"Among the Rockies"

The above is the title of the
latest little booklet published by
the D. & r. G. 1t is nicely illus
trated and describes all the noun
tain as well as principal valley
points along its lines, which forms
the tourist lines to all the principal
mountain resorts of Colorado, the
West and Southwest. In the head
ed paragraphs Delta has it's place
as follows:
"Delta-Main line. 373 miles
from Denver. Delta is in the midst
of a highly productive fruit and
sugar beet growing section. Just be-
hind the city rises the Grand Mesa,
magnificent plateau, its level sum-
mits dotted with lakes and summer
resorts, including fine fishing and
bunting grounds. Junction point
with North Fork branch"

The Gospel of Good Roads.

There is no more important doc
trine, in a material sense, which can
be taught in Colorado today, than
the Gospel of Good Roads. Good
roads will add to the value of every
foot of ground in the state and to
the happiness and comfort of every
inhabitant. Good roads will make
Colorado prosperous as nothing else
will or can do. Good roads will open
up the state for tourists and make
travelling pleasant for those who re-
side here.
The whole state and every citizen
in the state, Is in favor of good
roads. The good roads movement is
rot a political or a local movement,
1t Is state wide and sky high. The
only point at which the residents of
the state are at variance in the mat
ter is as to the method to be pur-
sued to gain the desired results,
the selfish motive which cries out
for personal benefit first.
In order for the people of Colo
rado to gain the greatest benefits
the good roads must be state wide

Lady Bountiful and the
Frightened Fruit Grower.

One would think that the hard
ened fruit grower would have more
nerve than some of them appear to
possess.
Frosts come in every fruit coun-
try every year. If they did not
come there would not be a full crop
each season. because nature has not
given the trees that sort of life
strength.
But with every frost a howl goes
up that everything is lost, while ex-
perience after experience has
shown orchards with loaded trees
OF which it was positively asserted
there would not be apples enough
for pie
No less than three times within
u month has an alarm been herald
cd about fruit destruction in Delta
county this spring. loudly enough
to create a panic, and yet every
competent fruit man who makes a
tour of the orchards comes in with
the report that the prospects are
fine: that an orchard here and there
is damaged, but that whole frui
sections will make a record break
ing pack next fall.
Last Friday someone phoned down
from Paonia. the core of the apple
section, that seventy-five per cent
of the apple crop had been killed
up that way the night before.
PARTIES who inspected orchards up
that way Saturday say they will
have more fruit than they will be
able to take care of.
Fruit growers themselves are
often too easily and too quickly
alarmed. There are cases where
soreness is justifyable, no doubt,
but even in many of those cases
the outcome is much better than
was hoped for or thought possible.
We are glad to note that the
season in which there is danger
from frosts is now passing for these
valleys. and the last alarm. true
or false. has probably already been
sounded for Delta county. II So,
and there 10 little reason to doubt
it. Delta county will surprise the
world again next fall. as she did
two years ago, by the enormous
amount of fruit she will ship.
And with her fruit will have come
her annual bountiful harvests of
grains, potatoes, sugar beets, altar
IA, melons and other products.
Delta County's pet name must
be, Lady Bountiful," henceforth.

time is of no advantage to anyone.
When a full supply of Gunnison
water is brought into the valley.
that condition will continue through
out the irrigating season, and for
that reason the government will not
he justified in making any payment
for such preference rights.
No person owns the actual water
itself he is simply entitled to the
use of 1t, and when everyone in the
valley has. or can have, the use
OF all the water he needs for benefic-
ial use on his land, the priorities in
the Uncompahgre river will have no
value, except in the remote con-
tingency of the destruction of the
Gunnison tunnel. This is the view
which has been repeatedly present
ed to the people of the project
Morris Bien. supervising engineer.
The service is very desirous of
taking up as soon as possible, such
construction as may be necessary to
bring water to the lands upon which
homesteaders have settled and upon
which they have remained for so
many years under trying circum-
stances. 1t does not seem fair that
prolonged negotiations for unifying
the bitches should cause them to
wait indefinitely under the strenu-
GUS conditions through which they
have been passing SO long. The ser
vice feels that IL unification cannot
be accomplished very soon the ef-
forts of the government should be
to utilize the funds now allotted to
the project for the work necessary
TO bring water to the homesteaders.
There Is danger II this allotment
should remain long unused. that the
great pressure upon the secretary
and president from other states may
cause a temporary diversion OF some
part, or possibly all the present al
lotment to work in states where un-
expectedly small allotments were
made.-Morris Bien. supervising en-
gIneer.
There was scarcity of water In
the valley and the value OF the
briorities depended on the scarcity.
The sole object of the project was
to destroy this scarcity Phillip

