OLD COMMERCIAL ASSN.
WILL CAPITULATE TO NEW

/ The new boosters association, or
ganized last week, but not as yet
named, is, We understand, to take
over the members of the former as
sociation, or those who desire to
become mem bers. and will virtually
acquire the assets of that association.
The new commercial body IS eN-
pected to put vigor and life into
publicity matters and hopes to OBJ
tain a membership that will not on
ly insure united effort in boosting
for desirable enterprises. but will
which to accomplish much for the
city and county.
Through the organization of the
new body much new blood has been
introduced and special interest of
the younger business men and citi-
zens enlisted. and by absorbing the
best boosters of the old ograniza-
tion, it is expected that great
amount of good can be accomplish
ed for Delta and Delta county.
If "in union there is strength,
and there is no gainsaying the adage,
the steps taken to assure unity of
action by merging the old and new
organizations must meet with the
entire approved of everybody.
Our city and county cannot have
too much of the right kind of pub
licity. The world should know about
us and what we have. and when We
have visitors of rank. they should
be welcomed and taken care of-and
if from Missouri or anywhere else

REV. ANTHONY JACOBS RE
SIGNS BAPTIST PASTORATE

No little surprise to the Baptist
congregation was occasioned last
Sunday morning by the reading of
an open letter announcing the res
ignation of the Rev. Anthony JAG
obs, pastor of the church for over
wear past, and to take effect by
November /, next, or not later than
Novamber l5. There was not a sus-
picion that Rev. Jacobs had any de-
sire to leave Delta and it was there
fore quite natural for the surprise
to follow.
Rev. Jacobs gives as his reason
for departing from here. a desire
to locate in some locality where
Mrs. Jacobs, who is in poor health
can find benefits. He, himself. finds
deafness detrimental to his work.
Rev. Jacobs has become popn-
lar pastor. not alone with his con-
gregation, but with the people of
the city in genreal and all will re
gret to learn of his decision to To-
cate elsewhere. but will wish him
we'll wherever he may go.

THE GLORY OF OUR srups.

In the window of the Gets store
is the product from one hill of pota-
toes, which numbers fourteen and
weighs 11ia pounds. The fourteen
potatoes are average commercial size
though some of them are perhaps a
trifle larger than they should be.
In the same store are exhibited
three potatoes from Viewpoint up
the Gunnison Il miles from Delta.
These three weigh 6 pounds and Were
grown without irrigation.
DR.. T.. S. Corlbin has one potato in
the window of the Surface Creek
Realty company's office which bal
ances the scales at nearly five
pounds.
1t is not, however. the big pota-
toes that have made the Western
Slope famous as n potato section.
or that are worth the most in the
market, but the we'll averaged hill
which has tho most half-pound
spuds in It. These are the most
sought and bring and command the
highest market price.

TRAIN LOAD OF CATTLE
TO GO OUT NEXT WEEK
Stock Growing is Good Branch
of the Gold Producing Re-
sources of Delta County.

1t is not all fruit or all farming
in this section of the Western Slope,
as people on the outside might
be led to believe by reading contin-
uously of our matchless yields
of apples, peaches, potatoes, sugar
beets, etc, for We rank we'll with
many of the more pretentious stock
growing districts of the west.
II is a well known fact that H.
E. Perkins of this city, owns and op-
crates one of the biggest sheep
camps in Colorado, that he makes
big shipments of fat lambs to the
eastern markets each year and that
he usually tops the market. 1t is
also known that he furnishes a big
wool clip each season and that his
enterprise brings thousands of dol
lars into Delta conuty annually.
NJ. W. Ramsey of this city, and
several other smaller growers add
greatly to the income by their ship
ments of both sheep and wool and
We must not forget to reckon with
these sources of revenue.
And then we can mention a few
of our leading cattle growers, am
ong whom are ]. B. Killian, w. E.
Schoolfield and Clarence Mower.
These men have ranges above Ce-
daredge and have dozens of men
employed every month in the year
looking after their herds, feeding in
winter, etc.
A train load of fine fat steers
will leave the Delta yards for Den
yer, Kansas City mad other markets
tomorrow and this shipment will
mean the return of many dollars to
Delta county.

