Large and Appreciative Audience.

The Nazarene Party enjoyed anoth-

day evening when they took automo-
biles to Woodruff About forty peo-
pie were in the party, including sing
ers, auto owners, guests and press
agents, each and every one of them be-
ing loud in their praises of Woodruff
nspitality.
The automobiles began leaving Lau-
rens about half past five in the af-
ternoon, going at moderate speed over
the fine roads between Laurens and
Woodruff. Many in the party had new

porous country before and many were

scenery so near home Though the
roads were in most places good and
in some places excellent the thought
was impressed upon some that just
little dragging of them by adjoining
property holders or bands of commun-
ity workers would accomplish won
ders.
Arriving at Woodruff the entire
party was entertained at the hospitable
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Simpson,
where they were met by a number

ORGANIZATION CREATES
INTEREST IN CANTALOUPES
Melon Crop VIII he One of the
County's Greatest Assets in
Only Few Years.

That interest in cantaioupe cul-
ture should grow in the Uncompah-
gre, Gunnison and other valleys as
well as on our suitable mesa lands,
is not strange.
The strange part is that such
an industry should be so long neg
iected.
At Rocky Ford the melon industry
has been nearly the whole thing
Melon growing made Rocky Ford
both famous and rich.
Here we have demonstrated that
we can grow just as good melons as
Rocky Ford; have in fact, repeatedly
won state fair premiums over their
competition with our exhibits.
Not only that, but the few who
have engaged in modern farming
hereabouts, have testified that, upon
an average, the profits had been as
good as that of the orchards.
Almost everything in this coun-
try. however. seems to need organi-
zation. and be backed by co-opera-
tive effort Hence, while the inter-
est in raising canta,oupes in this
marked by a small increase of acre
age each year, some enterprising
souls hit upon the plan recently
of organizing an association. the
result Of which has already insured
the cultivation of $50 acres in addi-
tion to the heretofore customary
truck patches.
If, as has been stated. cantaloupes
can be grown as cheaply as sugar
heets, and. as has been further
stated. will pay anywhere from two
to three times as much per acre. it
would look as though they had
wide margin over the beet field.
Naturally the thing is to have a
ready market. for melons won't
keep like sugar beets. neither can
their delivery be contracted at a
given price. The market is becoming
well adjusted in the big cities. how
ever. and firms are contracting for
the produce of entire sections, pay
ing in cash so much in advance per
crate, as the melons are shipped
AS rule. melons do not appsars
to be harder TO market than peache
or other varieties of perishable
fruits. so, with associations to aid
the farmers in marketing. ii does
not look like there would be any
trouble in the way of raising melons
here on large scale and making
the industry gratifying success.

ELKS' BANQUET FRIDAY
NIGHT A HUGE SUCCESS
Spread.-Delta Lodge is Prac-
tically Assured.

One of the largest and most en-
joyable meetings that has been held
in the city of Delta for many moons,
was that of the Elks, at the |. o.
o. F.. hall last Friday night.
Two hundred men sat down to
the banquet tables at 7:30 and en-
joyed thoroughly the bounteous
spread prepared for the occasion
by the Ladies Guild of the Episco-
pal church, which every one said
was the finest ever served in Delta
About forty ladies served the
dinner. and did it with such grace
and so systematically that one would
have thought they had drilled for
months.
Immediately following the ban
quet the assembly took up the busi-
ness that had brought them there.
Judge King acted as toastm aster and
made the opening address which was
followed by numerous short talks
by Delta Elks, and a very forcible
argument by Mayor Duke OF Hotch-
kiss. all tending to impress upon
Deputy Exalted Ruler Dr. Rowan,
the feasibility of establishing a
branch Of the order in Delta The
speakers were backed up by Mayor
Smith In the matter Of guaranteeing
the required population.
The address OF Or. Rowan was
most eloquent. as well as an ex-
ceedingly interesting one. and in
closing, remarked that he had never
been more royalty entertained and
ha huA
more enthusiastic crowd of boosters
than the Delta Elks. and he assured
them that II II were in his power.
n dispensation would be granted
at the earliest possible date. for the
installing OF the Delta chapter.
The committees on the work
here are still hustling and do not
propose to lose a minutes time or
spare any exertion. in fact they
won't sleep well until the lodge is
installed
With this most favorable report
from DIR. Rowan. and the recon-
mendation from the Montrose lodge.
of which the Delta members are
now tributary. the Delta lodge is
practically assured. The report of
the action taken upon the matter
by the Grand Lodge. is expected in
about three weeks.
Members of the order think that
the order will start OFF two hundred
or more strong OF the county's best
men. and that within a year another
fine building will be going up in
Delta. in the shape of modern
Elks' home.

of Hart S Basin, became fr.ghten- d.
Mr.. Smith was on the ground and
went to thsir heads. He was knock
ed down and run over by the tam
and wagon, but escaped. it is
thought, more serious injury than
pa'nful bruis 5 and perhaps a spI n
ed leg. The team ran down Main
street toward the river, damaging
the wagon and scatte rirg IS load
beyond recovery. Mr.. Smith was
taken to the Office of D.. Burge
and his wounds ATTENDED d to. Mrs.
Smith, who had accompanied h'm TO
Delta, had left the wagon before
the team became frightened and un-
manage able. and thus escaped in
jury. Mr.. Smith is a husky ranch
man, who has had several narrow
es'apes from serious injury, but who
with sickness in his family and like
misfortunes, is certainly deserving
of sympa'hy
