EXPECTED RUMPU5
1T c. D. P. MEET
IS A Love FEAST
Republican Committee Ignores
East Orange Opposition to
Assemblyman Minard.

Every Regular County Republican
committeeman, with the possible ex-
ception of Major Carl Lentz. attended
last nights meeting of that body. They
were present under urgent orders be-
cause trouble was anticipated, but it
did not materialize. Instead, it was a
rather peaceful gathering and had all
the earmarks of a mutual admiration
gathering, when Assemblyman Duane
e. Minard was given a clear bill of
health and the plans for a prospective
barbecue were outlined.
Congressman r. Wayne Parker was
the lion of the social hour end Of the
meeting. In his usual lucid and i'm
pressive n the congressman out
lined in detail the work of the last ses-
sion, and was literally ~applauded when
he told his auditors the Republican
party was one of action, of deeds, while
the Democratic party had a record of
words and broken promises only to rely
upon.
MIR. Parker CLOVIS with G. o. p. Praise.
Mr.. Parker waxed warm in his praise
Of the beneficial features of the Payne

to the vast amoun of work performed
by the judiciary committee, of which
he was chairman, and seemed particu-

he was instrumental in having enacted

The Delta independent., 1910-12-16

HOtcnklSS is situated OH lHe
North Fork of the Gunnison river
in Delta county, Colorado, and is
reached by the Rio Grande railroad
and is getting a constant stream of
homeseekers.
This valley started only a few
years ago as a part of an Indian
reservation without a railroad. 1t
built up such a reputation for the
quality of it's fruits that eight years
ago the rails were laid to transport
the immense fruit crops. Without
the aid of the government or much
outside capital it has brought under
cultivation and irrigation, an i'm
mense area of land, most of which
lies on the mesas (tableland) which
are difficult to get water upon.
Without any booming it has taken
it's place at the head of the fruit
producing sections of the state.
The town has a population of
about 1000, pure mountain water
piped from a mountain stream, ell
ectric lights, two banks, two news
papers, two telephone systems,
first class hotel, Touring mill, an
evaporator, fruit packing houses AMI
a large number of good business
houses, beside four church organf-
cations, fine schools, including a
high school. A nsw high school
building has just been erected at a
of -fr, 10
saloon in the county.
Hotchkiss, being far from the sea,
enjoys practically cloudless eli
mate, and being high of altitude en-
joys a cool climate. This means a
great deal OF sunshine with no burn
ing heat. Quality depends on sun
shine. Quality also depends upon
climate. The humid warmth of the
fruit as grows in the crisp outdoor

fill Colorado fruit with juice, make
the apples crisp, the melons tender.
Incidentally, the climate which is
best for the apple and the peach, is
best for human b ing. Just as Colo

mildew on trees and vegetables, SO
it disposes of those blights that prey
upon humanity. Just as the cool
air gives the peach flavor, 1t gives
life flavor. The climate stim ulates.
soothes and energ'zc at once. Con-
sumption, asthma, hay fever, malaria
ague and rheumatism are amnog the
diseases that residence in Colorado
dispels. 1t is good for a sick man
or woman to come to Hotchkiss but
Hotchkiss is not sanitarium. Only
small proportion of those who
come here anually, come for their
health. New strength and vigor,
new courage and inspiration come
with the cool crisp air. with the
endless sunshine, with the peren-
nial blue sky, with the inspiring
view of the mountains, with the
open air life.

m RS life. The fast growing spirit of
progress of getting better results out
of life is breathed in every one
of the fertile valleys surrounding
Hotchkiss. The soil is a rich, red
sandy loan, easily worked, and un-
failingly fertile, and will raise all
kinds of crops.
Fruit Raising.
The fruit output of Colorado has
probably attracted more attention
in the East, than any other line of
Colorado farming on account of the
remarkable record of production and
profit. There are now just as many
opportunities in the way of new
lands as there were when the first
orchards were planted in Colorado.
The fruit grower of today profits by
the mistakes of the pioneer and
only sets out a few varieties of
the best commercial sorts. The mar
ket for Colorado fruit. instead of
being met by the supply, widens
faster than new orchards are brough
into bearing. Colorado fruit has
proven itself supreme in all mar
let's and Under all conditions. The
man who plants an orchard now un-
der favorable conditions. properly
located and well tended, is laying the
foundation for a large and sure in
come.
Hotchkiss is surrounded by
mountains so high and such con-
tinuous ridges that it is almost
completely protected against Storms
and cold waves. The valley is high
r than some of the other fruit val
leys of the state, but it's climate has
been adjudged the best of all, and
It's soil has been found to join with
he climate in producing that deli
cate and profitable distinction of
qra,ity which puts North Fork
truit in a class just ahead of lex
ira fancy all by itself.
The language of official reports
by disinterested experts, upon the
North Fork valley, exceeds in en-
.husiasm that of the residents. for
example: After Prof H. S. Van De-
man, pomologist of the agricultural
department at Washington. had Wis
| ted the valley he reported as fol-
lows: "In all my travels l have not
sen a more delightful place to grow
'ruit than the North Fork of the
iunnison river. The fruit interest
lere is beginning to override all
| ,thers, and orchards are being
planted in every direction. The
mesas or table lands are entirely
free from alkali properties and seem
to be best for fruit. They are ex-
ceedingly well adapted to all kinds
of deciduous fruits. The peach, ap-
r.cot and all deciduous fruits were
bearing profusely."
The apple is the great staple frrit
crop of Colorado. One peculiar
cause of the excellence of Colorado
apples is that the dry climate en-
ablss the orchardist to overcome the
coddling moth, another great advan-
tage of the Colorado apples raised
under irrigation is that the grower
is able to control the firmness and
juiciness of the fruit by methods

