GREAT RUSH OF PEACHES
CAUSES MARKET FLOOD
Sudden Rush From All Peach Grow
ing Sections Over Supplies
the Demand.

In a year when better prices were
expected. peach growers are up
against a flooded market and a 40
cents per crate price.
Hundreds of carloads -aggregat-
ing thousands of carloads have
poured into the market centers dur
ing the past two weeks from all the
peach growing districts of the Unit
ed States. until there can hardly
be said to be a sale for any except
strictly fancy.
or course this deluge of peaches
will be of short duration, as most
of the pack has already left the
orchards. Delta county's pack, ex-
cept from the scattering late or
cept from the scattering later Or
chards, will be finished this week.
The disappointment is very heavy
for those of the growers who expect
ed much better returns, some of
whom, earlier in the season. had
figured on as much as dollar a
crate.
Market conditions aer, however.
hard to foretell. Last year it was
the reverse. growers of fruit receiv-
ing much more than they expected.

Delta County Fair.

The Delta County Fair opens on
next Tuesday and will continue for
four days.
The Independent hasn't seen pre-
gI am, but suppose it will be along
the usual line of races, exhibits and
amusements.
With the good crops this year
the fair ought to be a success as
great as last year at least. and all
exhibits equally good. With the
large amount of travel over the
country at present, visitors from
all directions should be attracted
and benefits reaped from know
ledge of resource and production
shown in the exhibits.
There is no reason why Delta
county should not this year put up
one of the best county fairs in the
state.

COMING MANY TWENTlES
IN THE DENVER MINT
Ordered to Turn Out 5000, 900 Daily
Until Demand For Export Pur-
Pose is Supplied.

Due to the demand for gold coin
for export purposes, the treasury
department has ordered that the
Denver mint after next Monday, coin
100000 worth of twenty dollar gold
pieces daily until the situation can
be relieved by the issuance of gold
certificates.
During August the Denver mint
was busy coming $40 gold pieces
and 25 cent silver pieces. In that
month sS65.OOO was coined of the
larger coins. and 900 was
coined in quarters. No extra force
will be employed during the extra
coinage of $40 gold pieces.
The government plans. according
to dispatch received at the mint,
to suspend gold coinage for an in
definite period as soon as gold GER
tificates can be issued to cover the
bullion stored in the mints. 1t is
believed that 100000 to 100000
a year in mint expenses can be saw
ed in this manner.

W0LBERT CHOSEN GRAND
CHANCELLOR OF STATE
Delta Man Honored at Meeting of
knights Of Pythias Grand
Lodge at Boulder.

II. II. Wolbert of Delta. will be
Grand Chancellor of the Colorado
Knights of Pythias for the following
year, was the glad news which came
to the Delta Knights last Friday
from Boulder. where he was in atten-
dance at the grand lodge meeting.
This is considered a great honor to
the local lodge as well as to Mr..
wolbert.
The 1911 meeting of the grand
lodge will be held at Canon City un-
til which time the fight on the part
OF Colorado Springs to have that city
named as permanent meeting place
has been deferred. Considerable op-
position was raised against giving
any one town or city monopoly on
the grand lodge meetings.
One of the principal events of this
years meeting was the competitive
drill of the Pythian sisters at the
Elk's home Tuesday evening. Cap
itol lodge No. 81 of Denver. carried
away first prize. a handsome en-
broidered s30G silk banner. while
Fern Temple of Denver, was award
ed the second prize of $50 cash.

Stephan May BE The Candi-
date For State Senate


At the present it looks as though
George Stephan may be the choice
in both Delta and Mesa counties
for float senator on the Republican
ticket
Mr.. Stephan has been importuned
by a number of his friends, both in
this county and Mesa, to make the
race. In reply, he tells them that
he is not a seeker, but if the nomi-
nation comes to him he will do the
best he is able to make strong,
clean campaign.
Asked regarding the prospective
direct Legislative measures ahead
Mr.. Stephan said to representative
of The Independent:
Should / be a candidate and be
elected, l would do my best to
serve the wishes of my constituents,
up to the time when the matter of
United States senator may be placed
more directly before the people,
Mr.. Stephan is well known citi-
zen and a very well known Republi-
can and his friends agree that he
would make a good state senator.

Sections-In Other Sections Not

Another season is rapidly adding
the history of its experiences to the
scroll on Delta county's archives.
and It is a long scroll as usual.
Last year the county had a full
crop of almost everything it pro-
duces-particularly of fruits. Not
this alone. but markets were high.
Farmers and fruit growers received
SO much money as to make them al
most grow careless.
This year we have our territory
diagramed by orchard sections with
lots of fruit: sections with medium
bearing and dotted orchards of hit
and miss.
The answer is in several different
languages. One mans orchard bore
too heavily last year and had to have
rest. Possibly II il had been thin
ned more last year it's record for
quality yield would have been better
and the trees would have had left
more strength for this seasons crop.
This is only a suggestion.
thought which can be thrown out
after the horse is stolen and the

other thoughts along the line of
smudging and spraying which some
one more competent can add.
This year. and 1t seems like every
year. we have our average yield of
field crops. Two cuttings OF alfalfa
have been harvested in fine shape.
through dry. sunny days. Wheat and
oats of about average have not only
been harvested but much of the grain
threshed. Early potatoes have been
going to market for a month or more
and some growers claim their land
has netted them 800 to 1928 per
acre by the growth and sale OF their
''spuds." The sugar beet crop looks
as good as last year or the year
before, while melons and vegetables
crops seem about as usual, consum-
ers being abundantly supplied with
the most luscious and perfect appar-
emily possibly to grow.
All in all the year 1910 will go
to history as n pretty good crop year
for Delta county.

