CROWD OF DELTA PEOPLE GO
TO DENVER IN AUTOMOBILES

Tuesday morning witnessed the
departure of four automobiles from
Delta, bound for Denver.
These cars contained Senator and
Mrs. George stephan, Mr.. and Mrs
Walter Hillman. Mr.. and Mrs. viii
II. Mathers, Mr.. and Mrs. w. R.
Johnson.
The party was equipped with a
complete camping outfit and will
make the trip to and from the cap
itol city in a leisurely manner,
camping at convenient places along
the road.
1t was the intention to ship the
autos from Cimarron across the di-
vide and go the western route, but
failure to receive word regarding
flats ordered for the purpose. al
tered the program and the party
went by way of Grand Junction.
That the trip will be intensively
enjoyed. goes without saying. The
trip and visit in Denver will occupy
about two weeks.

eous

OF COAL LAND
TO CITIES Is FAVOREDs

X Secretary Fisher has plan to al
lot government coal lands to cities,
which in turn, may operate them un-
der certain regulations, to supply
municipal needs as well as those of
citizens.
As first step in the plan.
Secretary Fisher has recommended
that congress pass bill granting
$40 acres of coal land to the city
of Grand Junction, Colorado.
Cities in Colorado, Utah. New Mex
leo, Wyoming. Montana, Idaho and
other public land states west of the
Missouri river would be NEST vitally
affected by Secretary Fishers plan
The general bill he offers would
authorize the secretary of the in
terror to patent $40 acres of gov
ernment land for each city and l60
for each town under conditions pro-
viding for prompt and continuous
development of the coal. the pre-
vention of any assignment or trans
fer of the land, the safeguarding
of the health and safety of the la
borers mining or handling the coal,
the prevention of the undue waste of
mineral resources and other restric-
tions.
The secretary believes that any
such patent should be safeguarded by
the provision that the title shall re-
vert to the government If any city
or town to which coal land shall be
patented shall at any time fail to
perform any condition of the patent.
BY retaining the title in its own
hands and properly conditioning the
lease, Secretary Fisher believes it
will be possible to protect the pub
lie from extortion.
Upon the request of Representa-
tive Taylor of Colorado. Secretary
Fisher has directed that the coal
lands desired by Grand Junction be
held withdrawn from entry.

RACING AGAINST DEATH
TO HOME OF HIS MOTHER,

]. F.. Sullson of North Delta, was
notified by wire Tuesday evening
after the west-bound train had
pulled out. that his mother was ly-
ing at the point of death at her
home in Idaho, and for him to come
at once If he would see her alive.
Mr.. SuIlson Immediately made ar
rangements for an auto run TO
Grand Junction. where he could
catch n train. Mason Brown drove
him down and was under orders to
get all possible speed out of his
machine, for the train he wished
to take would leave Grand juno
ton at $50 or thereabouts and
it was 5:45 when they started.
Brown complied strictly with or
ders, and landed his passenger at
the depot in Grand Juntion in good
time to catch the west-bound train
which would carry him to the home of
his mother, even though roads were
badly washed out In several places
by the rain that afternoon. Mr..
Brown started home "Wednesday
morning little ahead Of the morn
ing passenger train. and came In
first by at least fifteen minutes.

POTATO CROP AND MARKET.

Spuds are going out in heavy
shipments at roe. 1t is hard to
predict what may be ahead for tho
storage proposition, as the future
market cannot be foretold with any
degree of certainty. 1t is the early
varieties that are now rushing to
market, and the high price of last
years early potatoes led to heavy
planting. AS an offset to the
short crop and heavy prices of last
year. growers are confronted with
a large general crop this year. and
so far. about one-half the price re-
ceived last year.
1t is very probable that the large
acreage planted to early potatoes
will cover the bulk of the crop tins,
season. and may or may not result In
reaction to higher prices at later
period.
In any event. the suggestion to
hold will appeal strongly II pres
ent market prices decline to bon
low figure. and as the potato must
serve to supply a large part Of the
food consumption for the CROWNS
population, there seems strong hops
of fairly good market through TIA
winter montha

YOUNG RUSSIAN LAD
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
BULLET PASSED THROUGH BODY
Injured and Carried Home by
His Brother and Surgeon
Hastily Summoned.

The two young sons of JOSEPH Zun-
tobel, a Russian beet grower who OPP
crates a small tract of land on Gar
net mesa about two and one-half
miles from town, were out hunting
last Saturday afternoon, near their
home, and one of the boys carried a
22 callibre rifle with which to fell
anything in the way of game to
cross their path.
The pair of hunters were trailing
along through a field when the one
in the rear, who carried the gun,
thought to inspect his weapon in or
der to make certain that he was all
ready for action, and during this
inspection the gun was accidentally
discharged, the bullet entering the
body of the other boy just above the
lower part of the spine. The leaden
missile glanced on the bone and
made its exit thorugh the right hip.
The injured lad fell in his tracks
and was hastily conveyed to his
home by the terrified brother. Local
physicians were summoned to the
scene and examinations revealed the
fact that no vital points had been
struck by the bullet and that the ac-
cident would not prove serious un-
less applications set in.
|, The two boys, who are from II
to IA years of age, are accustomed
to the use of fire arms, it is said.
and are usually cautious in their
handling. This time, however. the
barrel of the rifle was pointed di-
rectly at the lad in front when ex-
aminations were being made, and the
first serious accident resulted. 1t
is reported that the victim will be
laid up for repairs at least two or
three weeks.