acres now under homestead be fur
nIshed with water? Here is the gov
ernment's position:
AS soon as the Ironstone ditch
and one of two other bitches con-
cerning which negotiations are pend
ing are brought into the Uncompah-
gre Valley project 1 see no other
obstacle in the way of the immedi-
ate commencement of work of COM
pleting the project and the expendi-
ture of the allotment made by the
board of army engineers last fall
for that purpose, which was s .500,-
0OO.-Morris Bien. supervising en-
gineer of the United States reclama-
ton service.
With respect to the proposal to
unity the present priority rights of
the Uncompahgre river and its tribu
taries, an adjustment might be work
ed out by the board of directors of
the Water Users association and En-
gineer Pease. The plan should then
be referred to Supervising Engineer
Walter and when all have agreed up
ON such adjustment, it should then
be submitted to the director. who
will refer 1t. with his recommended
tions, to the secretary of the inter-
ior. The policy of those officials
is to approve the recommendations
of the officers on the ground unless
they recommend matters of doubt
full legality or propositions of ad-
ministrative policy. which in their
judgment might prove harmful to
the interests of the project as n
whole or to the interests of the gov
ernment.
When bitches are unified. credits
are given for the value of the tan
gible property turned over. such as
bitches, structures, etc. These the
government is not required to build
for the water user under the ditch.
while for the homesteader the gov
ernment must build similar distrib-
uting systems and requires pay for
the cost. The result, therefore, Is
that when the charges are fixed. the
homesteader will pay larger charge
equivalent to the cost of construct
ing their distributing systems.

leceive the maximum of benefit un-
less it's roads lead in from other
points, a local short stretch of
magnificent highway can only af-
ford benefit to the few who can
reach it while state wide road will
bring people in as we'll as let them
out.
The method of building roads with
convict labor offers a partial solu-
ton to the question only, the CO.
operation of the state must reach
further than to merely give us the
labor of few convicts for short
period, the larger cities of the
state must realize that their well
fare is wrapt up in the welfare of
the entire state. Denver must re-
alize that the city is in the state
of Colorado, part of the state and
not the whole state itself.
If only roads leading to one point
are to be considered then all the
state, save that one point alone, is
outside the zone of benefit but if
great system of highways is built
the entire state is benefited and
will receive dividends from the
work.
At present some of the beauty
spots of the state are out of reach.
they are inaccessible because of
the lack of even wagon roads lead
ing to them and are unknown even
to the nearby residents on that ac-
count but chain of good roads
would make them common property
to the residents and the tourists
alike.-Durango Herald.

The Lake City Times, with bursts
OF profanity which. under the stress
OF circumstances, seem almost justi-
fable, wonders why the Denver
papers do not get into the real
newspaper class and stop their
eternal pickering. True it is that
lo one, unless it be scant few OF
their local advertisers, cares which
has the largest circulation, and The
people over the state are even less
interested in their various other
personal quarrels, to which their
colums are every day devoted. This
course has lessened their influence
for good even more than their char
acteristic features of western en-
terprise can accomplish and gains TO
them little more than expressions of
disgust from the public.

saying the Independent should give
the price of hay, as alfalfa is one
of Delta countys principal field pro-
ducts.
All right, here we go: First cut
ting alfalfa is worth in Delta to-
day, $11 per ton. Second and third
cuttings are selling for about dol
lar per ton less. Markets for other
products are fair, with the excep-
ton of eggs, which have been lower
this spring, the price ruling at 10

Since medical scientists have given
the house fly such a sizzling repu-
tation the past year or two, several
thousand writer's have advised it's
destruction and headed articles:
Swat the House Fly" Most any
body is willing to swat" him, and
everybody does whenever the slight
est opportunity presents itself, but
there appears, after all the swatting
that there is a few more left to
swat than there was before the
swatting commenced. There is an
old saying: xiii a fly and three
will come to his funeral" Those
" ho have tried the experiment are
willing to vouch for its truth. Per-
haps the best way along with
swatting" the house fly is to
shut him out as much as possible
by screening. Sticky paper placed
conveniently for him and others OF
the family to sit down on, will also
help. With all the scientific dis
cussion and the dire calamities it
portrays, people have lived through
the countless generations of time,
and nations have become overpopu-
lated to pauper conditions with the
house fly skating over bald heads
and racing his germ-laden hoofs
er peoples faces If you happen
TO be out of job and want busy
one, swat the house fly"

The Denver Markets.

