Orders By Telephone
Are Often Ertrapagant.

High prices of food are due as much
to the extravagances of American
women who have the spending of the
wages of American workingmen as to
the avarice of the tariff protected
millionaires. When a woman goes to
her telephone to order the dinner she
helps to initiate the cost of living. for
she orders more extravagantly than if
she went to the store with the money
in her hand. This is what makes the
telephone doubtful blessing, but
since We cannot get along without it
some attempt at self reform should be
made by the woman. She cannot blame
the butcher, the grocer or the farmer
If her bills are high if she makes no at
tempt to keep them down. We are all
living too high. 1t would surprise a
housewife If she started out to cut
down to see how much she can save il
she tries. And it is not necessary for
her to go to convention and debate
and resolve to do it, either.

Spring on Western Slope.

While it may be a little early for put
ting in such a claim. it seems that
spring has really arrived on the West
ern Slope.
The weather has been mostly mild
since the middle of January and for the
past two weeks most of the days have
been not only spring like. but some of
them have approached quite near to
summers heat.
Around Delta considerable farm land
has been plowed and narrowed and is
ready for the seeding, and preparatory
work along farming lines is generally
under way. In places the grass is be-
ginning to show green. while the roads
are generally dry and dusty.
With it all the nights have been
sufficiently cool to retard unwarranted
advance of fruit buds.
Naturally colder weather is expected
through April, but even the squally,
cratic weather of that month may, this
season, prove an agreeable exception to
the rule. All Indications point to an
exceptionally early spring.

That Improvement Fund.

EDITOR OF DELTA INDEPENDENT,
SIR:-During the administration of
Governor Peabody the General Assem-
bly, passed bill appropriating s4OOOfor
the construction of a wagon road from
the town of Irwin in Gunnison county
to Somerset, the idea being to furnish
an outlet for the North Fork fruit and
produce.
Subsequently Mr.. Kasper Presler of
Mt. Carbon wrs awarded a contract for
the construction of a certain amount of
the road for the sum of S2975 and a
warrant was issued to Mr.. Presler for
this amount, being payment in tull for
the work done under the contract.
The balance of the amount appropri-
ated, twenty-five per cent of the total,
was expended in administration ex-
penses. During the session of the last
General Assembly Mr.. Presler bobs up
and through the kindly efforts of Mr..
son county, gets relief bill passed al
lowing him an extra sum of SITS, in
further payment for the work for which
he had acknowledged payment In full.
This latter amount, Mr.. kenehan, state
auditor, being evidently from Missouri,
has been able so far to Withhold from
Mr.. Presler, thus getting himself very
much disliked by that gentleman.
The last General Assembly also
passed bill appropriating $1,000 for
the further prosecution of this work.
The results secured by the expendi-
ture of the original sum appropriated,
to say nothing of the relief" funds,
are so absurdly out of proportion as to
amount to joke to any one familiar
with the situation.
1t is quite within reason to say that
thousand dollars honestly expended
would show far better results. The
whole project is of very questionable
value for the reason that it is at present
impracticable to get a wagon from
Paonia to Somerset-there is no road
through the town of Somerset and to
construct a wagon road from Somerset
to the mouth of Anthracite would cost
at least $1,000. But putting this aside
the writer feels that the sum now
available for the prosecution of this
work should be expended from Somer-
set up the canon as far as it will go
thus affording little relief to the set
tiers in the canon who are nowand have
been for years, obliged to pack supplies
in on horses.
1t would also be interesting to know
into whose bank account the relief
fund would finally settle in case Mr..
Kenehan is obliged to pay it.

Prediction That Season Will
Be Early and Less to Con-
tend With Than Usual.
Mountain Storage of Water Fair
and Gunnison Tunnel Supply
Will Be Ready.--Bumper
Season Is Expected.

There is every reason to anticipate
a good crop year for Delta county.
That of last year was a splendid record
and drew worldwide attention.
The fruit outlook is good at this time
and the early setting in of spring prom
ises less to expect from April frosts.
In case there should be frosts, a ma
jority of orchardists are well prepared
to smudge.
The soil is in splennid condition for
other crops and the fine spring weather
has set farmers as busy as bees. Stock
men are jubilant over the manner in
which cattle have come through the
winter. With the snow storage and the
Gunnison tunnel open to help out the
supply of water for irrigation, there is
every prospect at this time for bumper
crops and excellent reason for general
rejoicing.

Della Should Haze Day Current

There are many reasons why Delta
should have day al well - night cur
rent
1t is a step in progress and would
serve the needs Of many people.
The matter is drag for two reasons:
The Electric Light Company does not
feel like starting day current without
a guarantee of enough patronage to
pay expenses. and the peop'e who might
benefit by such n service have been
slowabout coming forward to help the
matter out.
There should be easily enough who
would use electrical devices through the
day to make up the necessary expense
account.
Such n current would supply the ideal
power for operating machinery, fans,
irons and many small devices.
We suggest that the people of Delta
take this matter up at once and get
n day current.

Montrose Stockmen 10 Stay
Win Old Organization.

