From the Delta County Democrat
One cannot help but realize the fact
that Delta is soon to lose all ofthose
rural ideas in business, in things in
general, and will take on that which
is strictly metropolitan. Already
our stores are taking place with the
best in the land and you can now
find many that are up-to-date in the
strictest sense the term implies. One
of these il the Roy l.. Emry company
furnishing goods store on Main
street which has just been equipped
with mission furniture and fixtures
throughout and is as perfect model
of neatness as can be found any
where In the west.
Messrs. Jack and Tom Gale who
have been engaged I'm the grocery
and furnishing goods business In
this city for twelve or fourteen years
past, and one Of the most popular
mercantile firms in the city, by the
way. have just concluded to give up
their part in the business circle of
Delta and the stock was sold to the
Meyer Mercantile company on Mon
day. A sale was at once instituted
by the new owners and at its con-
clusion what remains OF the stock
will be removed from the room in
Odd Fellows building occupied by
Gale brothers for some months past,
to the Mercantile company's store n
little distance south. Tom Gale who
has had charge of the stock and bus
iness just sold, is now largely inter
ested in horses and cattle and viii
give much of his time and attention
to these interests. He and G. w.
Cunningham purchased the famous
Silsby horses a few months ago and
will become breeders and dealers In
good drivers and trotters.

The time has now arrived when 1t
is absolutely necessary that some ef-
fort be made to get sewer system
for Hotchkiss. There is not IA resi-
dent in the town but is well aware
OF the need OF the sewers, and we be-
that the end Of the year would see
the completion Of a drainage system.
The cost OF such a system is not so
great but what the town could
stand it and even II the cost is large,
is it not worth while to consider the
health of the.people?