CONFESSED HE STOLE
AMAlGAM FROM MILL
A Woman in the Case of the Big
Amalgam Thcfts at Mill Near
Telluride.

Late developments in the case
of William r. Erwin, who was ar
rested for the theft of 81 400 worth
rested for the theft of $4,000 worth
of amalgam from the Liberty Bell
mill near Telluride. make II the
most peculiar in the history of Colo
RADIO. This week II was learned that
Erwin was to be married to Miss
Anna Wells OF Placerville. She
was taken into custody and $4,000
OF stolen amalgam was recovered
from her. Erwin has been carrying
on his thefts for years, according
to a confession made to District At
torney Logan. He was employed in
the mill as assistant amalgamator
nnd was alone at his duty one hour
day. During this time he had
placed small amount of the prec-
ious stun in his pockets and each
night stored 1t in n secret compart-
ment in his trunk. Each theft only
amounted to $50 or so, but in the
years he operated. the sum of s10,-
400 was accumulated. He made
trip every month to Salt Lake City
to dispose OF the loot. About
month ago he became acquainted
with Miss Wells and gained her con-
sent to marriage. August 23rd the
two went to Salt Lake City to get
rid of a months savings, but upon
their return Erwin became con-
science-stricken and surrendered to
local officers. Previous to this he
had been trusted employee and had
not even been suspected of theft. His
proposition to the company was that
he would repay them for all he had
stolen II permitted to leave the coun-
try. At first 1t was believed that he
was deranged. but an investigation
proved the truth of his assertions
and he was taken into custody. Mis-
Wells was allowed to go free after
S1prrendering the money given her
by Erwin. She is now thought to be
in Denver. Erwin's confession COW
ers ten typewritten sheets.

New Gunnison River Bridge
At Campbell's Switch

On Wednesday the county board
took up the matter of the bridge
so long wanted across the Gunnison
river near Robideau.
The board had been advised to
the effect that unless the appropria-
ton of $3.50 held by the state.
be not used this year, it would be
forfeited. The county has for the
purpose, $1,000, making s10.750 of
the $4,000 estimated cost of put
ting in the bridge.
The board decided to put in the
bridge II the petitioners at Camp
bells siding would make up the lack
ing 1880 and build the approaches.
There has been two sets of petit
TONERS for the bridge location. one
at Robideau and the other at Camp
BELLS switch opposite the J. f.
Moore ranch, mile or so this side
of Robideau. which is claimed to be
so much the cheaper of the sites that
the other location cannot at this
time be considered.
1t is supposed that the Campbeiis
switch petitioners will accept the
proposition of the board and that
work on the new bridge win begin at
a very early day.

Mining Sections Steady.

During a visit to mineral sections
at and near Leadville the past week.
The Independent editor found min
ing progress steady. in some sec
tions there was evidence of great
er industry and activity than usual.
This appeared true at Alma, where
new smelter recently started. In
the districts of that camp there are
more men working. more mines pro-
ducing and more properties develop
ing than for quite a number of

Fruit Moving.

The past ten days have been busy
ones in the moving of the peach
crop.
The North Fork is shippig hun
dreds of carloads of Elberta peach
es and has been employing all the
outside help obtainable in picking
and packing, while considerable ship
ping is being done from other sec
tions of the county.
1t is said. regarding the harvest
of winter apples soon to follow, that
the North Fork section will ship
from 700 carloads up. This should
make the apple shipments OF Delta
county reach so per cent Of last year
which will be better than was ex-
pected early in the season.

Strike Fell Flat.

Much fuss was made by the Grand
Junction News about the terrible
strike at Paonia last week. In a
most blood curdling manner it put
forth the awful loss that was being
brought upon the orchardists and
to the district in general by the
striking pickers. AS we stated last
week, the strike was a farce, and
the following from the Paonia Boost
er will further show the nothingness
of the articles published in the
Grand Junction News:
THE stSike of the fruit workers
this week didn't amount to anything
more than a little furry. The few
agitators who caused the trouble left
town Thursday evening on the even
ing freight train. The whole affair
seemed to be a premeditated propo-
sition. The fellows who struck had
been working over at Palisade. and
seeing the hard time the growers had
over there getting off their crop,
thought they could come over here
and pull off big stunt with a strike.
The fruit growers paid no atten-
ton to the strikers. except to inform
them that they had better hit the
grit as there was no work for them
anyway. The growers did not hold
a meeting. nor did they stand
around and cry for help. The agi-
tators were thus robbed of their
thunder and as fast as possible. the
fellows who really wanted to work,
sneaked of and got jobs The troub-
ie was started before the crop was
fairly moving. thus giving the grow
ers a chance to make all the neces-
sary arrangements TO do without the
walking delegates"