At meeting Of Montrose stockmen
last Saturday it was decided to stay
with the old State Association and to
change the name of the local organiza-
tion from Montrose County Cattle and
Horse Growers Association to the
Uncompahgre Valley Stock Growers
Association.
The meeting is reported to have been
large and enthusiastic one. 1t was
called to order by Al Neale, vice-presi-
dent of the Montrose Association. A
number of the officials of the State as
sociation were present. Routine busi-
ness of generel nature was trans
acted. Stray-day was discussed but
no decision arrived at.

Neighboring Topns Are
Troubled Win Bootlegeers.

Montrose and Grand Junction seem
sorely afflicted with bootleggers and
even Olathe has an occasional case.
At the two former mentioned towns
there is a chronicle of police and other
court records published in every issue
of their papers.
Delta county doesn't seem to be
troubled with but very little of this
class of lawlessness. Once in a great
while some poor devil is hauled up for
alleged whiskey selling. but the cases
are SO rare as to create little comment
But Delta county appears to have less
lawless people than any other county.

Sfapleton Salutes.

Iuesuds dAleIHoOii dppedEed De1OTt
Justice Fairlamb at the court house,
Walter Gallup, ranchman on Garnet
mesa, charged with assault
Mr.. Stapleton, clerk at Hillman S,
testified that, while passing the resi-
dence of Mr.. Gallup, that gentleman
threw rock at him and hit him; that
he, at the time, occupied an automobile
in which himself and some young ladies
were riding. He testified, as did the
young ladies in his company, that when
previously passing the Gallup residence,
he had raised his hand in salute to Mrs.
Gallup, who was sitting on the front
porch.
Mr.. Gallup testified that the form of
salute used by Stapleton to his wife
was a kiss thrown in her direction, fol-
lowed by ha! ha! Said he was sitting
back of his wife on the front porch and
plainly saw and heard; said that Mrs.
Gallup remarked in a Mortified tone:
Ibid you see what that-man did?''
Said he rushed to the road bnt was toe
late, as the auto had gone by.
1t seems that bit of bad road was
ahead and the autoists had to turn back.
When repassing the Gallup place the
stone throwing occurred, accompanied
by the use of a fowl name toward
Stapleton. The alleged stone, which
looked like it would weigh pound or
more, was exhibited in court by Mr..
Gallup, who admitted the charge, ad-
mitted his anger at what he declared
to be an insult offered his wife and
made no denial of the accusation of as
sault. The testimony of Mrs. Gallup
was in line with that of her husband.
Joseph McGraw who was driving the
auto, presented signed statement to
the effect that he was driving the auto
mobile, watching the road and knew
nothing of what was going on behind
him.
iff and A. r. King for the defendant.
The trial was by jury. Mr.. Walker s
address to the jury cited the plain and
admitted breach of laws violation.
Judge King appealed to the unwritten
law of a mans right to protect his fam
lily from insult. The jury required but
about five minutes to arrive at de-
cision, which was: Not Guilty."
Upon the merits of this case or the
declaration made, the INDEPENDENT
has no desire to comment. From cur
rent reports it would seem that the day
was a generally unfortunate one for
Stapleton. Reports say it was his
birthday, that he was celebrating the
event, that on the automobile trip he
got hit with rock and also lost his
watch; that on the night of that day
some thief entered his room and ap-
propriated his savings of sl7.50

Great Difference in Climate.

There is vast climatic difference
now between Delta county and the
East. AS far south as St. Louis, deep
snow and mercury 6 below zero was the
condition few days ago. Cold waves,
alternated by snow and rain storms
have prevailed throughout the East and
Middle States. In the northwestern
states heavy SHOWS have occurred and
destructive slides, causing scores Of
deaths have Furnished sensational head
lines for the daily newspapers. In
Delta county the weather has been
almost like summer. farming is in
progress and dry roads are strung with
automobiles.

Shortage of Houses.

Much complaint is heard about lack
Of houses for those who are every week
coming to Delta. Mr.. Taylor. of the
Business Mems Association says he has
constant inquiry for houses to rent
from people who announce their COM
ing and that. during the past winter
dozens of families were compelled to go
elsewhere who wanted to spend the
winter in Delta. The crowded condi-
tion Of our schools is another situation
which demands immediate action.
Pupils have been unable. to enter the
departments this season for lack Of
room. What will 1t be by next season?

orchards last season attested their
genuine worth.
land is all good, and the saying is true,
practically. of any land which can be
irrigated. Some sections may have
soil better adapted to some products
than others, but the valley and mesa
lands of Delta county will average well
on the whole. Any of our land with
water is valuable. 1t is the extent to
which certain tracts are improved which
makes them so much more valuable
than others.
These lands are capable of producing
from three times to five times as much
per acre in a years crop. as are the
best of the lands in the middle. eastern
or northern agricultural states.
Their products have won prizes when
ever and wherever exhibited. First
premiums on fruits, on sugar beets, on
oats, on potatoes. on squashes, on
cantaloupes, On cauliflower, on toma-
toes and on nearly everything in their
long list of products.
From Delta goes potatoes to New
York's swellest tables. To London go
our apples, some of which are set be-
fore the King. In every city OF the
land our magnificent products find a
clamorous market demand. And in all
respects but the merest beginning has
been made.
Our land has produced more than
thousand dollars an acre in a single
fruit crop, $500 to $500 an acre in vege-
tables and melons, 500 to $3.50 an acre
in grains. SIS an acre in hay. And the
half has never been told.