SEVERAL FORGERIfS
HAVE BEEN REPORTED
SMALL CHECKS WE'RE RAISED.
Two or More Of the Most hecen1
Acts in That Line OF Gen1r-
ally Krown-CiGmina are
Still at Large.

There are several pretty clever
pen artists among the fruit pickers
this season." remarked one OF the
county's officers to an Incepnedent
reporter the other day, ''and their
being here and posing as peach pick
ers is only a blind. Several little
check deals have been reported to as
and it is not unlikely that number
of arrests will be made in the near
future"
Two young men, claiming to hail
from Collbran in Mesa county. who
were working in orchards near Cory
raised small checks, which 1t seems
they had no trouble in cashing at
Austin about a week ago. but these
cases are not the ones referred to
by our informant. They are by
men of more extended experience
at the forgery game and for sums
trifle larger.
The two boys who cashed checks at
Austin gave their names as J. w.
Lowell and George Martin. and theil
home as Collbran, but even If they
were from the Mesa county hill tops
several miles from railroads and
merry -go-rounds- they had some
little nerve and a slight inkling OF
the desperate business.
The journal at Austin, states
that the boys worked four hours for
K. Stabler and received checks TO
the amount of one dollar each. They
came to Austin and proceeded to
get busy and raised the checks to
ten dollars each, which they cashed
without difficulty. one to j. C.
Watts and the other to Mrs. Frank
Lemaster. The checks as original
ly made out stated that the men
had worked ,fonr hours. which the
easily changed % forty hours and
as IL was after dark when the checks
were cashed the deception was not
noticed until the two young men
were out of the country. They are
known and it is only a matter of
tmie until they are caught and pun
ished.

LITTLE COSTS OF PRIMARY.

1t is estimated that tha 1900
votes cast at the late primary in
Delta county will average SO per
vote in cost to the county, n total
of $4,000.
1t is now predicted that every
county In Colorado will be obliged
to buy new ballot boxes for the
November election, to hold the big
ballots. and the total cost for box
es. In such case, is placed at $780,
900.
The recent PRIMARIES. 1t is claim
ed. cost the people of the state
100000. The publishing of the ini-
tiative and referendum laws and
other reform" prellminaries to the
general election, entailed by the
new election laws. Is estimated at
100000 more. making total OF
100000 extra election expenses to
Colorado this year.

SOME FAST RACES PROMISED
SOON ON THE DELTA TRACK

During the Delta and Montrose
vairy existed among the admirers of
Gypsy Wood. the beautiful black
mare owned by w. S. Massa, and
Fieety Gazelle owned by j. f. Baker.
and also between j. Il. owned by
James Barnard. and Charley Worth
owned by Baker. As a result of
this rivalry matched race has
been arranged to take place on the
Delta track between these horses,
one between Gypsy Wood and Fleety
Gazelle and the other between J.
b. and Charley Worth. The race
will either be on the lth or 18th
of October. This will be good con-
teai. Full announcements concern
ing conditions and dates will be
r,ade in next weeks paper.
In the free for all race here on
the last day of the fair for S225'
the contest between Gypsy Wood and
Fleety Gazelle was extremely close.
and the decision was in favor of
the latter. because of Gypsy Wood
breaking five times.
The same horses wero rivals on
the Montrose track last week when
Gypsy Wood came out n strong win
ner and now soma speed events
are to occur which are likely to
draw large audiences.

CHARTER WINS;
MAJORITY SMALL
DELTA NOW ASSURED OF COM
MISSION FORM OF CITY
GOVERNMENT.
Small Interest Was Taken at the
Election on Tuesday and Only
About One-Third Of Citys
Tax Payers Get Out to
Vote on Charter.

