is EXERCISED OVER TAX
THAT is PLACED ON TEA

New York, March 1S--Sir Thomas
Lipton's representative in New York.
w. A. Melam, is considerably exer-
cised over the recommendation In the
tariff bill submitted to congress yes
terday, placing tax of eight cents a
pound on tea imports from producing
countries, Tea has become a neces-
sity." Mr.. Melville says, "and has
ceased to be a luxury. IF the tariff
should be imposed as proposed. he
thinks that the cost to the consumer
will advance at least ten cents a
pound. AS a-result, he predicts that
cheaper tea will be used. and that the
consumption will be greatly decreas.
ed.
Tea importers generally declare that
the new schedule will not stand. The
National Coffee & Tea association Will
take immediate steps TO fight the pro.
posal, and their main argument Will
be that the burden will fall on the con-
sumer rather than on the dealer. The

AHuent Delta County People
Spend Winters abroad.

1t is quite fad for Delta county
people, as soon as they reach the stage
of affluence, to spend the winters either
in California or the South. This is not
particularly because the winters are
unpleasant in this county, but more for
the sake of a change and rest after a
hard seasons work. and it is good
thing, where people can afford it. With
the fruit growers, particularly, it is
ea>y, after a successful season like the
present. All the orchards and homes
require is little care and watching.
and in some cases three or four neigh
bors club together to employ man to
look after their properties through the
winter. In the spring they return with
new vigor and greater interest in their
/, work. This week eighteen people left
Paonia for California. A citizen, not
ing the departures, remarked: You
can tell when a farmer or fruit grower
gets his mortgage paid off; he immedi-
ately hikes out for California to spend
a winter"
Winters in Delta county are mild.
just crisp enough to be healthy, and it
would no doubt do California people
fully as much good to spend winter
here as for Delta people to do SO in
California.

Mrs. VIM. Reed of Rogers mesa left
Tuesday morning for Colorado Springs.
We are unable to state whether or not
she will return here or make her home
at that place.
Mrs. Mildred Anderson, county super
intendent of schools. was in Hotchkiss
this week on one of her rounds. She is
very favorably impressed with the
work being done in the local schools.
Sheriff Williams was in town the first
of the week returning to the county
seat Tuesday morning. He tells us
there is no truth in the report published
in the Denver papers to the effect that
he had captured Mrs. Guinness. the
famous Laporte. Indiana, murderess, in
Delta last week.
