DELTA'S BIG FRUIT CROP
GREATLY UNDERESTIMATE
Orchardists Who Estimated 1000
Boxes Have 1000 Boxes
to Ship.

From reports now coming in it
is thought the fruit crop of Delta
county has been greatly under-es-
the peach harvest, and there is
every reason to believe that the
fact will be demonstrated to still
greater extent when the apple crop
begins to move.
1t would seem that the growers
should be able to make an approx
mately close guess, but it is claim
ed that. regarding the peach crop,
they have done the widest kind OF
guessing, some men underestimate
ing the output of their own trees
by nearly one-half. The man who
estimated his crop at one thousand
crates is packing two thousand.
Every effort possible has been
put forth this week to handle the
North Fork Elbertas, but at the
best it is feared that the crop can
not all be saved. That section has
been shipping about sixty refriger-
ator cars a day and the yards at
Delta have been busy scene, day
and night The railroad company
has had ninety men employed ice
ing and handling the cars.
The Surface Crek country has al
so begun the rush shipments. The
orchards of the upper mesa can
hold a little longer for packing than
other sections. although they too,
will be rushed to take care of the
fruit that is now fast ripening.
Along with the big shipments of
peaches are cantaloupes. prunes
and other varieties of plums and a
I few carloads of fall apples.
Few take into consideration the
| immense acreage of orchards in
this county when they guess at the
fruit yield. The apple crop is some
thing enormous this year. Compared
with the peach crop it is overshad-
owing Commercial varieties of win
ter appels comprise the bulk of all
the county's fruit, and the trees
over much of the county are load
ed to the breaking point. The man
who would even hazard a guess at
what the county will produce in
number of boxes or carloads, would
be very rash person. 1t is safe
to predict that any estimate made
so far will hardly cover two-thirds
of the apple crop which is yet to
| be harvested.
Taking this in connection with
the immense amount of sugar beets.
alfalfa, potatoes and other products,
and one can form, by giving his
mind sufficient scope, something of
an idea of what this county pro
duces.

arrangements for five lecture course
numbers for the coming winter
similar to those held in years past
with the exception of the price
which will be much cheaper.
The lecture course has failed the
last two years for lack of support
but is is thought that at the great
reduction in price, a sufficient num-
Der of season tickets can be sold
this year to pay expenses.
Five very choice numbers have
been arranged for. equally as good
as any of the former ones shown
here. which is saying good deal

Notes on The Fair.

The North Fork excursion yes
terday brought down n hundred or
more North Forkers. accompanied
by the Hotchkiss band and Paonia
Business Mems ball players. They
were a large and substantial bunch
and. mingling in the fair crowd
greatly enjoyed the day.
The package race with six riders
entered. created much excitement,
Each rider had to ride TO pack
age. neatly tied up, dismount, open
same. put on its contents, then
mount and ride once round the
ring dismount and replace in the
package what they had taken from
1t. The packages contained mostly
lady's apparel, dresses, hats and
corsets, and the men were both
slow and awkward in getting into
them. One rider did not get dressed
and started until the balance had
finished the race.
Delta won the ball game between
the Business mems teams of this
city and Paonia, played at mesa
park yesterday forenoon. As the
score was little large for record
game. we omit it.
One of the interesting features
expected at the fair ground today
will be the wedding advertised. The
management expect to be able to
pull 1t off according to program.

FEDERAL COURT HOLDS A
BIG SESSION AT MONTR0SE
Trial of Whitewater Land and Ir-
rigation Company Now Being
Heard

On account of convenience to
witnesses, some 1875 in number, the
federal court decided to try certain
set for trial in Denver, at Mont
rose, where the session for that pur-
pose was convened Tuesday.
Judge Robert E. Lewis presides.
Others present are: L. S District
Attorney Thomas Ward. Assistant
District Attorney Ethelbert Ward
Federal Clerk Charles w. Bishop
and U. S. Marshall VIM. H. Robin
son.
Erick Peterson, charged with hav-
ing robbed the stage near Norwood
will be tried at this term. Also
the case of the Whitewater Irriga-
son, Montrose, Delta and Mesa coun-
ties, wherein John Gould, C. A
Woody, j. Albert Wright, Frank
White, Omer Gibson, Samuel Baker
and Robert Rowse officers and di-
rectors of the Whitewater Irrigation
and Land company, who are charged
with using the mails to defraud
will be called. The defendants live
in Denver and Otero counties.
The land which they were try
ing to sell lies in Gunnison, Mont
rose, Delta and Mesa counties. The
government claims that the men rep
represented that they would irrigate
100000 acres OF land and that they
had purchased water rights of an
irrigation company adjacent to the
land and could put the water on
the tract The government main
tains that the men never intended
to build any irrigation bitches, that
they never purchased any water
rights and that they had no inten-
ton of making good their promises
which they made through the mails.
For that reason they are being prose
cuted. The government has sum-
moned seventy-four witnesses and
the defendants fifty-six.

