Opening Game
Next Thursday

The opening game of baseball will
be played at Delta next Thursday af-
ternoon, April 13, between Delta and
Olathe teams.
Olathe, it will be remembered, cap
tured the Western Slope champion
ship last season, defeating Montrose
in the final games.
Independent cannot promise that
Delta will be winner this season, but
it does feel assured that there is GO
ing to be better playing and more en-
thusiasm over the games than has
been manifest for number of years.
The mere announcement of the
opening game next Thursday should
be sufficient to bring out big crowd.

Villa, the Bandit,
Still at Liberty

According to latest reports received
by Independent before going to press.
Gen. villa had not been captured. and
the reports previously sent out to the
effect that he had been wounded, were
also denied.
A good many of the reports seem to
have been made up so that city dailies
could print and sell special editions,
and II is doubtful II much reliance
can be placed on any dispatch not
coming from the government or the
pursuing army. and as both are un-
willing to give out reports merely
founded upon rumor. the reader can
sum up the amount of salt he is ex-
pected to take with his villa news.
That there is more or less appre-
hension felt in regard to the villa
hunt by u. $. troops-permitted but
not sanctioned-by international law.
is shown by the massing of additional
troops at the border. and many hold
the secret belief that the movement

transacted other than routine. The
first Sunday in May was set for trip
through the Gunnison tunnel, in which
trip any may join who wish. This trip
through is to be made on foot and
those who so must have waders. The
water will be turned off the evening
before, so the trip can be made, and
it will be made on foot this time. The
visitors are supposed to drive to the
top Of the hill in cars. then walk down
to the river to the terminal. about
one and half miles, enter the tunnel
at the river portal and walk through
it. distance of about six miles. at
which point the autos will await them.

Sugar Factory To Be Part
of a 1O,5OO,OOO Concern

In confirmation of the statement
published in Independent last week
came later articles in nearly all of the
city dailies, affirming that the group
of beet sugar factories of which the
Delta factory is asserted to be the
leader, has been capitalized by Mr.. A.
E. Carlton, Colorado Springs and Grip
Pile Creek banker, for the sum of
s10.5O0.O00.
The master stroke of financing this

accomplished during Mr.. Cartons re-

The new company is, according to
reports sent out, 10 own the Holly

ing to the testimony of DR.. w. F. Rich,
who performed the official examina-
tion Of the body, there was no evil
dences of antemortem violence to be
found on it. He declared it to be his
opinion that death came to the young
craftsman by drowning, and nothing
else.
The brain examination is to be made
at the behest of the insurance COM
pany in which Denton carried $4,000

the local attorney representing the
concern was directed to attend the
inquest and ask for the examination.

Protection Sentiment Strong in South.
Soon after the enactment of the
Underwood tariff law, which reduced
the duty on sugar and proposed to
in May. 1916. cane sugar producers in
Louisiana either reduced their acreage
or discontinued production entirely.
and some of the largest sugar planta.
tions went into bankruptcy. Other
large cane sugar plants were sold at a
fraction of their former value and the
former owners invested the proceeds
in refineries for the handling of raw
sugar imported from the West Indies,
1t is not surprising. therefore, that the
anxious business men of that hereto
fore solid Democratic state are ready
to vote for an advocate of protection.
providing he will run on ticket bear
ing any other name than that of Re
publican. One district in southern
Louisiana sent to Congress two years
ago man who was elected as Pro
gressive Protectionist and declared his
advocacy of protective tariff. He
will be reelected. II the election
machinery could be so adjusted as to
secure an accurate expression of SEN
timent throughoute the Southern Sta
ties, there can be little doubt that
majority of the people would vote for
candidates pledged to support protec'
tive tariff legislation. provided they
were not elected under the name of
Republican. Sectional prejudice which
has existed ever since the war has
made it practically impossible to elect
a Republican from the south except In
n few districts in North Carolina, Vir-
ginia. and Tennessee where Northern
ers have gone In sufficient numbers in
recent years to establish preponder-
ance of public opinion. Quite likely
in other states than Louisiana the ad-
vocates of protection will find means
of electing protective tariff congress
men on tickets designated by some
title other than that which has been
so obnoxious to the Southern people.

