DELTA AUTOMOBILE TRAIN
VISITS GRAND JUNCTION
Owners of Cars Clear Highway
of Stones and Improve it
Generally.
(From The News. }

From Grand Junction TO Ouray
through Delta and Montrose an
automobile highway that in most
places is like a boulevard now ex-
lists according to the statements of
sixteen Delta boosters and business
men who drove to Grand Junction
yesterday in their autos after spend
ing the entire morning in rolling
rocks and generally improving the
road from Delta to the Mesa coun-
ty line.
A party of twenty-five automo-
bile owners of Delta yesterday
morning left that city in six automo
biles. Most of them had covered
the distance from Delta to Ouray
and were determined to equal that
splendid highway for the rest of
the way to Grand Junction. They
spent five hours along the road in
Delta county rolling boulders out OF
the way and laying general plans
for the county commissioners of
Delta county to follow out with
graders and scrapers. AT ] O'Clock
half the party turned back to Delta
bat the rest came to this city where
they spent several hours.
The general opinion OF these
boosters is that with two small
bridges on the Mesa county side
and with a little leveling on the
Delta side which the county COM
missioners will do the road is in
better shape than ever before.
The Delta people are to be COM
mended for their patriotism in fol-
lowing the road for defects and as
they declare, Our work will be ap-
preciated by all who ever take the
trip and hundreds will avail them
selves of the opportunity this sum-
mer.'
Those in the party who came to
Grand Junction were: Roy l..
Smith, formerly of Grand Junction;
John Travis, Frank Myers, John
uglow, Charles Hall, Fred Trechter.
Ben Elliott, Guy Blair, ]. Gillette,
Percy Coombe, c. A Merrill, Harry
Mathers and Geo. Wilson, chairman
of the Delta board of county COM
missioners. Those of the party who
worked on the road but did not
come as far as this city were: C.
A Bailey. Dan Doughty, T A. Pull
vey, Jack Gale, Marve Meyer, En-
met Meyer. Robert Gale, Everett
Lyle, Leslie Conklin, Frank Sanders
and Charles Sanders.

Must Have Been Rugs.

A Grand Junction paper notes the
presence recently of swarm of
bees on n principal street of that
city. What could bees possibly be
doing in Grand Junction? Must
have been Just some sort of bugs.
In Delta. where there is such an
attraction of sweetness, such sceneS;
are both common and natural. A
Delta Pirl who couldn't go along
the street followed by swarm of
bees would be looked upon as a
back number-or possibly visitor
from Grand Junction.

CHURCH WEEK HAS BEEN
MOST INTERESTING ONE
Delta Has Been Scene of Many
Important and Interesting
Religious Events.

The church week in Delta has
been one of continued interest.
Beginning with the dedication of
the new NJ E. church, Sunday, as
the leading event and followed by
the assembling here of the Rio
Grande District NJ. E. conference,
the program of services has been
continued through the week, each
pastor of the local protestant
churches delivering one of the ser
mons.
The. dedictoary sermon of Bishop
Hamilton, of Boston, as well as his
lecture Monday night, drew i'm
mense crowds and were received
as spiritual and intellectual treats.
The business part of the dedica-
ton festival had mot important
and happy termination. Aside from
the collection, which amounted to
some $1,000, the solid men of the
church congregation got square
ly under the entire obligation which
cape of the building of the fine
new edifice, assumed every dollar
of debt and left the new church
with a clear financial sheet. In
view of the fact that the new build
ing cost SIS. 900, and in view of the
further fact that such debts are
usually OF long standing. the mag
uitude of the achievement at this
business meeting can be understood.
OF the days services, aside from
the mastery delivery of sermons
the music was especially appreciated
Mr.. Fleetwood. leader of the choir.
was assisted by Mr.. Kyffin, leader
of the Baptist church choir.
The personnel of the choir was
as follows: Sopranos-Misses Holte,
Miller. Hammil. Cook, Wishart, Mrs
Seaton. Mrs. Heston. Altos-Misses
buckingham and Uglow. Mrs. Dan
Doughty. Mrs. Merchant Tenors-
S. J. Kyfiin. Ed. Tucker, Rev. Coul-
ton. Bassos-L. A Doud. Dan
Doughty, DIR. Archer, and Prof. Kep-
linger. w. Z. Fleetwood, leader
Mrs. w. G. Hillman. organist.
A vote of thanks was rendered
the pastor. DIR. J. A. Johnson, who
has tirelessly worked to build the
new church-presumably the finest
on the Western Slope-and he was
also voted a vacation. to be spent
where he pleased and whose du-
ration he should himself determine.
The program as announced in the
carried out and the week OF church
service has been one of the most
memorable in the history of Delta.

