Cedared8e Man
on Marketin8

C. A. Connell, of Cedaredge, was in
Delta Tuesday and remembered Inde-
pendent with call Mr.. Connell was
one of the number of Delta county
fruit men and farmers who tried sell
ing fruit direct to the consumers in
other states this year. He reports
good sales, as a rule. having obtained
about as much for apples. on an aver
age in Texas per bushel bulk as most
of the box product brought growers,
MIR. Connell talks in an interesting
manner OF a state law in Texas which
permits car shipments in that state
from station to station by the pay
ment of five dollars switch charges to
the railroad company. Because other
states have not the same law, in order
to take advantage OF il cars must be
rebilled in Texas. This they did with
one car. and. after paying S51 dollars
extra for that purpose. succeeded in
getting much more than the outlay
back in advantageous sales. He cites
that, wheareas full carload OF apples
cannot be sold in certain of the small
Ter towns. IL the car can be halted
in transit. me-third to one-half of its
contents can be disposed of speedily
and to good advantage, and thinks
some plan should be acted upon by
growers to bring before the interstate
commissioners the advantage 1t would
prove to growers to have laws like
the one in Texas adopted in all of the
states.

Death of Mrs.
Ferris at Denver

Mrs. Lulu Ferris, wife of Rev. Fer
ris. of Denver, died in that city Tues
day morning of this week. Her body
arrived in Delta yesterday and was
taken to Cedaredge for burial. The
funeral will be at the Methodist
church. Cedaredge. this afternoon.
Mrs Ferries was formerly Miss Lulu
Gipe. of Cedaredge. She was married
to Rev Ferris in that place less than
two years ago and a baby was born to
them in Denver little less than a
month ago and the young mother
could not rally from the shock of
child birth. Independent understands
that a sister of Rev. Ferris will come
from the East to take charge of the
orphaned little one. The case is one
of the saddest bereavements in the
history of our county. The young
wife was all that could be dear and
lovable TO her husband. family and
friends. They have the earnest SYM
pathy of all.

In Memory of Edwin cIaybaush.

III VI G0Whi SIdyodu9Hs
The taking away of Edwin Clay
baugh, in early December, was not
only a shock to his host of friends in
Delta county. but was intensely felt
among his college friends at Colorado
Springs.
Following the announcement of his
death The Colorado Springs Gazette
said:
The news of Claybaughs death
shocked the college and everybody
who knew the man. Claybaugh was
an athlete, was in the sport for the
sports sake. No news has stunned
athletic circles in Colorado Springs
for many years as the word of Clay
baugh's death"
The following letters, one from
Roger H. Molten. Professor of Eng
lish at Colorado College, and the
other from the Sigma Chi fraternity.
are cherished mementos of the friend
ship felt for their son, and which are
now in possession of DR.. Claybaugh:
My dear DR.. Claybaugh:
In accordance with the wish of the
boys of the Sigma Chi l am writing
to you to express our deep sympathy
for you in the loss of your son and
our brother.
His ability to do was great and his
willingness to do whatever he could
for the school. his fraternity. and his
friends was even greater.
His sympathy and thoughtfulness
had gained him many friends and he
was greatly respected and loved by
all of us. We had entertained hopes
of his return when we heard that his
condition was much better aud it is
indeed hard to realize that he has
gone. Please extend to his mother
and sister our sympathy in their great
sorrow Very Sincerely Yours.
CHARLES F. EMERY"
My Dear Mr. and Mrs Claybaugh:
Words cannot express to you the
grief we feel in the loss of Edwin.
The message came as a great sur
prise and shock and I was COM
PEELED to dismiss the class which was
meeting at the time. 1t was the
same class that Edwin was in last
year and i shall never forget the
pleasure of having him in class He
was always bright and cheerful and
his good nature pervaded the whole
ROOM There are some students who
always bring sunshine to a room and
he was one of them.
Edwin's life was short, but he full
filled a wonderful mission and left us
great heritage-an example of cour-
age, bravery and cheerfulness. Sure
ly he has heard the greeting. We'll
done" His loss is very personal to
me but am glad to have had his
friendship and to have known him.
With deepest sympathy to you and
Miss Esther, am. Most Cordially
Yours, ROGER H. MOTTEN."
