Ne,D Rock Tunnel Machine.

In the New York Central Railroad
excavation at New York for the new
station, recently. a new rock cutting
device which works without blasting or
drilling, has had a successful test. The
The new machine is the joint invention
of E. S. Terry of New York and o. S.
Proctor of Denver. 1t Is operated by
compressed air and weight about fif-
teen tons. The head of the cutting
surface is feet in diameter and has
four connecting arms upon which
twenty-five rock-clipping rills cut while
the head rotates. The broken pieces
of rock are picked up and carried back
by belt conveyor to a car at the rear
of the machine. In this way the ma
chine cuts from 25 to 75 feet into solid
rock in day, according to the hard
ness of the material. The drills strike
from 400 to 500 thousand pound blows
a minute each. The face of the rock is
sprayed constantly with water to keep
the dust down and tn tools cool.

The boys had been swimming" at the

ing stick up stream which Warren
would catch as it came down. This
time the stick was a little farther out

was caught by the rolling water and

other boys, three in number and all
younger than Warren. watched their
companion until his body disappeared,
then ran home and gave the alarm.
Every effort has been kept up to
recover the body but so far without

hope is waning, as both the Uncompah-

sincere sympathy of all and scores have

The 4pple Shorp.

C nsiderabie interest is being mani
fest in the proposed apple show to be
held in Denver in December. 1t would
be good thing for the West to have
such an exhibition. even if it is open to
international competition, for il our
growers win the prizes-as they
should've will have the glory and a
lot of good advertising. Such show
will doubtless do much in an education
al way to fruit growers, who. like any
man in any vocation, have always
something to learn. Everything that
can in reason be done to encourage the
big apple show should be done.

iolai @SSSsl
The above estimate was made by
three of our most conservative fruit
growers and does not include any of
the Crawford country and not all the
ranches about Hotchkiss. This will
make $50 cars of apples added to the
1866 cars of peaches will run out total
up to ili6 cars of fruit With the
fruit from the Crawford country added
to this amount it will bring the grand
total of cars shipped from Hotchkiss
this season up to about 400 cars.
The question of help was taken up
at the meeting and it was decided that
each grower who was a member of the
organization would sign contract for
the amount of help he could use and
the contract would state the length OF
time the help would be used and also
the amount paid for help. 1t is thought
that all the help necessary can be Sc
cured in Pueblo and Denver and that a
low rate on the railroads can be se-
cured for the people who come here to
work in the fruit.
Help will only be furnished to the
growers who are members of the associ.
alton and to become a member it will
cost each one of them one dollar. A
committee is out this week soliciting
members.
Another meeting will be held in the
opera house tomorrow afternoon and il
is important that every grower in the
county be present and become actively
interested in the work. 1t means the
saving of many dollars to each and
every one. North Fork Times.

Perfection of Development.

The perfection of development in
these valleys will come when the coun-
try is all cut up into small farms of
ten, twenty and forty acres. Ten acres
may not seem enough, but forty acres
is certainly plenty, even for diversified
crops. In many sections of the country
ten or twenty acres would appear an
insignificant farm, but when it is under
stood that such land here may be in
fruit that will yield $500 to $1,000 an
ecre in a crop, it is quite little enter
prise, and the owner may have to en-
ploy more help to take care of his crop
than would the one with two-hundred
acre grain farm. But the more farms
we have on the Western Slope the
more people there will be, and the
greater will be our harvests of all pro-
ducts.

will Delta Get Her Share?H
is the Principal Question
to Consider Here.
Vast Sums to Be Spent in New
Construction---We May Get
a New Road By the
Proper Effort.

Previous to E. H. Harriman's recent
departure for Europe, one of his last
and most important acts was the sign
ing of orders setting aside five million
dollars for railroad construction in
Colorado.
While it is not known, and perhaps
is not likely, that any of this money
will be spent in the Uncompahgre
Valley, this incident serves as a sample
of the enormous expenditure now being
made for railroad construction in Colo
rado, and, in fact, the entire West.
1t demonstrates that if any communi-
ty can prove to the great railroad
systems that line would be profitable,
that line is almost certain of construc-
ton.
In no part of the State is another
railroad needed as badly as in the
Uncompahgre Valley, and if we are to
Judge by the high passenger and
freight rates and the constant increase
in travel and shipping. such a line
would prove immensely profitable.
One of the most tangible propositions
seems to be that of the extension
of the Colorado & Southern from Bald
win by gentle swing d"wn the
AnthraciteaValleyt to Somerset. thence
following an easy grade parallel to the
Denver G. Rio Grande into Delta. p iss-
ing through Paonia. Hot chkiss and
other towns, as illustrated 10y TIE map
herewith. The Colorsd, & southern
is said to be thinking favorsbly of this
proposition now, and if sufficient pres
sure were brought to bear by our
prominent and influential citizens; if
the immense amount of traffic awaiting
this line were shown. and the matter
presented from the financial side, the
building of this line would soon be
found in something better than the
distant future.
i The additional construction of cut
off from Somerset to Buena Vista,
which would surely follow, would re-
duce the distance from Delta to Denver
by half as now travelled.
In other parts of the State, railroad
construction is active. The Western
Pacific has closed options and deals for
$500, 600 worth of terminal lands and
properties in Fort Collins. The line
now being built to La Sale will be ex-
tended direct to Fort Collins and later
build to connection with the main line

He Held Her Hand.