State Entomologist's Report.

The following statemens in re-
gard to orchards and tree planting
in Colorado are taken from the Re
port of State Entomologist. c. p.
Gillette, for the year 1910, as it
was printed in the Report of the
state board of Horticulture:
The. twelve leading fruit-growing
counties of the state planted. of APP
pies, l,27l.292; of pear, los, ,SS5'
Of peach, prune, plum and apricot
,94,S9s; of cherries, 302, $50, a to-
tai of l,909,442 fruit trees.
At the usual distance for plant
ing, these trees would set 2l,0o0
acres, which is somewhere between
25 per cent and So per cent of the
total acreage in fruit in these coun-
ties In 1909.
Less than per cent, (S5,572)
of the trees shipped in were con-
demned by the inspectors for in
sect pests and diseases. which is a
great improvement in the condition
of the trees received over previous
years.
Delta County has led strongly in
the planting of apple trees, and
Mesa County in the planting of pit
fruits. peach, prune. plum and apri-
cot. Mesa is the only county plant
ing largely of pears. setting about
as many trees the past year as all
the other counties together. Cherries
are planted mostly on the eastern
side of the mountains.

DELTA COUNTY ROADS ARE
BEST on WESTERN SLOPE
Able Overseers Have Worked and
Built Them; Not Talked
About Them.

The remark is common that Delta
county has better roads than other
counties of the Western slope.
This is a direct result of the IN
terest taken here in the matter OF
not merely talking good roads, but
of making them. The talk, however
has naturally had its effect in Great
ing necessary interest, and this in
terest must be kept alive as 1t mas
been for the past three years. Three
years ago the first real interest In
d good roads movement began IN
Delta county. Meetings were held,
the newspapers talked road improve
ment, the people over the county
began first to talk, then to plan and
work. The farm owners in most
districts worked their roads piece
by piece. The county gangs were
where they were most needed, and
the automobile clubs kept a man or
two on duty. Altogether it has had
a splendid effect. Good grades have
been built under such able over
seers as Mark Phoenix, seep places
and ditch overflows have Teen large
ly improved or guarded against.
and the county is gradually acquir-
ing a system of really royal high
ways. Ii must always be remember
ed, however, that the building of
good road is one thing and keep
ing it a good road is another. After
road is once properly graded and
settled, it does not require so much
labor. but it must have little con-
stant attention. Then it will not
only remain good but will gradually
become more perfect. Automobiles
have done and are doing much to
perfect the highways. Three years
ago there were perhaps no more
than half a dozen autos in Delta
county. We do not know how many
there are today, but would guess
there are at least 200.

Madero captured Juarez Wednes-

capture of Juarez is reported to have
been accomplished with consider
able loss of life.

Agricultural Towns Gain;
Mining Camps Lose.

Out of 200 towns in Colorado
shown in the revised census report
of 1910, 1872 show good gains for
the ten years since 1900, when the
last national census was taken.
Some of these towns more than
doubled during the census period.
There were As towns of the 200
which show less population than
ten years ago, most of which are
mining camps. Some of these have
lost as high as 40 per cent of the
population they had ten years ago.
The towns decreasing in popula-
tion are: Altman, Anaconda. Aspen.
Basalt. Black Hawk. Bonanza, Breck
enridge, Central City, Crede, Crest
ed Butte. Cripple Creek, Guadalupe.
Gunnison. Hastings, Hooper, Idaho
Springs, Lake City. Ironton. James
town, Lawrence, Leadville. Empire.
Erie, Fairplay. Florence, George
town, Gillette. Goldfield. Nevadaville
ophir. Ouray, Pagosa Springs, Palm
er Lake, Ponacha Springs. Red
Mountain. Rico, st. Elmo, silver
Cliff. Silver Plume, Telluride Victor,
Ward. Westcliffe, Woodland.
1t would appear that agricultural
sections are having their day. for
not one agricultural town in the
state shows a decrease in ten years.
while most of them show a very.
large increase of population.

