WILL ORGANIZE TO HANDLE
IMPORTED HELP QUESTION
Business Mems Association Hold a
Special Meeting to Try to
Arrange Matters.

On Tuesday night of this week a
meeting was held at the court hous
under the auspices of the Business
Men association, at which plans
were discussed as to the most salts
factory method of obtaining the
necessary outside help for the hand
ling and harvesting of the enormou
fruit crop in this end of the county.
Though not attended by as many
as had been hoped for, still many
of the leading fruit growers and
shippers of the district We're present
and most profitable discussion
was INDUCED in.
The paramount idea seemed to be
that no time should be lost in eff
fecting some permanent organization
whose purpose and object should be
the appointment of various commit
tees and officers to handle this SER
ious question OF the supply and de-
maad of imported help to the fruit
growers and farmers as their crops
may require it.
r. C. Ten Eycke, superintendent
Of the Rio rande third division, and
". B Kelney, general agent of the
road with head quarters at Grand
Junction, were present and assured
the meeting Of the hearty co-opera-
sion of the Rio rande, both in the
important question OF the supply of
empty cars TO replace the loaded
ones, and also the furnishing of
cheap passage to bona fide workers
on orchards or farms
The following men were selected
as temporary committee to noti-
fy and urge upon the orchardists and
farmers in their districts, to attend
the mass meeting TO be held in Del
Ia next Tuesday, June Is, at o.
clock p. m:
W. w. Dingman, Cedaredge; Z. F.
Hubbard. Orchard City; L. w. Sweit-
ger. Garnet mesa; Sam Snow, Calf
oraia and Ash mesas; J. C. A. Simp-
son, Redlands; DIR. A. E. Miller. Aus
tin; Milton R. Welch, Delta.
At this meeting it is hoped that
permanent Organization will be eff
fectde and that a serious start will
be made toward solving the question
of necessary help and the caring for
same while here.

WATER TANK WENT OUT
AT MIDNIGHT SUNDAY
Caused Explosion Which Awakened
Entire Population Of Garnet

The east water tank of the pair 10.
stored the water supply for Delta
over twelve years past, and were
alone in that service until substi-
tuted or assisted by the new reser-
voir about a year ago, was scattered
10 the winds shortly after twelve o.
clock Sunday night and the perfect
wrecking of that conspicuous land
mark which has lowered above the
city for so long a time, is in evi-
dence for several yards about the
former location.
The bursting of the big tank made
q report that could be heard by all
residents of Garnet mesa, and there
were many in other parts of the city
awakened by the noise. Several per
sons on the mesa jumped from their
beds and went out to learn the
cause of such report at that hour
of the night. They found the col

but repairs can easily be made, it
is said
The heavy iron bands which held
together the slaves OF the tank,
were badly rusted aad weakened,
thus causing the crash. The other
tank stands nearby and many who
have since viewed the wreck cannot
see how it could escape a similar
fate, as the debris and water must
have struck IL with great force. The
timbers. roofing and bands of the
wrecked tank were scattered in
every direction. leaving the bottom
as clean as though stripped by work
men.
These two tanks, as previously
stated. were all there was to Delta's
water storage until about year ago.
