The Neu Year.

The New Year has dawned, bright
and beautiful.
Up in'o a clear sky the sun rose,
flashing its bright rays over happy and
contented homes.
No clouds appeared to mar the splen-
dor of promise for the new year, 1909.
Out of the records of past are CLEANED
so many successes. so much of great
achievement. in the years ending with

periods of lucky prophesy. The pleas

these epochs as mascot" years.

will prove even better than history has
proven other 9s to be, even since the

our best to make it make good

Bank Deposits of Delta
County Shou Prospenity.

The North Fork Times sums up the
bank deposits of the county as 81, $780,
723.59. OF this amount $3.50, ,s61 81
mere than half-is credited to deposits
in the Delta banks This is certainly
splendid showing for the county, but
the more than million dollars in bank
does not cover nearly the full amount
of accessible cash in the county Large
amounts in additional crop returns are
due, while there is always per-capita
amount of money, floating or idle,
which never reaches the banks as a de-
posit.
The item, however, is one of. the best
that has been published about Delta
county, for an argument that tells un-
denia5ly of dollars on hand, carries the
weight.

Completion n of North
Della Canal in SigkL

A piece of news of special value and
Importance which the INDEPENDENT is
this week able to give, is in the ar
rangements now practically completed
for an unlimited supply Of water for
the North Delta ditch.
A contract has just been let to Smith
and Stephenson of Colorado Springs.
for the building Of huge cyphpn under
Tongue creek. at cost, with other
work necessary to complete the ditch.
of about sl5, 200. The cyphon will be
300 feet in length and will connect
with the tunnel across from the state
bridge, thus completing the waterway
from its source up the Gunnison canon.
1t will be built of reinforced concrete.
The North Delta canal has been
looked upon, and is. without doubt. one
Of the most beneficial of Delta's irriga-
tion projects. The water obtained
from Tongue creek was inadequate to
irrigate the land subject to it, and to
get the Gunnison river water around
that stream has heretofore been a
serious problem. This being overcome,
assures abundance Of cheap water for
irrigating the splendid territory along
the slopes of Grand Mesa. It will add
hundreds Of homes and thousands of
acres to our producing area. The land
to be irrigated has soil without bottom,
and with plenty of water is the most
productive in the county. When COM
pleted the North Delta Canal will be
an asset of at least 100000 value,
which will be but little compared to its
intrinsic value to Delta. President l..
Q. Lewis, of the company. j. E. Hill
man, Judge Burnett and others who
have labored hard for years to bring
this reclamation project to completion
are elated and deserving Of highest
praise for their persevering effort.

SnowfaH Greater Than Average

c. A. Brandenburg, chief observer
for the Denver district of the weather
bureau, says this year beats the rec
ord for any similar period in the last
twenty years in amount of snowfall
since September lst. Up to date 52.7
inches have fallen here. The total pre-
cipitation for the year to date is LII
inches above the average. which is
rather remarkable when it is remem-
bered that this period includes the long
dry spei! of last spring.

Santa Claus more in evidence than at

many gifts piled in snug corners where
no tree had suddenly grown. Then,

Turkeys, geese and other fowl were
plentiful and many of the good things
prepared.
The public entertainments were
happy events. Church, lodge and
family trees arched their boughs at the
joyous shouts of youth and children
while older ones looked on and smiled.
Church services were of the tender
memorial kind, at which Glory to God,
peace on earth and good will to men,
