Mrs. H. ]. Baird presided in
her always efficient manner. Mrs.

this effect: That all efforts here

of intoxicants by adgitation and

than any thing in the world, by
making it's manufacture unlawful.
AS woman's vote is an essential
in such matters, Mrs. Luce related
somewhat of the movement in Cal

them the vote in that state. Music

Alfalfa Meal Mill is Now
Being Planned For

An alfalfa meal mill is one of the
commercial enterprises proposed
for Delta and several of our most
energetic citizens, including a num-
Der of farmers, are taking an active
interest in the matter of promoting
the project.
A Mr. Jackson of Boulder, who
has had much experience with such
mills, having installed several in
different localities of the West
where alfalfa is successfully grown,
has been in the city ten days or two
weeks advancing the idea of putting
in a plant here, and it is not I'M
likely that he will receive the nee
essary support and encouragement.
Mr. Jackson has looked over our
alfalfa growing sections. has care
fully examined all other conditions
and feels fully confident of great
success for the proposed enterprise.
