SENATOR cURRAN OF sILvERToN
NOMINATED AGAIN BY G. o. p.

Herbert f. Curran of Silverton was
again nominated by the Republican
senatorial assembly TO serve as pri-
mary candidate for office from the
eighteenth senatorial district, his nom
nation being unanimous.
The Silverton Miner has the follow
ing TO say regarding the nomination.;
Senator Curran has faithfully serv-
ed this district in the last two legis-
lative bodies at Denver and has brot
credit to the entire section. He is
admired by all alike. whether they
be Democrat or Republican.
While Senator Curran was in the
minority during the last session, he
did have the manhood and stability to
stand squarely and firmly behind the
governor in every war movement that
was proposed. and that was more than
the governors own party did.
ut is Mr.. Curran against Mr.. Slat-
terry in the coming campaign. as it
was in the senatorial race of four
years ago. The Republicans have no
apologies to make for Senator Curran
and feel confident that when the votes
are counted on election day he will
again be returned victor over his Dem
ocratic opponent. Mr.. j. H. Slattery."
Mrs. Curran is sister of Mrs. F.
S. Sayre of Ash mesa and for several
weeks has been visiting here.

DELTA COUNTY CHAPTER RED
CROSS TO THE FRONT

Delta County Chapter of the Red
Cross is doing itself proud. About
the first of June the ladies received
a requisition for an immense amount
of knitted garments. hospital supplies
and refugee garments. 1t was enough
to stagger an ordinary mortal but it
brought no. perpleXing frown to the
brow of the cheerful ladies whose first
lesson of sacrifice. has already been
learned.
Among other things which were to
be completed between June l and Sep
tember l were the following: $40
knitted sweaters; 1922 pairs knitted
socks 300 morning jackets for refugee
women; 250 women's drawers; 500
helpless case shirts; $50 mems shirts;
800 pairs bandaged foot socks.
The Delta county ladies have doubl-
ed the allotment for sweaters, and
the rest of the allotment has been
completed with the exception of the
helpless case shirts for which material
has not been available.
The writer made visit to the ship
ping depot Monday morning and saw
lnC Sdl liChtS MhlIll Woie DclhS pre-
pared for shipment This, of course.
included garments made by Rogers
mesa, Austin, and all auxiliary units
of the county except Hotchkiss and
Paonia. Gee whiz: We never knew
there were so many socks and sweat
ers. etc, in the United States; and
this was but a three weeks shipment.
Everything was made according to
Hoyle and tied just so. carefully in
spected and checked from the list. In
addition to the requisition there were
a large number of pretty dresses and
aprons for refugee girls which would
gladden. the heart of any American
girl.
Truly the work of the Red Cross is a
wonderful work and no one could
CLEAN even the faintest suspicion of
the magnitude and attractiveness of
the work without becoming inoculated
with the germ of enthusiasm.
The Delta county ladies are workers
from away back and their completed
work exceeds by far that of larger
counties.

DELTA PARTY HAS NARROW
ESCAPE WHEN AUTO ovERTuRNS

Tuesday afternoon few miles this
side of Palisade party composed of
Ira Allentharp. Roy Greenwood. the
foreman of the Allentharp ranch above
Leadville and another party. came to
grief. which fortunately resulted in
nothing worse than a scare, a good
shaking up and few scratches and
bruises.
Allentharp was returning from the
sheep camp bringing the two men.
and picked up Roy Greenwood at Glen
wood Springs. A heavy rain had rem
dered the road very slippery and in
rounding curve the car skidded over
a steep embankment. turning over on
its side and pinning Alelntharp and
Greenwood underneath. The foreman,
who occupied the front seat with Mr..
Allentharp. was thrown through the
windshield. while the other passenger
in the rear seat went through the
side clearing the car.
