GROWTH WHICH.
MEANS MUCH
MERITS OF DELTA ASTONISHING
TO VISITORS.-PREDIC
MUCH FOR US.
Intensive Cultivation Will Make Of
Delta County A Mass of Produc-
tive Industry Not Equaled
by Any Other Portion
of the World.

The developed and undeveloped
riches of Delta county continue to
impress all visitors.
Said the leader of a tourist party
last week: Il doubt if many of
the RESIDENTS of Delta county real
ize the marvellous possibilities of
its future. l have never before Wis
tied a section where intensive cul-
tivation can accomplish SO much;
have never before made observations
in a field whose future prospects
promise to realize more than the
most visionary dreams have pic
tured."
And as time goes on the evidence
grows more binding. The truth
which has been delved from the
earth and matured in our bright sun
shine, has been lifted by the winds
of publicity and carried to the pub
lie.
1t is being demonstrated that very
few statements have been exager-
ated, and that even these may be-
come underestimates in the face of
the evidence which future years
shall evolve.
1t has been hinted that our val
ley farms and orchard lands were
being over-boomed. If this state
ment has not already been disprov-
ed it will be by the future records
of this section. Not once only, but
many times, for the procession of
years will go by, each revealing the
newborn possibilities, until the visi-
tor in decade from now will see
in this county, thousands of small
farms, each with its contented
family, with electric lines ira
versing it everywhere.
Great as is the present. much
greater will prove the future of
Delta county.

Mesa County Virtually Wins" the

Colorado won the Gernor silver tro'
ply at the National Horticultural
Congress for the best box of COM
mercial apples with box OF Rome
Beauties, exhibited by II. A. Rich

cred one of the most important
prizes of the show. Colorado also
won the one hundred dollar prize
for state display. North Carolina
won first prize by virtue of added
sub-tropical fruit. Idaho was third.
The Colorado plate exhibit was
heaped with blue ribbons and the
exhibitors are most pleased with the
showing made
1t will be noted that II. A. Rich
ardson mentioned, is the Horticul-
tural inspector from Delta county
and is in charge of Delta county's
exhibit, consequently Delta county
did not have to win by Virtue"

COLORADO FRUIT
WINS IN IOWA
NOT VIRTUALLY" But AS A
MATTER OF FACT BASED
UPON MERIT.
Blue Ribbons and Trophies Gathered
To Our Large and Ever Increas-
ing StOre.-Full List Not
Received Up to Going
to Press.

Great as was the winning sweep
vious big show, that at the present
one is broader and more numerous.
There comes also much gratifica-
tion with the fact that Colorado,
two counties of the Western slope,
have this year captured nearly all
the apple prizes at the Council
Bluffs. Iowa, great Exposition. and
have done 1t against a handicap of
seasons.
At the other Council Bluffs show
the Colorado exhibitors had a
much greater crop to select from
than this year. while the north
western states had a shorter yield.
This season those states have their
full crop and have been inclined to
sneer at Colorado.
The remarkable verdict is flashed
over the wires that three counties
of the Western Slope have taken
more premiums than all the balance
of the United States; that Delta
county has taken the prize on Stay
man Winesaps away from the Stark.

mated this variety: that Spitzen-

these counties swept the blue rib

The judges were of the most ex-
pert on apples to be found In the
United States. The dispatch says:
I'm every case where there was any
doubt, the splendid flavor. juiciness
and texture of the Colorado apple
won the day"
The apple show at Council Bluffs
did much before to attract interest
and attention to Western Slope

The Western slope. in the fruit

the effect that the company has en-
tered on thoroughly mapped out
campaign TO Increase the consumption
OF Kerosene in European countries and

IN part:
The Standard oil company has In.
augursed a campaign to increase the
worlds consumption OF refined oil
The level OF prices for refined oil to-
day In the United States Is lower than
at any time during recent years. and
as direct result OF these prices the
consumption OF refined oil in this
country is increasing. The same pol.
Icy is now being actively pursued
abroad"
As indicated by this statement, the
standard company began trying out
the policy OF lower prices in the
United States. though without an
