STOCKS

Decentralization on the future OF the
market Is still very much mixed. The
great increase in western loans and
the curtailment by the railroads are
considered 10y many insurmountable
obstacles TO a bull movement at the
present time. The bears admit that
considerable has been done towards
clearing the situation but they stll In
sist that we must yet go through a
period of liquidation i'm labor and raw
stun before industry of the country is
out on a cound basis. We are very
hullish on the coppers and believe that
no one will make a mistake in taking
on all they can carry at present prices.

leading director of the Nevada Con-

is no question of $3.50 per annum upon
a monthly production of 100000

has been bringing about some re-
markably low opening costs during
the last few months. For both May

The Presidents Message.

While not SO lengthy a document
as usual, the presidents message,
which was given to the press Tues
day. is too cumbersome to appear in
The Independent this week.
The message deals entirely with
matters of state. says little about
the tariff, ugres a ship subsidy. dis
cusses the work on the Panama
canal, treats of government ex-
penses, calls attention to needed
legislation for completing irrigation
projects, talks about postal savings
banks, has something to say about
water sites. coal lands. conserva-
ton, navy yard economy, civil ser
vice commissions. pensions. bureau
of corporations. bureau of labor. the
Alaska situation and other topics.
There is nothing of politics, not
single paragraph that has even
an undercurrent of political signifi-
canoe. In the entire message.

Going Into Winter.

Delta county is going into winter
in as good condition as usual.
The field crops have all been
good. The sugar beet harvest is over
and the late potatoes housed or
marketed, thus finishing the crop
harvesting.
Range stock may, be a little more.
short than usual outside the pas
lures, because of the dry summer.
but hay is more abundant and cheap
er for feeding than it has been for
the past two years.
The fall work, such as getting the
land in shape for spring seeding.
has gone nicely along, and farms are
in average good shape. The same can
be said of orchards. many of which
have had a partial rest from over
bearing and a bumper fruit crop is
predicted for 1911.
A retrospective view of the Sit
uation is therefore highly satisfac-
tory. The fruit crop did not bring in
as much money as that of 1909.
still our people are getting into win
ter we'll provided for after their US
ual hard seasons work, which has
not been without profit. and with
everything hopeful for splendid
crop wear to follow.

DELTA COUNTY
LEADS IN GAIN
CENSUS FIGURES SHOW WELL
UP TO ESTIMATE MADE
LAST WEEK.
County Shows Nearly A Thousand
A Year Increase For Straight
Ten Years-MOst of the
Growth Has Been in
Past Five Years.

The following figures were given
cut last Saturday and correspond
cIosely with the estimate in last
week S Independent.
Population of Delta county 13,
$50, as against 5,4S7 in 1900;
gain of S73 per year for ten years.
Delta has 1858, exclusive of North
Delta, as against SIG in 1900, or a
gain of nearly 200 per cent.
The population of Grand juno
ton is 7,755. This is an increase of
1882 over the census returns of
1900, or 1918 per cent increase.
The population of Mesa county
is 22,29S. In 1900 the census re-
turns showed 9,267 for Mesa county
or an increase of 13,031 inhabi-
tants in the last decade.
The population OF Montrose county
is 1929 against their 1900 figure
of 1885. The city of Montrose is
I 3.264 as against 1,2S7 in 1900.
1t will be noted with much sat
isifaction by Delta county people,
that our gain in population leads all
counties of the Western Slope in
rate of increase by from 40 to 10
per cent, that of the county alone
$50 per cent, while the rate of Delta
city's growth is a little better than
100 per cent increase.
Mesa county comes next with an
increase rate in the county of about
165 per cent and an increase rate
in the city of Grand Junction of 121
per cent.
Montrose county is third with an
increase in the county OF about lis
per cent and an increase in the city
of Montrose of about 11O per cent
OF the other towns in Delta coun-
ty the figures are not at hand, but
it is safe to rate them at an in
crease corresponding with Delta and
the county. Another gratifying fea-
ture is the fact that our county and
its towns are keeping such close pace
in population, while the same can
be said regarding improvements and
development.
1t can also be stated in behalf
of Delta county, that the great
part of her increase along population
development and improvement lines,
have been made within the past five
years, the latter half of the last
census period. and it is a conserva-
tive estimate to count upon 100
per cent increase within the next
l five years.

On the Stone Gang.

~ A good sized bunch of Delta S
down the proposed state auto road
toward Grand Junction yesterday
and put in a little time pickin;
stones out of the to be scenic high
way, eating a picnic dinner and
practicing with the kodak, the pri-
mary object being to prove it on
themselves and TO show interest
in the proposed state road. The party
went down in autos and had a good
time, though We cannot vouch for
the exact amount of road work ac-
complished.
Regarding the proposed state road,
the interest has grown so fast that
it is now safe to say it is assured
and will become a reality in the
shortest possible time. The counties
along the route have become so
strongly interested that they will put
it through, if necessary without leg
islative aid, but it is pretty sure that
such aid can be relied upon.
The route, as now figured, starts
from Denver, thence to Colorado
Springs; the northern line then
then traverses Elpaso, Teller, Park
Chaffee, Lake, Eagle and Garfield
counties, thence swings south and
ouray and San Miguel, thence east
ward through Dolores, San Juan,
Hinsdale, Mineral, Rio Grande, Cos
tilla, Huerfano and back north
through Pueblo to Ell Paso county
and into Denver over the original
route.
OF course much of this road is
already in fine condition, and the
work needed in the rougher sections
to make it an auto circle highway
can be quickly accomplished when
once begun. Before midsummer the
circle road should be in commission.
and the more enthusiastic predict
that It will bring 10000 automobile
parties into the state next year.
That is going some. but If it brings
one-half, or one-third that many, il
will have accomplished more for the
state than any one enterprise which
has been undertaken or accom-
plished in the past many years.

