ment-" Beauties Nemesis" and Lat

Railroad Building.

All signs are favorable for tho
greatest activity in railroad build
ing and railroad improvements, in
the history of the country.
A quarter of a century back the
demonstration in railroad building
consisted in constructing the neces-
sary lines across the continent, or
over parts where they seemed nee
essary. That accomplished. the
companies fell to work to get the
invested capital back.
In the competitive struggle great
consultations resulted. Then line
shortening began and Improvement
of central properties. For the past
number of years the big roads have
been prosperous and have accumu-
lated money for further improve
ments. and for this they are pre-
pairing to spend sums of many mil
lions
While it is proposed to spend
much of the money now set apart,
for the double tracking of through
lines. an effort will also be made
to complete better connections by
building connecting lines as feed
ers for the great double track trunk
lines. and this will give many sec
tions not supplied with railroads,
or that are without competition, the
class of transportation facilities
which they have been waiting and
longing for.
1t is but natural that in the
enthusiasm which all the building
by the big roads will raise. small
er enterprises will have their in
ming. as occurs in all industrial
booms.

ing of the council.
There was further consideration
of ordinances, but none passed eX-
cept TO first reading.
The petition for extension of
water pipes on Columbia street from
Fifth to Seventh, was granted.
In the matter of the fire tower,
ii was decided to move same to the
lots of city near city hall for the
present and to select more central
location for the second hose cart.

Continued Revival.

The revival meetings of the
Baptist church have progressed to
such an extent that the church is
crowded each evening to hear the
inspiring discourses of Evangelist
T. T. Martin and the sweet singing
of Mr. and Mrs. ]. f. Shoeheld. 1t
is some time since such unusual
evangelists have visited Delta, ana
the interest aroused is of most
healthful kind. There is no sem
sationalism or tricks but solid
straight sermons of such power that
the most Indifferent are interest
ed and aroused. On Thursday night
the sermon was most convincing
address to infidels. On Friday and
saturday nights the subject will be
How Two Intelligent Business Men
Face the Subject of Their Eternal
Destiny At a mass meeting at

the Evangelist will speak on The

day night will be what does the

All are cordially invited to these

BIG RAILROAD MEETING At
AUSTIN ON MONDAY NIGHT
Mud and Storm Failed to Keep
The People of that District
From Attending.

We understand that a movement
is on foot among the farmers OF
Surface Creek to cooperate with
certain outsiders and build rail-
road from Austin to Cedaredge
In regard thereto, the following
item was sent to The Independent.
On Monday night a large and en-
thusiastic crowd of representative
people gathered at the Kehl hall
in Austin.
The gathering was the result OF
call for the consideration OF
railroad proposition, and was held
under the auspices of the Austin
Business Mems Association. Mr..
John Watts, vice-president of the
association presided The fact that
the roads were muddy and the
night dark and stormy. left the i'm
preston that surely the people
were interested in the movement,
else such a large number would not
have braved the mud, darkness and
storm to be present. The crowd
was a most enthusiastic one.
Mr.. Charlie sworth of Delta, made
the principle address. 1t was replete
with just such information as the
people wanted and the speaker was
repeatedly applauded. He outlined
the plan, showed its feasibility and
the benefit it would be to the peo-
pie OF Surface Greek, and its bene-
fits to Austin.
The people of Austin and the
south side of Surface Creek are not
antagonizing any other railroad pro-
ject. but they intend to have a
road passing through. and within
reach of the best and most fertile
portion of the mesa, so that peo-
pie passing through can see their
fine orchards. comfortable dwellings
and rich farm lands. They do not
care to help build a road running
through adobe hills where the trav
eler sees but little except the sun
shine above him.
Mr.. Leeson of Cedaredge was al
so present and made talk which
was well received. He made the
plans clear to all. He has had wide
experience and spoke from practical
knowledge.
An organization was effected.
president and secretary elected.
and a committee appointed which
will confer with similar committees
from Eckert and Cedaredge for
further plans and future meetings.
The indications now are that
this move is genuine and not talk
or hot air" and that there will be
something doing before the blossoms
fall.
