North Fork valley, is Delta coun-

limit. Her orchards are of the
best and are naturally high in
value. The town has a rare loca.

being piped to supply most of
the farm and orchard homes of
the surrounding country. Paonia

report the high school football team

The football team of the High

After the first few minutes of play
it was seen that Martinsburg was out
cIassed by the home team, and it was
only a matter of time until a large
score would be rolled up. Martins
burg was slightly outweighed, but
their defeat was due principally TO
their inexperience.
The home team started the scoring
when they recovered the initial kick
off and in three p,unges sent Lane
over the line for a touchdown Mason
kicked goal in strong wind. Mar
