Gunnison Land VIII Be
ThroDn Open Next AprH

Montrose, Colo Jan. 12-All land
under the recently opened Gunnison
tunnel. amounting to nearly 16O, 900
acres, will be thrown open to settlers
on April 20, according to announcement
made from Washington today. More
than three-fourths of this land is un-
der water, or will be when the canal is
opened. Some of the land is worth as
much as $500 per acre and there will
undoubtedly be grand rush to get the
benefits of the millions spent by Uncle
Sam in the Uncompahgre valley. The
reclamation service has announced that
water will be turned into the bitches
April l, so that the new settlers can
put in a crop this year if they desire.
Details of the opening have not been
received, but it is probable that draw
ing will be held and the same scheme
followed which has been so successful in
other states. The tracts to be disposed
of will probably not exceed forty acres
in area.

FRUIT GROWERS BAND. pAoNIA. COLO.
Sale of Premium Appies.

There are several interesting things
that could be said concerning the sale of
apples shown at the exposition at Den
yer. First, Grand functions premium
carload was sold to Delta county man.
J. l.. Taylor of the Delta County Fruit
Growers Association, at 81. 60 per box,
who Immediately sold it to the John
Thompson Grocery company of Denver
for handsome profit The Delta
county carloads were sold at S2.20 per
box, much less than they were worth,
which seems to indicate lack of effort
in their disposal. 1t is claimed that
other lots sold at auction for $3.50 a
box were knocked down by the auction
eer during the height of competitive
bidding, and without regard to an ad-
vance of five cents per box offered. 1t
seems too bad that these splendid Delta
county apples should not have been
made to bring at least what they We're
worth, and sS per box in Denver would
have been low price. Why. they
should have broug hit that much in Delta.
And, in the meantime, this writer heard
people on every side complaining that
they could not get a good apple in Dem
yer markets and censuring Western
Slope growers for shipping all their
good fruit East. No wonder.

Business Men Meet at
Court House Monday Night.

The Business Mems Association pro-
poses to start off what will be the most
prosperous year in the history of Delta
with rousing meeting to be held at
the court house next Monday evening
at 7:30 O'Clock. Full reports will be
presented of the the trip to the Apple
Show, the special train, the banquet
and other matters.
Several important business enter
prises, anyone of which will mean much
to the town of Delta, are now dealing
with the association and it is believed
that within the next three months it
will be possible to make important an
nouncements. There have been many
new members lately added to the roster
of the association and they are all ex-
pected to turn out and make the meet
ing lively one.

Library Movement.

The INDEPENDENT is informed that
the Woman's Club will attempt to pro-
mote public library for Delta. The
undertaking is commendable one and
it is hoped will succeed. Delta is now
city and entirely out of line in this
respect. Many small villages of the
state have creditable libraries and most
of them have been in one way or an
other provided by ladies who took an
active interest in such matters. After
a start is made and public interest
awakened, there opens up many ways
for library to be increased and sus-
tanned.

each place they were cheered and sp-
plauded. At Puebio they were escorted
through the city by mayor and council,
members of the Chamber of Commerce
and mounted police, to their Hall of
Congress, where impromptu speeches
were inside. Upon reaching Denver
promptly on time-the Delta delegation
was met by Denver's reception commit
tee and their special band along with
the Paonia band. lead the parade to
headquarters.
The train and Delta's part at the
auditorium, along with this county's
magnificent apple exhibit, accomplished
much in the way of good advertising.
Following are the names of Delta
county people on the special apple train:

The Booster Train.

The special Pullman train which car
ried the Delta county people to the Ma
tional Apple Exposition at Denver was
one of the best ever placed at the dis
posal of any lot of people. The coaches
were palaces, the observation car and
dining car were such as might accom-
pany Presidential party's train.
About l25 Delta county people were
on this train and they were jolly, sat
isiied lot. The boosting spirit was man
ifest all along the line. At Canon City
stop of half an hour was made. an
hour at Pueblo and an hour at Colorado
Springs. At each stop the throng of

Delta's Banquet at
Hotel Kdiserhof

The banquet rendered the Press and
Denver notables at the Kaiserhof hotel
in Denver. Wednesday night of last
week, was greatly enjoyed affair.
1t was an eight-course feast at which
DIR. A. II. Stockham of Delta acted as
POSTMASTER. Responses were made by
Governor Shafroth, Mr.. Keating. editor
of the Rocky Mountain News; Mr.
Gordon Jones, banker; President of the
Chamber of Commerce of Denver;
Cartoonist Finch (Doc. Bird of the
Post, and Bide Dudley. humorist. Pres
ident Kinsley. of the Delta County
Business Mems Association. made
brief address. giving statistics of the
county's products. crop yields and
awards received.
The banquet happily brought many
Denver people of consequence in con-
tact with Delta county boosters and all
were gratified at the result.
The Delta independent., 1910-01-14

