Shii ping from the Crystal Falls

The cold weather Of the past week has
hampeied operations to considerable
degree at the docks where the frozen
ore in the cars gives all kinds of
trouble.
The Mansfield mine finished it's
stockpile work last week but shipments
continued from the pockets. II is ex-
pected that the pocket work will soon
be shut OH also
The Corrigan Mckinney mines ex-
poet to keep mp pocket shipments from
all of their properties until about the
goth OF this month.
During the week another chunk Of
Great Western ore was sent Co the
docks. the shovel finishing up it's work
on Thursday. That winds up stock
pile shipments from the Corrigan
Mckinney mines for this year so tar
as the local officials know Of
This group OF mines has shipped
lot OF ore during 1911, although tne
tonnage figured upon at the beginning
OF the year, especially in stocked ma
terial, was not equaled. The Corrigan.
Mckinney mines made better output.
from appearances, than any of the
other independent companies in the
county for the past year.
The Bristol mine is making more of
a stir inst now than any of the other
mines The shovel is digging in in an
effort TO send away as much OF the
stocked ore rs possible before the ship
ping is shut Off supt Blork expects
to keep going Tor about two weeks
more and by that time. there ought to
be big hole in the pile but tbe whole
OF it will not be gone by long way.

Hiram Burritt Wins First Prize
in Coop. Letter Writing Contest.
Following are the three letters
which took the prizes offered by the
Cooperative Telephone company:
The Delta independent., 1911-09-01

Third prize letter, by Miss Win
ME Ash of Delta:
The people should support the
Cooperative Telephone company
because of the following reasons:
First, the Cooperative Telephone
company is an association of users
a. well as owners of the telephone
service, operating their own lines
ut cost or at such terms as may be
mutually agreeable to a majority of
all stockholders.
Second, the telephone is an in
vention which has become a public
necessity, therefore to have it man
aged for the best interest of the
public, the people must own it. All
things commonly used should be
commonly owned.
Third. the only means of pro-
tecting the owners of any public
utility against extortion, bad ser
vice and unsatisfactory conditions
is for the users of such to be the
owners of the service.
Fourth. we know that if it were
not for the Cooperative Telephone
company, the service would be mon
opolized by the Colorado company
and a much higher rental would be
charged for the same.
Fifth, all benefits derived from
the COOPERATIVE company are for
the home people.
Sixth, the users do not have to
pay extra for long distance service
in the county as do the users of
the Colorado telephone.
The Delta independent., 1911-09-01

Second prize letter, by Clarence
Drexel of Crawford:
Six reasons for supporting the
Cooperative Telephone company:
First-Because it is run in the
interest of the people, cheap, while
the Colorado company is run in the
interest of a few at a big profit.
Second-Co-Opera subscrib-
ers pay no toll all through the
county and can talk a long time
unless the line is very busy. Com
pare this with the Colorado com
pany's ways.
Third-Because with a large list,
of subscribers the Cooperative Co.
can build more lines and give great
er service at a less cost.
Fourth-Because the subscribers
are offered a chance to pay
for rent and stock in work and ma
teriai, instead of cash, as is neces-
sary with the Colorado Telephone
company.
Fifth Because a liberal support
of the Delta County Cooperative
Telephone company, making it able
to grow strong, will give our neigh
bors in other counties good exam
pie. so That they may learn to take
up the work and form companies of
their own.
Sixth-Because in this way the
people would build a chain of tele-
phone lines operated in the inter
est of the people, and hasten the

(Hiram Burritt. }

(Hiram Burritt.)
The first important reason is
that the COOPERATIVE company gives
better service than its competi-
tor, at lower rates. Better service
because it has more subscribers and
more exchanges. Lower rates be-
cause there are no toll charges. When
subscriber pays his rent he has
the free use of his telephone. An
otler reason, more important than
the first, but not so quickly appre-
Ciated, is that We are setting be-
fore the people of other communi-
ties an example of what co-opera-
ton Will do. We are showing them
that rates charged for telephone
service outside of Delta county, are
too high, and that it is unnecessary
to be robbed by the telephone trust.
This is causing dissatisfaction
with existing circumstances and
creating a demand for reasonable
rates. The telephone history of
the future will read either corpora
ton or Cooperation Either
failure for the small company or
success for all who work together.
Now we ask nobody to support
this principle at the expense of his
pocketbook Anyone needing tele-
phone service can do no better than
have a COOPERATIVE telephone in
stalled. He will in this way obtain
superior telephone service and show
that he is on the right side of the
monopoly fence.

ITCHED SO COULD NOT SLEEP

81 suffered from the early part of
December until nearly the beginning
of March with severe skin eruptions
on my face and scalp. At first I
treated it as a trivial matter. But
after having used CASTLE soap, medi-
Gated washrags, cold cream, vanish
ing cream, ETC., found no relief what
ever. After that I diagnosed my case
as eczema, because of its dry, scaly
appearance. The itching and burning
of my scalp became SO intense that /
thought I should go mad, having not
slept regularly for months past, only
at intervals, waking up now and then
because of the burning and itching of
my skin. Having read different tes-
timonials of cures by the Cuticura
Remedies, I decided to purchase a box
OF Cuticura Ointment and a cake of
Cuticura Soap. After using them for
a few days I recognized a marked
change in my condition. I bought
about two boxes Of Cuticura Ointment
and five cakes of Cuticura Soap in all,
and after a few days I was entirely
free from the itching and burning.
NY eczema was entirely cured, all
due to using Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment daily. Hereafter I will never
be without a cake of Cuticura Soap on
my Washstand. ! highly recommend

the Corean. His ordinary swear word
is "Oenuma!" or You brute!" The
japanese have the same partially for
this term of endearment But accord

the Corean considers himself espe-

When he wants to call somebody
down the Corean demands hotly:
Are you not my child? Z" And the
angry retort is: What! your child !?
You are my grandchild!"
Then the first goes a step further
and cries, You are a grandchild OF
