EDITORS DISCUSS REFER
ENDUM FOR RATE BILL
Will Not Accept a Smaller Legal
Rate Than the One Which is
Now Provided.

At a meetiI CT the officers and
executive committees of the three
Colorado editorial associations held
in Denver last Tuesday, it was de-
cided to refuse to accept any less
rate for publishing legal notices OF
any kind than now prevails. 1t was
also decided to, if possible, defeat
the bill pending in the senate which
reduces the rate on initiated and
referred bills to five cents a line
for the first insertion and three
cents a line for each subsequent in
sertion. II was agreed that there
should be some change from the
present manner of publishing consti-
tutional amendments and initiated
and referred bills II was the sense
of those present that the number of
publications should be reduced and
that these matters should be pub
lished in two papers of different
political faith in each county. The
officers and executive members of
the three Associations have an
understanding among themselves
that If the bills now pending before

ated and referred bills are defe At

to work for its adoption. 1t was
agreed that the Editors of all the
papers would be asked to write to
their respective senators and repre-
sentatives. explain this situation to
them, ard ask them to defeat the
pending Legislation. Explain to them
that one rate for one class of legal
notices and another rate for another
class OF legal notices will only be
disadvantaFe to all concerned and
that the editors will be compelled to
decline to accept initiated and re-
ferred bills for publication at the
low rate. bnt that they will be will

FREE DELIVERY OF CITY
MAIL BEGINS TOMORROW
Two Carriers and a Substitute Have
Been Appointed to Commence
New System.

Delta is TO have its free delivery
of mails inaugurated tomorrow.
The carriers appointed are ]. l.
Niles for No. J., C. A. Moeller for
No. ., and F. w. Day for Substitute.
1t is desired at the post office that
all who wish to be put upon the de-
livery list, shall leave explicit in
structions.
1t will perhaps take a little time
to get the system working perfectly,
but that will be accomplished as
quickly as possible.
Another item of postal news is
to the effect that the government has
notified the post office at Delta that
a rural route south from the city
will now be considered, and the new
rural free delivery route be estab-
lished as soon as the families along
its lines have given in their names.
This route was asked for once be-
fore, but for some reason the ap-
plication was not granted. Most of
the territory south has been covered
by a route from Olathe.
The proposed route from Delta
will expediate the delivery of mail
to many citizens on Ash and Cal
ifornia mesas, and will prove a most
satisfactory addition to the local
mail service

the names of charter members had

turned for correction, causing

FRUIT PROSPECTS GOOD
UP TO THE PRESENT DATE
All Fruit Growing Counties OF The
State Show Good Prospects
for Bumper Crop.

Martha A. Shute, secretary OF the
state board of horticulture, has sent
out a bulletin containing reports
from the fruit growing counties; OF
the state.
All the reports agree that up TO
the present time the outlook was
never brighter for a full crop.
The statements are that the trees
are well budded and came through
winter safely. The cold spell thai
set in Saturday of last week and
held out till the middle of this
week, helped to hold back the trees
While we have had some warm days
we have had freezing nearly every
night and snow is visible low down
in the foothills.
While the season is expected to be
early, the blooming of the orchards
will not be in advance of usual sea
sons and perhaps a little later. In
any event. damage from late spring
frosts, is the only thing to be APP
pretended in the way of preventing
full crop.

southern Peaches are
Damaged by Frost

We are reliably informed that a
section OF the country, including the
greater part of Oklahoma, extremely
southern section of Missouri, the en-
tire state of Arkansas, northern and
eastern Texas, northern Louisiana,
some portions of Georgia as we'll as
Tennessee, and a few fruit sections
in northern Mississippi and Alabama
which large scope of country much
predominates in peaches, has expert
enced an extremely early spring to
hae come into bloom from three to
date. In many sections the peaches
have come into bloom from three to
four weeks earlier than ever known
before.
We are reliably informed also
that on the night of the 22nd of
February very severe storm pass
ed across this scope of country and
was followed by extremely low tenn
peratures. Peaches in some sections
were largely in bloom, while in
other sections the buds were burst
ing, and the crops were very severe
ly damaged at this time on account
of the temperatures ranging as low
as twelve to fourteen above zero.
Quite recently second storm
was experienced in many of the sec
uons above described and a large
portion of the buds that were not
killed in the first storm were taken.
We are of the belief at this time
that the peach crop extending over
this area will represent very
small portion of a crop. Many of the
larger shipping points have. we are
informed. suffered almost a COM
plete annihilation of the crop. We
are lead to believe that not twenty
hve per cent of a normal crop of
peaches can be expected. We sim
cerely hope that there was suf-
ncient number of buds in a semi
dormant condition that have wealth.
cred the rigorous conditions of eli
mate that will come through and
give a better percentage than we
nave estimated. However. we have
every reason to believe that the fig
ures which we have given you are

Farmers VIII Apply Referendum.

II the Carpenter reservoir bill is
passed in the form in which the leg
islature threaters to pass IL, the
farmers OF the Western Slope will
unite in a demand to refer 1t 10 the
people.
This will be the first use of the
referendum. the right of which was
granted TO the people of Colorado by
special enactment at the last gem
eral election.
A Ave per cent petition is all that
is required to secure n referendum
under the law. and 1t must be filed
with the secretary of state within
ninety days of the time of the pas
sage of the law to which the signers
of the petition may object. The nee
essary petition will hold up the en-
forcement of the law until the peo-
pie have n chance to express their
approval or disapproval of 1t at the
next general election.
The Farmers unions which are
particularly strong on the Western
Slope are said to be backing the
movement to have the Carpenter
bill referred to the people. The bill
in its present form grants the reser-
voir companies prior rights to the
streams of the Colorado, over the
secondary filings of ranchers for
irrigation purposes. and the meas
ure might seriously interfere with
the development of new land in this
section of the state.
1t was first intended to send a
strong delegation of farmers to Den
ver to protest in person against the
enactment of the pernicious legisla-
tion. but now 1t is claimed that IT
would be much less difficult to pre-
vent its enactment into law by the
simple use of the referendum.
Also. the farmers who intend to
circulate the petition II it should be
come necessary. will include the
Moffat tunnel bill. II 1t is presented

may be satisfactorily arranged and
that Delta may have the guarantee
of the factory she wants. needs and

Japan Takes Water.

It would appear from recent dis
patches that President Taft's pur-
pose in mobilizing the army along
the Mexican border was mainly for
the purpose of impressing Japan
with sense of this country's read
iness to protect our interests and
Doctrine.
1t not only appears that the
movement was justified but that the
most favorable results have follow
ed, for dis patches declare that Japan
has agreed to withdraw from all
holdings in Western Mexico; to alb
rogate the secret treaty made with
Mexico; to give up its coaling sta
ton at Campos. on the western
coast of Mexico and to allow the
United States to deal with the Mex
lean situation without interference.
Mr. Taft had learned of the
secret treaty between Japan and
Mexico and took this method of
warding off DANCE from war with
the Japs.
Without doubt the occasion re
quired just the movement which was
made.
Wittort doubt and despite the
vitriolic criticisms of papers like the
Rocky Mountain News, the results
have doubly justified the expense.
in the saving TO this country of
lives and property and millions
which would have gone up in smoke.
and our dignity as a nation is, in
the meantime, being upheld.
