Pleasing Musical Program and
Addresses by Denver Clergy

The dedicatory services at the

were carried out in a very elaborate
manner.
A large gathering We're present
at both services, a special train
bringing quite a number to the
morning service from Montrose.
Cavallo's orchestra and the
double quartet from st. Leo's church
Denver, made the musical program
one that Delta people are unable
to hear only on rare occasions.
Bishop Matz and Father VIM.
organ of Denver made interesting
addresses. both praising Father
o Farrell on his splendid work in
Delta and Montrose.
The new church is a most at
tractive one with its roomy rews,
beautiful windows and general de-
sign.

and its members are the kind who

COLD STORAGE PLANT
AT DELTA. Is REPORT
Men Interested Refuse to Give
Particulars for Publication
This Week.

Although the parties directly
connected therwith refused to
give any of the details before next
week, we have been practically as
sured that a cold storage plant of
extensive size is to be built in Delta,
near the depot, a site for which
has been obtained, the land upon
which it will be built tied up, and
the money for its erection placed on
deposit in a local bank.
1t is easily understood that a
pant of such character will mean
a great deal to Delta, and knowing
some of the men interested, We
have no doubt but what it will be
built. By our next issue We hope
to give all the details.

INTERESTING Meeting
OF DELTA MOTHERS CLUB
Hear an Interesting Debate on
the Question of Womans'
Suffrage.

The meeting of the Mothers Club
which convened at Mrs. Conklin
on Friday of last week was well
attended, unusual interest being
manifested over the chief feature
of the program, that of a debate
upon the question, Shall Womans
Suffrage be Retained in Colorado
The speakers We're spirited and
the arguments waxed serious and
humorous, but utmost good nature
prevailed as the pros and cons OF
this great question were advanced.
Those on the negative side took
refuge in the statements, put with
skill and eloquence, as to what had
been accomplished, notably by those
grand women of Chicago without
suffrage All honor to them and their
achievements. but was it any argu-
ment against Womans Suffrage?
Much was said also, about voting
taking woman out of her sphere, -
and adding to her already heavy
responsibilities etc. But the true
woman facing a duty does not con-
slider added responsibility. Nor
did she feel taken out of her sphere
when by her vote temperance for
Delta was secured. Is it not wholly
within the mothers sphere to
strive to obtain the best conditions
for her children? Result is said to
be the only true criticism, and as
many good laws and reforms were
proven to have been enacted as
the direct result of woman's vote.
the affirmative was announced the
winning side.
A delightful social hour followed
the debate in which the question
was still informally discussed. All
enjoyed the fine lunch served. spiced
by witicisms and general good feel
ing on the part of the losers, who
graciously admitted themselves won

TO BUILD RAILROAD FROM
APPLETON TO CEOAREDGE
Will he Called The Colorado n
Surface Creek Railway
Company.

Messrs. Geo. O. Harper and y. J.
Edward b. Priest of Indiana, who
are deeply interested in the building
of the Colorado & Red Canon rail-
road. to be built from Hotchkiss
to Crawford have preparations al
most completed to commence the
work of obtaining a right of way
for a second road which is to be
built from Appleton. on the North
Fork branch of the Rio Grande, to
Cedaredge.
A clause in the right of way con-
tracts of this company states that
the contracts shall be good until Jar
/, 1912. and If said lands are not
used for railroad purposes by that
date. and said road is not built and
in operation, said contract shall be
void.
1t surely sounds like business,
The men behind these projects are
not inclined to talk to a great ex-
tent about their affairs but seem per
fectly competent when it comes TO
delivering the goods,
With both an electric and steam
road. as the Colorado & Surface
Creek road is proposed to be a steam
line, things are surely looking any
thing but gloomy for the Cedaredge
and the Surface Creek district.

Free Delivery Will Add
To Business Mems Expenses

About all there is in a small city
of benefit TO free delivery of mails
is in its convenience perhaps to
dwellers and the fact that it gives
employment to two or three carriers
The business man, as a rule, will
still keep his box at the postoffce, SO
he can get his Sunday mail, or other
mail if he wishes, while it will give
him the privilege of paying two
cents postage on all town letters,
statements, etc.
On the part of the newspapers
they will have to pay postage at
all home and rural route lists, which
have heretofore been admitted free.
Free delivery will cost the Independ-
ent about $50 per year in extra
postage.
The government is not as liber al
with its mail service as it should
be. 1t is its one necessary utility.
Every year there is a cry about
the postofice deficit. What If there
is a deficit? Do the Navy Depart
ment or the War Department give
back any returns whatever for their
outlay? Not penny. 1t is all right
to make the postal service pay as
nearly as possible its expenses, but
If it does not hinder its imrovement.
