Executive Ability Chief Requisite.

The chief quality needed by the assist
ant superintendent, the school heads say,
is executive ability. This characteristic
II is claimed, is more in evidence anon
some of the above-named officials than
others. hence the position is limited to
comparatively few.

Two Men Eliminated.

The failure OF Congress to raise the
salary of the secretary TO $4,000 a
year has disposed of two men whose

to leave his place as collector of Gus
toms in New York, paying $4,000 a
year, to return to his old position In
the White House at A reduction In sal
ary Mr.. Loeb in the light of history,
is often referred to as the model OF a
presidential secretary. and President
TaftS friends have expressed the nope
that Mr. Loeb could be induced to re-
turn here.
1t is said that if it became known that
Representative Dawson would become sec
retary. the House would agree to the
Senate provision for $4,000 year Tor
secretary. owing to the personal popu-
larity of Mr.. Dawson in the lower house
of Congress.

Hyde Unaware of Fund.

Justice Seabury, however, ruled that
such testimony would have no direct
bearing on the case. 1t was indicated
though, that HYDE might be cal cd TO
testify on other points more directly con-
nected with the charge. Gardner him
self was expected to take the stand early
in the course of the defense.
City Chamberlain Hyde came out fatty
on the witness stand and denied that
he had been present at any meeting
at Delmonico's to raise a fund to defeat
the racing bills. or had heard of the
raising of any Doodle fund.
The city chamberlain was much
sought witness during the legislative
Investigating committees sessions here

racing legislation. 1t was reported that
Mr.. Hyde was one among the number
of gentlemen who were present at
dinner at Delmonico's and raised $780,,
900 to he used in Albany against the
racing measures.
Mr.. Hyde returned from Florida where
he said he had gone for his health. short

The Delta independent., 1911-08-04
From n Money View.

There is no question but that
times should soon pick up over
this section, from money point
of view.
In Delta alone and this early
in the season, there is being mar
keted $1,000 day of produce, the
bulk of which is potatoes.
Early potatoes Just began ship
ping a week or ten days back, and
he shipments have so far averaged
five cars day from Delta. At a
selling price of S1.75 per 100
POUNDS, this would foot up nearly
$4,000 for spuds alone. In the
other lines of produces being mar
keted, are early peaches, early
apples, small fruits. hay to local
consumers. poultry, butter, eggs
and garden stuff. which will no
doubt. exceed the amount lacking to
make our income So 200 day.
And this is merely the beginning
of harvest movements.
The early potato shipments Will
last through this month. The wheat
and oats, n very heavy crop Will
begin threshing soon. The second
cutting of alfalfa is under way. The
cantaloupe crop will be shipping the
latter part of this month. The ship
ping of the main peach crop Will
last into September. October and
November will witness the moving
OF the sugar beets and winter
apples. this year reconed nj
S3,000.000 product.
1t all looks like ready money. in
stacks, for the late fall and winter.

SAY SUGAR BEET CROP FOR
1911 BREAKS ALL RECORDS
Factory at junction Will Slice so
Per Cent More Beets This
Year Than Last.

In a dispatch sent from Grand
junction which appeared in the
Denver Times Sunday, in which it
was stated that there would be
nearly fifty per cent increase in
beet production in Western Colorado
and Easter Utah, from whence the
factory at Grand Junction is sup
piled, appeared the following:
The run last year was but 49,
600 tons of beets. This season, ac-
cording to estimates made by the
field men. the run for the Western
Sugar and Land Company factory
will exceed $4,000 tons. The in
crease is due to the campaign to
prevent the sugar factory at this
point from being closed, because of
the failure of farmers to supply
sufficient beets to make it profit
able.
The acreage this year is SO
large that the Western Sugar and
Land company will undoubtedly
erect second plant at Delta
next year in order to handle the
crop from the Gunnison and I'm
compahgre valleys.
The acreage is not only much
larger than ever before, but the
production per acre is also greater,
and the sugar company expects
to distribute from 100000 to $500
600 TO the beet growers of the
Western Slope the coming season.
A four months run will be re-
quired to handle the entire output
OF the territory which ships to the
Grand Junction factory.
Two government experts have
been in the valley for the past
week looking over the beet crop
for the department of agriculture.
They report the crop in splendid
condition and find no evidence of
insect pests which have been play
ing havoc in other beet districts.
The experts are E. j. Pritchard
and II. A. Edison of Washington.
They declare that their visit has
nothing to do with the investiga
tions made by congress of the sugar
trust. Edison says that in many OF
The sugar beet sections leaf
spots are doing severe damage TO
the crops, but he did not find this
plague on the Western Slope. Edison
also states that in the Arkansas
valley the growers have learned to
centralize the disease. He promised
that an experiment station would

