Savings and Building Asso-
ciatIon ORGANIZED for Delta.

A new enterprise which should
prove of great Importance to Delta
was launched this week, when ar
tlcles of incorporation were file d
for the Delta Savings and Building
Association, of Delta Colorado.
The capital stock of the associa-
tion is 100000, divided into even
shares of 500 each.
The officers of the association for
the first year are: John Z. Hillman,
president; w. r. Johnson, vice
president; A. B. Wire, secretary;
G. T. White, treasurer; H. j. Baird
attorney. Directors: j. E. Hill
man, w. R. johnson, R. L. Emry, C.
H. Burgin, A. B. Wire, G. T. White,
H. ]. Baird, Leonard Baird. Loan
Board: A. B. Wire, w. R. Johnson,
R. L. Emry.
Quite an amount of stock has al
ready been subscribed for, both of
installment and paid up stock. The
company will do business in Delta
county exclusively, and will declare
dividends and make reports every
six months. Stock may be subscribed
for and paid for at the rate of fifty
cents per share per month until it
natures, or the same can be with
drawn upon proper notice by the
holder at any period when he wills.
1t is claimed that both Grand
Junction and Montrose have asso-
Citations of this kind, and that they
have been successful in a financial
way, aside from having proven the
means of erecting many houses.
Grand Junction now has three build
ing and loan associations.

James Wclch Celebrates
His Eightieth Birthday.


On December 3rd, 1910, the resi-
dence of Il. NJ. Logan was invaded
by the children. grandchildren and
great grandchildren of James L..
Welch. Sr.. of Delta. the ocassion be-
Ing the eightieth birthday of Mr..
Welch. There were four generations
represented at the dinner table, all
doing ample justice to the bountiful
repast provided by his daughter.
Mrs. Iona Irene Logan.
Grandpa Welch is great lover
OF children, and believes that to
give sack of candy or garment to
a shivering child does more for
charity than a much larger amount
given to foreign missions. His idea
is that charity is needed and should
begin at home.

Join the Good Fellows Club"

The Good Fellows Bureau of The
Delta Independent is now open. 1t
has its own mail, and anyone can
join by sending his name, offering
to be a Santa Claus to some child
who otherwise would have no Merry
Christmas. The best of ii is, that
everyone can be a Good Fellow, ~
men, women, girls or boys. The
Chicago Tribune has such a bureau
in its efforts TO reach all the des-
titute children of Chicago, those who
would have little or no pleasure on
Christmas under ordinary circum-
stances, and bring them in touch
with citizens who are willing to hell
them. This bureau has attracted
the attention of travelling men,
childless, but kind hearted people.
Two or three letters have been
received from men who wish to max
Christmas a happy day for fifty
children. Another wishes the ad-
dress of forty. Three or four wish
to help thirty. while many are will

WILMINGTON ITS POPULATION and
RESOURCES.

The census returns for the city OF vii
mington for 1910, as given out, is abou
eighty seven thousand. This brings tC
mind the strange fact that for the las
seventy years Wilmington has maintained
a ratio of population compared to that OF
the United States somewhat peculiar.
Perhaps no other city, large or small, in
the entire Union has held so close a per-
centage. In all those years the city of
wilmington, in point of population, has
represented about as many thousand in
round numbers as the United States has
represented millions.
To illustrate In 1910 the population
of the United States was estimated at
seventeen millions; that of the city of
Wilmington at seventeen thousands. The
next census returns (lS50) gave the
United States about uttwenty-three millions,
while the city of Wilmington had in
creased to twenty-three thousands. In the
next decade (lS60) the population OF Will
had reached thirty-one thousands
and the United States had reached a cor
number of thirty-one millions. |
Ten years later (lS7O) the population Of
The United States had reached nearly !.
thirty nine millions; Wilmington was
quoted at about thirty-nine thousands. I
IN 1850 Wilmington population was less
han fifty thousand, the United States a
little beyond fifty millions. la 1890 the
OF the United States wAs about
lxty-three millions While WiImington's
was asaboutsiXty-twot thousands.
It the close OF the nineteeRth century the
OF the United states was about
evenly nine millions the city of VIII
nlngtOn very nearly that many thou
ands. Now that we have the figures Of
he city of Wilmington at a little more
nan eighty-seven thousand, We may con-
ude that the population OF the United ]
tates for the present census will be some
here around ninety millions.
Another curious feature OF Whining a
"a EDBAAdtAOu l1 kAab III sChCutl years -
has increased just seventy thousand ,
! 1882 it was first incorporated as city, y
ith population OF less than ten thou .
nd. The growth and development of d,
e city has not been entirely due to its y
tipping facilities by water, although :.
at has been an important auxiliary, but 3,
the fact that it early became railroad Sc
ntre. Another one of the forces. and ~
: no means the least, that have contrib =
ed to the city's growth, have been her