Colorado Has State Flag.

For the first time in its history
Colorado has a state flag. In 1907
state banner was created by a
law enacted at the instance OF the
Denver Chapter, Daughters OF the
American Revolution, but this ban
ner, which was dark blue, failed to
become popular. only two specimens
of t having been made during the
four years.
Being desirous of having a prac-
tical official state flag for Colorado,
the same organization, the Denver
Chapter, Daughters of the American
Revolution, through the assistance
of Senator Sharpley, introduced
bill for a state flag to be made ac-
cording TO a design invented by
A. C. Carson, president of the Ohio
Society of Colorado. This bill was
enacted into a law by the state leg
islature on the fifth of May, 1911.
The flag is composed of two Yale
blue stripes and one white stripe, OF
equal width, at right angles to the
stess sad at one end a large red G
with a gold center. and is consider
ed a most significant and striking
oesign. This flag has twelve sig
uifications. They are as follows;
/. The red color stands for Colo
rado, a Spanish word meaning red
.. The letter stands for Colo
Iado, playground of America
8. The letter c stands for the
Centennial state, Colorado having
been admitted to the union in the
year 1S76-the one hundredth an
Eiversary of American independ-
ence.
4. The letter c stands for Column
b!ne, the state flower of Colorado.
5. The gold center represents
the sun which shines all the year
round in Colorado.
e. The aureate center also rep
resents the most precious of metals,
gold. in the possession and produc-
ton of which Colorado excels all
other states.
I. The white stripe typifies the
white metal. silver, in whose posses
sion and production, also, Colorado
leads the entire galaxy of states.
s. The white stripe further rep
Rockies, Americas greatest noun
tain range.
.. The Yale blue stripes stand
for the radient blue sky which smile
on Coloradoans from the years end
TO years end.
10. The blue and white stripes
together give us two of the delicate
colors of the exquisite state flower,
the columbine.
IL. The interlaced gold and sill
yer cords emblem atize the union and
harmony of the finest qualities OF
mankind in the people of the Cen
tennial state.
l2. The Colorado state flag, in
its full glory, stands for all that is
most beautiful. dearest and best-fol
home and motherland. in whose il
limitable and splendid future we
believe with an abiding faith, and
for whose upbuilding and eNalta-
ton and glorification all true Colo
radoans pledge the best there is
in them.

McNico's Napoleon In
tended for Church.


Porfirio Diaz was born September
Is, 1880. on the anniversary of Mex
Jean independence. Oaxaca was his
birthplace. His father was a Span
lard and his mother was of Indian
extraction. His mother at first in
tended that he should enter the
church, but finally yielded to his
desires. so that he pursued the
studies then required for law
yer's career.
While thus engaged the invasion
of Mexican territory by the Ameri-
can troops occurred, and young
Diaz. with other fellow students. Of
fered his services to the governor
of Oaxaca. The governor accepted
their patriotic offer. but did not
require the students to go to the
battlefield.
Diaz served in the revolt against
Gen. Santa Anna, and supported
Juarez in his war of reform, which
began in 1855 and ended in 1858.
At the age of % he was general of
brigade, fighting the French when
Napoleon III. tried to place Maxi
millian on the Mexican throne. Max
imilian and his generals were cap
tured by him in 1867 and soon afte,
Mexico City capitulated.
Diaz was regularly elected pres
ident of Mexico for the first time
in 1877. He was succeeded at the
end Of his term by Gen. Manuel Con
zales.
