War News of the Week.

The war news summed up for the
week is but little different from
those of preceding weeks.
The struggle on the part OF Ger
many to advance its lines and the
blocking of such efforts has been
merely a repetition of last weeks pro-
gram and of the week before.
Severe winter weather is said to be
now retarding movements and put
ting a partial check to the fighting,
as we'll as greatly increasing the suf-
fering of the armies.
England has issued her new can for
a war loan of s1.250,000,000 and Is
recruiting her army. which already
numbers a million and quarter men
and costs in maintaining s5,0o0,0oo
per day.
Even under the stress of heavy ex-
penditure and enormous loss Of life
there seems no prospect Of an early
closing of hostilities.
In Mexico the field threatens to
clear up and peace be restored. but
the elements of uncertainty In that
revolutionary country are too great
TO hazard predictions.

New City Pipe Line Completed.

The city OF Delta receives the news
of the completion of its new pipe
line with much satisfaction.
At the city hall yesterday. lnde-
pendent was informed that the pipe
would probably all be connected up
and the water turned in tomorrow.
and that the contractors would get
away as early next week as possible.
This indicates that the troubles OF
this city in regard to pure mountain
water for domestic use. are or should
be over with. and that we will have
an abundant supply of such water for
all future time.
The securing of this water supply
can easily be regarded as the most
progressive as well as the most bene-
ficial step so far accomplished within
the history Of Delta.

Delta Highs Lose
Junction Champs

The football game played in this
city last Saturday, between the high
school teams of Delta and Grand juno
tion, was one of the strongest ever
played on the Western Slope.
Neither team had scored a defeat
through the season up to that day and
the feeling was intense. Every point
in the game was contested with the
combined strength of both teams and
the big crowd present shouted itself
hoarse.
A train load of rooters came up
from the Junction; many came from
Montrose and Olathe and spectators
nocked in from the outlying districts.
Business men in Delta closed their
stores and offices and the afternoon
was given to attending the famous
game
II is said that the Grand Junction
team, who had played and won from
Salt Lake City, gave Delta credit with
playing the strongest game in their
series of contests. Personally-per-
haps partisanly-it is believed here
that the score should have been made
. tie instead OF 6 to 0 in favor of
Grand Junction. Anyway our boys
did fine, and if they are not proud
OF themselves, the sport-loving spec
tators were proud of them and of their
playing.

Geo. Hider Dies
at GunniSOn

Mr.. George Hider, father Of George
in Gunnison. OF this old and re-
spected pioneer the News-Champion
has the following:
Mr.. Hider was a well known char
acter in Gunnison. He came in early
days and took up the ranch at the
junction OF Gunnison and Tomichi
creek, which was later purchased by
the Que Qua Camp. Mr.. Hider re-
tanned a life interest in the little
cabin and garden by the swirling wa
tiers, and purchased an annuity which
made his old age comfortable.
In his recent illness, since DR.. Han
son told him that the end was near.
many folks have been to see Mr.. Hi
der and he often said he was willing
to die to find out he had so many
friends. week ago. he begged to
be dressed and taken out door. There
he picked out his burial spot under
a clump OF willows on the edge OF the
stream. After the funeral at which
Judge Shakleford spoke feelingly OF
the viscissitudes and virtues OF the
old man, his body was taken to the
grave. in the little wagon hauled by
the old mules just as he had request
ed. And when the last clods were
laid upon his grave the faithful dog
remained to guard his resting place.
Geo. Hider had in these parts a
multitude OF friends who will regret
10 hear Of his passing away.

IRoNsToNE DITCH COMPANY
FAVORABLE TO UNlFICATlON

The Ironstone Ditch Stockholders,
through its board, at joint meeting
with the Water Users board and with
i. D. ODonnell, reclamation commits
sioner. made the following proposition
and passed the following resolutions
last Saturday at Olathe:
-'1-Resolyed, that we, the members
of the Ironstone Ditch company, and
the Ironstone Extension Ditch COM
pany, agree to retain our present wa
ter rights and decreed priorities to be
delivered to us at the average assess
mept Tor the past twenty years, to-
Wit: $4.S6 per share per annum-
"2-That we attach same TO four
teen acres per Ironstone share to be
selected by us and we will subscribe
for our additional irrigable land not
now subscribed by us. The fourteen
acres per share selected by us to be
released from subscription.
"3-The government to have privi-
lege of enlarging the ditch.
Provided, any one so desiring
may accept fourteen acre project right
per Ironstone share to date of open
ing.
Provided, also. any stockholder
may accept cash compensation at any
time on a basis to be agreed upon
with the government"
At the meeting of the Water Users
board held after the Ironstone meet
ing the proposition as submitted by
the Ironstone company was consider
ed at length and resolutions upon the
same were passed as follows:
Resolved that We reaffirm our con-
victions that all irrigable acres within
the project that can be profitably cul-
tivated should be retained or sub
scribed to the project.
Resolved further, that we favor the
plan for unification of the Ironstone
and Ironstone Extension Ditch COM
panies along the lines as expressed in
their resolutions passed at an ad-
journed meeting of the stockholders,
held November Il, 1914, at olathe,
Colorado.
Resolved further, that we prefer
acquiring said Ironstone and lronstone
Extension share of stock for cash
consideration il this can be done
Resolved. that we deem it of the
utmost importance that the Loutsen-
hizer ditch rights be acquired by the
and we favor plan that
would retain within the project all
irrigable lands within the area to be
irrigated, and believe the plan of re-
leasing forty acres for each second
foot of outstanding Loutsenhizer wa
ter rights to be undesirable from the
standpoint of operation and mainten-
ance and the many difficulties con-
stantly encountered in dividing the
water and apportioning the same. and
would strongly recommend or reen-
dorse our former views In regard to
the Loutsenhizer ditch and respect
fully urge the Secretary OF the In
teri to purchase said rights on the
basis OF $500 cash per second foot II
this can be DONE"
II is said Mr.. ODonnell was pleased
with the proposition, but that he will
submit with 1t to Secretary Lane n
cash settlement proclamation also.
The situation looks better to all.