Educational Value
of Picture Show

There is a considerable of agitation
in the world outside of Delta in re-
gard to the good or evil influence of
the Motion Picture Theater. In the
larger towns there is an opportunity
to choose from the varied programs,
one that at least might be less objec-
tiOnable than some others; but here
with but one show running there is
no choice between the devil or the
deep sea"-and often we see both in
one night. But almost anything, in
my estimation. would be preferable
to such outlawish performances as
the serial 'Stingares" now running;
and on account of which q much wor-
ried mother said. she had sent her two
boys in the country to get them away
from two of the Saturday shows. Per-
haps if the right influence was
brought to bear on the very obliging
manager, he would be willing to Sc
cure a good instructive-moral and
educational show for the Saturday
matinee, on which day most of the
school children attend.

To Celebrate the
Fourth in Delta

There is considerable interest shown
by Delta people in the matter of a
Fourth of July celebration this year.
Both the town and the country will
in all probability be feeling pretty
good by that time, if the crop outlook
is as promising as expected. and the
country people will be glad of day
off, with good program of fun and
frolic and sport.
By that time we will have our ball
players well up to professional lines.
Then there are some good horses in
the country and we might race a little.
To this could be added some local fast
motorcycle dashes. with perhaps an
auto race or two. Then the street
sports would come in for the young.
sters and the big street dance at
night Yes, there could be plenty do
ing. Those who felt like spending the
day quietly could picnic on the court
house grounds. or in other hooks.

helps the constitution. II gets people
away from business and work and to-
gether for a day. It is not only an op-
portunity but duty. And we are in
favor Of the fireworks with the rest

Amazing Losses
in European War

The great struggle at Verdun con-
tinues and is growing in interest.
For time the past week credit was
given TO German gains, but later re-
ports showed them driven back by
the Frenchman's fierce fighting. and
all vantage ground recovered, while
the German losses continue appalling.
Little Holland is also getting in line
to oppose the Kaiser, and massing
her armies. The Russian Bear seems
to be just getting in good trim for the
siege of warfare and his hosts are
assuming the aggressive at different
points.
England, the greatest of the money
spenders among the nations at war,
lars to cover the expenses of another
year of fighting, all of which looks
discouraging for the advocates of
peace.
While Germany is keeping up her
amazing output of shot and shells,
and is conserving all she possibly can
of her reserve forces, her chances are
regarded as desperate. With but 20,
100000 population to begin with
about two thirds the population of
the United States-and with the add
ed strength of her allies, mainly Aus
tria, she has waged wonderful war
against Russia, England, France and
Italy. with their overwhelming num-
bers, but has greatly decimated her
soldiers in fierce attacks against her
enemies. The French are fighting
with the fierceness and venom of old
foes, while Russia and England seem
capable of bringing forward consid-
cradle of reserve strength even in case
the war should last for another year.

market last week were liberal, and
there was a good demand. Early in
the week prices were higher, but later,
under the influence of sharp declines
at all Eastern markets, prices went
off some. Good cattle, however, clos
ed pretty close to steady with the
close of the week before, and palmer
kinds around 10 to 10 cents lower. To
day, with 1,2O0 cattle on sale. trade
was brisk from start to finish, and
prices about dime higher than last
weeks close. Good beef steers are
selling from IS to $50, and extra
choice heavy steers sold up to s9.15
early last week, this being the highest
price of the season here. Good cows
are bringing s665 to $3.50 and a
couple of loads of choice well finished
cows sold at $3.50 last week. also the
highest price of the season. Bulls
are bringing $3.50 to $3.50. and veal
caves are StlllHS lEolu FAu toTAA-"N.
Feeder and stocker demand is strong.
Good steers are moving at 81 to S7.65.
and fair steers at $3.50 to 81. Stock
and breeding cows and heifers are in
good demand at prices ranging from
s6.25 to S7.75.
The hog trade was active all week
and demand rather better than supply,
although receipts were liberal Prices
went off early in the week, but the
market recovered slightly the last Of
the week and today prices were Is to
20 cents higher. Good hogs are now
selling around s9.15 to $9.35. Receipts
OF hogs for March were the largest on
record on the Denver market, total
supply being over $1,000 head.
The sheep market is little lower
than a week ago. owing to declines at
all the river markets. Good fat ewes
are selling around $3.50 to IS, and
good lambs are bringing around s10.5o
to s1o.75. The demand Is good here
and prices continue well in line with

Delta in a much stronger and better

as much as its building has, hereto

have the money to protect its opera
