare, the father and
the mother, eloped when she was, Il and
he %. They were married in Caldwell
by the Rev. Whitfield Timbrell. That
was some years ago.
Recently Marjory met Eugene L.
Everson, of APT Clifton avenue. She fell
in love with him and there seemed to
be no objection to his calling at her
home until one day when he mentioned
matrimony. Then Mr.. Dare brought
down his fist with an emphatic Mo-
and ordered Everson from the house.
Love Laughed Mt Papa.
But owe laughs at stern papas. Ever
son and Marjory Dare still continued to
meet, although these meetings were far
away from the girls home.
On August Ia they decid d to get
married, and Mariory remembered INV
her father and mother had run off ard
been welded by Mr.. Timbrell. So they
went to Caldwell, and the ceremony
was performed.
Last night Everson and his brids
went to her home. Later Mr.. Dare
came in. His first words We're: Get
out!"
There was no mlstaking who he.
meant. but Everson stood still. Ther'
Mrs. Dare entered into the conveH
ton.
This is my house. she said,
he shall stay here as long as
pleases.
"He Is My H%ushand.'
Yes" interpolated Miss Marjory,
'he Is my husband
She didn't finish the sentence.
"What?" cried her father, getting
very red.
The girl repeated the announcement.
The father ran away and returned with
a hig Winchester repeating rifle. Get
out he cried and Everson did not
need a second invitation. He looked
around for a window, but before he
jumped his bride slipped him out
through the door.
Once out of range, Everson stopped
running and looked for a policeman.
When he found one he had his father
in-law arrested.
In the First Precinct Police Court to-
day Dare was fired $40 by Judge Hahn
and told to act more lovingly toward
his son-in-law

"Let George Do It, "

Under this head the Olathe Criterion
recently had the following:
''If it is not too late we should like
to suggest that George Ash have a
place in the program for the Gunnison
tunnel opening in September. Mr. Ash
is the one man now living in Colorado
who was instrumental in calling the
first Gunnison tunnel meeting, which
was held at Olathe more than a dozen
years ago. In the Ancient Order of
Fathers of the Gunnison Tunnel George
Ash should hold prominent position.
George is some speaker, too, and while
he now lives at Delta, Olathe would
be pleased with any recognition given
him, as he is one of our pioneers.
And there are still others! Delta has
pioneers, who, like A. R. King, took
their lives in their hands to make prac-
tical investigation of the Black Canon
for possible tunnel outlet when the
project which afterwards materialized
was the merest whisper. and at time
when men who were afterward forced
by popular acclaim to become its pub
lie champions, proclaimed that ..any
man who said such thing was possible
or could be accomplished, was a fool or
a knave.
Yes, give the living recognition as
we'll as the dead. The spirit of pro-
gress, like the Nazarine says: Let
the dead bury their dead! Follow mel"
The dead should be thanked in MEM
ory. always: Upon the living the pres
ent is dependent.
All men who favored and worked for
the Gunnison tunnel from its insep-
tion because they believed in it as a
great, beneficial enterprise, are en-
titled to seats of honor at the opening
celebration.

Shacks Being Torn Down to
be Replaced by Substan-
tial Brick Blocks.
Penley Preparing to Build Where
Old Livery Barn Stood on
Main Street.---Delta to
Improve Rapidly.

A. E. Penley has begun tearing down
and moving out the old buildings on
central Main street just north of the
INDEPENDENT building and where the
old Lowe livery barn stood.
On this site he will erect brick
business house 25 by so feet. which he
will occupy with feed, grain and seed
store.
The new building will be begun as
soon as the old ones can be removed
and will be completed this fall.
In this enterprise another step is
taken to replace the remaining old-time
shacks with substantial brick struct-
ures, and every such step adds to the
beauty and modern appearance of our
now rapidly growing City.

by a railway system unparalleled for
train service. Mr.. Flagler has opened
up wonderful possibilities in eastern
Florida. Such men have created large
wealth for their railroads in the course
of few years, but vastly greater
wealth for the settlers whose produce
they have carried to market.
In the northwest the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific have literally
stocked a vast region with farmers
from Europe and the east. They have
spent millions in advei tising the posi-
bilities of wheat in the northwest. In
the southwest wide areas of desert
were peopled by colonies planted by
the Rock Island and Santa Fe. Sage
brush disappeared as if by magic to
make place for cultivated farms of
wonderful fertility. The Union and
Southern Pacific and the Oregon Short
Line have peopled whole states and
actualized the union by bringing into
one huge chain of communication the
producing centers of the west with the
consuming centers Of the east.
Not only did the railroads plsh their
tracks through wide areas of uninhabi-
ted prairie land and then fill up the
country with settlers. but they stood
by these pioneers IN solving the hard
problems of agriculture in an arid soil
far from home. Free seed was dis
/ tributed. experiment stations were es-
tablished, and farmers were taught
what to plant and how. In the south
west the railroads helped the farmer
to fight grasshoppers and drought. In
the northwest they helped him to Sc
iect seed and raise the best wheat in
the world
Efficient train service is no more es-
sential to modern industry than it is to
the fruit and stock raising farmer OF
the far west. Without fast freight
service and refrigerator cars live stock
and perishable fruit could not endure
the long Journey east-and an mex
haustiable market would thus be cut
off. Today a number of main lines
are running fast freight trains at short
intervals almost on passenger schedule.
to enable the shipper to deliver his
fruit in first-class condition and to OBJ

Drainage Reclaimed Lands.

Two steam ploughs have been at
work south of Delta about two miles
and eighty acres of new land has been
broken which will be put in crops.
This is some of the land formerly ef-
fected by seepage and which has been
under tile drainage experimenting. The
soil is of the red loan and it will doubt
less prove of the very best both for
field products and fruits. A large area
in that section is being thus improved.
Instead of having no water it had too
much and ditching became necessary.
Lines of tile have been lain across
considerable areas to a large open ditch.

Few realize how Delta county is
growing.
The following figures explain it as no
words could do:
Increased valuation on railroad prop
erty. sl56.45O.
Increased valuation of all incorpora-
tions including railroads, sl62, TBS.
Increased valuation of county, all
told. S437. e54.
Increased number of schedules over
last year. 33O
Total valuation Of county under as
sessment rules. s.. $50. 4s4. .65.
The above figures can be read by
every citizen of the county with pride
and satisfaction. Three hundred in
crease of taxpayers in a yearl From
$40, 600 to S25, 900 added to county funds
by increased values in a yeari
Under assessment rules of this coun-
ty valuations are low, ranging about
one-fourth the market price or price
asked for property owned. This would
give an estimated value of Delta coun-
" property NJ iIpil tl-s''NfpNS W $ASs
600, 600 at the present time.
But the two important items above
are the increase of $50 taxpayers in
the county within y year and the in
crease in value as returned of more
than half million dollars. This last
item, on the same basis of argument as
mentioned in summing up general val
uation of county property. would read
better than 81, O00. 600 advance in one
short year. which has slipped by with
most of us almost unconscious of the
great. permanent growth our county
was making.
There is no argument, no illustration,
no word-picture which can convey 10
the public SO substantial proof of pro-
gress based upon merit as these plain
figures. They carry with them the fact
that Delta county merits have some
thing more back of them than mere
talk: something that forces growth in
spite of times or conditions.
Behind the claimed resources of the
county is the output from those re-
sources. That is what is raising values
and adding new people. That is the
proof of merit which none can dispute
and which the public recognizes.
With that backing you could not
keep people out of Delta county if you
had cannon mounted at every border
section corner.
