Challenge to Tomato Duel.

Six of the most valiant tomato fight
ers to be found in the ranks of the
Delta County Business Mems Associa-
ton have challenged every business
mems organization on the Western
Slope for tomato battle royal to be
held at the Delta county fair on Sept.
15. No name has yet been selected
for the team, but thus far ''Delta
Daredevils" is first choice.
Every man chosen for the Delta
team is confident of winning a CORY
victory and those who may be inclined
to accept the challenge will hesitate
when they read the list of names. Dr.
A. H Stockham, captain. and the other
warriors are w. P. Dale, Mayor B. p.
Smith, Judge Porter Plumb, Judge
Milton Welch and T. X. Seaton.
The rules of the combat are simple
but the carnage is awful. The con-
testants, dressed in white suits, are
placed on lines thirty feet apart and
each man is given basket of tomatoes
that are thoroughly ripened. The team
that first drives its opponents off the
mark is declared the winner. A good
sized purse has been hung up for the
victors and the Delta men say that the
money is as good as theirs already.
If Paul Wilson and any of the Hotch-
kiss cohorts, or Merle Vincent and the
Paonia braves. X. w. Curtis and his
scrappers from Cedaredpe or any bus-
mess mems team in the county or on
the Western Slope, for that matter,
cherishes any delusion that victory can
be wrestled from Delta, now is the
time to announce it. If more than one
team wants to come in Delta will take
them all on. Who dares take up the
challenge?

Smoke Kills Three in
Liberty Belle Mine.

During storm at Telluride last Sun
day afternoon lightning struck a wire
and burned out the transformer fuses
in the Liberty Belle mine, setting fire
to the timbers with which they We're
connected and filling the mine with
smoke. Six men We're working in the
mine at the time and three of them
were suffocated, while the other three
We're near death when taken from the
mine. The dead were James Morris,
Vallen Fossen and Gamer Corobo.
Morris could easily have saved himself
but tried to save the others, who had
weakened under the strangulation. He
carried two of them to a place of
safety and went back again TO help the
others, but was overcome and lost his
own life.

Moving of Big Crops

The moving of another big crop and

Grand Army Encampment
Has Big attendance.

The crowd of G. A. R. men at Salt
Lake this week met all expectations as
to numbers and the veterans attending
are reported to have enjoyed themselves
to the fullest. Old acquainrances,
friends and companions who had not
met before for years were thrown to-
gether at this encampment, resulting
in hearty hand clasps and the telling of
many reminiscent stories of the days
when comrades stood side-by-side fac
ing the rain of shot and shell.
Colorado sent one of the largest
delegations-sO0 or more veterans-to
this encampment and Delta county
contributed its full proportion.

Quit Knocking and
Go to Boosting.

We once saw an Irishman brought
home in an almost helpless state of in
toxication in wheelbarrow. Immedi-
ately after his arrival his wife appeared
on the scene. She was a husky woman
and appeared with her sleeves rolled
up, a rolling-pin in her hand and fire in
her eye. She at once began to belabor
her drunken spouse with the rolling
pin. Pat succeeded in raising his head
from its position of hanging over the
barrow, when he exclaimed: "Quit

No Boom in Values, But In
creased Activity Is Pre-
dicted for Autumn.
Only the Man Who Figures Per.
centage on Basis Of Production
Realizes Actual Value
of Delta Lands.

