Baker Bros. viii Move.

Their trade having outgrown
the store room which they now
occupy, Baker Bros. have secured
long lease on the large store
room on Main street owned by
John Shelton, and will move their
stock into same as soon as some
necessary repairs can be made.
Baker Bros. are one of the old
established firms of Holly, having
been located here for a number
OF years, and by their fair and
courteous treatment have built
up a large trade. That this trade
is constantly increasing is shown
by having to move to larger quar-
ters.
Just when the removal will be
made, it is impossible to say at
present, but this move will be
made as soon as possible. The
new room is a large one, we'll
lighted etc., and will make them
a fine store.

Last night at the Armory the
second annual ball of the local
members of the La Junta lodge
B. P. o. E. was given, and the
house was filled to capacity, over
200 tickets having been sold to
the affair.
The music was furnished by an
orchestra of seven pieces and
was as fine as was ever heard in
this town; the hall was beauti-
fully decorated in the Elk S color,
purple, and the various COMMITTEES
saw to it that no stone had been
left unturned to make this event
one long to be remembered.
From the time the grand march
opened the ball until the wee
small hours of the morning the
large crowd made merry and it
was one continual round of
pleasure. Everyone entered into
the spirit of the occasion with a
vim and joy was unconfned.
Hats off to the B. P. O. E.
May their numbers never grow
less, is the wish of the Chieftain.
The money raised from the sale
of tickets will be used for char
ity purposes in the neighborhood,

whose main object IS to help their

The apprehension of serious dam
ages likely to result in the valleys OF
the Gunnison and Uncompahgre rivers
felt last Sunday, were allayed, tenn
porarily at least, by lowering of tenn
perature Sunday night and cooler days
through this week.
The Gunnison had flooded all its
channels and was seeking egress here
and there into the bottoms. Since the
change in temperature it has been at
standstill or slightly lowered, and, in
the meantime much surplus water has
passed down.
The amount of water yet to be NOV
ed is great, as the snow fall over all
the watersheds has been considerably
above normal, and the early flood
stage last week was largely the melt
ing of new snow which had fallen the
week before to depth of from one to
four feet in the mountains.
The general indications are for mod
erately cool weather through most Of

AmnonS Likely

Denver, May 1O.-The attempt on
the part OF some of the members of
the legislature to have Governor Am
mons reconvene the assembly in extra
ordinary session to consider matters
not listed in the original call will with
out doubt fail Governor Ammons is
of the opinion that hs original call
covered everything necessary, name
ly the payment of the troops, the anti
gun-carrying law. the liquor bill and
the compulsory arbitration constitu-
ton amendment. together with ths
state constabulary.
The gun bill will be killed, the
lstate constabulary has already been
killed, and in killing that the govern
or feels the legislature paid a compli-
ment TO the efficiency OF the state mi

| is considered a better means of de
fense for the support of law and order
than the constabulary.
The governor takes this position,
that if any members of the legislature
can draft proposed law and convince
him that il will remedy the situation,
and can show him signatures OF the
members of the legislature to a peti-
tion to the effect that they will enact
the law without delay, he might recon

Cooler Weather Puts Check
To Floods in River Valleys

May, the first OF June being the rega-
lation period when we expect hot sum-
mer weather to begin. But, as the
storm period seems TO have passed, a
change to heated days might come at
any time.
A gradual change will relieve the
valleys of flood dangers and even now
there is a much safer feeling among
those who inhabit them.
The current of the Gunnison has, in
the recent high water, been striking
the main pier OF the bridge between
Delta and North Delta with tremend-
Gus force, but so far that strong con-
crete structure has stood the strain
This is probably the only bridge Oh
this stretch of the river that has been
or will be in any danger
1t is hardly probable that either the
Gunnison or Uncompahgre have seen
their highest water yet for this spring,
though this will depend largely on the
temperature for the balance of May.

Mothers Day

This is a day that has been set
aside almost universally throughout
the nation, as a day for the renewing
of memories and associations of the
mother. The second Sunday in May
is the day and the carnation is tbs
flower worn-pink if mother is living,
and white if che has passed on.
Many and varied are the days set
apart for the observance of certain
occasions in history, but the day that
means most to the man and woman
grown to mature manhood and woman
hood is Mothers day.
Throughout the land in every city
and hamlet some church observed
this day with special services. sermons
and music pertaining to the memory
OF the mothers from the present bach
TO the day of Eunice in ancient times
A fitting service in Delta was that
held at the Baptist church, and as
has been the custom for severa
wears. the Young Mems class distrib
uted carnations 10 every mother in the
house.
DR.. Crawford preached the sermon
and held his audience with rapt in

sermon was replete with good things
