Austin Postmaster Dead
After n Protracted Illness.

Elmer Ellsworth Landreth. fifty
years of age, postmaster at Austin

l o'clock Monday morning, Novem-
ber 18th. of heart failure. He
leaves to mourn his untimely death,

highly probable, according to re-
ports, that she will succeed to the

City Water Supply Cut Off
For Twenty-Four Hours.

The city water system was almost
entirely out of commission for over
twenty-four hours the latter part OF
last week and for two or three
hours last Friday afternoon. no one
seemed to know the reason there
for. They simply knew that they
needed water and that there was
none to be had.
Dan Wagner. water com missioner,
proceeded at once to get busy with
a force of men and after long and
diligent search of the water main
a break was found in the line at
point in the cedars some eight or
ten miles distant from the city which
was caused by a rock and land
slide following the wind and snow
storm Thursday night.
The water commissioner and his
forces thereupon got busy and work
ed All through the night Friday, in
n fierce wind storm and by o.
clock saturday night, all neces-
sary repairs were made and 1t was
not long until the water service
was restored. as well as the even
temper of the housekeeping citizens.
The work of installing the modern
centrifugal pump near the North
Delta bridge for emergency cases
is progressing nicely and In the
future there will be no cessation
of the water supply when unavoid-
able accidents happen to the mains
from mountain reservoirs.

DELTA FRONTAGE TAX DE-
CLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Matter of Importance to All Prop
erty Owners of City-SOme
Have Paid.

A decision of much more than
average moment to the citizens and
taxpayers of this city was rendered
by Judge Sprigg Shackelford at
Grand Junction last Saturday. This
decision was rendered following a
hearing and the presentation of is
sues involved by Attorney Dicker-
son for the city of Delta and Attor-
ney Millard Fairlamb for the de-
fendant, in a case entitled, the CITY
of Delta VS.. T. E. Lamb.
Mr.. Lamb is the owner of sew
eral lots in this city facing the
water main and he has fatty re-
fused to comply with an ordinance
demanding 50 lot frontage tax.
Other property owners, like Mr.
Lamb, refused to pay the frontage
tax and all were united in making
this test of the constitutionality OF
the city ordinance.
The city contended that it had
the right to collect the frontage
tax. even on lots in the outskirts of
the city, fronting on water mains
because of the benefits conferred
to such property and the natural
increase in value derived thereby.
The defendant claim. however,
was that the tax was not enforced
on the proper theory. for it result
ed in making a property like the
Delta National bank building. Occu-
pying two lots and valued at s6O,-
600 or $4,000, pay no more front
age tax than would the same space
of ground in a suburban section of
the city.
The court held that the law was
unconstitutional and that the city
could collect a tax for its water
works system either by collecting
IIwater rents or by levying a tax of
so many mills against all property
within the city limits.
And the result of this decision
is that those persons who have al
ready paid their frontage tax are
doubly relieved from SO doing by
reason of already having paid the
amo7s.k. and by not having to mee1
the demands of an unconstitutional
ordinance Those who have not pait
will not have TO pay, and those
who have paid will confront query

Many Enthusiastic Boosters Go
From Delta to the Apple Sho


Some $50 or 200 residents of this
city and vicinity were passengers
for Denver to attend the National
Apple Show last Sunday. The Sur
face Creek and North Fork people,
that is great majority of them,
chose the Marshall pass route and
went out in the morning, having en-
gagged Pullman coaches out Oh
Salida, but the Delta people had
two Pullmans here and made the trip
via Grand Junction and Tennessee
pass, leaving here at S:45 in the
afternoon.
There was to have been spec
ial train from this county but the
Paonia people chose to be exclusive
to so it alone, as it were, and the
special train plan was dropped. Ac-
cording to Art Graham, however,
Paonia had its own special tram
of eight cars, its own cornet bano'
all paid for and was. ready to take
its own glory, prizes or whatever
happened to be given at the big
show.
One of the Denver dailies. in ire
ferring to the exhibits and arriv-
ais from this section, had the fol-
lowing;

