Just What Everybody knew eefore.

The inquiry at the statehouse into the high cost of living is getting about where we supposed it would. Men in various lines of trade come in and tes- tify as to the cost of articles in which they deal and as to their theories con- cerning the reasons for any advance in prices there may be. Occasionally one comes along to assert that the prices of his goods have not risen. The man ager of a department store was before the commission last week telling how many things which go to hitting up n house are as cheap as they were five or ten years ago and how some things are even cheaper. He allowed that young couple could go to housekeeping as inexpensively as they could several years ago; but he did not say, or if he did he was not reported. that the tendency to buy more things for the house is very marked. and that the shopzeepers are. not backward about encouraging it. But it needs no com mission, and no expenditure of $I5,- 000, to bring this truth before the public The newspapers have been persfstently calling attention to this phase of the cost of living problem, as well as to everything which has so far been stated at the Boston hearing. By the way. one of the witnesses at that hearing Laid the blame of the entire agitation on the newspapers, and no doubt some of it belongs to them.-- New Bedford Standard.

Dr. Charles E. Froelich, who is a member of the Connecticut Medical society, and who for many years practiced in Hartford according to the allopathic school of medicine. but who is now retired, has been made a de- fendant in suit for damages of s25,- 900.

Froelich bought a house on Oakland terrace. and as French and his wife had furniture, they fitted up the house and went there to live the rent being free to them, it is alleged, in consider ation of their providing a room and board for Dr. Froelich.

Fruit VIII BE High.

The whole central part of the ma
ton will have but very little fruit
to sell this year. and this will set
up a good demand for everything we
may bring through. Eleven states
report losses of s50.000.0O0 with
the greatest losses in Kansas. Mis-
souri, and Iowa, which are the
heaviest producers. In frantic ef-
fort to save something the orchards
and gardens of the whole Missis-
sippi valley were like army bivouacs
with beacon lights burning. Smudg-
es of coal. wood and straw. were
burned all night long in an effort
TO protect the young buds from the
blight of the frost. Blankets. COM
forters and other bed coverings
were used on gardens and trees as
mantles. but these things afforded
but little If any protection, and the
damage was something appalling.
Our Colorado people will be called
upon to furnish fruit this year and
will do SO. with more than ninety
per cent of full crop for the state
over.-Field and Farm.

The Garage Blaze.

The fire which gutted the Delta
Auto Garage last Friday morning,
was one of the quickest and hottest
OF record in Delta. A gasoline tank
under As pounds pressure was squirt
ing its contents into the flame. which
made it hard to get a killing effect
with the nozzles. However 1t did
not take long to knock out the
flames when a cross-fire of hose play
began from the front and rear of
the building
The first figures of the loss in
our supplement last week, were ap-
proximately correct, the amount
being close to. perhaps a little above
$4,000. In addition to the cars
then mentioned, was one which had
just arrived from Hotchkiss.
MIR. Allen is busy getting the gar
age in shape to resume business.
The walls. which are of cement. are
not damaged. The building is to be
extended back. and will be maze

DEEDS RECORDED
FOOT $132,531
MINUS ADDITIONS ONE DOLLAR
DEALS AND THE LIKE
WOULD MAKE.
This Is But About an Average, and
Is Convincing Showing That
Delta County Investments Are
Far Outstripping Those of Other
Sections.

Considerations in deeds recorded
in Delta county last week foot up
S132, ,531. This says nothing of the
deeds which read: "On dollar and
other valuable consideration" Many
deeds are thus made out when the
consideration is thousands of dollars
and this would. ii the actual figures
were given, no doubt raise the total
of Investments from one-third to
one-half
The fact is very apparent that in
vestments in Delta county realty
are so far outstripping those of other
sections, that those other sections
are giving little heed to announcing
totals of their sales When a fairly
important sale is made of a ranch
or orchard somewhere else, the local
papers make a great to-do over it
with big head lines Realty sales
have become so common in Delta
county, and so many of them take
place every day, that to mention
them separately would be quite a
task
1t IS also noteworthy that prac-
tically all sales made are at a good
figure, attesting the fact that the
merits of property here are becoming
well understood and appreciated.

The Crawford Railroad.