WORK ON BLACK MESA
ROAD TO BEGIN At ONCE
GnnisOn County Has Bids in t.
Take Care of SapinerO End
of Highway.

An announce ment was made in the
Grand Junction Sentinel Tuesday
that the convict road camp which
mas been in Mesa county through
the sumer. would be moved to
Delta county, because of lack of
funds in Mesa TO further pay for
its work at the present.
Regarding the matter of the camp
coming here, Commissioner Wilson
states that the beard of Delta coun-
ty will reject the proposition to
work the convicts on Delta county
roads at this time, as the season
would be short where work would
be needed.
Mr.. Wilson cited that bids had
already been received by Gunnison
county for more than five miles of
the worst part of the road over Black
mesa and down to Sapinero; that
work on this end would be COM
menced at once with the subscrip-
tion fund and that the road could
soon be made passable.
Commissioners WI son and Roberts
in company with State Highway
Commissioner Allen. State Engineer
Mahoney and Engineer Vickery of
Delta, made a trip of inspection of
the route outlined, this week. re-
turning to Delta Wednesday evening.

over the vast territory of fine
red soil to be watered by the fEs-
calante canal which was recent

No one member OF this dis
tinguished party had ever visited
this section of the Western Slope
before and it is needless to add that
all were much surprised at the ad-
vanced condition of our farms and
OANudIuS. Hts were Qullt icduy "

SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT
WAS NARROWLY AVERTED.

In spite of the fact that there
are as many automobiles in action
every day in Delta as there are in
any other city of It's size and class.
and that there are always n few
new ones at the wheel, yet but few
serious accidents have resulted and
no deaths.
There was an accident, however,
last Friday morning, and Mrs. G. p.
Rice. who Is here from Glenwood
Springs. the guest of her brother
A. Cartwright, was the victim. Mrs.
Rice was walking along Main street
and when about to cross in front of
the entranceway TO the Gets
garage, n big machine came up and
turned in. The horn was sounded.
It Is said. and the driver shouted to
Mira. Rice but she seemed confused
and plunged directly in front Of
the auto and was knocked down.
The injured woman was carried
into Gets hardware store where she
soon recovered from her shock and
was taken to the homo OF her broth
err, where an examination revealed
her injuries to be but severe bruis-
es, though It was first thought that
the machine had passed over her
lower limbs and caused fractures.
Mrs. Rice IL now reported AZ get
ting along nicely.

NOTHING DOING FOR GRANDE
TAN AGENT ON a CC1

The Rio Grande tax agent was
here last week, as previously stated
in Independent columns for the pur-
pose of effecting settlement of
the 1911 taxes of that company.
long since due, but the settlement
was not made.
The Rio Grande company mailed a
check to County Treasurer Crawford
some months ago which was on n
basis of 75 per cent of the amount
assessed, and for one-half year. The
check was not accepted, however.
nut promptly returned to the COM
pany. Then the agent comes upon
the scene to use his influence In
the compromise matter. and after a
two-days' parley with our board
of county commissioners. which re-
suited in no action being taken, he
returned to Denver and another check
for the other half of his company's
tax was forwarded. but this. too,
was returned to the maker.
County Assessor Cockreham was
out of town when the tax agent ar
rived and the conference with the
board was somewhat retarded. The
agent will return again. he says. In
about thirty days when further ef-
forts will be made to bring about
compromise.

CHILD BURIES PIECE OF
WOOD DEEP IN IT'S EAR.

Many little folks, when at play,
are given to putting all sorts of
things in their mouths, ears, and
noses, and not infrequently do We
read of some permanent damage
resulting to children from some act
of this kind.
One instance of this kind was
reported in Delta Tuesday, when Mr..
and Mrs. H. C. Border brought their
baby to town to have good sized
wooden plug removed from the child
right ear. Just how long the ear
had been in this condition, the
parents do not know and it was only
by accident that the discovery was
made.
Mrs. Border was bathing the child
last Friday, and when washing and
drying the ears she noticed some
obstacle, deeply imbeddcd and en-
tirely out of view when the ear
was not under careful scrutiny. She
then equipped herself with an ear
spoon and found it was a wooden
plug of no small proportions. The
child had doubtless played with a
partially decayed switch which il had
eventually placed in the ear and
broken off.
The wood was successfully re-
moved and it is thought no per
manent injury will result from the
experience.
