1t is doubtless matter of more
than passing interest tu the people
of San Juan county that a few
wealthy men Of Bellingham have
found it necessary to buy the Amer
rican and Reveille of that town.
Whether they are paying the price
for the privilege of beheading the
monster or for the purpose Of run

ditions for the relief afforded BY
statewide prohibition.

But little opposition to the pro-
posed water supply, sewers, and
perhaps other improvements has de-
veloped, and the people of Friday
Harbor seem to be generally in IA
vor of them. A few people are in
clined to take chances on a drilled
we'll for water supply, but there is
no assurance that a we'll would fur
nish the supply needed. The well
water found here is unfit for domes-
tic USES, for boilers or manufactur-
ing purposes, on account of its hard
ness, and the amount of lime con-
tanned in it. Anyone can ascertain
that fact by observing the action of
the water in teakettle. A deposit
of lime will be evident after a few
weeks use. The lake water. on the
contrary. is soft, and much better
adapted for domesti. uses. The
quality of the lake water is much
better than the average supply of
cities and towns of the state. Bust

Mere Gossip

The weekly gathering of the
ladies of the guild are fruitful
source Of news. gossip and good
stories, and this one deserves the
top of the column position.
The newlyweds have a little
cherub of some months which at
tended meeting with it's mamma.
There came also a lazy of the guild
with prize consisting Of piece of
Holland linen 80 years old, which it
was proposed to make up into seve-
raj fine doilies. The precious linen
was laid out in state on a couch
with a turkey red cover, where it
would be safe. Pretty soon it was
found necessary to put the little
Newlywet on the couch out of the
way. 1t was deposited carefully on
the fine linen. Some time after
ward, when about to attack the fine
linen with the scissors. that valu-
able heirloom was found to have
also absorbed some local color from
it's proximity to the baby and the
turkey red. One of the ladies vol
unteered to take the linen home and
renovate it, which she did. The
man Of the house also arrived. and
noticing that his small boy had a
dirty face, he seized upon the linen
reposing handil' in basin. and Re
gan to scrub the kids face with it.,
until the screams Of his wife and a
rapid explanation ended the story of
the misplaced baby.
A neighbor has somewhat new
Swedish maid WHO occasionally
waits upon the table. Being in
doubt one day as to whether her
services at table were desired, she
acked, ''Skoll we have hand pass, or

In view of the activities of the
Guilds, the Ladies Aids and like
organizations, how easily they could
put the men to rout if they should
go into politics.

The PIT. Townsend Commercial
club is devoting it's activities to Sc
cure the re-establishment of Route
1902 which provides for the return
of the Rosalie by way of the islands.
We fail to see the necessity for this
or where it would be of any ap-
preciable benefit to this county.
The only point gained would be in
the delivery of handful of mail
from this point to Richardson and
PIT. Townsend. The change would
not improve the passenger or freight
service between island points, Sc
attic and Bellingham to any extent
that would justify the expense.

CATTLE OF COUNTY ARE
MAKING GOOD SHIPMENTS
KiIlian of Delta Goes Into the
Market With Some Very Fine
Beef Steers.

The long, heavily loaded trains
pulling away from Delta yards at
this season are not all fruit, sugar
beets and potatoes, as one might cas-
lily be led to infer. The stockman
is an important factor in the pro-
ductive power of our people and pro-
gressive spirit of the district and
his part is a very essential one.
Every week big shipments of fine
well bred cattle go out from here
to Denver and eastern markets to
get top price, for market men have
long since come to know that there's
nLy in our beef as well as in our
soil produce. The consumer is also
aware of this and he too can ex-
press a choice for his most su.bstan-
tial food item.
This week shipments Were made
as follows: j. B. killian, fifteen cars
on the 25th; H. F. Thornley,, eleven
cars on the same day; G.. G. Gal
loway of Robideaux, who recently
bought the kelso steers. six cars on

\ Hot Time Expected
in Grand junction Election.

