A RANK SLANDER.

Colorado is the most be-
nighted state in the union today.
There is an utter absence of
brotherly feeling that exists in a
community where generation
after generation of families live
and die in the same community.
It is everybody for himself and
the devil for the hindmost. No
body seems to feel any kindness
or brotherly love for his neigh
Dor. Suffrage is leading the
women to a lower plane and this
spells anything but success. -
Richard M. Barry.
The above is a rank SANDER
yes, bunch of them.
Colorado people are plain and
independent. There is less fawn-
ing and less hypocricy among
them than among the people of
the East or Middle States. They
may not waste their time slobber-
ing over each other, but if there
is a case of need or distress, no
people will more quickly rush to
aid. They are full of life and
energy, are public spirited ard
as honest as any. AS for suffrage
leading the women to coarser
life, that is equally untrue. Mr..
Barry should have taken time to
get acclimated or, he might have
taken something for his liver.
Most people who come to Colo
RADIO and remain for a year or
two. like the state, the people
and the conditions sufficiently
we'll as to make them wish to
remain.

The INDEPENDENTS list is now
jumping upward with very salts
factory leaps. While much of
this is due to the prize subscrip-
ton contest in progress. the good
will generally felt toward the
paper goes far to make this
possible. AS a means to the end
sought, to secure for the INDE-
PENDENT the large circulation it
desires and needs, this contest
was put on. The paper works
all the time for the development
and betterment of Delta county.
The more people it can represent
the resources of the county to
each week, the greater will be
its influence and benefits. The
present campaign for subscribers
should and we hope will double
its circulation.

Fruit crops are better pay at
three-fourths of a crop. and often
at half a crop, than when there
is a full crop. Providing that, as
is generally the case. the crops
of other sections have been
equally or to a greater extent
shortened. The half or three
fourths crop does not need thin
ming so much and the fruit attains
better size and flavor, while the
lesser yield in number of boxes
or crates, raises the price and
makes an equal or greater value
in the fruit than there would
have been in a full crop.

At the present time there is
less need of politics than there is
of common sense effort to main
tain conditions and secure a
continuance of prosperity. This
country has had a long siege of
good times. Something in the
line of Eeverses might come, but
such an event is more likely to be
precipitated by the people losing
their heads over crazy political
enthusiasm than because even of
crazy finance. Cool-headed bust
ness thinking is the best safe
guard of good times, and every
man, regardless Of his occupation,
can do his part of the thinking.

fed over the outcome. The be-
lief was expressed that all other
roads outside the western trunk
lines. whose representatives
entered into the agreement today
will abide by the agreement.
The conference h as caused
President Taft to take an even
greater interest than heretofore
in the fate of his railroad meas
ure. It has been practically
settled that the bill will go into
conference between the house
and senate. The president is
very anxious that this be done,
in order that the section which
gives the interstate commerce
commission power to investigate
and suspend increased rates de-
sired by the railroads are actual
ly necessary.
The insurgent Republicans and
Democrats in the house are will
ing. to accept the senate Ill. as it
stands, and thus avoid a confer
ence, but the regulars insist that
the bill needs smoothing out.

Some pretty stiff breezes have
mingled with the warm weather
of the past week. These have
relieved the pressure a little and
have also transferred some soil
from place to place. A shower
now and then would help still
more. However there is an
abundance of water now for all
bitches that are fed either from
the Gunnison or Uncompaegre
and the Surface Creek supply is
also good.

A CLOSE CALL.

A very serious accident was narrow
ly averttd on train No. 8 yesterday
afternoon. A Mrs. McNalley of Sibley
la. who had been visiting at Wash
burn. came down Wednesday after
noon with two little children to take
the train for home. She boarded the
train just as it was about to start
and the five year old girl in walking
through the vestibule had it's foot
caught between the two cars and was
unable to extricate it. The train was
stopped and started again in order to
release the foot. There was consider
able excitement for a few minutes as
bystanders thought the child's leg and
food would certainly be crushed be-
fore it was released AS it was it was
badly bruised and the child suffered
much while it was being dressed by
DR.. f. r. Smyth. the company sur
geon. The carelessness of some of
the employees was responsible for the
accident, as the cape usually placed
over the opening between the cars
was not in position. There was moth
ing to prevent any person who was
not on the lookout from being caught
the same way. 1t was just luck that
the matter was not more serious.

We heard a few people kicking
about the state. Upon investigation
we find that they have always been
poor people although they lived in
better states than North Dakota"
They never had homes till they came
here. They have better health here
than they ever had. They can move
in as refined and cultured society as
there is in the United States if they
choose to do so. What more do peo-
pie want? The people make the state.
Our person is but small part of the
great state of North Dakota, but if
each one of US appoint ourselves a
committee of one to build up and ele.
vate wherever we can to be sure the
results will show in the states i'm
provement along all lines.

THE FIRE At STEELE.

| Dawson Leader: The WehlitZ De
partment store at Steele was burned
| to the ground Sunday afternoon be
tween S and o'clock, with practically
all its contents. Scarcely anybody
was passing the place in the afternoon
all the men nearly being at the bal
field watching Driscoll and Steele
play.
H. E. Murray, who was not well
enough to attend, walked over to
Broadway, and when near the drug
store corner noticed flames through
the rear side windows Mr.. Darling
was also passing at that time, and
gave the alarm, the former going to
the grounds. The crowd among whom
was Mr.. Wehlitz, was soon on the
spot. but little could be done to save
the property.
BY this time Mrs. Webitz and five
or six children had beet conducted
down the outer stairway from the Sec
ond floor. and little Carl, aged about
six, was not among the number. His
father thought he might have gone
down into the store, and sure enough
the boy was found at one of the front
entrances. looking through the glass.
When the door was opened the hot
smoke made Mr.. Wehlitz recoil as he
was about to enter, and Sam Pudgett
who was with him, got down on his
hands and knees and secured the little
child.
BY the wind being light from the
north is was possible to save the old
bank building. used as a -four room,
the brick wall next it keeping the fire
from it.
In about an hour the roof fell in.
ward. This was fortunate thing, for
the heat was getting too great to per-
nit those who were on the roof of the
Weum building to endure much longer
and line of lawn hose attached to a
pump block away had been doing
good work in the hands of various
members of the Driscoll ball team,
who had promptly taken hold in a
body to help head off a general fire.
The boys undoubtedly did the job for
had that building not been kept from
the flames, every one in that row
would have gone.
AS it was the cornice of the drug
store caught, while burning shingles
were carried two blocks, igniting a
hay stack at Sheriff Darling's resi-.
dence, as also one at the rear of the
M. E. parsonage, the latter blaze being
put out by the ladies of the house.
Several times fire caught among the
trash in the rear of the pool room,
restaurant and meat shop, and the
circus paper on Kist's barn blazed I'D.
There were watchers for all these
dangers, however and a bucket bri-
gade was kept busy. and it was the
case that the nearest wells were
half block and more away.
The loss on the stock and build
ing will be heavy, as it is stated the
formers value was $4,000 and in
surance $4,000, while that on the
building is not yet learned.
The latter could hardly be replac-
ed for less than $4,000 or $1,000. A
handsomely finished and fitted home
in the second story had been prepar-
ed and everything was wiped out.