assist the growers in case it is
needed

ASSESSOR COCKREHAM
ALSO A DELTA ENTHUSIAST ]
Gives County Some Coed Advertis-
ing While at State Assessors
Conference.

The sixty-one county assessors
Of Colorado met at the State
House in Denver Tuesday accord
ing to a law requiring an annual
conference for the purpose of decid-
ing on a uniform system OF assess
ing various kinds OF property. The
conference lasted two days.
The conference was designed tc
protect the revenues OF the state.
the total valuation oil all the coun-
ties. 1t has been the custom in
some counties to asses on a low val
uation and increase the rate, which
resulted in a full revenue for the
county, but an unequal division for
the state government.
Two years ago the assessors
agreed that all should assess On
basis of one-third the actual valua-
ton of all the property in their
respective counties. The result was
large increase in state revenue.
The assessors are paid $50 by
the state for attending the meeting.
Delta county will make an in
crease in tax valuation of SlO6, 900,
declares Assessor S. l.. Cockreham,
who is in Denver to attend the
state convention of county asses
sors.
In an interview with Denver
newspaper men the day before the
conference, Assessor S. L. Cockre-
ham, OF Delta county, made the
following remarks:
Our county has now a valua-
ton of s5.I69.OO0," said Mr.. Cock
reham; two years ago l made an
Increase of s1.5O0.0OO.
Delta is in prosperous shape.
If every county in the state would
produce this year as Delta Will,
Colorado would be declared the most
prosperous spot on earth.
Our apple and other fruit crops
are tremendous. We have had no
pests to bother the fruit because
the rain has been sufficient to drive
them away. We have no need of
the Gunnison tunnel this year. The
water is flowing bank-high in all
the bitches.
The beet acreage is the largest
we have ever planted in our county
and it is a fine crop.
Potatoes also will yield heavily.
One man in Delta sold an acre and
three quarters of potatoes for SSSi
last week,
MIR. Cockreham has been elected
assessor for five consecutive terms,
said the Denver Times, the last two
against his desire to retire.

RIO GRANDE MAY OPERATE
MOTOR CARS OVER HERE
Present Poor Connections and Cen
eral Service Causing a Lot
of Complaint.

That the passenger traffic on
the third division of the Rio Grande
has grown to wonderful extent
during the last two years is fact
known to all, and another well
known fact is that the one cause
of it not growing great deal
faster, is the poor connections with
main line trains which force many
delays to the traveller.
The motor cars that have been
suggested are being operated very
successfully other places in Colo
rado. They are noiseless, clean
and fast, and preferred by many
to electric cars. That it would be
most convenient thing, as well
as big boost to this section to
nave them in operation on this divi-
sion there is little doubt, and We
suggest that the Delta County Busi-
ness Mems Association look into
the matter and lend their co-opera.
tion to the movement started by
the Grand Junction chamber of
commerce and heralded by the
Grand Junction Sentinel, in the
article herewith appended:
Efforts are now being made by
the Chamber of Commerce as well
a number of business men in the
city to have the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad put on a better
service between Grand Junction and
points along the third division. To
solve this question the motor cars
run by the gasoline engine have
been suggested as a means of hand
ling passenger traffic only, the
cars being of capacity large enough
to carry between so and 60 people.
With the present schedule, ship
pers or those coming here for any
business whatever, have to spend
two nights and day here which
on many occasions is very incon-
venient and they suggest the gas
oline propeller car as the solution
of the question. Many people from
points all along the road would
spend more time and money in the
city if new schedule could be
arranged.