The initiative is working over
time in the new Grand Junction
charter and six questions will be
submitted at the regular city cleo
ticn in November.
Most anyone can be a candidate
for office, and most any sort of a
crowd can put a question up for the
vote of the people under the char
ter. and there are twelve candidat-
es for the three jobs open for refill
ling next month.
If the commission fails TO get
action" on any petition, the next
move is TO initiate the law desired,
and the voters have a chance to do
the rest.
Three of the six questions submit
ted in ordinances at the coming
election. involve the saloon issue,
and provide for an amendment to
the charter permitting the granting
of a saloon license. an ordinance
regulating the saloons, and submit
ting a question as to whether the
city shall reverse its previous ac-
ton regarding the wet and dry
question.
Another ordinance submitted pro
vides for n l-mill levy to support
the chamber of commerce, another
requires the city to take over Pal
mer park, which was donated TO
Grand junction by the late Gen.
VIM, ]. Palmer, but which gift was
then declined by the then municip-
al administration. Another ordin-
ance provides for division of a
block of ground owned by the city,
donation one-half to the county as
n sight for the court house. The
only real trivial ordinance submit
ted is that all irrigating bitches in
the city be covered. which the COM
mission could have ordered by res
olution.
The Socialists have complete
ticket but cannot vote on their can
didates as n party. The "wets' and
"drys" are each said to have a
ticket, with one full set left over,
to run against the field. The cleo
ton will be held Nov. 14th.

Apple Crop of This State
VIII Exceed 1880 Cars

According to all obtainable re
ports. the apple crop in Colorado
this year will exceed that of all for
mer years excepting 1909 when ev-
cry fruit growing district had n
good yield. This season several of
the big producing sections have fall
len far short, but fortunately Delta
county has eclipsed all former rec
ords and aids very materially in
holding the supply up to good
average. A Western Slope man
who has looked over the situation
carefully. makes the following state
ment:
THE apple market is in better
shape than for some time, because
of the let-up of barrel apples, which
We're flooding eastern markets.
Probably 100 cars of Grand valley
apples will go into cold Storage to
wait for n better market. While
prices have not been as high as
two years ago. or in some other
years, yet the market has been sat
isfactory, particularly on the fancy
varieties. Jonathans have been net
ting the growers $3.50 to S1.60 per
box. and other fancy apples in pro-
portion. The commoner varieties
have been bringing about sl.25
for the best stock. so that altogether,
the season has been n good one.
THE shortage in the Northwest,
where II is estimated the crop will
not exceed so per cent. is making
local stock more desirable. Much
of the fruit from here is being sent
west. California absorbing quite n
quantity of fancy varieties in pref
erence to her own homegrown
stock. From indications Colorado
will furnish more apples than Ore
gon, Washington. Idaho and Calf
ornia combined. as II did in 1909.
While the crop is not quite as large
in Colorado as in 1909, the North
west liz short and the big drops in
the Delta, Montrose and Canon City
districts are likely to bring the to-
tai shipments from Colorado of ap-
pies alone, up to about $500 cars.
The pear crop Is all off the trees.
The last being sent out last week.

Visitor in Delta for Several Weeks
Tells of Fine Fruits, Grains,

The story of our fertile soil, of
our large and small bearing orchards
OF peaches, apples, pears, etc, of
our large fields of waving grain of
the potatoes, sugar beets and mel
ons that are grown here in abund-
'ance, is well told by those who Wis
il here from outside points at diff
ferent seasons of the year. Many
OF these people come here only to
visit briefly perhaps, with some rela-
tive or friend, but when they are
here and know what is being done
by men who till the soil, they are
at once overcome with a person
al interest in the work and almost

These people at once become voul-

an almost invaluable amount of

personal motive whatever, and light
thus afforded is quite sufficient to

Apples Galore.