Farmers Are Rushed.

Never in the history of this sec
ton have the farmers been so
rushed as now. although they have
always been n busy lot during the
crop harvests.
Just now they are confronted by
the peach harvest, the third cutting
of alfalfa, the threshing season for
wheat and oats. the fall plowing to
do. the potato digging to finish
and the sugar beet harvest and the
winter apple crop just ahead. Each
of the latter crops is heavier than
usual this season. the apple crop
being something enormous. The
yield of these two crops alone Will
tax all the men they can get, as
well as the railroads equipment to
gather and ship.
1t is an awful good thing to be
able to chronicle big crops, but IN
Delta county this year, the crops
must be seen in order to be com
pretended.

Holmes Discusses Beets and
the High Prices OF =

Fred G. Holmes, of the Western
Land & Sugar company, in an in
Fteryiew with the Denver Republican
has the following to say regarding
beet crops, sugar making and sugar
prices:
"The half has not been told in
the sugar question, according to
Fred G. Holmes of the Grand juno
ton sugar factory, who is in Den
yer arranging for cars for the fall
and winter campaign of his factory
is to soar even higher than it is at
present. and il is possible, he stat
IS, that the price will remain high
curing the winter and will not be
materially affected by the crop now
maturing.
The outlook for next year is also
cad from the viewpoint OF the con-
sumer. as beet seed has doubled
in price during the last few weeks
and the prospects are that it will so
still higher. thus making it neces-
sary for the sugar companies and
the farmers to raise their prices on
the sugar beet crop for next year
according to Mr.. Holmes.
I'VE epxect record crop of sug-
ar beets on the Western slope
said Holmes. We have contracted
for the entire crop, which probably
will be about 1000 tons, or nearly
10000 tons greater than ever be-
lore. From this tonnage We expect
10 get approximately 10000 bags
of sugar, each bag containing 100
pounds, or total of lac, 100000
bounds of the refined product.
For this product the farmers OF
the Western Slope will receive ap-
proximately 100000; the exact
amount can not be given as we pay
on the sliding scale, guaranteeing
So ton. regardless of the saccha-
rine content of the beets' and pay
more for each ton that tests
above a certain per cent.

peaches and fifteen cars of spuds.
1t also stated that there would be
almost trainload a day of the
same goods for several days as the
North Fork valley would have five
hundred cars of peaches. Well.
Well, Five hundred cars Guess
again Brother Bickel. Guess twice
more About fifteen hundrer cars
then there will be some apples too.
We will also ship spuds, sugar
beets and cantaloupes which in this
valley are not classified as fruit
The peach harvest is not on in fun
yet but We are putting out about
| fifty cars a day from the North
Fork valley at this writing which
makes two pretty good trains. II
some of our near neighbors would
count the cars as they pass through
their town and credit them up TO
Delta county as they should be. the
fruit crop of the Grand valley this
year in comparison would look like

DELTA'S FAIR is BIGGEST
IN HISTORY OF THE CITY
Attendance All That Was Expected.
Displays of All Kinds I'm
usually Good.

The first three days of the fair
have been success.
The attendance is larger than us
ual, which is regarded as quite sat
isfactory considering the very busy
times.
The display of fruits, vegetables,
melons and general farm products
is large and fine, as could be ex-
expected, with the seasons large
crops. The stock and poultry ex-
hfbits are also very fine. The stock
exhibits have been considered lack
ing at past Delta fairs. due perhaps
TO a lack of inducement on the part
of the fair managements.
There is a general appreciation
of the present fair-not noisy, but
sincere. We heard the question
asked, Did you ever see such a
fair as this in Delta before?"
The program is being nicely car
ried out. The racing program is
particularly good though showers at
times have made the rtack heavy.
Every race has been pulled off in
good shape and when the track
would admit It. record speeding
resulted.
As the Independent goes to press
in the midst of the fair, only mea-
gre reports can be given this issue.
Following are the second day S
racing results:

Pony Race-won by Wm. Rhodes
of North Delta.
Package Race-won by James
Sanderson.
A bucking contest was put on as
n special and James Sanderson
gave a good exhibition of broncho
riding.
In the relay race two horses fell
with their riders but no injuries
were sustained.
While many ribbon awards were
made Tuesday afternoon and yes
terday, in the various departments,
the judges are still busy with that
class of work.
Although the skies still threaten
showers. today will wind up what
is perhaps the most successful fair
ever held in Delta.