The railroad meeting held last
Saturday in Crawford was a hummer
and it begins to look as if the peo-
pie of this vicinity were tired of liv-
ing so far from a railroad.
Thirty thousand dollars was sub
scribed at this meeting, which was
quite encouraging considering the
attendance. Committees were ap-
pointed for the different localities.
Mr.. George Dake, Mr.. Paul Will
son and Mr.. Frank Thomas, of
Hotchkiss, We're on hand to help
boost for this railroad, and if every
one will put his shoulder to the
wheel, there is no reason in the
world why the trains should not be
running inside of six months. Just
pause and consider for moment
the benefits to be derived from the
building of this road. In the first
instance. you will be able to get
your products to market in much
better shape; new industries will
start, which will mean more labor
employed; products will find a more
ready market: big tracts of lands
will be divided, making homes for
ten families where there is now one:
lands will more than double in
value; better school facilities, in fact
everything in the world which goes
to make a better and more pros
porous country
In California. Uncle Sam is fur
nishing water to the farmers for
$4,000 per acre, and We can secure
this road for the small sum of $500
per acre. The Fruitland Irrigation
people have now spent $3.50. 100000
on this proposition to date and will
spend more.
The contracts will be passed
around for your inspection. and We
find that the money subscribed at
this end of the line will be placed
in the Hotchkiss banks. to be drawn
upon while the road is being con-
structed. as follows: Fifteen per
cent to be paid when each five miles
of road is completed. and balance
of payment when road is finished.

SUGAR FACTORY
IS PROGRESSING
NO PUBLIC STATEMENTS, But
THOSE INSIDE EXPRESS
CONFIDENCE.
Outside People Have Been Looking
Over Field.-Interest Augmented
By Reported Wearing Out of
The Northern Colorado Territory.
Delta Soil Will Last Long.

While nothing in detail has been
given to the press regarding work
on the beet sugar factory PROPOSE
ton this week, it is said that the
effort is making satisfactory pro-
gress.
During the latter part of last
week and first part of this, parties
interested in the proposition from
Denver and other points were here
and committe meetings and business
sessions We're held. In answer to
inquiry, those conversant with all
the proceedings and progress which
has been made say: I'VE feel en-
tIrely confident that the beet sugar
factory is a go ana that work on
the plant will begin this fall"
The interest in this field is no
doubt being increased by the wear
ing out of much of the north-state
beet land, which is now claimed to
grow beets so low in sugar percent
age as to have caused much less
planting. In speaking OF this as
regards our own soil. a well known
beet grower said: Our soil is SO
deep-much of it 10 to 40 feet
and of such a wearing character.
that beet cultivation will have much
less effect to deteriorate it than
the soils of most other fields

Sues for n Hundred Thousand
For Defamation of Character

Ira ID. McFadden. now of Paonia.
has filed suit in the district court
of Montrose county against the Lily
lands Company to the amount of
$4,000 claiming that company has
damaged his character 10 that ex-
tent The case grows out of certain
contentious which have grown up
between Messrs. McFadden and
Wood and the Lilylands Company.
In his petition. MIR. McFadden
points to two specific charges upon
which his case is built. One is an
article which appeared in the Grand
Junction News last November. for
which the present president of the
Lilylands Company. j. A. Becker. is
charged to have been responsible.
and the other point was defama-
tion rejecting against his character
which was brought out by the de-
fcndand company in case which
was tried in the courts. in which
the company and c. A. Wood were
the contending parties.
In the Grand Junction News ar
ticle, IL was made to appear that
the former officers of the company.
which had reference to Mr.. McFad-
den, had appropriated to themselves
10000 shares OF the stock of the
company.
The other specific incident claimed
by MIR. McFadden. is reference to
him as having entered into con
spiracy to cheat. wrong and defraud
and obtain and keep to his own use.

FINE COLOR IN PHOTOGRAPHS
\ Very Nice Entertainment for Those
In Attendance.

The McGinnis show of color work
at Odd Fellows hall Monday night
was quite interesting to the small
audience who viewed the films
thrown on sheet. There wasn't
much in the way of explanation, ex
cept that Prof. McGinnis set up the
claim to being the original dis
coverer of color photography. The
same sort of color work has been
seen at the five and ten cent shows
for number of years, improved by
better paraphernalia in the showing.
The line of pictures shown were
mostly of California, along with
some good ones of the Grand Canon
of the Colorado, in Arizona One

during the day at Cedaredge, was

appealed more directly to the writer

about quite a bit in search of de-
sirable views. He stated that they
had taken 25 or 80 pictures of Or
chards here but had not developed
them all. They would return this
