About Fly Rods.

The Field says: ''In selecting fly
rod, price should not be considered. but
quality must be. A cheap rod is abso-
lutely worthless. No one can cast flies
properly with it and it has not the
strength to stand the work Of casting.
No rod is superior or equal to hand
made split bamboo Machine-made
rods wrapped with bright-colored silk
threads are sold very cheaply and are
made to appear like handmade rods.
The appearance is all there is to them,
for they are otherwise worthless for
practical fishing. The strength Of
bamboo is in the enamel; so any at
tempt to build rod by machine
weakens the enamel in the first pro-
cess A steel rod of modest price is
preferable to a cheap one of bamboo.
although it cannot compare with the
high-class, handmade, perfectly bal
anced bamboo rods. Fly rods are also
made of lancewood and Bethabara wood
and many of our Rocky mountain ang-
lers speak in the highest terms of them
but the chief objection in this country
has been their weight and tendency to
lose shape, although they are used very
much abroad

Beaver Increasing.

Beavers have been accumulating in
Colorado to such extent that they have
destroyed property in some instances
and the owners have had to apply to
the game commissioner Office for per-
mits to kill them. Anthony Sneeve, a
cattleman, living fifteen miles up Brush
Creek from Gypsum, in Eagle county,
secured permit recently and brought
in ten hides He built half mile fence
from quaking asps last fall on one part
of his ranch, but as the winter was
long the beavers supply of food ran
out. They sailed forth and found the
aspen fence a tempting morsel. Every
post was cut off close to the ground
and the beaver then cut the rails into
short lengths, slowing these in their
huts until they were ready to eat the
bark. Then they carried the wood cut
and fioated it down stream. Mrs.
Bond, living half mile below Pine in
Platte canon also secured permit to
kill beaver colony on her place. She
planted handsome grove of shade

furnish an abundance of water
for irrigation for wide area of
soil in this region. Wherever
soil and water have met, green
fields and orchards have sprung
from the union, producing fruits
of wonderful size, beauty and
flavor. The fruits of Delta county
are unsurpassed in the country.
Small farms predominate, from
ten to twenty acres in extent.
There is more water than land
in this territory and an irrigated
farm is valuable property for
anyone to till or own. These
orchards that are improved bring
in from $50 on up, net profit

No man nor body of men can
take the place of the right sort
of newspaper as publicity
agent. The newspaper does its
work in a business manner and
to those who read it makes plain
the situation of and facts about
it's community. Its statements
are made upon the foundation of
it's existence. A newspaper has
no licence to mislead anyone, at
home or abroad. 1t is not paid
for doing so and is not interested
in making misstatements where
it knows the facts.

Want a Monroe Doctrine
of Their OUn.

-Inan article in Berlin newspaper
entitled Europe for the Europeans,
Judge Wilhelm Schwarze a prominent
member of the reichstag. points out
what he called "new American peril.
He declares that america is the peril
not only for England and Germany. but
for all Europe. Instead of arriving at
common ways and means for combating
the still latent danger, England and
Germany are preparing to tear each
other to pieces. In order to make the
danger acute, Greater England and
Greater Germany would go to smash
on account of the United States. The
yellow peril is altogether secondary.
Our imperial cousin in America is the
greater danger. The dollar will ami
hilate the shilling and the mart unless
Europe sets up its own Monroe doctrine
of Europe for the Europeans. This
doctrine must eventually take the form
of an economic alliance of all Europe,
including England, otherwise America
will be the oonqueror of the world 8
battle and will exhaust Europe" He
warns England and Germany to arouse
themselves from their egotism and to
stop thinking that the mastery in
Europe's commerce and influence must
go to one or other of them. and says
that no matter which one of them
should win in such a conflict, america
would be the eventual and the supreme
gainer."

There Are Land Bargains
In Plenty Left.

While much land is held at high
figures in Delta county. as good bar
gains can be had here as almost any
where, for. even if what you may buy
with good jld zm ant should cost few
dollars more per acre than at other
places, still the location alone will make
it worth more. That some land may
be asked too high a price for, is likely,
for that is the case in any prosperous
section. But there are also lands
which can be bought at what Trey are
worth and in which the investment of
money is as safe and sure Of profit
through rising values, as at any place
on earth.

off. While this is to be re-
gretted, it ought to be considered
by the exhibitor himself that q
fair is largely a patriotic institu-
tion in his own interest, held for
the benefit of the county, not
only as an exhibit but also as an
advertisement of what it can
produce, and that even if the
premium should not be large
enough to pay him for his trou-
BILE, the privilege of exhibiting
his stock or his produce is worth
something to him financially as
we'll as being a matter of pride
and satisfaction. 1t would be
vastly better for county to
have a fair without premiums
than to have no fair at all, and
even in that case it would be the
duty of the man who had any
thing good or nice to show, to
put it on exhibition. 1t is an ad-
vertisement for himself and his
home.

The fact that there may be
idle men in the land is no index
to prosperity or non-prosperity.
An explanation of idleness which
is more significant is that ma
jority of the idle men who sneer
at prosperity now, would do the
same.at all average times. Most
of them are idle because they
are lazy, dishonest, selfish or in
competent. The world is full of
positions for good men; men who
can work to the benefit of their
employers and their own credit.
The fields, the shops, the rail-
roads, the steamships. the facto-
ries, the counting rooms, every
channel is not only open to them
but is bidding for them. The
man who works and watches the
clock; the one who only serves
time in order to draw his salary.
never giving a thought to study
ing the interest of his employer;
the lazy and incompetent, are
the ones who get dropped from

they become known they stay
dropped. The good worker in
any position who has proven his
steadiness and loyalty, is seldom
without a job, and if some par
ticular misfortune should deprive
him of one he is quickly sought
as soon as his worthiness be-
comes known. In many places
