pital, entering the training school
November Is, 1915, Miss Scott cheer
fully gave herself to the care of ty-
phoid patients during the hot months,
paying the price of her labor with her
own life. There is much sadness in
the hospital family today over the
loss of one of its members. During
the ten months Miss Scott had been
connected with the hospital, she had
won many friends with her admirable
disposition and willingness in the sick
room
Miss Scott will be buried in her
uniform. Members of her class from
Wesley hospital, in uniform. will act
as pail bearers. The funeral will be
held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock in

Colo. Mr.. Scott visited his daughter
during her illness but returned to Delta

Delta Giants Win in Denver
Series Friday and Saturday

The Delta Giants. all-star diamond
artists and semi-pro. champions of the
state of Colorado, made up an interest
ing portion of two exciting games at
Broadway park, Denver last Saturday
and Sunday, winning both games.
The first was staged between the
Western Slope bunch-or the part that
had not been disabled-and the rapid
Fort Logan Soldiers. the winners of
second money at the Post tournament
in August. Our Karl gave magni-
ficent exhibition of those various
curves that he carries in his sleeve,
allowing the soldier boys but three
safe hits and striking out 13. Birch,
twirler for the Denver team, allowed
the Delta bunch to garner in IL safe
ones from his delivery, while 10 runs
were piled up to Delta's credit and
the soldiers came as near shut-out
as they probably ever did or will, get
ting one run. A resume of this game
is given elsewhere in this issue.

themselves to Broadway to get a
sQuint at the nine that has taken ev-
erything in sight, and were rewarded
by seeing what Denver papers report
as one of the best games of the
season in semi-pro. ranks. This frame
was put up with the Stall & Deans
and several men from the outside were
added to strengthen the team.
The slope lads scored one in the
first and four more in the fifth. Up
to this time the Denver boys had a
string of nothings to their credit, but
with a short stops tumble, walk and
a bunch of safe hits in one frame,
the Sporting goods boys got five men
over the platter, tying the score in
a hurry. From that time on there
was air tight ball until the ninth.
Then Hony Guyer batted single and
Dunn sarificed Hony to second. Cor

when he got hold of it he perpetrated

Local Crops

Weather for the past week has been
much of the April style of showers
and sunshine, changing to cool and
clear Wednesday night, Thursday
morning bringing us our first real
killing frost. Some of the third cut
ting of alfalfa remains for the reaper
and considerable grain remains to be
harvested. Late potatoes are going
out in carload lots and the sugar beet
harvest has fairly begun. Onion
shipments are still in evidance. the
price being about s1.70 per hundred
weight, some selling up to 50. Po-
tatoes have gone from S1.25 last Sat
urday to about s1.40 per hundred. Best
apples are bringing from S1.10 to s125

that the Boy Scouts were intending

the funeral expenses of the little Mar
tin baby which passed away last week.
Mr. Hopson informs US, however.
that although he appreciates the good
intentions of the boys, yet in this case
there are no funeral expenses, as he
has made no charge whatever to the
family, and he desires that any money
raised by the boys be given to the
family to use for the necessities of

He further states that at any time

Business Men Talk Sugar
Factory and Road Building

Pursuant to notice, 100 or more bus
mess men and citizens met with a
sprinkling of farmers Monday night,
first partaking of a spread at the
Royal Cafe.
After the feed different subjects
were discussed, much of the time be-
ing given to the subject of the pro-
posed Delta sugar factory.
Mr.. Holmes, receiver and superin-
tendent of the Western Land and
Sugar company was here and made a
talk as follows:
MT. Carlton has said he intends to
build a factory at Delta as soon as
the situation will justify it, and he
has always proven a man of his word.
In the buying of the Grand Junction
factory, our original plans were inter
fered with and somewhat changed.
We have the site paid for in Delta
and last week the d. & r. G. engineers
located our oidings. In the matter OF
subscriptions to the site. Mr.. Carlton
staed that he did not want any dona-
tions
"Mr. Carlton has arranged a 800.
900 budget to be available for beet
payments at the beginning of the pres
ent seasons harvest. which sum was
10 be divided in deposits in the diff
ferent banks over the beet growing
territory"
When asked IL the signing of eight
thousand acres OF beets by our people
would insure factory at Delta for
next year. Mr.. Holmes replied that he
could not give the assurance. A com
mittee was then appointed to call Mr..
Carlton by long distance phone and
put the question to him. His reply
was that he could not give such as
surance; that contracts signed under
the impulse of local ambition might
not be reliable. etc. The committee
was then instructed to confer by cor.
respondence with Mr.. Carlton.
Mr.. Douthitt. field man for the COM
pany stated that he could secure ten
thousand sscres Of beet territory In
Delta and Montrose counties II the fac
tory was at Delta
The whole situation seemed to re-
solve itself into one OF unprepared-
ness-not on the part OF the field but
on the part Of the sugar company.

manning as the stumbling block.

tory in the first place was speculative

Miller Injured
Game

NJ. w. Miller, star catcher for the
Giants, had the misfortune to sprain
his ankle in one of the La Junta
games, and was compelled to navigate
on crutches during the interesting
series played this week on the East
side. Mr.. Miller says that while he
stood back of the plate. La Junta
base runner in sliding home collided
with him in such a way as to throw
him to the ground. His left foot was
doubled back under him and he re-
ceived a severe sprain. For several
days he was unable to touch terra
firma with the injured member. and
even yet he courts the company of
pair of crutches and 1t will be some
time before he will be able to part
company with them.
1t was due to this fact that the
Delta lads lost the game. the catcher
substituted being unable to hold that
Halls delivery. The score was to

land and possibly other concessions,
which are still entailed and which con-

how far the plans of the new concern
may have in view of promotion VS..
foretold
1t is reasonable to believe that
Delta will gain a factory, even at the
sometime will of the manipulators of
the rGand Junction plant: that it will
prove the natural outgrowth of their
working of the sugar industry,
whether by Mr.. Carlton and his crowd
or by their successors.
The more unfortunate thing is that
field now so ripe, with plenty of
acreage and soil and sunshine that
puts more sugar into beets than anv
other, and which will last forever,
should be hampered by anything ex-
cept a sugar factory and a sugar COM
pany interested in anything but the
manufacture and sale of sugar.
The time is ripe for an immediate
factory at Delta, and there should be
found somewhere, at an opportune
time like this. sugar makers to take
advantage OF it.
At the meeting the matter of pro
gress being made by the Nulca-Delta
road was reported upon by the proper
committee and various suggestions of
fered relative TO aid to be obtained
from federal and iorest sources.
