About n Paper Mill.

The Grand Junction and Montroso
papers have bene talking about ru-
mors of paper mill for the Wes-
tern Slope. and of course both pla-
ces want 1t too, but in case there
should he paper mill. 1t is a ques-
tion whether or not any of these
towns would get It.
Doubtless the best site for such
n mill would be at some point up
the Gunnison river. where ample
water power could be had, and
where the water is clear.
Such point could be reached
along the Black Canon of the Gunni-
son in close proximity to thousands
of acres of aspen forest, where the
trees range from six to fifteen inches
through and are correspondence
tall. This tree makes very high
grade paper. and is of smaller value
for any other use.

The Carnegie Library.

One of the things that is making
good progress in Delta by the un-
remitting efforts of Delta ladies, is
the Carnegie library project. The
number of volumes so far obtained
is quite large and constantly increas-
ing. all of which is very gratifying
We understand site for the Ii
brary building, has been rendered
at the southeast corner of Court
house park. Palmer and Seventh
streets, which is centrally located
for the city and will be a handsome
as well as a convenient location.
The library. we should have, and
all should take pride in helping to
swell the necessary numb ber of vol
umes to get it. Nearly every one in
town and country have good library
books they could donate. and we
suggest they present these to the
ladies having the matter in charge.

Transfers This Week sIss.ioi.

The consideration in deeds recor-
ded at the county clerks Office in
Delta this week foot up $133.104,
about $4,000 less than the total of
deeds recorded last week. This
footing is ample. however, to keep
up our estimate of half million
of realty transfers per month, which
estimate is proving to be more than
conservative. Sales for almost as
much as the above footing have
been made the past week. the deeds
of conveyance not yet having been

dends which can be expected. based
on the calculations of experts and
factories. are more than double and
almost three times as high as can
be realized from an ordinary invest
ment. and at the same time the ele-
ment of risk is lacking. Any per
son who is Interested can obtain
these figures from the Business
Mems Association. or can hear them
explained at the mass meeting which
is to be held next Monday evening
at the court house.
Everyone who is at all familiar
with conditions in Delta knows that
no better spot could be chosen for
a factory so far as natural advan-
tages are concerned.
We have an acreage for raising
beets which is more than sufficient
for present needs and which un-
doubtedly will warrant enlarging the
factory within few years. Cheap
promised fair treatment in the mat
ter of transportation. and other
supplies are near at hand and can
be secured cheaply.
TIE market for the product is
correspondingly good. More than
three-fourths of the sugar now used
in the United States is imported and
It would take several hundred such
factories as 1t is proposed to build
here TO supply the local demand
alone. There are now a great many
factories in operation wholly inde-
pendent of the Sugar Trust which

price of the product is maintained
by the independent concerns and the
market is more than large enough
for all.
With such a proposition in sight
II should be unnecessary to call on
the people of Delta to wake up and
hustle for the factory. Even though
you may not be inclined or in a po-
sition to subscribe for any of the
stock. taking this action only after
the most careful investigation. The
mass meeting is called for the pur-
pose of getting the proposition
squarely before the whole people
and there should be large turnout.

he enlisted in General Middlecough' s
cavalry, a select body of 1900 men

World Moves, But Its Whirl
Does Not Affect All
Sections Alike.
EFFORT SOMETIMES NEEDED
The Western Slope Needs Many
Things. But Its Wants Will Soon
Be Supplied.-Citizens Must Unite
To Procure Them.-A Few Facts
In the Case.

All things are said to come to him
who waits. But often they do not
come fast enough to suit our impa-
tient dispositions.
A great power company has har-
messed the Grand above Glenwood
Springs. A greater site awaits de-
velopement at the Black Canon of
the Gunnison.
The Central Colorado Power Com
pany has built its towers TO Denver
to compete for Denver's business
and to supply a few mining camps
over the range.
The Western Slope is today hun
CRY for electric power. Its better
towns are lighted of nights by
dinky plants. most of which have
not the heart to tackle a day cur
rent.
Awaiting a generous power supply
are agricultural towns and sections
with machinery to operate, ,manufac-
turies and railroads to build, and
a scattering of the best mining towns
in the state to supply
While erecting its towers to Den
yer, The Central Colorado Power
Company in order to protect it's
business field should have been
stringing its lines over the wes-
tern Slope also, all of which is of
easy access from Glenwood Springs.
That it intends to do this may be
true, but it has already lost val
liable time.
1t must still be remembered that
the greatest power site in Colorado
that of the Gunnison-is still un-
occupied. That too, should have
been equipped before now. With
such a service on the Western Slope
great enterprises that are now only
talked about, would be materiali-
ing as rapidly as men and money
could build and equip them.
1t must be remembered of course
that the Western Slope Empire was
slow in developing. Not because of
lack of merit. for its foundation of
merit has made it what it now is,
one of the richest producing sec
tions in the world. Its develop
ment was slow because of lack of
money and want of attention.
For years its pioneer settlers
worked stolidly TO dig and build in
order to later be able to show the
world what they knew existed here.
They had TO endure the usual hard
ships and submit to the jeers of the
many who saw fortunes in the
mines, and but sage brush in our
valleys. They changed the brush
area into orchards, fields and mea-
dows, brought water on the land
and made of it all a great garden
spot.
They have won their reward. AT
this time the Western Slope does
not lack for either capital or atten-
ton. 1t is growing, some say too
rapidly, but such do not have but
poor understanding of the situa-
ton. One step forward demands
two. We need so many things. and
the more enterprise We can have
among our own people. the more
of these things we will get and the
more quickly We will get them.
We are to build new sugar fac
tory, paper mills. railroads and
have a natural field for many other
enterprises. Our citizenship should
unite not only to invite. but to
plan and work to secure them.

world filed with tears And 1t was
then that the whole thing came to me
and l saw at once what was the other
obstacle l had to face in my attempt
to obtain a fortune for my friend.
Now that Agatha Sixth's mistake in re-
gard to his fondness for Agatha First
had been dissipated by Brancepeth's
revelations, the only impediment to the
satisfactory conclusion of Arch's affair
was Dearest's refusal to cooperate
with me at this crucial moment be-
cause of her belief that Terhune's wish
to marry Agatha Sixth was purely a
mercenary one. And as l at length
comprehended what | might have seen
long time ago if had only stopped
to think, l understood in a second her
scornful and almost resentful attitude
toward myself on several occasions,
for apparently supporting my friend in
his meretricious designs. With this
new grasp of the situation suddenly
given to me, l couldn't begin fast
enough to try to make my wife under
stand what l had so lately learned
myself, that Terhune sincerely loved
Miss Lawrence. AS quickly as | could

Arch's reputation of my suggestion in

a moment ago in the hall l judged,

that the recital of this incident from
my lips would convince my wife as
nothing else could, that was right in
believing that Terhune had come at
length to see that love, more than any
thing else in the world-even fortune
was the only thing worth considering
when it came to question of getting
married.

Agatha Sixth, and would rather have
