THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.

Charleston, May 4, 1916.
The Delta independent., 1916-10-20
Brief Address by
Geo. A. Carlson

Unable to make this part of his
itinerary by auto as contemplated, in
passing from Grand Junction to Mont
rose Tuesday. the Governor made a
brief talk to those assembled at the
train.
The verdict was that he said a
great deal in those brief few minutes,
and that is usually true of Gov. Carl
son, who can say more in the same
length of time than any man on the
stump this fall. He is full of his
subject,full of zeal for country and
speech and clearness of expression
not often equalled in any other
speaker.
And with it all, Carlson is going to
be reelected. There are those in the
Republican ranks who will not vote
for him because of his pronounced
temperance views, but, on the other
hand there will no doubt be Demo-
Gratis and many of them, in the state,
who will vote for him because of that
same, dependable characteristic.
Hence. We say, the Governor will be
reelected, and, judging by what he
overcame before, he will again have a
big majority.

Willie Frank Meets Death in
LeadVille Tunnel TUESDAY,

Mrs. Anton Frank received on We'd
nesday the terrible announcement that
her step-son Willie, had been instantly
killed in a mine accident at Leadville
the day previous. She and her daugh-
ter, Georgia, left at once for the scene
ana were Joined at Grand Junction by
another daughter. Francis, from which
place they proceeded on their sad mis-
sion.
Particulars of the tragedy were not
obtaina BILE, but it was a case similar, to
hundreds of other mine accidents, the
details of which will probably never
be- known. 1t is enough to know that
the life was so young and full of
promise. when Death unannounced cut
short its progress.
Willie Franks was reared in Delta
and was at the time of his demise 19
years, 10 months and % days of age.
1t is expected that the body will be
taken to Del Norte, Colorado, for inter
ment beside those of his father and
mother.
The Leadville Herald Democrat has
the following to say in connection
with the painful accident:

employed seven nights. George Trean-
or and otto Smith, tramming past the
chute discovered the young miners
feet protruding from the end of the
chute, and extricating him, found that
young Frank had been suffocated while
on duty.
There were no eye witnesses of the
fatal accident. 1t was supposed that
Frank. finding the ore blocked in the
chute, had thrust his head and shoul-
ders into the passageway to loosen
the ore and had been caught by the
ore coming down unexpectedly from
above. His body was unmarked, in
dicating that his death was due to
suffocation.
The Yak notified Coroner OMAHA
of the accident as soon as it was evil
dent that resuscitation was impos-
sible.
Young Frank, who went to work at
the Yak only seven nights ago, roomed
with Otto Smith over the Carbonate
National bank. He is survived by one
brother and four sisters. They are

on Sunday. October Sth. 1916. the
spirit of Mrs. Antoinette Hazlett Por-
ter, beloved mother Of Mrs. l.. A. Dowd
of this city. took it's flight to God who
gave il. following brief illness of
but two weeks. All that loving hands
and hearts could do. was done TO re-
lleve the sufferer. but to no avail.
There were four children surviving
the decentralization A. Porter. of
Guthrie Center, Iowa, John r. Porter
and. Mrs. A. w. Miller. of Omaha. who
were here when the final summons
came. and Mrs. l.. A. Dowd. at whose
home she became Ill.
Funeral services were held at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Dowd, con-
Quoted by Rev. ]. II. -0ramps. OF the
Presbyterian church. and the body
was taken to the old family home at
Guthrie Center Iowa, and laid tender
ly to rest in the family burial lot.

the late Mrs. Emma Tuffin who pre-
ceded her few months ago.

extended to the sorrowing ones.

while it is rumored that these ladies
are conducting mighty Hughes cam
paign, the movement being financed
by Republican interests in the east.
the ladies state positively that they
are working solely for the interest of
woman's suffrage in other localities
and that by voluntary contributions
where lectures are given, are the
necessary expenses met.
She said in part: I'VE came to the
west to appeal, and no to dictate. We
come to the west asking the women
with political power to aid their east
ern sisters in amending the constitu-
ton of he United States, and thus
place all the women of the nation in
their powerful position. Eastern wo-
men have aided the Western women
in every possible way in securing
for themselves suffrage, and now they
come to the west asking the women
of this community to stand together
putting suffrage for women above all
other issues.
Mrs. Mackaye is n brilliant speaker
with a world of force that carries
conviction with every word she utters.
She has been for ten years on the
national suffrage platform. She is
devoting her time and efforts to this
campaign without any compensation
whatever, she states.

Another Bud of
Youth Plucked

The community was shocked last
Saturday to learn that John Frady
had succumbed to an attack of hemor-

was peculiar case and it seemed
no skill could cope with the rapid ad-
vances of the disease.
John Ralph Frady was born May
6. 1885, and was therefore. but few
months past twenty years of age. He
had wide circle of friends who deep
ly deplore his loss.
Funeral services occurred at the
home of his mother, Mrs. Rebecca
Frady. Sunday afternoon, Rev. Parry,
pastor of the First Baptist church

Just Think
This Over

Did 1t ever occur to you when you
complain that there is nothing in the
paper" what II means?
1t means that there is less of law
breaking, less of drunkenness, less of
village scandal, less of death, and
less of heartbreak.
1t means that there has been lit
tie or nothing with which to feed the
morbid curiosity of those who love
scandal, less of sorrow in homes
where death might have entered. and
less of frightful accidents which af-
ter all might have come to you-to me.
So when news seems scarce, re-
member that after all someone, and
many someone's are happier because
of these things.

Concerning Use
of Late Rainfall

A few figures concerning the rain
that fell in Delta from October until
October IS, 1916.
l have been asked a number of
times the amount of rainfall that we
have had here and have given the
record for the time above as 2.5S
inches. To the most of us we have
no conception of how much that
means. Being interested in figures
here are a few to give you some idea
of what that much rain means.
On each square foot of ground that
is 500 cubic inches, on each rod
square 435 gallons or $3.50 pounds of
water. On each acre 556,S00 pounds
or 27S tons per acre. To haul out
ten tons of water per day it would
take over 81 days to haul enough for
an acre. On quarter section of land
there fell 44,4S0 tons of water. Think
of it and then remember the following
The average rainfall for % years in
Delta was 7.9S inches which is 81
times as much as fell during this
period.
On a quarter section of land there
falls at this rate 133,440 tons or
enough to fill 100 trains of cars of
25 cars each and each car carrying
0u lOHS- EHOuSn 10 lHluh Oh along
that line but now; How many farmers
in the vicinity of Delta spend a good
many days each month and each year
hauling water for domestic purposes.
1t costs each one a good many Gays
as well as good many dollars. Let
us figure a little and see if there
could not be a good deal saved. Sup+
pose a farmer constructed a good els
tarn and fhan hni1f unnl
if you please a roof of galvanized iron.
it would not rust and this roof was of
the modest proportion of 20X40 feet.
From such a roof he would catch on
an average during the year of 124 bar
rels of water, an item that would
save many load from town. If he
needed more water than this he could
enlarge his roof correspondingly. The
above may be of some interest to
those who have so much water to
haul. E. NJ. GETTS.
