ONE HUNDRED AUTOS ARE
OWNED IN CITY OF DELTA
Represents an Investment Of Over
500, ,OOO-Is Ahead of Any
City Of its Size.

Several of the towns and cities
of this state have made official
showings OF the number of automo-
biles owned within their corporate
limits, the amount invested, ETC.,
and one of the most recent OF
these was that of Montrose, which
appeared in columns of a Montrose
paper last week, and according to
that statement eighty autos are
licensed in Montrose and the value
of this number is estimated at about
$4,000.
The Independent reporter made an
investigation Of the records of the
city clerk here Tuesday and found
that Delta has one hundred automo-
bile licenses in force at the present.
just twenty ahead of our sister city
near the foot hills, and the invest
ment approaches the 100000 mark.
This record does not include the
machines owned by nearby fruit
growers and farmers. for they
are not required to take out the us
ual license. To add these to the
list, it is said the number would
be easily doubled, as would also
the amount of money involved.
And then we might mention the
half-dozen big freighting machines
which are also used for hauling by
different farmers of the district. As
these machines cost from $4,000 to
81 900 each. II would materially in
crease the sum invested.
The city also has large num-
Der of motorcycles which operate un-
der license and add TO the sums
placed in such manner.
The Montrose parer, referring TO
their record. remarks that it certain
speaks well for the prosperity oil
Monfrose county. as 1t means that
there is one machine to every
eighty-three people throughout the
county. In that view. our record

Young Man of Coalby Contemplated
Self-E EestluctiOn For Over

The body of Arthur Reese, who
last week, was laid at rest in a

day. and thus ended the short ca
Teer of a young man who was i'm
perfect health and had future con-
fronting him which might have prov
en- well worth while.
Reese, as stated in Independent
tflmns last week, considered hfe
unbearable without the girl of his
choice. He had been with her much
of the time the last few months pre-
ceding his tragic death, and was
either promised her heart and hand
or was led to infer as much by every
consent and action.
Then another young man came up
on the scene-one who had pre-
viously associated with the young
woman, it is said-and she dropped
Reese without notice and went
straightway and married the origin

he heard of his girl being already

tain, and the disappointed young
man returned to his home to brood
over the matter. Then he began
period of dissipation, trying to drown
his sorrow, and he frequently re-
marked to persons on the ranch
that he would kill himself. They
knew something of his sorrow, but
argued that he would soon forget
the whole affair and become himself
again.
Not SO, however. Reese continued
his dissipation, it is said. until the
very day of his suicide. He told
the only person on the ranch that
day, Mrs. Willets, that he would kill
himself. She ran to the field for
help but when they Ieturned they
found Reese dead They had heard

aim had been bad, but all in vain.
Death had been instantaneous.
The funeral was attended by two