College Chum'S
Banquet Friday

The college men and their friends
had good time at the banquet given
at l. o. o. F. hall. Friday night Of
last week.
There were 80 people seated at
table, served as follows: Bouillon,
waters, celery; salmon with white
sauce, salad; roast turkey au gravy,
cranberry jelly. mashed potatoes; ice
cream, assorted cake; Habanas,
coffin nails.
The Stine Song was sung with the
stine absent, it's only representative
being a tumbler partly filled with
coffee and cigar stumps, which was
passed in view of the guests up and
down the long tables.
A. C. McClanahan, NJ. D., University
of Chicago, acted as toastmaster and
did it so well that it would be strain
upon our reputation as word builder
to attempt him justice
Responses were as follows:
n. Bertrand, B. A, University OF
Louvain: "Fortissimi Sunt Belgae.'
John A. Curtice, C. E, "on the

Parker and Ricks, violin duet:
"Alahoe"-Hawaiian National Air.

MY Thrilling Experience Chasing
Trees: They Bark but Don't Bite"
I'D. oDonnell, Z. S. R. Son the
Water Wagon"
Interspersed with the program num-
bers were numerous responses to calls
from the chair upon different persons
present. who told good stories or gave
interesting talks appropriate to the
joyous occasion.
There was an axtra pathos in the
response of Rev. Bertrand because
of the recent destruction OF the IA
nous old University of Louvain, at
which he was a student.
There was really much merit to the
evenings entertainment, as well as
much enjoyment AS usual with such
affairs, it served the double pur-
nose of getting together a lot of
bright minds and of creating that
good feeling which goes so far toward
an increase of social and progressive
sentiment in a community, and the ex-
nrassion seemed unanimous that Delta
people should have opportunity to
more frequently get together.
There were quite number OF not
able guests from the outside, among
them being Attorney C. ]. Moynihan
of Montrose, DIR. Lewis of Hotchkiss,
Rev. Hunsicker of Eckert and others
whose names Independent neglected
10 enroll on memorys tablet or men,
orandum leaf.
At the close organization was sug-
gested and DIR. Cleland was by unani-
nous choice chosen President In
like manner Attorney Mortimer Stone
was elected to act as Secretary-Treas-
urer.
II would not be right to close this
report without an extra woru vi
praise for the Parker Orchestra,
whose splendid music did so much to
enliven the occasion; to Parker and
Ricks for their famous violin duet,
or to Mr. Ricks for his songs
Twas "a Feast Of reason and
Flow of Soul"

Experience in
Apple Marketing

Experience in anything is said to
be the best teacher.
1t cannot be said that wisdom in
marketing has come by leaps and
bounds to the orchard people, but that
they are making progress, there isn't
any question.
During the crush Of a flat market
three years ago, many growers in this
part of the slope we're left in debt for
their boxes. 1t was estimated that
the adverse market of that season
>entailed an Indebtedness of about
5000, 900 on the growers of this county.
Even then there were fortunate
ones who succeeded in getting rid of
their apples at normal prices and cor
responding profits by putting up a
superior pack and seeking direct
market for it.
The present year has been another
one of hustling for the best outlets
through which to market an immense
apple crop. and. profiting by the ex-
perience of the few three years ago,
many growers have sought their own
markets and report having succeeded
in placing many carloads of apples to
what they consider their advantage.
Another element has entered into
apple shipping and apple buying this
year. and. considering the scarcity of
market has made possible the dis
posal Of an enormous amount of fruit
the bulk carload shipments.
Many thousands of cars of apples
have been bought in the different
fruit sections. and while prices ruling
were not high-ten to fifteen dollars
a ton. it saved the expense of boxes
and packing. and these apples We're
usually paid for spot cash. thus avoid
ing all hazard of consigning and all
waiting for returns. and with less dis
elimination of sorting.
Another thing seems to have re-
suited from the bulk shipping. 1t
rushed off the normal grades, which
were QUICKLY lahtu up ny lie SidSs
of consumers who wanted family sup
plies at as low a price as possible,
and left the markets in better condi-
ton to handle the fancy boxed apples
at the higher prices which they must
always bring in order to give the
grower a prifit.
Much of the glamor of riches has
been taken from the orchards in the
past few years by heavy yields and
poor markets, and this is bound to
result in checking the growth of or
chard area and in more diversified
effort on the part of the farmer and
fruit grower. This will gradually re
suit in restoring demand and also in
growing better fruit. The orchard
man OF the future will have fewer
trees and better varieties, and he will
also make more money, for, instead
of devoting his entire time to fruit,
he will grow other profitable crops
and thus get better prices for all Of
them.

All the harvests of the season are
now about taken care of. There are
perhaps few acres of beets yet to
be taken out and a very few apples
left on scattering trees. There re-
mains many carloads of the seasons
crop to be shipped, and the markets
in all lines is strengthening to some
extent. This is perhaps more motto
able in the apple market than in any
other. Much of the bulk stuff has
disappeared from the markets and
boxed apples are said to be coming