H. A. Richardson, who has been
going among the orchards of the up
per country the past two weeks
helping to get up a satisfactory ex-
hfbit for the apple show in Den

the subject of apples.

face Creek few days ago." said
Mr.. Richardson. There We're at
least 40, 900 boxes of apples picked
at the orchards and along the road
in wagons. Beside there were six
carloads packed upon the platform
at Appleton station. At Hotchkiss
they stated that II they could get ten
cars a day to load for the next ten
days, 1t would possibly put them
in shape so they could handle the
balance of the crop"

ments for Delta county this season

MUST HURRY THE CROPS;
GREAT DANGER IN WAITING
Early Freezing Apt to Cause Great
Losses to Owners of Apple
Orchards.

The matter of being damaged by
frost in the spring, when fruit grow
ers regard it worth while to smudge.
cannot entirely be lost sight of in
the fall. Our people raise so much
of everything that too rigid econ
omy should not be attempted In
gathering the crops, for winter will
come and its postponement to suit
the crop harvests must not be count
ed upon to certainty.
Since the 10th day of this month
there have been several stiff night
freezes, though the days have been
mild and sunny. Ii has served to
hurry up the farmers with the gath
ering of their crops.
1t has showed heavily over the
narthern and eastern parts of the
state during the last week and on
all the high mountain ranges. AT
Delta there has been no snow and
but little freezing of the ground.
We may have month of nice
weather yet, but the serious part
is that We require it to finish our
haryests. for the bulk OF both ap-
pies and sugar beets are still TO be
taken care of. some potatoes are TO
be dug. wheat and oats are to be
threshed. etc.
To sum il all up, il would seem
that our beet growers and apple or
ohardists are too short OF help at a
time like this. our seasons have
generally favored the gathering of
the crops. but an early freezing in,
even as late as the LIST OF Nov
ember. would cause heavy damage.
as the late harvests have been drag
Fing to the middle and in some cases
to the last of that month. Both
sugar beets and apples have been
rushing now for fifteen or twenty
days but the harvest of each can
hardly be said to, be one-half COM
pleted and more or less anxiety is
naturally felt regarding future
weather conditions. 1t is quite like
ly. however. that the usual nice
spell will follow the first mountain
snow storm and that our big crops
will in some way manage to get
harvested.
1t must be good advice though to
urge all speed and effort possible,
where large amounts of fruit OF eN-
tensive fields of beets remain to be
shipped. In such cases as great
force as possible should be employ
ed to get the work up to a point of
safety.

senator stephan Talks on Good
Roads in Salt Lake City

If present plans carry, the Off
cial transcontinental automobile
route between Denver and Salt Lake
City will be formally opened by 2
grand celebration early in July, g
II. Ways and means to this end
were enthusiastically discussed at a
conference held yesterday at the
commercial club. at which the prin-
cipal speaker was George stephan
of Delta. Colorado. president OF the
Western Colorado Good Roads asso-
citation. A large number of club
members and citizens who are back
ing the good roads movement in this
community were present.
As outlined at yesterdays meet
ing, the plan includes a big initial
tour over the route as soon as ii
has been made ready. In this will
participate the governors of both
states. members of the highway com
mission of Utah and Colorado, off
GERS and delegates of the differ
ent commercial bodies along the pro
posed route and others interested
in the project. For the celebration
and opening. Colorado is to furnish
one pilot car from Denver to the
Utah line, while Utah is to furnish
the other pilot car from that point
to Salt Lake City. Full details of
the program for the official opening
and celebration will be completed
later.
The aspect now taken by the
campaign launched by the Salt
Lake commercial club and the Utah
Development League and brought to
definite point by w. A. Peck
well known transcontinentalist, at
the last commercial club membership
meeting, is now most encouraging
and the route which will mean so
much to Salt Lake and the state
seems absolutely assured. The pub
licity buerau of the club will stand
the expense of the signs and posts
to be used along the route, while
Mr.. Peck has agreed TO erect them.
