Valley Fruit Crop
Disappointing

While more than 1000 cars of fruit
have been shipped from the Grand
valley this season. it has been the
poorest crop, acreage considered, in
the history of the valley, according to
Manager James NJ. SilcoX of the
Grand Junction Fruit Growers asso-
citation He states that not to exceed
twenty-five cars of apples remain in
the valley to be sold.
The average amount of apples on
hand here at this time of year is
400 cars. which is the least since
1898, when a winter freeze reduced
the crop to eighty-five cars. The val
ley has never experienced a total
failure, the eighty-five cars being the
lowest in twenty years.
Silcox says that prices this year
have averaged better than had been
anticipated in mid-season, when the
slump came, and that most of the
growers will make out pretty well
Under the present acreage, an un-
damaged crop should yield 5000 to
10000 cars in the valley.

Bad Weather the
Last Few Days

The long dry season on the Western
Slope was broken the first of the
present week, when rains. not heavy
but sufficient to lay the dust and give
the ground good wetting, came one
or more with each twenty-four hours.
The roads had become rutty and
deep with dust. owing to the heavy
hauling incident to the harvesting and
marketing of crops. Wednesday there
was n change OF temperature to cooler
and little snow, which melted as it
fell. At the same time there was re-
ported from one to two feet of snow
at Ouray and generally over the San
Juan mountainous districts. Snow al
SO appeared on Grand mesa and heavy
falls were reported in all of the noun
tain range sections in the state.

The Grim Reaper
For Past Week

At I o'clock on Thursday evening,
November 4, occurred the death OF
Mrs. Mary Hunt. one of the old-time
and most highly respected residents
of the city. The report of her death
that evening came as most complete
shock to Delta people for while it was
known TO many that she had been III
for several days yet none had thought
of her condition as being at all ser
ious. She and her daughter Charline
were planning a trip to California
where they expected to remain all
winter and they were to leave here
on or about the first of this month.
Then Mrs. Hunt was taken i'll and II
was thought she would soon be up and
about as usual and they could make
the start on the 10th. Her ailments
were from the heart and kidneys. how
ever, and the battle of physicians
against these dreaded maladies while
persistent and skillful failed of the
purpose and the end came as above
stated.
Mrs. Hunt was born at Alden, Nc
Henry county. Illinois, March %. 1860,
and was therefore % years of age at
the time of her demise. Her parents
moved to Harvard, Illinois, where she
lived until welded to Mr.. Franklin p.
Hunt in 1878. and during January Of
that year she and ncr husband moved
to White. South Dakota In the fail Of
1894 they moved to Delta for the bene-
nt Of Mrs. Hunts health and she has
been a resident OF the city continu-
ously ever since.
She leaves To mourn her sudden
demise two daughters, Mrs. c. b. I'll
liott and Miss Charline Hunt. and one
son Ray Hunt. all residents Of this
city. Funeral services were held at
the home on Garnet mesa at 2 30 sun
day afternoon. Rev. Cramps, pastor Of
the Presbyterian church. officiating.
and interment was In Delta cemetery.
There were many beautiful floral of
ferings as tokens OF regard by friends
and large attendance at both the
funeral service and burial.

Large Yield from
Z Acres Onions

, Just think OF it. Over two Z
D thousand sacks of fine onions Z
. were harvested from seven acres
. of ground on the T.. II. Dodge
, place on California mesa this
, season and were sold for some
, thing like $1,000 or s27O0. Apples :
and peaches bring the grower 4
, good money when the crop and
B prices are right but they never
. get ahead OF this record.
. This seven acre patch of on
. ions was grown by Hershal
. Erickson. one OF the best farmers
, and gardeners of the district,
, and he is thus increasing his
, yearly income in a very substan-
tail manner. Two Japanse onion
, growers of this section have also
, harvested big crops and sold for
top prices. The onion certainly
; has it's strength this year.

Republicans Gain
In Last Election

Republican gains in the states hold
ing elections the first of this month
were expected and the reports are not
disappointing.
Gains in the eastern states were
satisfactory and kentucky elected a
Republican governor.
The old argument will be used that
ii is an off year election, but it is not
the general opinion that that argu-
ment will hold good.
Republicans in touch with the ma
tional situation say that victory will
be sure next year: that all you have
TO do is to name the candidate; that
be will be elected, regardless of who
he may be.
