CHINESELOANSNOT
OFF, SAYS WILSON
Confidence Is Felt Here that China
Must Still Accept Six.power
Group Proposal.

To conclude from the statement made
by the New York banking houses re-
garding the Chinese loan that the pro-
ject has been abandoned by the six
power banking groups and their respec-
tive governments Is to fall into most
decided error. according to statements
made yesterday by Acting Secretary of
State Huntington Wilson. with every
assurance that the other governments
of the six-power concert are still in
accord with the United States in matters
Affecting Chinese finances, the State De-
partments position remains absolutely
unchanged. Confidence is still felt here
that despite the apparent success Of the
independents in their effort to negoti-
ate comparatively small loan. China
Will ultimately return to the siX-power
groups for the vast supplies of money OF
which she stands in need. It was in
ferred at the State Department yester-
day that the statement made public yes
terday morning by J. P. Morgan & Co.,
Kuhn. Loeb & Co., the National City
Bank. and the First National Bank is
for the purpose of making clear the
course Of events and the attitude Of the
bankers toward them.
1t is well known here that the OBJ
lection in China to the safeguards in
the way Of foreign supervision comes
entirely from the provincial interests.
The provincial leaders fear that they
will suffer loss Of power II the central
government at Pekin becomes strong.
and are consequently making strenuous
opposition to the six-power loan project.
Heretofore the provinces have been per-
mitted to make loans for themselves,
much 20 the profit OF those particularly
interested.
Reports from, London to the effect
that DR.. Morrison. the newly appointed
adviser of the Chinese government, is
supporting the independent" loan, are
regarded with peculiar interest here be-
cause of DR.. Morrison's expressions in
favor OF the six-power project published
this summer in his dispatches to the
London Times. Of which for years he
has been the Pekin correspondent

An Objectionable Exhibit.

DR.. Ira S. Vile, of New York, is to
be commended for the fearless manner
he condemned an exhibit of the Ameri-
can Federation for sex hygiene which
shows casts and photographs which are
only fit to be exhibited in the lecture
hall.
The Herald agrees with the doctor
when he ridicules the idea that such an
exhibit has any moral or reforming ef-
feet. The exhibit is such an extreme
one that it defeats its own purpose. If
the fad of teaching eugenics in the pub
lie schools, now sweeping the country,
should ever take in as part of its teach
ings such fear-inspiring displays it will
defeat what is considered by some as a
good movement, yet at the same time
one that is at present on probation.
1t would be just as we'll if the ad-
vocates of these so-called fads will re-
member there are still some sane
fathers and mothers, still some sane
physicians of both sexes, who are just
as able now as they were in the years
gone by and just as capable of instilling
the right principles in the minds of their
children as any teacher of eugenics or
sex hygiene.
knowledge is not gained through
fear, but by intelligence, and it would
indeed be a sad commentary on the
judgment of our parents and on our
selves if we were to admit that we were
not told those things that We ought to
know in our youth and have not profit

shown what was alleged to be a
small sample of the new gold discov-
cry in Black canon, east of Delta,
and from which an assay of some
$21 per ton was obtained. The rock
appears an iron quartz. and but for
the fact that claim is made
for tellurium content, resembles a
free milling quartz.

which has not been given, and from

NEED OF MOUNTAIN WATER
FOR DOMESTIC PURPOSES
Should Delta Join the People of
Surface Creek to Get it?

Delta county's supply of mountain
water for domestic purposes, can
come but from one source.
Paonia and Hotchkiss can, OF
course. receive an abundant supply
from the source of the North Fork,
Immediately beneath whose fountains
they are located.
Cedaredge can get its supply eth,
err from Surface Creek or from the
Grand mesa lakes, water from eth
er of which can be piped down at
no alarming expense.
Delta, at present and in future
destined to be the largest of the
towns or cities, is more seriously
than any of the others, up against
it on the water works proposition.
This is not a knocker article, but
common sense boost.
Something different from that
which has already cost this city in
the neigh'borhood of 100000 now
seems necessary. If not absolutely
necessary now, it will be in the fu-
ture. for Delta has not alone its
growing population to provide, but
must help out the population OF
miles of country surrounding. The
future will be one to need vast sup
ply.
Heretofore we have worried al
ong with Doughspoon water-wher
we could get tat other times use
| ing water from the Gunnison river
Through the summer and fall
months the supply of Doughspoon
has been ample. During the winter
when ice forms thickly at the head
of the pipe line, and until late in
the spring, that supply is cut off
and we have only Gunnison river
water, which. though better than
that of some other streams. is still
undesirable and generally more or
less contaminated by both seepage
and disease germs.
What is to be desired is a supply
of mountain water adequate for all
present and future needs. To get
this we must tap the great chain OF
Grand mesa lakes.
1t occurs to the Independent that
while Cedaredge, Eckert, Cory, Aus
tin and all of Surface Creek are
agitating a water supply service that

Delta might join them. There is no
question about the supply and many
hands make light work.
This would not mean that our
present Doughspoon line be aban-
doned. On the contrary. it should
remain in commission and the
source of it's supply be improved, If
possible. But acting with the towns
md people of Surface Creek as well
as with outlying districts of Delta.
A greater water system and a more
satisfactory one seems not only pos
sible, but within the grasp of water
users; for. not only the towns. but
the people of all these precincts
could be supplied. Water could be
made to flow into many farm houses
from the mains at convenient load
ing stations.
1t seems to us that it would be
practical for not only Delta. but out.
lying precincts which could be sup
piled, to join with Surface Creek
people in promoting one big, ade-
quate, glorious mountain water sys-
| ten.
There is one time to begin these
things right. The Independent may
not be able to point to the right
way, but it's suggestion is to find it.
Delta has been spending many thous-
ands of dollars each year to improve
her water system. with little or no
effect, and while she is by no means
as badly off as Grand Junction.
which city is now expanding about
half million dollars in an attempt
TO get a little water from Hannah
creek, an adequate supply of noun
tain water is still the most serious
thing we have to deal with. There
are satisfactory solutions to this
problem The idea is to solve one
of them Alright 1t isn't going to
cost us s5O,OOO,0OO or 100000
900, as it did Los Angeles, but the
md to be attained is worthy of any
reasonable outlay within our bounds.
