The construction of the new con-
crete bridge over Cottonwood Greek
at Billy Balches ranch is now under
course of construction. The exca-
vation for the abutments has been
completed. and the concrete work
will be rushed to completion. This
when completed will be the best
bridge in Delta county. 1t will have
23 foot driveway, and built entire
ly of concrete, it will last as long
as time. We hope this is the be-
ginning of good bridge building in
Delta county.

Confident of Securing Home.

The Odd Fellows of Delta county
still maintain the fullest confidence
that they ii be victorious iE Sc
curing the Odd Fellows home. If
a united effort on the part of the
several lodges of the county, to-
gether with splendid business pror.
osition to present to the Grand Lodge
at their meeting on the goth of this
Iaonth, has anything to do with the
securing of this enterprise for Delta
county, it will come here, for the
local lodges have most fiattering
offer for consideration.
Many other lodges of the West
ern Slope are working for this home
but it is hardly believed that they
can present a proposition of SO
much merit, as the one offered by
Delta. The committee has spent man.
dollars on publicity already and hav
also provided for a further ex-
penditure in the way of a handsome
badge, to be worn by the members
that attend the Grand Lodge, which
ii is hoped will further interest that
body to consider seriously the ad-
vantages offered by Delta county.

Denver Markets.

Denver Union Stock Y ards, Oct. s.
Receipts of cattle were heavy at all
markets last week, the supply here
being very liberal. Further declin-
es from day to day on Eastern mar
kets caused some drop here in steers
though demand was good and a
clearance made daily. Good fat feed
ers and stockers sold at 10 to Is
cents lower for the week, while the
rougher kinds were off about quar-
of all kinds closed 10 to 20 cents
higher as supply was rather light
and demand good. Good to choice
steers brought $4.5O to $3.50 and
good cows sold at $500 to $4.15.
with a bunch of fancy heifers bring
ing $3.50. Fair to good cows sold
sold at SO. to $3.50. Bulls brought
$2.75 to 1896 and veal calves were
higher at $6. to 81. for the best.
Good to choice feeders and stock
ers sold at $4.3O to $500 and fair
to good at 1915 to $4.3O. Stock an
feeding cows at $3.50 to 1925. To-
days market was steady to a dime
lower than week ago at all points.
Prices paid at Denver were higher
than at river markets. All Eastern
markets report heavy runs and low
er prices.
The hog demand was good, but
the prices lower than a week ago.
