Present Contract
for Another Year

A spirited meeting of stockholders
of the Garnet Mesa Ditch and Reser-
vcir company was held in the district
court room last Saturday afternoon,
the vim of the meeting resulting
largely from the controversy and con-
test between factions as to giving con-
troll OF the canal over to the govern
ment this year.
The canal is one of the number to
accept the urification proposition and
many OF the stockholders were seem
ingly anxious to have the government
take control at once while others
we're equally desirous OF retaining the
present control and management
another year.
Both sides to the question were rep
resented by good takers and there
wns a full and thorough presentation
of issues involved. When vote was
taken It was clearly shown that those
in favor OF present control were
largely in the majority.

Audience Deli8ht-
ed With Opera

Delta was delighted with the Mont
rose companys presentation of that
early day. though popular comic opera
The Pirates of Penzance," in the
opera house last Friday evening, am
pie evidence of this fact resulting from
frequent and pronounced applause.
And another thing Delta did for Mont
rose and the forty or fifty members
of this company from that city was
10 show interest in their doings
enough to occupy every available seat
in the opera house that night-some-
thing that was never done by Mont
rose when Delta talent was on the
boards in that city.
Professor Shellhorn was in charge
of the company and had exercised
great care and exceptional judgment
in making the cast. For instance Bill
Hanes, the former editor and manager
of the Olathe Criterion, was named
TO take the part of Richard the Pirate
chief, and it can be truthfully said
that Mr.. Hanes was an artist in
this role. Glen Cory, his lieutenant,
was also clever. A A. Wallace the
Pirate apprentice handled one of the
important parts to the entire salts
faction of the audience as did also
Herman Elliott in his Interpretation
of the major general.
Mrs. A. r. McCrimmon as General
Stanley's youngest daughter, was with
out question, the star of the perform
auce, and her soprano solos were #
mch quality as to win the hearty APP
proval of all present. Rose, the pira-
deal maid of all work, by Mrs. Ruth
Sweet, was well presented and the
chorases and drills were presented in
such manner as to clearly show the
ability and effort of its very able
director. Prof Nigro's orchestra fur
nished excellent music for the occa-
sion.

COURSE WEDNESDAY NIGHT

The last number of the High

at the Methodist church Wednesday
evening, when for nearly two hours
Mr. John Chambers entertained a
packed house with a pleasing rendi-
tion Of David Warfield's masterpiece.
"A Grand Army Man" During the
course of the entertainment Mr.
Chambers impersonated nine differ
ent characters in such a clever man
ner that one could not fail to recog-
nize each character. His facial ex-
pressions and delivery were remarkab-

Delta Parties Own
Good Copper,Vein

Ed Springer and two or three other
residents of this city own and are
developing a copper property in the
Escalante canon some twenty-six or
twenty eight miles west of Delta which
they now feel thoroughly convinced
will eventually bring them good re-
turns. Considerable work has already
been done and there is a large body
of good ore in sight.
Mr.. Springer came in from the camp
last Friday evening after looking
over the situation a week or ten DAYS
and arranging for some new work as
soon as weather conditions will per-
nit While there last week he stalk
ed two more claims and Il is also pro-
posed to do some work on these prop
critics.
Before starting for home last Friday
Mr. Springer stated that he stopped
a few moments at the Rio Grande sec
tion house midway between this city
and Grand Junction and that the lady
in charge there described a negro who
took dinner with the section men
last Tuesday and he was absolutely
certain from that description that the
negro was Brown. the Jail breaker
from Delta. The negro had come there
afoot and was both tired and hun
cry. After eating a hearty meal he
proceeded on his journey westward
though he had stated that he was not
going to Grand Junction.

In the district court Monday the
case of James Zaninetti VS.. Den Wag-
oner was heard and verdict rendered
for the defendant, Wagner.
The case came up on charge that
Wagner, who was elected water COM
missioner at the last election, was not
q freeholder and therefore not eligible
to hold office under Sec. % of the city
charter which reads: mo person
shall be. eligible to the office of COM
missioner unless he be qualified
elector and has been a freeholder of
the city of Delta, Colorado, for at
least two years previous to such cleo
ton"
After hearing the evidence the court
decided Wagner to be a freeholder
and entitled to retain his office
Wagoner's counsel made it apparent
by the evidence introduced that his
client was one of the pioneer resi-
dents of Delta, that he at one time
owned the lots where the twon built n
hall for its own uses and that the
title was vested in him even long af
ter being sold by Wagner to the town
for the purchaser was poor and could
not pay on demand Payments were
all finally made. however, and Delta
gained its title.
1t was also shown that Wagner
had instructed his wife to buy the lots
on lower Eaton avenue where he and
his wife now live, that he furnished
the money for their purchase and had
her place the title in herself. Later
he bought a farm in this county at
sheriffs sale upon which he made
neat little sum when gaining pur-
chaser and with this money the pres
ent substantial home was built. His
equities were never questioned.

eral interest and importance to occupy

Two Orchard In
SpectOrS for Delta

The board of county commission
ers has just made two horticultural
districts of Delta county, instead of
one as heretofore, and there will he
two orchard inspectors on full time in
the future. This action was taken
following the solicitations of a com
mittee of representative orchardists
and tax payers who called upon the
board on Wednesday and urged the
necessity for better service.
The board has had the matter in
mind for some time past and it was
therefore no difficult matter for the
committee to gain the point desired.
Heretofore one inspector has been in
charge OF all work in the county and
this inspector at times would be per-
mitted to employ assistants, but it
was always apparent that the WORK
could not be given the attention neccs-
sary. No one man could look after
all orchards of the county and it was
impossible to get competent help
when wanted.
One OF the new districts will COM
prise commissioners district No. l
and 9. for which II. f. Richardson of
this city has been appointed inspect
or, and the other commissioners dist
rict No. s. with L, T. Ernst as In
spector. Both men are known to be
competent in this work and Delta
county is now assured of good orchard
inspection.
