COLD STORAGE
PLANT COMING
PENNSYLVANIA CAPITAL SNAPS
OPPORTUNITY OFFERED BY
DELTA FIELD.
Money Has Been Deposited in a Lo-

Brick Have Been Engaged
and the Land For the
Building Secured.

In the matter of the cold storage
plant proposed to be erected in
Delta, and which was mentioned in
last weeks Independent, much
gratifying progress has apparently
been made.
Mr.. Fred ]. Hadley, who was
looking up a location for Pittsburg,
Pa, parties, came to Delta and was
so favorably impressed with the field
that he Immediately closed matters,
temporarily, by selecting site
for the plant not far from the d. &
R. G. depot. 1t is also said that
three quarters of a million brick
were contracted for with the Delta
Brick and Tile Company to go into
the building, and that the sum of
SIS 200 was deposited in a local
bank as a financial starter. Mr..
Hadley and his friends are to be
here in the course of another week
to actively take up the work of
erecting the plant.
This is the story as told and
commonly talked upon the street,
and it has the ring of true busi-
ness investment to a degree greatly
exceeding many of the promotion
plans for local industries afoot, and
in Importance with which it ranks
favorably.
AS matter of fact quick,
sound business perception is all
that is necessary upon the part of
capital to arrive at conclusions in
favor of a field such as Delta coun-
ty offers. and men with money to
invest are ready to close with the
opportunities. The Independent has
ever held that these opportunities
would not continue to knock at
capitals door always and the strife
now becoming apparent, is begin

course. by the number of contracts
secured for power. Orders can be
placed now at any time for electrical
appliances for household or shops.
The establishing of day current
is an important advance by the Light
company and one which will be ap-
preciated by the number who have
been waiting and hoping for.
Those who can use small applianc-
es, such as electric irons, or have use
for small individual motors, which
come in so handy and can be used
to great advantage. should see the

Big Fruit Crop Follows
Mild January, Say
Old Time Residents.

oHu iInle INS<1ucutS.
The above is statement readily
vouched for by old timers of Delta
county.
f. F. Hubbard. when asked II
this had been the usual record said :
Yes. have lived here for II
years, and have always noticed that
big fruit crop followed a winter
when the weather in January was
mild"
Other farmers and fruit growers
have affirmed this as matter of
almost If not quite unfailing history
in this respect.
All will hope that the rule will
hold good this year, as 1t seems
to have done in the past. Without
its significance there is good rea-
son to predict n big fruit crop this
year in Delta county. one of the
best reasons being the splendid con-
dition of the orchards. which were
rested last year by the light crop.

Ii is learned on good authority
that a syndicate of capitalists are
seriously considering the construc-

between this city and Delta in the
very near future.
While the detailed plans are not
made public it is said that careful
canvass of the situation has con-
vinced the monied men that such
a railroad would be profitable soon
after operation is begun.
Those interested have desired that
their names be withheld until such
time as their plans have sufficiently
matured TO give greater detail of
the project.-Grand Junction Senti-

this issue of The Independent. Its
contents, however. are fairly well
known as the agreements forming its
parts have been read, discussed
and revised at different public meet
ings for the past two months. In
its present form it has been accepted
by the committees of the several as
sociations, and its contents have
been drawn largely in accord with
the dictations and stated proposition
of the Western Land & Sugar COM
pany. it is reasonable to suppose
that II will meet the full approval of
that company and will be signed up
at once by and for all concerned.
This will settle the matter of
sugar factory for Delta. as far as the
preliminary contracts and plans can
go. The next thing will be for every
body to get busy In aid OF the re-
quirements asked. A pledge of acre
age ought not to be a very difficult
task, as growers seem enthusiastic.
The cooperative system of subscrip-
tion. as outlined. may be even less
difficult. under the easy terms pro-
posed. and when such favorable re-
suits can be assured.
With the arrangements in this
matter all accomplished. our people
can have additional time to plan
aid and encouragement to the new
railroads which are to be built to
haul beets from newly developed
territory to the factory.
