Ouray, the Gem
of the Rockies

Independent editor made a short
business "trip to ouray the first of the
week. 1t was his first visit and he
was duly impressed with the beauty
OF that particular spot. After one has
seen much OF mountain scenery and
visited the greater part OF the Rocky
mountain range. he is apt TO believe
that he has seen all there is to view
in the way Of scenery. Until he has
seen Ouray, however, he has hardly
seen the best of it. With its great
hills, its box canon, its pretty water
falls. its hot springs and its world
famous mines, Ouray is in a class to
draw thouands of tourists yearly. as
well as a wealth of investment. As a
matter of fact, Ouray should not be
the quiet town it apears: it should be
enjoying perpetual boom; should be
the beacon light of the Rockies, luring
people and money from every point of
the worlds compass. without regard to
distance. Somebody is 10 blame.
Visiting the two newspaper offices,
their publishers were found busy men,
possessing busy shops, well equipped
for work. Bro. Griffin. at the Plain.

dustry and courtesy which is helping
to build for him permanent place in

who just came from Salida to buy the
Herald, has settled down TO work in
his usual energetic manner and is get.
ting out a remarkably clean and newsy
paper.
The business houses of Ouray, in
Guiding hotels, seemed prosperous and
the town happy and contented-possi-
bly, too we'll contented. One business
man said; There is lots of money in
Ouray. When the valley towns want
to borrow extra money they come to
Ouray."
The writer had the pleasure OF meet
ing very longtime acquaintance in
Mark NJ. Witherspoon, Ouray's jeweler
and board of education president, who
has now been for number of years
nicely established in that city.
The mining industries OF the camp
are looking well and promise tre-
mendous advance with the greater I'M
petus which the minirg revival now
setting in must supply.

SeatOn Takes
$1,000 Extra

Tom Seaton and his wife arrived in
Delta Monday evening from Philadel-
phia, where Tom was on the pitching
staff of the Philadelphia Nationals this
season, last Monday evening. and We're
greeted at the depot by number of
their old time friends and acquain-
tances who had followed the Delta
boys doings on the diamond from his
initial game with the fast ones" TO
the close of the season, and We're not
little proud of his record.
Tom pitched his final game
against the New York team in Phila-
delphia last Thursday. the score being
to 8. and this game was his twenty
fifth victory and brought him neat
thousand dollar bill in addition to his
salary. He had handled the sphere in
thirty-four games and won all but nine.
IL was a record but seldom accomplish
ed by any young pitcher in first seas
on's work with the biggest and best
ball players of the world and Tom is
certainly to be congratulated.
He is retained by the Philliies and will
doubtless make further showings of
speed next year. Tom is to do the
twirling for Paonia against Grand
Junction at the aviation meet in this
city this afternoon and the game prom
ises to be far the best ever seen on
n Delta diamond. The opposing slab
artist is also from professional ranks.