The Apple Show drew many Delta
county people to Denver last week and
this week the stock show has attracted
many more.
Both exhibits were fine. as good as
Colorado has ever put up in any line.
1t may easily be said. in fact, that both
the apple show and the stock show IF
last week and this. are the best of
Colorado's exhibits.
While Delta county did not get quite
so nearly all the awards as her products
have been accus toned to receive, still
she won sufficient share of them to
be we'll satisfied, after a little cooling
of the local temperature. II is certain
ly good thing for other ambitious sec
tons of the Western Slope, and may
also prove Of advantage to Delta county
growers exhibiting at future exposi-
tions, to be taught that il is dangerous
TO grow over-confident and the least bit
careless.
Delta county's fruit display was fine
but in all respects was not what il could
have been. and at this show it was
brought into the keenest competition
possible with other state exhibits,
but with II. own unequsled fieid-the
Western Slope. And in this lies the
satisfaction not only that it is a part of
the greatest fruit section of the world.
but that the prizes its growers divided
up were among its neighbors.
At the Denver exposition the exhibit
of the Western Slope was something SO
marvellous as to monopolize attention.
At the stock show perhaps less stock
has been exhibited from Delta county
than usual. but a good representation
of stockmen are taking If anything
more than the usual keen interest in
the show. The time is opportune and
is believed to mark a new era of pros
perity for the live stock business, hence
every movement and opportunity to
gain information is being taken advan-
tage of by the growers in the state.

Della to attend Y. M. C. a.
Meeting at Grand Junction.

Delta has promised to come to Grand
Junction on February 4, 5 and 6, at the
time of the state convention of the Y.
M. C. A with one of the largest dele
cations that ever left that city.
Sunday Doctor G. R. Warner and E.
E. Udlock, of Grand Junction, spoke
in two churches in the morning inviting
the people of Delta to attend the con-
vention and at o'clock in the afternoon
the two men again addressed special
meeting of Delta men concerning the
work of the Y. NJ C. A. in this city and
in the state. AS result of this meet
ing H. j. Baird, OF. Delta, was placed
in charge of committee of two from
every church of Delta which will make
the arrangements for bringing down a
big delegation. Delta is very enthusi-
astic over the Y. NJ. C. A. and hopes to
have building of its own soon.
In the afternoon meeting DR.. Warner
gave detailed account of the work
of the Y. NJ. c. A. in the towns and
cities and explained the wide influence
and power for good that the organi-
zation had. His address was ably de-
liver-d and listened to with great at
tention. Mr.. Udlock spoke on the work
of the association in the state. Mr..
Udlock is member of the state COM
mittee and intimately acquainted with
this department. The Delta men de-
clared they hoped to bring delegation
of 100 to the convention.
The aim of the local Y NJ. c. A is
to have the largest possible representa-
ton from the Western Slope at the
coming state convention. Next week
men will leave the city for Paonia,
Hotchkiss and Montrose and carry per-
sonal invitations to these cities to send
delegations to the state convention. The
Y. M. c. A. of Salt Lake has announced
its intention of bringing big delega-
tion to this city and the Y. NJ. c. A. at
Helper is also going to have a good
delegation here. From the Eastern
Slope it is expected that every Y. M.
C. A. town will be represented by at
least three to six delegates.

Public Drinking Fountains
Are Badly Needed for
Delta Schools.
Woman's Club Taking an. Interest.
What Was Found in Just
One Class.--Will Solicit
to Promote Work.

A drinking-g glass, used in school
microscope, and here is what was
found:
The human cells scraped from the
lips of the drinkers were so numerous
on the upper third of the glass that the
head of pin could not be placed any
where without touching several of these
bits of skin The saliva, by running
down on the inside of the glass, had
carried cells and bacteria to the bot
tom. By counting the cells present on
fifty different areas on the glass, as
seen uuGer the microscope, it was esti-
mated that the cup contained over 20,
00O human cells or bits of dead skin.
As many as $50 germs were seen cling
ing to single cell. and very few cells
showed less than 10 germs. Between
the cells were thousands of germs, left
there by the smears of saliva deposited
by the drinkers. Not less than one hun
dred thousand bacteria were present on
every square inch of glass;
A nice, clean glass, this! And yet in
almost every school house today are
similar glasses out of which our children
drink.
The above quotation from the cur
est number OF the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal should drive home more forcibly
than ever the need for sanitary drink
ing fountains in our public schools
As our town grows, the danger from
contagious disease increases. One of
the most insidious methods of spreading
contagion is by the common drinking
cup. colds. malignant sore throat,
catarrh and many of the thousand and
one ills that flesh is heir to may be laid
to its use.
Many of the mothers provide indivi-
dual cups for their children, but too
often they are left in the schoolroom,
and for lust this once" the ordinary
cup must be used.
1t is the purpose of this article to call
the attention of the women of Delta to
the crying need for new fountains that
shall remove all danger of contagion.
The Educational Committee of the
Woman's Club has started movement
for the purchase of sanitary drinking
fountains to replace the disease breed
ers now in use.
Will the women of the town respond
to the appeal that is to be made in the
near future, and provide at least one of
the fountains.
Next week some member of the
Woman's Club will call upon you, ask
ing for donation to the cause. What
ever you feel able to give will be most
gratefully accepted. Study over the
matter carefully for it is cause that
should lie close to the heart of every
woman and merits careful consideration.
