The young people of the Christian

The new year has started off with
an unusual record of accidents and
fatalities in Colorado, mostly confined
to railroads and mining operations. If
England can run her railroads at greater
speed than the United States, and not
kill a single passenger in a year, it looks
like there is something wrong with our
system.
1t would be dull time indeed when
something was not doing in Delta.
Just as the people all get home from
the stock and apple shows. the home
organization of stockmen gather from
far and near, bringing their wives.
daughters or sweethearts to join in the
festivities of the annual convention.
There is always something doing in
Delta.
Some local activity in the Forestry
matter is reported this week John
Forest, for instance, starts back to
Nebraska today. He advertised for a
man to accompany a car of goods and
two young would-be Foresters of Delta,
ed to go. Mr.. Pinchot's successor was
appealed to but so far has not decided
in favor of the applicants. Both are
capable young men, who could be de-
pended upon to carefully look after the
Forestry interests.
On another page of this paper We re-
publish articles of descriptive resource
from the last issue of the d. & r. G's
Red Book, the best that company has
SO far published. These articles cover
much of Delta county and contain bits
of information which, though many
times before published in extract,
comes from newer writers and is
clothed in nice wording. In an infor-
nation way this sort of matter never
gets old. particularly when so many are
eagerly in search for 1t.

So many subscriptions were renewed
and so many new ones added to the list
of the INDEPENDENT during December
that we feared this department of the
papers business would be dull after
J January LIST. but such is not proving
the case. New subscribers have been
coming in nicely and quite number
who escaped the voting contest have
dropped in to renew or to pay up ar
rearages. On the side the editor is
greatly gratified and encouraged by the
many letters received praising the
paper.
What some people claim credit for
doing once, the home paper does week
aftsr week throughout its existence.
1t doesn't tell its story to sleeping
crowds. but wide-a-wake populace.
What is printed cannot be destroyed
It's the home paper that does the bust
ness. No other paper has the same in
terest or makes the same effort Those
at distance depend more confidently
on what 1.-THE paper on the ground" has
to say about resources and progress,