Realty deals over the county are in
creasing somewhat and while the rec
ord showing averages $50. 600 or $40,
GOO a week, the sales from now on
Throughout the year will run consider
ably ahead of the record readings On
farm lands and improved orchard prop
ositions there is hardly to be expected
a special boom for tire reason that so
many people do not understand the
real values of such properties. Natur-
ally glimpse at the loaded fruit trees
should convince them. but when told
that an orchard is valued at $1,000,
$1,000, or $1,000 an acre, only the busi-
ness investor who is capable of sitting
down and figuring results, comprehends
that it has that value.
There are enough, however. who do
understand the value of such property
to make a steady trade and as good a
market as is required ST desired. Most
of our well fixed farmers and orchard
lists are not clamoring to sell. They
know, better than anyone else, just
what their property is worth. and there
is no reason why they should sell at
any bodys request or for whatever any
one might be willing to offer.
The large returns possible from
Delta county lands, however, have
spread their fame and inquiry about
them is heard in every city, where men
with money are looking for good, safe
real eatate investments.
= With this condition prevailing and
our splendid crop showings this year,
there is the best of reason to expect
strong activity-just the right kind of
healthy buying and selling all
property lines this fall and winter.

Some Of those who are so sure thai
the duty on wheat is great benefit to
the American farmer roint out that
some years ago, when the duty was
lower, wheat was selling for 40 cents
a bushel in the Red River Valley.
Quite right. And now We have a
higher duty, and wheat is worth a
dollar and a quarter, more or less.
The peculiar and altogether incompre-
hensible thing is that the raising Of
our duty should have raised the price
of wheat, not only here, but in Winni-
peg, in Liverpool, and everywhere
else. But then it has been stated that
with a good stiff duty the hens lay
larger eggs, which is almost as wond-
erful.-Grand Forks Herald.

A FREAkISH STORM.

The Stephen Leader for last week
tells Of freakish storm of cyclonic
nature that swept over the northern
part of the county on Saturday night
over Pa buildings were completely
demolished and large number Of
others damaged by being twisted in
one direction or moved few feet
from their foundations:
Among those who lost by the
storm was Andrew Fodstad whose
house, barn and granary were COM
pletely destroyed and pieces of the
different buildings were found over a
mile from where the buildings stood

ure of the Lundquist barn and leaving
the horses tied to their manager with
out injury, and another where it took
the barn on the Frank Goodwin
place and picked it up and set it down
again feet from it's original situa-
ton. Among those whose names we
secured who had buildings wrecked
are J. H. Meloney, Peter Mjoberg, J..
Brosdahl, Geo. Fank, J. Very and Pete
Hoyum; at the latter place the storm
picked up the barn and lifted it right
over the top Of the granary and set
it on the opposite side.
There were others whose buildings
were destroyed or partially wrecked,
but we have not obtained their names.
The storm did not stop with buildings
but wherever machinery, buggies,
wagons or other implements were out
doors and in it's path it picked them
up like egg shells and literally tore
them to pieces. So far as we learn
no person was injured by the storm;
the only one who had thrilling ex-
perience was Chas. Peterson, who
states he was picked up and carried
about ten rods and landed on his
knees. Aside from a good shaking
up he was uninjured. No serious
crop damage has so far been report.

NOTHING is HEARD
OF GEORGE MEYERS

Without the slightest idea as to
where George Meyers. the slayer OF
the late police officer, Tom Eckhart,
is at the present time, the sheriff's
Office here is patiently waiting for
some olew, even so slight. 20 come
to hand and give them another op-
portunity of getting into action.
Since Meyers was seen the last time
at a place near Jefferson, the au-
thorities have not heard anything,
and are completely in the dark as TO
the fugitive's whereabouts.
Sheriff Mimic is as much alive on
the case as when the AFFAIR first oc-
CURED. and he is doing everything
in his power to apprehend Meyers.
Situated throughout the county are
men with personal instructions from
the sheriff to keep a close watch in
their district. and be as quick as pos
sible in informing the once should
Meyers show up at any time.
j. l.. Combs has not been heard
from by either Sheriff Minto or MIL
ton and Henry Meyers. but It is
thought that ne is still at Silver
Falls. The officers do not think that
Meyers is at or near Silver Falls.
but there is a possibility OF his re-
turning TO that place.
The $1,000 reward posted by the
state and the s1OO offered by Salem
men does not seem TO attract the at
tentiOn Of the Portland criminal
hunters. although they are keeping a
close lookout in and around Port
land for Meyers.
