McMullin Victor
H6uS in Primaries

Samuel G. McMuliin OF Grand juno
tiop.- appears TO he way in the lead
for the attorney generalship on the
Republican ticket-in fact his nomina-
ton is assured according TO latest -ad-
vices from the official state count
Mr.. McMullin is one of the leading
attorneys of the state and his fitness
for this position cannot be questioned.
His campaign for the nomination
was dictated largely from desire TO
have representative from Western
Colorado on the state board of equaii'
zation who would exert an influence to
overcome the inequitable and unjust
assessed valuations with which we
have been afflicted. Wetern Colorado
will never be able to protect herself
and secure her rights until the people
realize that they must be controlled by
their own issues instead of artificial
issues manufactured in Denver.

Bank Statements
Show Prosperity

The report as made to the comptrol-
Ter of currency for the Delta National
Bank, the Colorado State Bank anc the
State Bank of Austin, all appear in
this issue of the Independent.
Some very gratifying figures loom
up in these statements, for instance
the total deposits of the Delta National
is S439. .03S.33; the Colorado State,
S94.46S.4S; the State Bank of Austin,
$40. .9O001. making a total of approx
mately 5000. 10000 The First National
have s371.25422. making a grand total
in the four banks of sS45,661.04.
This is an excellent showing, and we
are informed had the report came
few days later the figures would have
been materially larger, as consider
able money has been coming in from
the sale of crops.
Mr. Coerver of the Delta National
says his bank has more money on
deposit now than they have had in
ten years.

Delta, the Champions, Walk
Off with Third Tournament

the first inning and it looked like a
walkaway: But from that time up
to the ninth the Salida team played
tight ball and gradually gained on
their opponents until at the beginning
of the ninth the score stood S to 3 in
Salida's favor In this inning the
Montrose team rallied and put two
more over the plate, but it was too
late TO save the day.
At the close of the round Salida
had won S to Z.
Il may seem strange, but there
were a good number of Delta people
there roofing for Montrose. The boys
have played we'll and it seemed that
on this occasion they deserved much
better support than they received.
The batteries were: For Montros..
Downey and Spahr. Art Anheier, the
regular catcher, playing short. For
Salida, Hay and Moss.
Immediately following this came the
final between Salida and Delta. with
that winning smile. He had some
thing else that was winning, too. and
that was winning delivery. There
was some misapprehension among the
fans as to his success, but Karl knew
where he TODD. A fig for him who
frets He won from the Salida boys
hands down, striking out ~ and al
lowing them but two hits. Miller was
the catcher. Salida pitched Ryan and
used Moss as stopper.
The final score was to 1, in favor
of the local boys giving Delta first
money, $4OO; Salida second, 5000,
Montrose third, 500; while Grand
Junction and Olathe divided fourth,
$50 each.
They had to go through three tourna
ments. play and win 10 games. almost
without an error. before they could
get some of the knockers to admit it,
but now no one disputes it. Strange.
isn't it? The Delta team played A.
games during the season. winning 81
and losing 1s. Their percent is .72S.
Such has been the ground gained
during the season that Delta is being
talked off all over the state, as well
as in some places in the east Gene
Fowler. sport writer for the Denver
News. in an address before the Denver
Athletic association last week. is re-
ported to have made the following
statement: "From what am able to
learn I am convinced that Delta has
the fastest team in the state. not even
excepting tho Denver Bears."

spare time that you have been in the
habit of squandering.
Simplicity of Our Plan.
Realizing that you and others like
you would rather have an automobile
than anything else of same value, We
have decided to offer car to the per-
son in this locality who is most ambi-
tious and deerving.
All that is necessary for you to do
is to secure the mot votes in an eight

duct in giving away the car and five
other valuable prizes.
We have hired a firm of specialists
(The Burgess Syndicate of Kansas
City. MOI to send man here to help
interested parties and manage the
campaign. You won't have to "go in
blind" but will have everything ex-
planned carefully.

Salida and Delta the latter winning
by the score of s to o; and Montrose
and Olathe competing, the former win
ming.
On Friday Delta drew Grand juno
ton. while Olathe and Salida played
a game. Montrose retiring for that day.
The result OF the first contest was 10
to 0 in Delta's favor. Davis and Hut
ton formed the battery for the Mesa
county lads and Davis pitched a fairly
good game, though his support was
weak. In the Salida- -Olathe game. the
East Slopers won 10 to 0. The Hub
folks were crippled considerably for
players and had to supply several who
not been playing during the season.
r. Roatcap started off as pitcher, bui
Salida's sluggers were little too much
for him. and John Neal, who had pitch
ed the day before, was forced to take
the mound. Ryan and Moss formed
the combination for Salida and the
team did much better work than the
previous day.
The following day Saturday Grand
Junction and Salida occupied the dia-
mond during the first two hours. Grand
Junction found herself shy a pitcher
for this game, so Paulicheck. of Paon,a
fame, assisted. Bross. alsoc held down
first base for the Junction folks. POL

out of practice. but even at that they
got four runs, while the Salida nine
put IL over the plate. Macarthur, and
Moss formed the battery for this team.
Following this came the game be-
tween Montrose and our home team.
Billings pitching against Art Anheier.
while Spahr wore the mask for the
upper city and our Miller for Delta.
This game was replete with excite.
ment, though the locals had the best
of 1t all along. They were badly
broken up. their star pitcher, McGraw
having returned to the university, and
as stated last week, Donovan was in
jured in the first game and was dis
abled during the entire tournament.
The result OF this contest was 1s to
in Delta's favor.
Montrose and Salida had each lost
game. so the first on Sunday was
