Dever Stock Market Effected
Slightly by Declines

The receipts of cattle were good
this week and a considerable num-
ber of natives We're on the market.
The demand was fair for all grades,
but owing to the fact that eastern

rather slow on everything.
The demand for beef steers was
fair but the movement was hardly
as good as at the close of last week.
Pest steers sold up to $500 and
prices ranged from this down to
$3.50 on the fair to good kinds. A
bunch of choice mixed baby beef,
mostly steers, sold at $6.05. Cows
sold largely at S4.75 to $50 for
the pretty good killing kinds, and
choice cows would have brought MOI
Fair to good cows sold at s4.25 to
s4.75 ad rougher grades on down.
Bulls sold at 1915 to $500 accord
ing to quality. Veal calves were a
little lower, the best light weight
kids going at $500 to $50.
The feeder and stocker division
was quiet, as receipts were light.
Ten loads of hogs arrived and
under good demand sold to pretty
good advantage. Tops brought So
10 and prices ranged from this
down to s5.95, with bulk of the
hogs going at $6 to $6.05. Wagon
hogs went at $5.55 to $3.50.
Demand for sheep and lambs was
strong. A bunch of spring lambs of
just fair quality sold at $6.25 and

lambs arrived and were weighed
up under contract at $7.25, with

A BUSY Season

All over the country the quiet of
towns denotes the busy conditions
of the country 1t is the busy sea-
son with the farmers and fruit grow
ers.
Upon this busy summer season
depends the greater activity in the
towns later on. 1t is necessary to
everybody. so is looked upon with
a feeling not only of resignation but
gratitude mixed with future hope
by the people of the towns. for they
know that harvest times will come
and markets will have new supplies.
In the different lines of produc-
tive resources this season the out
look is fine for liberal yields to
reward the present busy toilers.

Valley Residents Ask Aid
In Matter of Soil

A petition which was literally
signed by citizens of Delta. Olathe
and Montrose was sent to Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson. at Washing
ton. 1t is a splendid thing and
from the number of names the man
uscript carried when we saw it.
there is little doubt but that 1t will
bear fruit. The news reached us
just to late fer last week. The pc
tition follows:
Hon. James Wilson, Secretary OF
Agriculture, Washington ID. C.
Sir: The United States Recla-
nation Service has under construc-
ton project to redeem the arid
Colorado. The work has progress
ed so\fa as to furnish the farmers
of the valley a supply of water
from the Gunnison river, which
warrants the cultivation of an ad-
ditional area.
The soil of the Valley is varied
and adapted to a variety of crops,
but to what particular crops the vari.
Gus soils are best fitted, the farmer
has no means of knowing, except
experimently.
A large number of new settlers
who are entirely unacquainted with
irrigation and climatic and soil con.
ditions are coming into the country.
We feel that both the new and old
settlers would be much benefited
by scientific advice on the best
methods of agriculture to be fol-
lowed and crops best adapted to
cur varied soil conditions and ques-
tions relating to the most economi-
cal methods of cultivation and irri-
cation.
Certain portions of the Valley
are impregnated more or less
strongly with alkali and we need
some instruction as to the best
method of handling these salts.
During the fall of 1910 Mr.. J. w.
Nelson made soil survey of this
Valley and gave to many of us.
valuable advice along the lines in
dicated above. 1t is believed that
Mr.. Nelson's familiarity with the
soil conditions here would especial
ly fit him as an advisor to the farm
ers in this section.
1t Is respectfully requested that
If your Department can see its way
clear to do so. you will assign Mr.
Nelson. or some other good man, to
work In the Uncompahgre Valley.

the money had been taken from his
pocket by his female companion.
His loss was reported to the con-
ductor, and when the train reached
Montrose the conductor and II. J.

the woman searched, but without re-
suit. The woman declared that she
did not have the money. She said
that she, was the wife of former

give her address.
Not satisfied with the result of
the search of the baggage, the wo-
man was sent into u private room

There are to be no more dead
locks and business blocking in
future legislatures due to squabble
over the election of a U. S. Sena-
tor. This happy conclusion was
brought about Monday by the final
passage in the Senate OF the bill
providing for the election of United
States Senators by direct vote of
the people. Changing the federal
constitution is perhaps no small
matter, but the change has long
been felt necessary. Hereafter there
will or should be, fewer men in
the upper house who are supposed
to have bought their way through
state legislatures, and these same
legislatures can give the time they
have spent wrangling over a choice
of candidates to the business for
which they were elected.

Among other appropriation bills
passed by the lamentable late legis-
lature, and which the governor has
signed, we note one contributing
100000 to build a viaduct on some
street in Denver. The S400, 100000
Moffat tunnel bill was more for the
benefit of Denver than in the in
terest of three-fourth' S of the state.
And yet Denver is continually howl

their share of the state funds. A

Montrose committees have raised

to add something more to the
support they give their newspapers.

was of Montrose, the other from

The Unemployed Army.


The railroads of Colorado again
/ ave their lines of men, walking or
beating their way, according to op-
portunity.
One of a gang of about a dozen
who were holding down benches at
the shady side of the D. & r. G.
station at Delta the other day,
"entured the statement that there
are as many men "on the road now
as in 1898, and that it was in part
due to the fact that there was no
public work under way" This man
appeared to be a mechanic, whose
clothes did not bear the imprint of
the professional hobo. His was
the more respectable proof that,
When times become dull along GER
tain trade lines, those who may
be educated to such particular trade
and nothing else, become lost for
a job;
Allowing for these conditions.
there are still many more who per-
iodically find themselves out of work
and being of the improvident class,
never learn to save enough from
employment periods to protect them
from the necessity of hoboing it.
Then there are the still greater
number who are hoboes from choice.
these migrate like certain birds
IN search of suitable climate. In
he winter they go south. for the
sky furnishes their covering with
the earth for their bed. In the
summer the mountain sections are
attractive to them. There is more
shade and the water is good in
the streams. If one possesses so
much as a hook, he can occasion
ally get trout to broil as a side dish
to his handout. 1t is pity that all
cannot be employed and, by the
way, if our Senator Stephan's bill
for state road work was now in
force, those who did not take the
trouble to dodge the road gangs,
might be accommodated with what
they profess to be seeking, work
Once upon time one Coxey
started with a lot of followers to
march to Washington to demand of
Congress a bill providing for some
hundreds of millions of highway
improvements to give work to the
unemployed
That was before the good roads
movement assumed such form, and
though General" Coxey later be
came a manufacturing magnate, his
idea was not a bad one. Much the
same argument could be made to-
day, with the chance that it might
be effective.
AS the road is the trail of tho
unemployed, it's improvement would
go far to solve the work problem.
Why not the government of the
United States and the government of
States make such a provision? 1t
could be so arranged that those of
the unemployed could be employ
ed on highway work by their ap-
plying to certain road overseers, and
they could be paid from public funds
provided for that use. Those who
really wanted work could then get
it. 1t might be well in the creation
OF such measure to empower over
seers with authority to compel pro-
fessional work dodgers coming with
cannot have too much road work
and such an arrangement would,
where in force, solve the tramp
question. 1t would protect the un-
fortunate and drive out the dodger
of work, who naturally forms the
vicious element in the army of
tramps.

1t is but natural that the tax
payers of Colorado should be Curl

papers got for supporting the graft

Senator Stephan is quite proud
of his ten million dollar road bill
having received the governors sig
nature. He is an enthusiastic good
roads man, as we all are, and
greatly desires to see the two mil

the state highways. AS Senator
Stephan explains the bill it will
greatly benefit the state, while not
in any way working financial
hardship, and that is the kind of a
bill we want.
