Delta County Crop Report.

With the shipping season now
well under way. every week brings
more favorable reports from the or
chards and ranches. Growers who
early in the year thought they
would have little or nothing as they
compared their fruit with the big
crop of last year, are now realizing
that they will have a good crop and
make money, despite their early
fears.
There is so much idveirsfide farm
ing in and near Delta that this sec
tion is not affected by temporary
slump in any one product. This
year it is the potato growers turn
to buy an automobile. With a larger
acreage planted here than ever be-
fore, the crops in fine condition, the
prices are well up and the growers
receiving from 81 to S1.1O for their
product
Although the season has been the
dryest in years, there has been very
little suffering reported from lack
of water, as the ordinary flow of the
bitches has been supplemented by
the water from the Gunnison tunnel,
which is in operation this year for
the first time. The water from this
source will next year bring into cul-
tvation large area of new ground.

Delta A Good Market.

There is much to the producer in
having good towns in county. for
with them he gets good market at
home for much of the stun he may
have to sell. Delta is strong
market for much of the produce of
the farm. While emphatically a
poultry country, chickens and tur-
keys bring more here than is quot
ed for them in Denver markets, and
much of the time the supply is below
the demand. The same is true of
butter. eggs and much of the small
fruit raised. There is not enough
pork raised by half to supply the
home market and beef stock is not
always easy to get. With these
facts before the farmer. he can
easily see how strongly the inter
ests of the home towns are identi-
fed with his own.

lNTERURBAN RAILROAD
BEGINS TO TAKE SHAPE
Engineer Parret Says Cost of Con-
struction VIII BE Very
Light

The Uncompahgre and Gunnison
River Valley Railroad Construction
Company, which is being promoted
by local men is rapidly taking on
shape. Sunday NJ P. Parret, the
widely known engineer who built
the Orient road from Kansas City
to Old Mexico. arrived in Montrose
to look over the proposed route.
Sunday afternoon Mr.. Parret was
taken on an automobile trip by the
promoters of the company to in
spect the Gunnison tunnel and the
south canal in order that he might
see the possibilities of power de-
velopment. Monday Mr.. Parret was
taken over the mesa and down the
west side to Delta where the party
took dinner. returning by river
road
In speaking of the power which
it is possible to obtain from the
drops in the canal, Mr. Parret said;
There is an unlimited supply of
power there to be had at light
cost. l have seen nothing of the
valley and it will be impossible to
say anything yet about the propos-
ed road but there is absolutely no
question about the power supply"
The new road as proposed will
run down the west side of the val
Low ,s-
ton will be made with Delta COM

make a system covering the entire
valley. The estimated cost of the
plant which will be constructed is

necessity to the further develop

C. A. STAPLETON GETS
NOT0RIETY IN VICTOR
Former Delta Clerk Creates .'Some
Smoke" i'm Mining Towns
Society

Under the heading Beau Brum-
mel Leaves Town With Many Small
Bills" the following article appear
cd in the Cripple Creek Times last
week.
"Proprietors of three drug stores
who sold him candy. tailor. who
made him a suit of clothes valued
at $40. restaurant keeper who
furnished the wherewithall to dine
his friends. say they have found
the best four-flusher that Victor has
ever had the opportunity to gaze
upon In the person of c. A. Staple
ton. who was last employed as a
clothing salesman at the May. and
before that was engaged by the
Strauss-Childs Mercantile Company
After the five above enumerated had
listed their complaints against
Stapleton. Mrs. Foster. proprietor
of the Victoria, entered the con-
ference and said she was minus
about $37 for room rent. for which
she held trunk containing few
clothes. And Fred Femmer, local
manager for the Trading Company
has not yet decided whether he is
stung or not as he is only out n
suit case and a ten-dollar check.
Stapleton made quite a dash in
society in Victor. He was the real
hit with the ladies. so the story goes.
He was given the glad hand and
welcomed in. He claimed to Walt
er Stevens. when the latter was out
learning to run an automobile, that
kc owned two automobiles and II
there was anything Stevens wante
10 know about it to Just come and
see Chauncey.' Therefore Stevens
thought him good for three meal
tickets. The restaurant keeper re-
ccivcd n letter yesterday from the
alleged defaulter. saying he would
return Sunday and settle up, but
the restaurant keeper is in doubt.
And the tailor on south Third
street who made the fifteenth suit
for the clerk, is willing to sell his
claim Of $40 at half rate. The three
drug store proprietors who sold
stapleton the candy are hoping 1t
was enjoyed by whoever tasted 1t.
The creditors are hoping Stapleton
will return and make amends. The
accused was given his walking pa
pers from the May for unknown reas-
ons."

No Idle Men.

There are no idle men in Delta
county. If there are idle ones, it
must be from choice. for 1t is one
of the busiest counties on earth
during the cropping seasons. Many
combine farming and fruit growing.
and these are confronted most of
the time during summer and fall
with two and sometimes three crops
at time to be taken care of. Just
at this time beet harvest is on, the
third cutting of alfalfa is to be
looked after. potatoes are to be dug
and apples are to gather and pack.
Through all the season there is a
strong demand for help. and the man
who is willing to work can get plenty
of Jobs at good wages.
