CRIME IS NOT NEWS. 3"

The newspaper that prints stories of private
crime and scandal may seem to prosper and
hold the respect of it's clientele for while II
may seem to the superficial thinker to be more
'enterprising" than rival that won't compete
along that line But in the long run the in
stlnctlve human demand for the decent things
will turn its readers against it. The newspaper
panderer to evil propensites creates a revusion
that defeats its purpose,
1t ism t true, as is sometimes claimed that the
public demands crime and scandal news. People
may tolerate it long while, believing that thew
can't help It, But any newspaper champion of
salaciOus stuff may safely be challenged for an
instance OF one single editor ever being asked
by reader OF any standing in the community
for more news of crime Thousands of readers
write and ask for more Of this or that feature
None ever ask, however, for more indecency.
What right has any editor to assume that tie
horrible things of life are attractive to them?
In cases OF personal scandal such as we have
heard OF this week, ism t it better to let the Of
fender go his way quietly to disgrace and pun
shment? Should the town crier be put on the
track OF an erring woman? What of the Young
boys and girls in the homes of this region? Are
they not worth protecting from the stain that
must be left on their souls by an attra ctivnlv
told story of illicit life? These newspaper
stories of vice always hint at it's pleasures and
seldom at the wretchedness, misery and tears
that are inevitably part of it.
You can't. jutify any printed accounts Of
indecency and escape the logic that if little
is right good deal of it is better Who believes
that? Who would want to live in world of the
klndg What would want to get paper every
morning with forty columns of the stuff? Yet
if one column be justified, two score of them
must be forty times as good-an absurd con-
cusion that utterly confutes the claim that crime
is a source of legitimate news

SUN SHONE 3O5 DAYS
DURING THE YEAR OF 1910
Surprising Facts Brought to Light
by Weather Bureau Mans
Recent Report.

The following article from the
Grand Junction News, gives inter-
esting figures from the summary of
1910, of the government weather
bureau station at Grand Junction.
Practically the same conditions
existed at Delta.
Bob Hardinge, United States
Weather Observer in this city has
finished his annual summary for the
year of 1910, which discloses some
Interesting facts and data. The
total precipitation for the year was
7.61 inches or SO less than normal,
which is s.27 inches. The highest
Temperature was 101 in July and
the coldest, 10 below zero in jan
rary. The average temperature for
the year was 54.3, with one excep-
ton, the warmest year in the history
of the local weather observatory,
although the variance is never very
great. There is never more than
degrees difference in the yearly aver
age. The highest average maximum
for The year was 67.6 and the aver
age minimum was 41.53 degrees.
''The average wind velocity for
the year was Al miles per hour,
which is about average. The total
snow fall of the year was ia
inches. There were 80 thunder
storms and two auroras in the
twelve months. The entire wind
movement during 1910 was Al, ,347
miles.
"of the 365 days 1875 were clear,
11O partly cloudy and so cloudy,
which is a much poorer record than
usual although the sun shone on
S05 days out of the year.
The year taken as a whole was
about average with the exception
of the unusual amount of cloudy
weather"
The Delta independent., 1911-02-10
U. & G. v. SYSTEM IS
A CLEAR PROPOSITION
Will be of Greatest Benefit to This
Section of Any of Projected
Railroads.

Apparently the best of projected
railroads at present, and the one
calculated to be most satisfactory to
the people of Delta and the Surface
Creek country, is the one whose
title serves as caption for this
article.
We are led to say this not from
a personal but general interest.
The promotion of the road SO far,
seems to be upon perfectly fa1r
basis, as nothing is asked in the re-
demption of whatever concessions
may be asked. until the railroad is
built and trains run.
1t has also the merit of having
mainly home people interested in
its promotion, and they are of the
the two counties, Delta and Mont
rose, and, with the cooperation of
the people along the line, they can,
without extra effort, secure the as
sistance of all capital needed.
The building of this road will
open up, connect and unite great
sections of the best land in each
county and add to their value at
least 100 per cent. Instead of being
stub proposition for any part
of its territory, it will be a nice
little line for every part of it, and
instead of offering a service of a
train a day, it will give one of per
haps a train each two hours or less.
With a power house at each end, as
is being arranged for. this or even
more can be accomplished.
1t is gratifying to know that this
prospective road is making good pro-
gress. Its maneuvering is not being
plunged ahead of details, but its
planning is being done carefully and
its preliminary work executed in
manner to inspire confidence.
There is no drag, no plungAsg-
simply careful wok.
The Independent does not wish
to discourage any of the proposed
railroad projects. On the contrary
it will do all it can to encourage
them all. At the present and to the
extent of its information and be
lief, the U. & G. V. is not only
the most tangible but promises the
most for people and property along
its proposed line.

MASKED WHITE MEN
DRIVE OUT JAPANESE

On Tuesday night of this week
party of masked men took seven
japanese laborers from the Stock
ham Brothers Antelope Hill ranch,
brought them nearly to Delta, de
manded that they leave town and
threatened vengeance, SO the Japs
claim, If they returned.
w. b. Stockham, in an interview
with an Independent reporter. said
that it was impossible to get white
'abor, yet the foreigners were driven
out bodily while trying to do their
duty. They had been employed TO
clear rock from portion of the
property and had only worked half
day.
Sachi Butsuyen. the Japenese con-
for the work. has placed the matter
in the hands of District Attorney
Logan.
Much feeling has been aroused,
so the interested parties say, and
that the guilty men are found and
punlsneu seems To be the general
wish.
The Antelope Hill ranch is about
IA miles from Delta.
1t is claimed that notices were
posted in the vicinity to the effect
that no Oriental laborers were
wanted there.
Some are inclined to believe
that the marrauders were cowboys
from the Austin and Cory districts.
but as a matter of fact nothing is
known in regard to who 1t was.
Messrs. Lord and Mehaffey have
had several Japs in their employ
right near the Antelope Hill prop
erty for some time. who have been
unmolested.
