fair. but the market was unevenly
lower than the week before. Prices at
the close of the week were 25c to 40c
per hundredweight lower on beef cat
tie, while stockers and feeders we're
sold at just about steady prices. To-
day prices we're 10c to 15c lower, in
sympathy with big declines east. East
ern markets are sharply lower than
than two weeks ago and the decline
here is a result of the lower mar
kets at other points. Good dry-lot
beef steers are quoted at $3.50 to 1925
and pretty fair grass steers are sell
ing from 81 to $3.50, while extra good
grassers brought up to $3.50 today,
and one choice grass steer sold at
$u.25 to s6.75, and fair COWS from $3.50
to s6.25 Bulls are bringing $4.75 to
$3.50, and veal calves are selling from
$3.50 to $40. Good stock steers in
fair demand, but the market a little
quiet. Best grades are selling around
$6.25 to $3.50 and fair steers from
$3.50 to s6.25.
The hog market is somewhat lower
than last week, but everything offered
is meeting with very good demand.
Good hogs are now selling here around
$9.15 to 1885.
The sheep supply was quite liberal
of late and the market active. Prices
are steady, with good fat ewes quoted
from $3.50 to 81, wethers around s7.25
to sS.25, and good lambs are selling
from SO to s10.40. The demand is
good

Fred King Grabs
Wyoming Honors

Fred King came home from Casper,
Wyoming, Sunday, after having shot
rings around the crack shots gathered
20 contest for that states champion
ship. In the first shoot he broke 10
straight and in the next broke 1879
out of the 200.
With the two last scores perfect
ones to his credit, Colorado's and Del
ta's champion shot will hardly fail to
give a good account of himself at the
approaching national tournament.
where his friends confidently believe
he will become the national champion
and perhaps new record.
In the state tournament at Casper.
while Mr.. King was first. being from
without the state of Wyoming, of
course he could not carry away the
cup, but other prizes made him ex-
pense money for the trip and he en-
joyed the practi ,e. and the feathers. of
which his cap is getting moderately
full.

Autoists May Now Enjoy
Trip to Grand Mesa Lakes

TO make a suggestion; two or three of
them: Heretofore the government
has been taking the spawn from these
lakes. which was divided in stocking
different water. The Resort Com
pany should hatch all the spawn and
nurse 1t for the lakes themselves.
There are plenty of marsh spots, pools
and brooks where natural nursing
grounds would almost provide them
selves, and in which the FRY" could
be cared for until large enough to
live in the lakes. or even protect them
selves against the larger fish. Only
by intensive stocking can the lakes be
kept full of fish after. the lake has
become accessible to automobile fish
ing parties In the Yellowstone Park,
the most visited part of the nation.
the streams are kept so full of trout
that all may ketch as many as they
please. but it is only accomplished by
replenishing them constantly.

capital invested.

U. S. Mobilization Camp,
Golden, Colo, July 14th, 1916

GOlQen, COlO., July l4tn, 1910.
Editor Independent:
Through your columns l wish to
convey information to the parents,
relatives and friends of the Delta
County boys in my command, that
the boys are all we'll, in good health,
well satisfied and are rapidly making
good soldiers.
Since our arrival in Camp we have
necessarily been at work drilling,
teaching the great game of war in it's
several details.
When we reached camp we had but
80 men and were ten short of the re-
quired number. The Denver recruit
ing office gave me number of new
men to fill my ranks; but nine were
rejected on the physical examination.
Other recruits came in, and on July
3rd, at 8 o'clock in the afternoon, we
we're mustered into the Federal SER
vice with 67 men and three officers
The delay in mastering caused me
to lose our original company designa-
ton, and we had to go into the End
battalion, insead of the 1st- We are
now officially known to the war de-
partment as Company E, End, Separa-
te Battalion of Infantry. United States
National Guard of Colorado" We
now have 20 men and three officers.
The company was extremely fortunate
in the assignment of 2nd Lieutenant
Robert F. Lamberton of Denver. He
is an experienced soldier and was a
practicing physician in Denver, so that
his value to the company can hardly
be estimated, fore he is well qualified
to give medical aid in case of emer-
tgency.
1t is with pride that l am able to
state that no member of my command
has ever been put under arrest or con-
fined to quarters for any infraction of
military law. From my close observa.
ton of all. feel that can truthfully
say. there is not a rowdy in the entire
company. / am proud of them all
their prompt attention to duty. quality
of drill and appearance, at battalion
drill this morning, won especial praise

1t Is Up to You to
Make a Success

There are some who make business,
farming. stockraising. and nearly
everything they undertake a success
There may be others who make a cor
responding number of failures, but
that is nothing against the country.
The same condition is to be found in
every section of the world.
Success brings money, influence and
contentment. Failure creates discon-
tent
1t should be the effort of all to be
successful in whatever they undertake.
e it great or small Act well your
part. there all the honor lies"
The governors story about the two
frogs which the milkman dipped up
and put in his milk, was good one.
One frog Immediately became des-
pondent, said he would drown anyway,
and turned up his toes and died. The
other frog thrashed around in an eff
fort to live until he churned ball OF
butter. on which he climbed and when
the can was opened he was sitting
there singing: "A Life on the Ocean
Wave" Those two frogs find their
counterpart among a good many peo-
pie. Some give up while others hustle,
and the fellow who can churn butter
out of skinned milk is the best eS-
ample of a hustler.

Grand junction
Follow Denver

Grand Junction will not vote on the
question Of recalling the present city
commissioners, says the Sentinel, and
changing the present form of city gov
ernment this fall
Last night, at a meeting attended
by nearly forty citizens, including a
number of heavy taxpayers. the mat
ter was discussed at great length, all
phases of the conditions of the city
government were discussed, and it
was decided that, in view of the fact
that a strenuous county, state and
national campaign is just ahead, it
would be unwise for a number of reas-
ons to postpone the city campaign un-
til later on.
The meeting determined, therefore.
to delay action until January or Feb
ruary of next year. and n is announced
that at that time a special election
will be called for the purpose of plac-
ing before the voters the questions of
changing the form. of government OF
Grand Junction to a mayor form such
as now exists in the city of Denver or
to a city manager form such as now
exists in many cities of America.
1t was declared last night by many
who spoke at the meeting that this
movement is not a personal fight on
any one of the commissioners; that
personalities are not entering into the
movement. but that the belief that the
present form of government is not de-
livering the goods is the prime reason
and motive for the movement.
''It is contended that the commits
sioners should be giving the people
more results for their money than they
are giving" declared one of the men
who was at the meeting last night.
"Grand Junction, by actual count has
34s vacant houses today. We believe
something should be done to fill these
houses, by judiciousIy advertising the
advantages Of the city and the valley.
and by the employment Of other meth.
DDS Of development"
II is said that it is desired to have
the people pass on the matter of max
ing change in the form of govern
ment when there are no other issues
or campaigns to detract their attention
hence, the delay until the first of the
year, The meeting last night was the
last of series of half dozen or
more meetings held in the last six
weeks

numerous other projects of more or
less acreage. marks vast difference

And this still further development
will continue AS with the erection OF
tho big sugar refinery next year and
other industries that will follow. Delta
will more than likely be the centering
point for one of the most profitable
points that the Rio Grande has or
ever will have In this section.
And still this company's attention
should be drawn toward the fact that
Delta has the poorest excuse for n