The special election held in Del
ia Tuesday to vote for or against the
commission form of government for
the city of Delta. carried by mai
ority OF ten votes out of about two
hundred and twenty-five votes cast
by property owners.
Those who voted against the char
ter, VITO expressed a reason, most
ly regarded the city rather small at
this time for the change. Those
voting for it were comprised OF com
mission form enthusiasts and also
some who were in favor of any kind
OF a change from the existing. The
non-voters were mostly of the don't
care c-which-way-it-goes class.
Having carried. the new form of
city government will be put into op-
Grafton. and. after being tried, the
people will have a chance TO see
how they like It.
In any event. there will be some
men selected by the voters to man
age the city and these men will of
course be elected because of their
fitness and will be paid salary
for performing their work. over
their heads Will hang the recall,
which. It is argued. will stimulate
effort.
Up to the spring election mat
tiers will be conducted by the pres
ent mayor and council and there
will be no changes in the city gov
ernment or the forces in charge of
the different departments.
While the Iowa legislature con
fined the commission form to cities
OF not lees than 10000 population.
and while the charter just adopt
ed by Delta may possibly prove a
trifle elaborate for city of its
size. stin. II found so. doubtless 1t
can be readjusted. II rcadjus,ment
shall be found advisable.

Another Serious Accident.

On Tuesday another little five
year-old boy, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. L. Benton of Garnet mesa
was at play in a corn field near
his home and fell On hill of
sharp corn stubble, one of the hard
stalks piercing his right cheek and
coming out through his mouth.
The child's cries for help were
heard at the home and members of
the family rushed out to gaze upon
scene which was surely heart
rending. He was carried to the
house where surgeons made neces-
sary adjustments and are expecting
to leave him almost unscarred.

BOYS SKULL CRUSHED
BY A HAY DERRICK
FoUR-YEAR-oLD BOY IS VICTIM.
Socn Regains Faculties-An-

With Corn Stalk.

Charlie Williams, the little four
Williams, who reside on a farm ad-
joining that of Ruby Neff, on Gar
net mesa, met with an accident at
about 3 O'Clock Monday afternoon
which might easily have caused in
stant death, and, as it is, the little
fellow is not out of danger. but
the attending physicians have every
hope of restoring him to former con-
ditions.
The boy wandered out in a hay
field on the Neff place that after
noon, where his father was helping
to stack and was at play near the
operations when the long, heavy
beam which carries the hay litter
broke. and as it swayed around the
stack the boy was dealt a heavy
blow on the back of his head which
delltd, him to the ground. He was
picked up unconscious few mo-
ments later by his father and car
ried home and necessary medical
attention was summoned.
Careful examinations were made
revealing the injuries to be frac-
ture of the skull some three or
four inches in length and several
severe bruises. A small portion of
the skull was found to bear direct
ly over the brain and this was care
fully removed by a trepaning opera
tion. He is now resting comfortably
and there is every hope of his COM
plete recovery

HOME RULE BILL
MAY NOT PASS

LONDON, April 21.-The ADJOURN
ment until Monday of the Home Rule
debate in the House of Commons has
given an interval in which the opin-
ions of public men of all classes are
being canvassed. AS far as details
are concerned, especially of the COM
pick financial proposals Of the bill, it
will be necessary to await until the
measure is in print, which probably
will be Wednesday.
On the stock exchange the introduc-
ton of the bill had no effect. Consols
rose slightly, but Irish bank and land
stocks prices did not change.
According to the Unionist view, the
failure of the measure to affect pri-
ces was due to a belief among bank
ers and financiers that the bill never
will become a law. Criticism of the
measure seems likely to fasten itseN
upon the financial proposals not only
on the part of the opponents, but
also supporters of the bill, as the
financial statement, together with the
clause calling for a nominated senate
are considered it's weakest spots.
The exemption of Ireland from any
contribution to the army, navy or dip
lomatic service is condemned; it is
predicted that such a dual govern
ment as the bill proposes would lead
to constant friction between the I'm.
perial and Irish parliaments because
the Imperial parliament, the Lord
Lieutenant Of Ireland and the privy
council each would possess the power
to veto over the irish parliament.
The Spectator describes the bill as
foolish and cowardly. It says the gov
eminent, afraid to grant the Nation
alists' demand for colonial home rule
bribed them into accepting much less
to begin with, but allowing forty Irist
members to remain in Westminster
has provided them with an instrument
for extorting in the future colonia
powers. The Spectator adds that a!
