convenience for the delegates. Those

special committee who will check
each parcel, giving duplicate check
to the owner, that is, those who de-
eide to do so.
All the special trains coming in
from the north, east and west have
been scheduled to stop at the Col.
lege Street Station, which it Just one
half block from the headquarters.
While those who come in from the
south will disembark at the regular
Union Station. But in each case
they will be met by members Of the
reception committee and directed to
reach the street cars. Big signs and
posters will be placed in various
portions of the city directing the
visitors and delegates to the real
headquarters, where they can obtain
such information as they want. In
addition to this, the headquarters
through its management, has decided

Mrs. Joy Regrets.

Mrs. Joy, who runs boarding house
in Dayton, Ohio. and who bought some
apples shipped from Delta to the flood
sufferers, continues to regret that she
was misunderstood in answering a
note placed in one of the boxes. She
has explained that she bought the ap-
Piles from the relief committee for 75e
box and merely thought the sender
would like to know what our fruit
brought for the cause.
Much was made out of the matter
here and elsewhere by it being taken
for granted that Mrs. Joy was one of
the flood sufferers and the papers pub.
fishing the story stated that she. as
flood sufferer, had been compelled
to buy stuff donated for their relife.
Independents letter OF inquiry was
the only thing which brought out the
facts and so far, we have not noted
that any of the newspapers that "foozl-
ed have taken the trouble to make
the matter right.

CITY COMMISSIONERS WORKING
TO IMPROVE DELTA
WATER WORKS SYSTEM

While the Surface creek proposition
will entail quite an investment in
building, it is urged in its favor that
it would supply a large territory
which is largely tributary to Delta,
with mountain water, and would in
that manner bring in a large revenue
With such line in effect, North Delta
could be supplied by the present line
which would be ready for them to tap,
and it is also cited that the building
of the Surface creek line would do
away with the necessity of about
$4,000 of improvements on the lower
end of the Doughspoon line, now con
templated
1t remains a fact that our water
system needs fixing" and all are
glad to see the interest shown. There
must, however, be no repetition of
past coarse work in any department
of the undertaking. Assure our people
of this and We believe they will ex-
claim: God speed the work"

SEARCHING FOR MRS. J. w.
SPRINGER ON WESTERN SLOPE

The efforts of Sheriff Schrader have
been enlisted in the search for the
four missing witnesses in the Henwood
murder case. now on in the Denver
courts, says the Grand Junction Sen
tinel Chief of these missing persons
is Mrs Isabelle Patterson Springer,
wife of Hon. John w. Springer. one
time candidate for governor and well
known as a financier in Denver. The
others are Cora Carpenter. the Sprin-
gers housekeeper; Thomas Lepper,
Henwood's chauffeur. and Mayme King
a chambermaid at the Brown Palace.
1t is said that District Attorney
]. A. Rush of Denver is sending these
subpoenas to every county in the state
in an effort to find Mrs. Springer of
the other wanted witnesses if possible
and if not to establish the fact that
they have left Colorado and possibly
to show that their departure was
abetted by the defense.
Sheriff Schrader does not anticipate
finding the missing woman here and
therefore his search will be more or
less perfunctory.
His return on the subpoena viii
probably be used as evidence at the
trial to show that the witnesses lett

found much enthusiasm regarding thai

that the present city commissioners
do not propose to act over hastily in
the matter of water Improvements, but
to consider each proposition upon its
merits Mayor Stewart has called his

when the same ceremony shall be per
