The Sugar Factory.
Delta. Colo. June 20. 1910.

Delta, Colo, June 20, 1910.
Dear Sir:
Do you want a sugar factory for
Delta? The table of statistics below
shows what sugar factory
for eleven of the most prosperous
towns in Colorado and gives the
source of information.
We believe that Delta will not
prove an exception and that If the
factory can be secured we will see
our population more than double.
and the values of our farm lands
increase in the same ratio as in the
above named cities.
II seems to be the impression of
many of our citizens that this fac
tory is already assured This is a
mistake. and we want you to under
stand that the facory is far from
being assured; that 1t is necessary
for the people of this community to
subscribe to 100000 of the stock
of the company before it will be as
snred: that there is yet $4,000 of
this stock to be placed. and this
stock must be subscribed for by July
l. or we lose the factory; Only n
few days remain for us to raise this
immense sum. and 1t cannot be
raised unless YOU do your share.
Arrangements have been made
whereby the beet growers and farm
ers may subscribe for stock and pay
for same in sugar beets. after the
factory is completed and in opera
ton. This makes it possible for
every beet grower in the valley to
own stock and share profit in the
as secure better market for their
beets and other farm products. II
you have not subscribed for stock in
the factory, won't you do IL now?
Ii you have subscribed. do not think
that your duty ends there. but get
out and induce your neighbor to do
his duty in regard to the matter.
From the statistics printed herein
you will agree that every acre of
land in the valley suitable for gen.
eral farm culture will be advanced
in value at least $50 per acre. That
being true, anyone owning 40 acres
OF land could well afford to donate
s. 900 toward the factory rather
tIan lose II, nut we are not asking
anyone to donate one cent; we only
ask you to subscribe for stock in a
factory to engage in the manufac-
tnre of an article that is the great
est staple in the civilized world; in
an article that has n ready market
and one of the most profitable in
vestments one can make in COM
munity where sugar beets are sue
cessfully grown.
If you have not subscribed. DO
1T NOW and help us to build
greater Delta and increase the gem
eral prosperity of our community
DO 1T NOW. Yours very truly,

Delta Barns and Horses Burn
Fire at Two O'Clock Yesterday Morning Caused
Considerable Loss Of Property.
Quick Action Prevented Flames from Spreading
@ Nearby Costly Buildings. Fire De-
partment Responded Promptly,
But Had Trouble with Plug.

Fire was discovered in the barn
at the rear of the Perkins hotel
yesterday morning at O'Clock.
An engineer on the ID. G. r. G.
was the first to make the discovery
and blew an alarm. The fire station
next rang out its call and a hur-
ried run was made but action de-
layed by trouble in getting the plug
open, and 1t was necessary to cross
the street to another plug.
The flames spread to the barns
owned by C. j. Anderson and Har-
vey Sumption. which. with the Per-
kins hotel barn were consumed.
Two horses and some poultry were
burned in the Perkins barn. along
with lot of groceries and other
stored goods. part of the building
having been in use as a warero,
for the hotel.
Nothing is known as to how the
fire was started. but it is supposed
that tramp had probably sought
the upper part to spend he night.
and that in some careless manner he
had started the blaze with matches
There was no wind blowing
the time. which no doubt saved Z
much greater loss. as some of the
better buildings. including the Per
kins hotel. were only kept from
igniting by hard work.
The entire loss of the buildings
and their contents will probably
reach about 5000.

Defunct Bank of Ouray
Affairs Closed by Court.

After three years the affairs of
the Bank of Ouray, which failed in
January. 1907, are being wound up
by the district court
OF the 100000 for which the
bank failed, it is estimated that
s6S,0O0 will have been realized from
Its assets. the remainder of which
New York parties have made an of
fer of $4,000 for. This comprises
several pieces of real estate.
The failure of this bank was one
of the most sensational in the state
at the time. District Judge Theron
Stevens. with other prominent citi-
zens. officers of the bank, were in
dicted for receiving money after they
knew the bank to be insolvent
Judge Stevens. who had gone to
Nevada. returned and turned over
what property he had to help pay
depositors. The indictments Were
later Quashed.

The North Fork Country.

No visitor has seen what he
should see of Delta county until he
has viewed the North Fork country.
This can most easily be done by
taking the North Fork standard
gauge railroad from Delta, which
passes through Austin, Hotchkiss
and Paonia, the two latter being OF
the big towns of the county, while
Austin is young but growing,
coming town.
There are few sections of the
world that can boast more beauty of
location than can Paonia and Hotch-
kiss, and couple with it so great a
productive area, where field and or
chard vie with each other in piling
up wealth for their owners.
Here the mountain foothills. val
valleys and mesas combine their
charms. the soil contributing it's
richness to the health giving ad-
vantages of satisfactory altitude.
pure air and abundance of the best
of water.
Year after year the North Fork
section leads in fruit raising and
shipments, while the many other
productive resources and industries
are too well known to call for re-
peated mention.
Great is Delta county, and the
North Fork section is of it's rich
est, most beautiful and most prolific
parts.

Delta County Must
Ever he Prosperous.

Ever he prosperous.
With such a diversity of products
a partial failure in one or two of
them Is little more than a fleeting
dream. II is hardly possible for
the fruit crop TO be an entire fail
ure any year. for some of the va
rieties bear, and in the case of the
nearest failure on record there has
been more than n home supply. 1t
would be nice. of course. II every
crop could be perfect. as was the case
last year. but no spot on earth has
made that kind of history.
In the present year sugar beets.
potatoes. grains. all field and garden
products. promise full yields, and
each is a money maker for the far
mer. well up to the average profits
of the orchard.
Along fruit lines we have already
had harvest of strawberries and
cherries, while other small fruits
are ripening. Apricots and peaches
will soon be along. while there will
be early apples and pears later.
Regarding the winter apple crop
and the commercial fruit yield gem
orally. that must be reported for
this season as partial failure,
though 1t will not fail to bring money
into the county. All in all. the peo-
pie of the county will prosper. not
as they did last year. perhaps. but
rs they do on an average. They will
live we'll, be healthy and happy. and
the bank deposits will continue to
increase in Delta county.