A certain young man of Hotchkiss,
no names mentioned of course, was
calling on his best girl the other night
They finally reached that stage of the
proceedings when both sat on the par
lor lounge and said sweet nothings.
Our hero would spasmodically grasp
the girls hand now and then and give it
a loving squeeze, but the inevitable
"kid of the house. had to butt in
and spoil the game, much to our
friends discontinue The small boy
slipped up behind the lounge and sub
stituted his own hand for that of the
girl, while the squeezes went on with
out a stop. We don't blame the young
man for wanting to squeeze her hand,
but We'll be darned if We would stand
a substitution that way.-North Fork

in Wyoming. The company will enter
Routt county and carry out other pro-
jects.
Some of the construction work which
the Union Pacific directors have au-
thorized elsewhere is now under way.
The full outline of the various projects
so far developed include the construc-
tion of the Pleasant Valley and Crow
Creek lines out of Greeley, each twenty
five miles long, and which will require,
including cost of new terminal lands
and trackage fscilities, about 81. 900, 900.
The line now under construction from
Sand Creek, a few miles north of Den
yer. to connection with the Dacona
branch. is nearing completion. This
line will be extended from the northern
terminus of the Dacona branch north
easterly through Hillsboro to La Sale,
making practically double track ser
vice between La Sale and Denver.
This extension will ultimately cost
about $500. 600.
Many other railroad projects are
under construction or contemplated in
various parts of the State. Will Delta
sit silent and miss getting her share?

The New Colorado Wheat.

A severe test was recently given
durum flour by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture when it caused
to be baked 400 loaves of bread, 2G0
from durum wheat -four and 200 from
Minneapolis spring wheat. The loaves
were sent broadcast to people who could
intelligently compare them. and of the
replies received IA per cent gave the
palm to the durum loaves.
Although this durum or mncaroni
flour, as it is often called. is of COM
paratively recent introduction into Colo
RADIO, the growing demand far exceeds
the supply. 1t is made from the heat
and contains the highest quantity of
expansive gluten.
1t is trifie sweeter than the ordi-
nary flour and furnishes rich brown
crusty loaf that retains its moisture
longer than any other loaf. 1t is the
same flour from which the Frenchman
makes his delightful crusty, nutty
favored French loaf and the Italian
uses in making his Incompatible maca-
roni. Thus far the farmers in this
country have only been able to produce
5000, ,000- bushel crop, when one of
200, 600, 900 or 300, coo, 600 is demanded.
Last year from 10000. 900 to 80, 900, 900
bushels of durum flour was used in
Minneapolis alone to mix with weaker
fiours, building them up in that most
necessary requisite of the musclemak-
ing principle, gluten.

Monday night WIS made memorable
at Delta because of the assembling of

At $50 p m. banquet was served
in the dining annex of Odd Fellow $

which the joint session was held, was
comfortably filed with citizens of the
three towns and the business Of the
COMMITTEES was taken up. The pro-
gram committee got To work and drafts d
a very interesting order, which was
afterward read as still incomplete, IT
being intended to secure, If possible,
several additional speakers of national
repute. In this program the first day
will be tunnel opening day, the second
will be Delta day and the third ouray
day. all of which are pr vided with
interesting numbers. Among the
numbers will be: Crop exhibits.
speeches, band concerts. Wild West
shows. frontier and other races each
day, concerts and sresche In open air
evenings, fire company contests,
Payne's Fire Works Displ'y. and with
it all the Western Slope Fair.

stories we're told. with more or less ap-
plication, some perhaps little defect
ed by the hot weather. The evening
being cool and pleasant, however. there
was no especial flow of "hot air. }"
The speakers were eloquent, earnest
and enthusiastic. The greatness OF

home of the red apple. Elberta peach,
the sugar beet and the best potato

addition, our grains, our small fruits,
our vegetables and our melons were
without peer or equal. Our growers
were urged to till carefully, grow per-
feet products and learn the necessity
of packing so as to top the markets.
1t was illustrated how we should keep
our strings out for every enterprise,
look to the shipping facilities of our
immense crops this season assured, and
be watchful of all channels instead of
keeping an eye on n single proposition,
important as that one proposition
might. be.
Before adjournment resolution was
read by Judge A. r. King. asking
Congress that, in the interest of beet
growers and that industry generally.
no change be made in the tariff on
sugar which would adversely effect the
industry. The resolution was adopted
as a Joint resolution favored by the
associations present.

ous and adjourned with bright, hopeful
and enthusiastic expressions on the
faces of visitors and guests.
