strange winter for this section, such

1t seems hardly worth while to
bring up the subject of dry" in a
Delta convention. The city is dry
and dry to stay. 1t is dry by the
viii of an overwhelming majority.
1t is satisfactorily dry. There are
fewer violations of its prohibition
ordinances than in any other city
in the universe. Rare, indeed. is
there seen case of intoxication.
The saloon. as an institution, has
few advocates Delta will remain a
city of legitimate business and of
homes.
Leslie Conklin had narrow es-
cape from what might have been
bad sccident Tuesday night He was
trying out the new standardization
car. which had just arrived. and
while attempting to light the lights,
the safety plug blew out of the car

reason. just as he struck a match.

was forced upward by about two
hundred pounds pressure, ignited.
Leslie received slight burns on his
hands in attempting to turn it OF,
but aside from this and the scorch
ing of n little paint from one of the
doors, no damage was done.