Strawberries will produce more

General Farming.
This is pre- em.nently fruit coun-
Try as evidenced by the large num-
Der of medals and premiums secured
at the Worlds Fair, state fairs and
Others, hut it is also one of the
pest sections for general farming in
Am erica. A great many men pin
their success in farming. not upon
one specially, but upon variety of
crops. For men of this kind the
opportunities of this valley are just
as great as for the specialist. The
same fertility of the soil and the
same favorable conditions, due to
the sunsnine and the ability to irri-
gate, make big crops of sugar beets,
potatoes, alfalfa, wheat, oats, bar
ley and other grains just as they
make big crops of fruit or other pro-
ducts.
n NJ Heistand, five miles from
Hotchkiss averages 1877 bushels of
oats to the acre.
Duke Frothers average 80 BUSH
els to the acre.
James Barnard raised forty acres
of oats that averaged 80 bushels to
the acre.
The Sugar Beet.
The sugar beet industry was in
troduced into this valley about six
years ago and has developed into a
regular mint for the farmers. Sta
tistics show that this is the banner
valley for that crop. The beets
average more sugar to the ton and
more tons to the acre, than any
where else in the country. Hence
the beet sugar factory at Grand
Junction is glad to get the beet at
$500 per ton straight. and do not
require them to be sliced.
The average in this valley near
Hotchkiss is a little more than 20
tons to the acre. John NJ. Smith.
one mile from town, averaged 80
tons to the acre one year. which
is conceded to be the beet record
for the world. Several other far
mers have raised more than thirty
tons to the acre.

Alfalfa.

Alfalfa.
Alfalfa is one of the steady reli-
able crops sown with small grain.
1t makes three full cuttings the
year afterward, and then is there
as long as the farmer wants 1t.
Three cuttings are usually made in
season, yielding about five tons to
the acre. 1t is the staff of life in
the Colorado barnyard. 1t is also
great fertilizer alfalfa ground"
makes better crops. produces bet
ter trees, and also restores land to
its virgin fertility. 1t is so rich that
1t cannot be cured except In the dry
climate. In the East. the hay musts
and spoils in the dampness. 1t Is
an admitted fact by scientific men,
that alfalfa is the greatest fertili-
zer known. consequently it is I'M
possible for land to deterioriate in
an alfalfa producing section.
Potatoes.
The potato is another very i'm
portant crop in the North Fork val
ley, because of the richness of the
soil. and with irrigation. potatoes
can be kept dry in the ripening
season. The Western Slope potatoes
are of a peculiarly good quality OF
even size. very smooth, and bring a
higher price than the famous Gree
ley potato. The railroad has made a
very low rate to the market, thus
enabling our farmers to compete
in the markets of the world
Galley four Hotchkiss
Poultry Raising.
The dryness of the Colorado at
mospbere is great advantage in
poultry raising. The abundance of
sunshine and abserce of raw,
damp weather is conductive to the
best development of porltry. with
the ability to produce feed cheaper
than in the east, to produce as
many eggs and chickens, and to get
higher prices for his output the year
round, the man who can make
living in the east raising poultry,
will get rich in Hotchkiss.
Bees and Honey.
II a person not robust in health
is desirous of making money, and
finds farming or fruit raising too
strenuous, the more simple life of
handling bees and honey is not only
a pleasure but profitable.
G. s. Henderson with 25 colonies
produced LOO lbs. of honey last
year. l.. s. Gelwym with 200 colonies
produced 5000 lbs. and F. II. DrexeI

orchards and thousands of acres of

Admission Day

OAKLAND. March IS. John Galen
Howard, advisory architect for the city
han plans, sat in conference this fore
noon with the heads of all departments
of the city government, to discuss the
proposed new building. The depart
ment heads gave him tentative ar
rangements of their floor space, and
discussed with him the locations of
their offices in the new structure.
Mayor Mott has said he hoped to have
the cornerstone of the new building
laid next Admission day.
City Electrician Babcock, now tour
ing the east to study the fire alarm
and police telegraph systems in use
in large cities, is expected to return
in two weeks. As soon after he gets
back as is possible the city, will begin
construction of the new building for
the local equipment. The plans can
not be prepared until he has decided
on the apparatus to be installed.
He has written to Mayor Mott that

improve the service and would save
$1,000 to the city. The fire alarm and
telegraph building must be completed
before the old city hall and adjacent
municipal buildings can be removed.

manently installed before other work
is undertaken. The fire alarm build
ing will be the first constructed under

FIVE POLICEMEN
HAILED ON CARPET
Commission Will Decide During
Week Whether to Try Four
on Charges

OAKLAND, March 26.-Five police-
men We're hailed before the board of
police and fire commissioners this morn
ing for an investigation of various
charges.
Action was taken by the commission
in only one case. that of Policeman A
B. Smith, who was called upon to ex-
plain why he permitted two suspects to
hold him up with revolver in the
street and take his weapon away from
him. His explanation seemed to suf-
fee, for at the close of the inquiry
Mayor Mott announced that Smiths
case had been dropped
The commissioners will announce on
next Wednesday what action is to be
taken in the other cases. The inves-
tigation was held behind closed doors,
its purpose being to determine whether
any of the charges merited public
trials
One such case is that of Policeman
H NJ McCready, whom James Pezos,
confectioner, accused of robbing him
of $3.50 one night when Pezos was ar
rested for being drunk. The charge
against Sergeant Michael Byrne is that
of mishandling evidence. He is said
to have lost a knife which was OBJ
tained in a raid on a Chinese joint
Bailiff J. +. Flynn and Patrolman
Con Keefe were also summoned and
their cases were continued until Wed
nesday. The commissioners had re-
ceived an anonymous letter accusing
the men of projecting poolroom in
