Work on Several Splendid
Structures Will Begin
Immediately.
Delta National Bank Block to Be
Finest Yet Erected in City.
"A Year Of Unpar-
alleied Activity.

Plans have been drawn for the new
building to be erected by the Delta
National Bank, and on which work is
to begin within the next month or six
weeks.
This new building will be at the cor
ner of Main and Fifth. 1t will be fifty
foot front by 120 feet deep, extending
back to the alley. two stories. of Delta
pressed brick. The building will have
basement and steam heat.
The bank will occupy the corner and
aside from its attractive entrance will
have elaborate plate glass front and
beautiful canopy windows. The build
ing will have hall way. and office rooms
on second floor.
Turner & Huntley will occupy the
second groundhoor room and have
basement exit and alley entrance.
Stephan & Obert's building will also
be remodeled and built up as part of
the new block.
This is one of the most important
building enterprises Delta has thus far
had in store, as it will transform an un-
slightly corner, one of the most public
on Main street, into one of the most
handsome and conspicuous features of
the city. On the corner opposite is the
big Hillman department store. which
has SO far ranked as the best building
in the city. Facing south is the post
office building, apart of the Cook block.
This is the kind of building enter
prise that talks. 1t is step in present
permancy and points to city growth of
the most modern and advanced archi-
lecture.
And we are glad to note that there
are many other commendable building
plans forming for the approaching
spring and summer.

Local Railroads Needed.

Delta county should have railroads
running all over it. Eventually it will
have. The county must in time become
densely populated, for here a few acres
are enough for the support of family.
There are villages to reach. orchards to
reach, coal mines to reach. people to
carry between towns and to and from
their work, millions of tons of freight
in sight for such roads. They may be
operated by steam or electricity, for
which there is fuel and power at hand.
The railroads will come, but let us get
them as quickly as we can.

Delta Couniy's Big Output

AS the figures come in it becomes
more and more apparent that Delta
county shipments of fruit and other
products for last year were much above
the estimate given out. Proportioning
them to regular carload lots, the num-
Der of cars is increased several hun
dreds, while it is said that 100 cars OF
apples are still held in storage that are
marketable. 1t is now estimated that
this county's total fruit crop of last
year will total fully $500 carloads.
Many of the cars in which apples were
shipped were loaded to almost double
capacity of the refrigerator cars. that
being the only means offered to get the
apples out.

meetings ever held in this city occurred

endor ,ements of the plan outlined were
made in remarks by Judge King, Judge
Stewart. Dr. A. II. Stockham. Prof. p.

A large and interested audience of
men and women were present and
when the vote was taken to organize
more than fifty heartily expressed their
willingness to be enrolled as members
at once. The constitution prepared and

Buys Dana Ranch.

Miss Marie b. Hamil last Saturday
purchased the old Dana ranch on Sur
face Creek. through the Wire Baird
Realty Company of Weyrauch brothers.
for consideration of $1,000. Wey-
rauch brothers had only taken the place
last September but due to their taking
the Miller place last week caused them
to sell the Dana place. Miss Hamil is
from Hastings, Nebraska, and has only
been in Delta few weeks. Just be-
fore moving here. she and her mother
purchased the brick house and peach
plat on Garnet mesa, where they now
reside.
