-ais OF Water Now Coming
Through Gunnison Tunnel.

The board of directors of the I'm
compahgre Water Users Association
met last Friday and discussed many
points of interest to water users and
prospective water users under the
Gunnison tunnel.
The question of how the govern
ment would give water to those who
desired il was discussed. 1t was
finally decided that all bitches that
had complied with the government
regulations and had signed up for
the tunnel water could get it by
application to the tunnel manager
c. T. Pease. but under no condition
will water be supplied to land
that has not subscribed.
Heretofore it had been made the
piled with water from the tunnel
until 20 feet had been subscribed.
This was rescinded at the meeting
Friday, as 1t was thought the old
ruling had worked considerable
hardship upon those who had pro-
poseo using the government water,
but did not wish to subscribe for so
large Al usrount
In the afternoon a delegation con-
sisting of w. Z. Obert, Edgar Will
Weeks of Delta, Sam Harris and
Carl Watterson of Ola;he. and John
Deeble and J. J. Tobin of Montrose.
went out to examine the south can
al and see how things are getting
along in that section of the project.
They report that at present the
canal is carrying about 200 feet of
water, but that the tunnel head
gate is being raised about one-half
foot every day which lets in SO feet
each time. This will be continued
for several days until the flow
amounts to 400 feet.
The recent leak in the canal was
repaired last week and now every
thing is in good condition.
There are at present about 200
feet of water in the Montrose and
Delta canal. and Friday. Is feet
were turned into the Garnet ditch.
The Stockholders of the Ironstone
ditch are still lighting among them
selves and unless they patch up the
difficulty pretty quickly. they will
not likely be able to receive any
benefit.
1t is said that there are now /,
500 feet of water flowing per second
in the river. past the portal. and
that last week there were 1000 feet
Is the capacity of the south canal
is only 1900 feet. 1t will be seen
that there is ample water to supply
all in the valley who wish it-Mont-

Iowa Day at Paonia
Draws Big Crowd.

Draws Big crowd.
Yesterday was Iowa Day at Pao-
mia, and as usual, the celebration
was great success.
Many went up from Delta. and all
enjoyed the day. Paonia as a whole.
and the Iowa contingent in partic-
ular, played the role of host hos
pitable. in a manner to win the
hearts of guests and visitors.
There was the usual days picnic
program, the speeches, the dinner
and the visiting together of peo-
pie from Iowa. It was a reunion en-
joyable, and worthy of the name.
Then there was the ball game
the second of the seasons contests
OF strength, Quickness and skill
between the business mems teams
of Delta and Paonia. The game
was witnessed by large crowd and
the fast playing kept up yell of
good eye," throughout the innings.
Toward the last, however, both team
seemed to get tired. and much foot
racing around the diamond was done
The final score was 16 to 6 in fav-
or of the Delta team. This evens
honors, as the last game was won
by Paonia.
In all ways this Iowa Day was
one of the best of the several like
annual picnics previously held.

Grand Chancellor Crane
Accorded Delightful Reception
BY the Local Pythians

The reception given Grand Chan
lor Crane last Friday night was a
very delightful one, though the mum
ber of visiting Knights did not run
as high as was expected. The ex-
tremely hot weather possibly had
something to do with this.
The banquet prepared by the
Pythian Sisters, was served at 1. o.
o. F. hall and was an elaborate and
most enjoyable spread.
Speeches were made in eulogy of
the order. cigars enjoyed after the
banquet and a fine social meeting
prevailed. Hotchkiss turned out the
largest delegation of visitors. Mont
rose failed entirely, from some reas-
on unexplained, to respond.

Gunnison Celebrates.