Denver Union Stock Yards, May
22-The receipts of cattle were very
good here last week and demand
good for the best grades. Compared
with the week before prices closed
strong to a dime higher on the
choice light weight steers and on
cows and heifers. Heavy steers
have been a little slow and prices
are not more than steady. Good
to choice steers sold at $525 to
$50. Good to choice cows brought
$3.50 to $5.15 ad fair to good at
s4OO to $3.50. Choice heifers sold
at s5.25 to $5.65 and one bunch
of baby beef. steers and heifers
mixed, brought $500. Bulls were
steady at $3.50 to $3.50 Veal
calves higher at $500 to $500. In
the feeder and stocker division sup
ply was light and not much change
in conditions. A large number of
southern cattle arrived enroute to
northern pastures but little trading
done as bulk of those here were
contracted in the country and did
not go on sale. A feature of the
weeks business was the sale of
several train loads of beef steers
from Colorado feed lots to go to
the Pacific coast. This leaves local
feed lots very nearly bare and
should result in stronger market
conditions here as packers are go
ing to have to hustle to get enough
beef cattle during the next month
or two. Receipts today were 1000
head mostly southerns; market Is
to 25c higher here and trade active
despite lower markets at all east
ern points. Choice heifers from
Rocky Ford sold at $500. cows
from same place at $40.
Demand for hogs continues good
and the market in good shape. The
prices paid here are higher than
at river markets. Good hogs sold
today at $3.50 to $500.
Sheep demand was good and the
prices higher. Supply has been
very fair and the market active.

peace can be restored for long
time, now that those semi-barber-
Gus and wholly trecherous people
have revived their political hobby,
the revolution. Such a people is
far less capable of self-government
than would be the negroes of the

Court of Appeals.

Denver, May 22.-The Supreme
Court today declined to answer
the question put to it by Governor
Shafroth relative to the proposed
Court of Appeals. AS a result there
are now three courses open to the
governor:
He can veto the bill.
He can sign it and convene the
senate to confirm 1t.
He can sign 1t and not convene
the senate; letting the new court
organize and apply to the Supreme
Court for something to do. The
new court Is for the purpose of
assisting the Supreme Court, which

can do nothing unless furnished

The Gunnison Tunnel Project.

1t will be fortunate ii, through
agreement of all the local interests
in the Uncompahgre valley with the
reclamation service. the Gunnison
tunnel, or, as 1t is officially known.
the Uncompahgre project. shall be
carried to completion at an early
date. There is good prospect that
the agreement which has been enter
ed into will be approved by the
secretary of the interior and that
unification of all the irrigation in
terests in the valley will thereby be
made complete.
This will be followed by the ex-
penditure of about 5 100000 by the
reclamation service in the construc-
ton of a distributing system which
will make available the large supply
of water which can be brought
through the Gunnison tunnel. When
the requisite canals and smaller
bitches are completed, the way will
be opened for that larger develop
ment of irrigation in the Uncompah-
gre valley which has been looked
forward to since the construction
of the great tunnel was first contem-
plated
1t will be a fortunate day for all
Interested in that part of the state
when this work shall finally have
been completed. The additional
acreage which will be reclaimed and
the more ample supply of water for
tracts heretofore inadequately ir-
rigated will greatly increase the
productiveness of the valley. make
possible the maintenance of larger
local population and ultimately de-
velop in that locality one of the
most prosperous communities in
the Rocky mountains.-Den Re-

Gradually the people of Delta
county are becoming more united,
which is as it should be. There is
not only strength in union" but
there is also corresponding salts
faction and pleasure. In former
years the different sections of the
county have been wrought up over
petty political and business jeal-
ousies until a cool nod or a fraud
full smile was about the best greet
ing one could get from the other.
Now it is getting to be different. So
much SO that there is hand shake
and God bless u.s. warmth of
feeling expression when people OF
the different towns meet. This
cnange from strife or bitterness to
friendship and cooperation is in
every way commendable. Greater
results will come in the future be-
cause of it than have resulted in
the past. United we sure can stand
divided one or all of us may fall.
, The closer the peopie of the whole
county get together the more they
can accomplish, and, if something
creditable is done in one part, |
everybody cheer. for what benefits
one section always helps the others.
IL can be said that few things will
so quickly disgust a prospective in
yestors as jealousy and pickering
between neighbors or neighboring
towns. If he is a shrewd man, with
oney and sense, he is likely to
turn his back upon such a territory,
even though the resources are splen-
did and the chances for profits are
| otherwise good.

Delta stands greatly in need of
parks. and that need will grow as
the city grows. Something might
well be undertaken by the city,
looking toward securing at least
sites for parks. Attention has been
called to the matter before. at diff
~t times and the way has been
part shown how, by government con-
cession, land, if any there be suit
able, may be taken by the city
within certain distances, for park
purposes. Other small tracts could.
perhaps, be obtained at or within
our limits. which could be improved
and beautified. This could have
been easily and cheaply accomplish
cd few years ago. Now. many
of the better opportunities of Sc
curing park grounds have slipped
by.
