a marvellous escape from being crush

pound concrete sennis court roller and
in some manner fell over the disc, the
roller passing over his entire body.
Strangely enough there were no
bones broken and no internal injuries
have so far resulted. and Van was up
and able to walk around, when inquiry
was made Wednesday. His escape is
regarded as almost miracle and can
not be explained. He and his parents
are to be congratulated.

Work Should Be
Started at Once

1t would be very fine If the sugar
company would start some work on its
Delta factory.
There may be ample time to build
the factory next year, but the argument
for earlier construction is very strong.
AS soon as work is started, it will
help Delta and the surrounding coun-
try. 1t will also advance the interests
of the factory by giving con
fidence to growers, an increased num-
Der of whom would begin at once to
lay plans to produce beets in greatly
increased number of acres.
Many people are passing through and
a part of them stop off to look at the
country. Could these see actual work
going on in the construction of a
sugar factory it would help to interest
them locally
Thus, in every way. work in pro-
gress on the sugar factory at Delta
would serve to benefit the company,
particularly in its future supply of
sugar beets, and would also materially
advance the city and surrounding
country.
This is an appeal to the factory peo-
pie direct, which Independent hopes
will meet favorable consideration.

Wedding Creates
Social Circle Stir

One of the swellest weddings ever
pulled off in Delta took place at st.
Luke's church yesterday, at high noon.
At the hour mentioned Miss Irma
Singleton, of this city, was wed to Mr..
F. L. Orvis. of Ridgway.
The Right Reverend Bishop Brews-
ter of this diocese, was here per-
form the ceremony and he was assist
ed by Rev. F. NJ. Bacon, pastor of st.
Luke's. the regular Episcopal marriage
service being read.
The church was beautifully decorat
ed for the occasion by the Ladies'
Guild, the hangings being all in white,
with tasty floral additions.
Before the ceremony Miss Jane Kill
lian and Mrs. Will Marshall sang the
Perfect Day" Mr. d. NJ Kicks favor
ed with violin obligato. Mrs Walter
Hillman presided at the organ. The
bridal couple marched to the altar un-
der strains of the wedding march.
Miss Edna Orvis, sister of the
groom, was maid of honor Misses
Dora Singleton and Marjorie Miller
were bridesmaids and Mr.. Earl Wilson
best man.
Though no formal announcement of
the wedding was made, it had been dis
cussed sufficiently to crowd the
church at the noon hour yesterday,
and the wedding service was pro-
nounced beautiful by all attending.
The bride was handsomely gowned
and looked very happy. The groom,
prosperous ranchman of Ridgway,
is young and good looking. with
frank face that appeals to all. and he
looked entirely worthy of the good
Delta girl he had won. Miss Single
ton is one of our best known and most
liked girls, and her hosts of friends
here, while regretting her loss, are
most sincere in their congratulations
and good wishes.
After the ceremony the bridal par
ty, with the Bishop and pastor, repair
ed to the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Singleton, where
an elaborate wedding luncheon was
served. The happy couple started by
auto for Ridgway in the early after
noon.

We, the undersigned, wish to make

on every occasion that brings outside
people into our town.
We have to pay rents, help-hire.
taxes and other legitimate expenses,
and spend at least s4OO each week with
the merchants of the town, and at the
very best our profits are small under
the war prices of all eatables.
All, business and professional men
with whom we have talked, even some
of the pastors, agree that We are be-
ing treated unfairly in this matter, and
now that the business outlook is lit
tie brighter for the coming season. we
trust that this is huff said"