The stockmen's celebration at
Gunnison last week was well attend
ed. making that sleepy old town real
lively for couple of days.
The sport program was up to the
average and the barbecue and fish
bake were an entire success.
Chief Forester Graves was pres
ent and addressed the people from
the court house steps Thursday even
ing, as did also Senator Ammons.
The former spoke on the forestry
situation and the latter on the stock
show and agricultural college, Law
ishly praising both institutions. Mr..
Graves presents rather bJyfsfi APP
pearance. and. If placed among a
bunch of range riders, might easily
be mistaken for one of their num-
ber. He said his visit to the re-
serves was to satisfy himself of the
character of the land included and
of the general conditions existing,
and he hoped to get along nicely
with the people concerned and the
public. with whom he wished to have
the best understanding and most
pleasant relations possible.
Senator AmmoRs called attention
to certain statistics of imports which
he said were a disgrace to a great
state like Colorado, in not produc-
ing instead of shipping such supplies
from the outside. He mentioned
S6.00o.000 worth of pork. $4,000
900 of beef. s4,O0O,000 of poultry
and eggs, and s4,0O0.0oO worth of
dairy products as shipped in to sup
ply Colorado markets. making a per
capita for the population of the state
of about $40, expended for outside
products.
Naturally. this was hardly fair
Showing. 1t is entirely true that
Colorado should not only raise her
own pork supply along with some to
garding the poultry. eggs and dairy
products; but as an Offset, it
must be remembered that Colorado
does ship thousands of cattle and
sheep to eastern markets; that she
ships millions of dollars worth of
fruits to points outside, and out
puts of her mineral wealth from
s15O.oo0.oo0 to 100000. 900 each
year. So, according to the figures
given. If her imports amount to $40
per capita of her population. her ex-
ports must reach five times that
amount. or $500 per capita.
The speeches were listened to by
n very small percentage of the peo-
pie present
The people of the Gunnison coun-
try, as rule, appear to be opposed
to forest reservations from whatever
standpoint or whosoever administra-
ton and to regard them in the light
of nuisance. detrimental to the
rights of the citizen. settler and the
stock grower. while down this way.
majority of the stockmen seem to
favor conservation. grazing privile-
ges and government control.

From Denver to Delta
On Motorcycle.

Claude Ward, a well known Cedar
edge boy who made the trip from
Denver to Delta on a motorcycle,
contributes the following:
The route taken was as follows:
Denver to Colorado Springs and then
up over Ute pass to Divide, through
Florissant to Lake George and
across South Park to Hartsel. From
Hartsel to Buena Vista the road
was rough, but better roads were
found from Buena Vista to Salida.
The total distance between Colo
RADIO Springs and Salida, 125 miles,
was covered in eight hours and Is
minutes, not counting stops.
The route from Salida to Gunni-
son was over Monarch pass, a road
said to be almost impossible for wag-
cns and out of the question for a
motorcycle. 1t took six and half
hours from Salida to the top of the
pass, and four and a half from there
On to Gunnison.
From Gunnison the route was
down to Sapinero, then down the
top of Black canon to Curricanti
creek, then up over Black mesa to
Crawford From Crawford to Delta
the road was pretty good.
The total number of miles on the
trip was 3S2 and the time was sc
hours. an average of over 1019
miles an hour for the entire dis
tance.

Would Be Great Thing for

Delta Field Inviting For Capital
To Invest In Such Enterprises
Would Reap Rich Harvest.-BOth
Capital and Brains Needed to
Exploit the Field.

Montrose papers have heralded
what they say is an Uncompahgre
valley railway project, uniting that
city and Delta, and refer to a meet
ing held in this city last week as
authority.
Some fellows from Fort Collins,
who own a coal mine up Tongue
Greek on Grand mesa, were here,
and we understand, had some talk
about a system extending up that
way and to Cedardege; perhaps to
extend later, over California and
other mesas.
That there is a field here for a
splendid network of interurban
roads centering from Delta. admits
of neither doubt or denial. The
field is so great for such an enter
prise as to go beyond the capacity
of the ordinary individual to com
prehend, unless he has given it con-
siderable study and investigation.
To exploit such an enterprise how
ever, will require experienced heads
and ready capital. The field invites
as Investment, upon which ample re
turns can be expected, capital in
large amounts.
hope TO see people take hold
of this proposition who can supply
the amount of money necessary to
operate it as it should be, and who
have the experience that is required
to insure success from the beginning.
