Delta's Biggest Day Was
Well Celebrated Yesterday

pleasant in the history of the town.
One OF the featres of the day was
the opening ball game of the sea
son, played by Delta VS.. Grand juno
ton, of the Western Slope league.
The weather was too cold and windy
to see much of game, but there was
big crowd in evidence just the same
Bill Hall was in the box for the
visitors and Amber who played first
for Montrose last season was In his
old place for the visitors. The rest
of that team were strangers to Delta
fans. Hall was N mis- usual good trlln
and carried away the honcrs OF the
day. The score stood I to in favor
of Grand junction.
Kersten was in the box for Delta
and did good work. There were no
feature plays made during the entire
game, but the fans enjoyed the game
just the same, as this was the initial
game this year.
The Grand Junction team look as
though they were going to be real
players as the season advances, and
an entirely different class of players
than they had last year.
Time and space prevents US from
giving an extended writeup of the
game.

The streets, as well as the rank

In addition to the male members Of
the order there was a great crowd
of Rebekahs. and all were greeted b !

of surging enthusiastic people.
Team work was put on last nigh,
by the Clifton drill team for the Odl
Fellows. Rebekah team work was put
on by Grand Junction. In addition

both of which were immense social
successes.

Have Been Feeding Germany.

Now that the United States is at
war with Germany. it is pertinent to
call attention to the fact that this
country has been feeding large
source Of supply for Germany during
the present war. Although we have
sold little to Germany direct. because
of the British blockade, we have been
selling as freely as Great Britain would
permit through the mediumship of
Norway. Sweden. Denmark and Hol-
land We sold Denmark eight times
as much corn in 1916 as in 1914. or
coures these sales will not be made in
future and Germany will lose this
source OF food supply.

AN OLD PRINT.

J. Peck McSwain doomed up on the
horizon Thursday last and filtered
out, westward bound, the same after
noon. He started from Greenwood
overland, and a good Samaritan pick
ed him up and gave him lift in his
car to Oroville. Peck Is the last OF the
old time prints, common enough in the
days before the advent Of the ma
chine, when such well-known char
acters as "The Pilgrim" and Cali
fornia Dick" and others Of the same
restless fraternity drifted in and out
Of the printing Offices of the Pacific
coast. Peck is a familiar visitor TO
all the shops along the border. and
none are so heartless as to turn him
away empty handed. Peck is a man
of far more than ordinary intelli-

large amounts through Great lakes

Or. H. A. Garfield. the fuel ad-
ministrator Friday requested the eX-
perts administrative board L. per
nit no more coal TO be shipped out
of the country except under license
restrictions and asked that no
licenses be granted unless they are
approved 10y the fuel adminiStra-
ton. Coal heretofore along with
other American products has gone

issued by collectors of customs.
To EqualiZe Distribution.
The fuel administration" said
DR. Garfield Friday night does not
intend TO cut of Canadian exports
but with the supervision, il Will be
able 70 equalize the distribution OF
coal and see that the northwest and
Canada both get their fair shares.
Coal has been moving towards
lake ports in large quantities for
some weeks under an order ISSUED
10y Robert :. Lovett, the govern
ment's director Of priority of trans
portation. directing that fuel ship
ments be given preference over
other freight. The purpose OF the
order was 10 supply the northwest
with an abundance OF coal before
the winter season closes shipping on
the lakes.
Complaints coming TO DIR. Gar
field that much Of the coal gCing TO
the lakes was not reaching the
northwestern states prompted an
investigation which revealed that a
great part OF il was reaching Can

and Sept. 5. it was found out OF a
total Of 1.755.S12 tons of coal that
reached lake ports 53O.97 tons

cess OF the proportion of Canadian
shipments by lake boats in normal
times.