DELTA TEAMS MET WITH
DEFEAT AT GRAND JUNCTION
over Hundred RoOters Faced the

special tram, awoke from their
siumDers ana MADE for the depot
at 500. 1he wind was blowing
IuriousIy too, and many, with a
sign and yawn, gave up the jour
couches. A hundred and twenty
five, however, were brave enough to
lace anything, remembering the
promised barbecue and dance to
follow the games, and they filed
along TO the depot and were soon
in the city where defeat awaited
them insofar as the contests were
concerned.
The frst half of the football
game showed a score of IL to sin
Iayor of the Junction tigeIs-an en-
tirely one-sided affair-because of
a lack of life and proper energy on
the part of the Delta team, but
In the second half the boys came
uu with the proper ginger and held
The score down to a zero point. A
junction man remarked in the hear
ing OF an Independent scribe since
the game, that this same giner in
the first half would have placed the
csalps on the Deltba elts. The score
at the finish stood II to in favor
of the Mesa county team
The Delta basketball team also
Commenting on the game. the
Grand Junction Sentinel had the
following to say:
The football game was played in
the bitter cold and on frozen field.
but the two teams fought each othe
with vim that was surprising. Del
Ia was too slow to stand much of
back. Ed Hider, taken from the
field with injuries, they siumped.
Stars of the local team were Hines,
Ross. Rhone and Walker. while the
entire team played with ginger good
to see. The scores were made by
Rhone and Walker, with one goal
kicked by Steele. A fluke forward
pass, when cold hands kept Hines
from holding the leather, gave Del
ta n touchdown. No goal was made.
The basket ball game was a clean
victory for the local girls. giving
them four strgaiht victories. Delta
scored largely in the first half by
the fast work of Winifred Castle.
but in the second half, Virginia
Wheeler. who was put in as guard,
kept down the scoring.
Following the basketball game
the teams and supporters from both
sides enjoyed a dance and barbecue
in Margery hall. The hall was deco
rated with green and white and gold
and black streamers. and the even
ing was an enjoyable one.

DO NOT CONSIDER BROAD
GUAGlNG MARSHALL PASS
Officials Of Rio Grande System Say
1t is Out of the Question at
Present.

There has long been a hope in
this section of the state. where a
single line railway handles all of a
rapidly increasing business, that
that one road would soon realize
the necessities for better facilities
with which to meet such demands.
and that the present narrow tracks
between Montrose and Salida would
be broadened. But there has come
chill for these hopes in a state
ment recently made by President
Jeffery. who must certainly know
whereof he speaks.
This statement was made to the
new editor of the Gunnison News
Champion. who at that time was a
member of the Associated Press news
gathering force and we herewith pre-.
sent the substance of that inter
view:
Mr.. Jeffery was asked explicitly
concerning the reports of plans to
broad-guage the line between Salida
to Grand Junction over Marshall
pass. He replied that the officials
were not even considering such a
ton until securities sufficient TO
cover the cost of the project had
been sold. He further stated that
no attempt was being made at that
time to dispose of more bonds of the
road. The utter futility of even
hoping for such development in the
near future was plainly indicated in
Mr.. Jeffery's tone. Now there has
been considerable Glamour in the
Western Slope press for a broad
guage road in the place of the pres
ent inadequate narrowguage line,
and many hints have been made of
the near approach of the time when
the much desired and greatly needed
improvement would become an ac-
complished fact. Can these reports
have originated from the accidental
expressions incident to idle gossip
or were they gradually developed
from well laid plans of officials OF
the road resident in Colorado for
appeasing a persistent demand OF
neglected section of the state!
And was President Jeffery denied
knowledge of the plans and kept in
I vi hostr IL Piahs
there were? We wonder"
To be sure the broad -guaging oi
Marshall pass would not meet all
the requirements in this section OF
the state. but it would help very
materially. for We might easily ex-
pect more cars by way of Salida,
which is one of the company's prin-
cipal division points. And there too
when our rush is on with fruit and
other crops, as 1t is now, we would
not be compelled to ship the stuff
west for a distance of fifty or sixty
miles and then circle around three
or four hundred to the east to
reach Pueblo and Denver. There
is a crying demand for cars just now
to say nothing of a shorter haul.

Renters Appear Plenty.

1t would seem that there is a
good demand for farms in Delta
counyt to rent.
Two weeks ago a small ad was
placedd in the Independent offer
ing a farm for rent. The farm was

came out and it is claimed that
there were more than fifty inQuir-
les. some of the applications COM

THOUGHT HIMSELF TO BE
STUNG JUST FOR A MOMENT
Local Merchant Got Hold of a
$1,000 Bill Which He COnsid-
cred Counterfeit.

Harry Faulkner, of the Faux
ner-Herrick pool and billiard par
lors on Main street, was one of the
local residents who had read the
report of the circulation of many
hundreds of dollars worth of ten
dollar counterfeit bills throughout
Colorado, in columns of the Denver
daily papers. He remembered that
the bill was a duplicate of the is
sue of Anglo-London-Par national
bank tens and naturally when he
the description given, he thought
got hold of one tallying exactly with
himself "stung' for that amount.
Harry took the bill over to the
Delta National, where a careful ex-
animation was made, and when he
came out there was more cheerful
look upon his face, for he was in
formed that his strip of currency
was as good as was ever passed
over the counter. 1t was one of the
lawful issue of that description, but
Harry had thought himself just
fake.
There are many OF those coun-
terfeit tens now in circulation, it
is said, though many have already
been taken up. The bills were made
from perfect plates, are an exact
copy of the real issue and were worn
Just enough before being put out
to seem genuine. Banking house
people state that the spurious bill
is not so easy to detect and there
would be nothing strange to find
one or more of the bills in posses
sion of even the most careful busi-
ness man.
MIR. Faulkner made change for
the bill last Monday and did not
remember who got the change. He
wouldn't have known who to look
for, had the bill proven counterfeit.
