Delta Electric Light Plant
Passes Into New Hands

a $4,000 cash deal is one of the
business transactions at Delta, which
was closed in the evening of Decem-
ber 31st, 1912 and the money paid
over to Messrs j. E. Shue and d. E
Blodgett, for the Delta Electric Light
company's plant.
Carl ]. Sigfrid and E. A.Phinney OF
Ouray, were the purchasers. They
are owners of the Ouray plant.
The Grand Junction News stated
previously to the time the deal was
closed, that it had been closed and
the purchaser was the Utah Power
company. Other wise people predict
that the purchase of the Delta plant
will mean a consolidation of Western
Slope electric plants which may or
may not go into the big company.
]. E Shue remains as manager of
the plant at Delta, on salary, and the
purchasers say there will be no i'm

With A SILKEN CORD
She Once Sued a Physician For Say

Chicago, Oct. 6-Mystery still
shrouds the murder of Miss Ida G.
Leigson, an art student, who was
lured by a telephone call to the
prairie southwest of the city Satur-
day, and strangled with a silken corl.
Following her Identification, little has
been found to indicate a motive for
the crime.
Hurried investigation has shown
Miss Leigson lead an exemplary life,
had no men callers at any of the
places where she is known to have
resided, and she is not thought TO
have possessed any large amount of
money.
Miss Leigson was a graduate of the
University of Chicago, a sculpture
pupil of Larado, Texas, and a Still
dent at the art institute Her MUIR
der marked the end of long, pitiful
struggle to make her way as a sculp-
tor Her studies at the University CT
Chicago were to fit her for work by
which she could earn enough to COM
rlete her art education. For several
winters she taught school, returning
to the city to resume work at the art
institute.
Only few hours before she was
lured to her death, she answered an
advertisement for a domestic, saying
she had to have funds to enable her
to continue her studies, and was not
too proud to do kitchen work.
Late Saturday afternoon, man
who gave the name of Wilson, tele-
phoned the residence where Miss
Leigson lived, and asked her to tax .
position as nurse in a maternity
case. She was directed to go to
Seventy-first street and Western ave-
nue. and walk to an address four miles
west. The body was found three
miles west of the street intersection
in a clump of bushes. The address
to which she had been directed does
not exist.

OUTLINED THIS POLICY FOR

LETTER FROM WILSON

Every Mention CT Ultimate Independ-

Filipino POpulace.

Harrison, of New York, the newly ap-

ippines, arrived here today on board
the steamship Manchuria. He was
greeted on his arrival by a crowd of
several thousand people, many C.
whom had come from the provinces.
Traffic in the streets of the city was
brought to a standstill by the crowds
Several of the welcoming delegations
were accompanied by bands.
Governor General Harrison, on land
ing, drove from the pier by a round
about route to the luneta, where he de-
livered his inaugural address. This
address embodied instructions received
from President Wilson through Secre-
tary Garrison, stating broadly the adj
ministration' policy toward the phil
ippines.
The instructions declared that every
step would be taken with view to
the ultimate independence of the is
lands. Also it was announced thai
the first step to be taken at once, W..
be to give native citizens the majority
in the appointive commission and thus
in both branches of the Philippine leg.

and policy, / am in complete accord, :"
said Governor General Harrison.
within the scope of my Office, |
shall do my utmost to aid in the full
fillment of our promises and l am
confident we shall thereby hasten the
coming day of independence.
For ourselves, we confidently ex-
pect of you that dignity or bearing
and self-restraint which are the out
ward evidence of conscientiousness
81 remind you that we are at pres
ent responsible before the world for
your welfare and progress. Until your
independence is complete we shall de-
mand unremitting recognition of our
sovereignty.
You are on trial before an inter-
national tribunal, and we eagerly
await convincing proof that you are
capable of establishing a stable gov
ernment-not necessarily a reproduc-
ton of our institutions, but enc which
will guarantee complete security for
life, liberty and property.
81 call upon every good citizen, ma
tive and foreign, for assistance and
support. We place within your reach
the instruments of redemption. The
door of opportunity stands open and
the event under providence, is in your
hands.
Manuel Quezon, Filipino delegate to
congress, translated the inaugural ad-
dress. Every reference to independ-
ence was greeted with applause. Gov
ernor General and Mrs. Harrison then
held an informal reception and after
ward drove to the palace in the SUI
burb of Malacanan.