Road to be Built From Cedaredge

Meeting of Men From Both
Counties Held i'm Delta
Last might.

Last night as The Independent
was at press, a meeting was being
held at the Office of the Business
Mems Association in Delta, to dis
cuss the matter of joining with
Montrose men in the effort to build
a railroad from Cedaredge to Mont
rose, via Delta. Ii was expected
that at this meeting Cedaredge,
Eckert and Austin would be rep
resented, as well as the country
south of Delta, and the meeting was
also expected TO develop well de-
fined lines of action. Naturally The
Independent is unable to give re-
suits of the meeting before its next
issue

". among whom are T. B. Town

Sprague and others. have incorpor-
ated under the laws of Colorado
for the purpose of promoting and
building a railroad, planning to use
electricity for power. TO be called
the Uncompahgre and Gunnison
Valley Railroad Company.
The proposed road is to be built
from Cedaredge to Montrose. via
Delta. They have had engineers in
the field who have given the opinion
the territory will be sufficiently
inviting TO Justify the completing of
the road. They have asked for an
equal number of men. or more. from
Delta county, to join hands with
them in promoting the enterprise.
Many details and preliminarise
are necessary before presenting the
matter to capitalists. and the meet
ing last night was to discuss the sub
ject of joining with the Montrose
people in aiding the proposition. as
per their invitation.
There is no question regarding
the benefit of such road. par
ticularly that part intended TO open
up the Surface Creek part of
Delta county to transportation SO
badly needed. and while we are but
little acquainted with the needs of
the southern part of the field. we
presume IL is equally practical.
Whether or not the plan proposed
will interfere with other plans
for building railroads into this field
or not. we do not know. but pre-
sumo this feature will be duly met.
The oagerness of the people in the
field, however, will no doubt incline
them to encourage the first reason
able prospect.

Boys Start for Arizona
From Delta ~ Gan4-esu

c. A. Wheeler, Z. p. MUIR and
II. NJ. Kirby. three young men who
lave been working on the Colorado
Telephone gang in Delta, left yester
day morning in a canoe, declaring
their intention of floating down
with the current into Arizona
The boys constructed their own
craft, fiat bottom canoe, of the
mud-scow class, from material pur-
chased at the Independent Lumber
company's yards in Delta. Its di-
mensions were fourteen feet long,
four feet wide and sixteen inches
deep. They figured that it would
carry a weight of one and one-half
tons.
In it was slowed their bedding
and camp equippage, and grub
supply which they will replenish as
needed, at points along the river.
They expect to kill some game on
route, to help out their supply of
fresh meat.
They will follow the Gunnison to
the Grand, and then drift on down
to the Colorado. following that
stream as far as they can, toward
the more dangerous rapids of the
Grand Canon. in Arizona. They eN-
pect that it will take them a month
to make the trip. Should the craft
in which they start prove insufficient
lower down the river, they will build
another boat to continue the jour
ney in.
1t looks like the young men had
mapped out for themselves a pretty
elaborate experience. but they are
husky and in good health and will
no doubt enjoy the novelty of their
journey.
They have promised to keep The
Independent informed of their pro
gress.

Who VIII Be President

vi -hpBit
1t was somewhat of a task TO
organize and put on in less than
four weeks time a national event
such as the First American Apple
Congress to be held in Denver, Dec
ember Is. 16 and II promises to be.
The most striking feature at this
time is that over four hundred dele
gates hvae been appointed and have
reported to the congress as signi-
| flying their Willingness to be in at
tendance.
Many expressions of regret have
been received from all over the
Western Slope over the announce
ment by John F. Moore that it will
be impossible for him TO accept the
nomination for the presidency. A
report from Clinton oliver, secre-
tay of the Apple Congress, Sat
urday night from Paonia, where he
has been spending few days, says
that Delta and Montrose counties
will throw their entire support to
Mesa county for the presidency.
This means that il is up to this
section to get together on a man for
this position, as the Western Slope
will be represented by over 200
delegates and will control many
more.
The wonderful record made by
the Western Slope at the Horticul-
tural Congress and afterward at the
Chicago Land show, has put this sec
ton stronger than ever before the
eyes of the whole country as an
apple producing district. 1t will be
very poor diplomacy in view of the
national importance of the Apple
Congress movement, for the Western
Slope to overlook what looks like a
sure opportunity to get the pres
idency. The truth of the old say
ing I'm union there is strength.
was shown when the three counties.
Mesa, Delta and Montrose by going
together grabbed the district prize
at the Horticultural Congress. This
is simply another opportunity for
tsem to work the same movement.
