the old rig which they got from us.
They also had to buy lot Of new cas-
ing in place of the old which was with

money unail the Job is completed"

GLORIOUS WEATHER coNTlN-
uEs THROUGHOUT THE MONTH

Rarely in the history of this section
has September held out such lovely
weather, nights cool and delicious and
days like midsummer This condi-
ton has been extremely agreeable to
the hundreds of outdoor workers who
are putting in long hours to take care
of the beautiful harvest.
Peaches and early pears and apples
have been disposed of. and potato and
onion harvest are in full swing. And
speaking of onions, they are the BAN
ner crop this year, many tracts bring
ing 400 sacks to the acre, which at
the present market price of $3.50
means about s1,100 per acre.
The beet raisers have an arrange
ment with the sugar copany for SO
per ton with a probability of a $12
price, and it is announced that dumps
will probably open next Monday.
The first frost was reported We'd
nesday morning which is a week to
ten days later than usual, and this vii
help to put the color on those fine ap-
ples of which we are all so proud.
There is an abundance of melons
and cantaloupes, the quality Of which
was never finer.
Altogether Delta County is a mighty
fine place to live in-the paradise of
the west, and fortunate indeed are we
who live here.

Mrs. Huldah Ann Thomas, widow of
William Thomas, passed peacefully
to rest Friday night, September 18th,

and was left an orphan in early child
hood. She was reared in the Chris

Rev. o. McCully, formerly pastor of
the local Christian church. A quar-
tette composed Of Mr.. Chalmers, Col
die Bruton, Rev. w. c. Coleman and
Mrs. Mary Mathers rendered several
selections
Here was a beautiful life, meeting
every obstacle with a steadfast hope.
The words of Ebert Hubbard seem
singularly adapted to the life of this
splendid Christian character:
Il wish to be simple, honest, natural,
frank, clean in mind and clean in
body, unaffected-readyt to say: I do
not know II so it be, to meet all men
on an absolute equality-to meet any
obstacle and meet every difficulty un-
afraid and unahashed. desire

WONDERFUL MONEY TAKEN
OFF GUNNiSON VALLEY PLACE

$704. The onions were raised by X.
Y. Takahashi and S. Ikamoto. two
Japanese boys, who have several acres
more to harvest.
The Moore ranch was sold recently
at what was considered to be big
price. in the neighborhood OF $4,000.
but the place has always been a mon
eymaker to the owner The place con-
sists OF about $50 acres and Is in
very high state of cultivation brought
about by the untiring efforts of Mr..
Moore, who has devoted many years
of hard work and close attention to
every crop that has been planted The

very reasonable.

CITY ELECTION WILL BE
HELD ON NOVEMBER 4TH

The city election this year comes on
Tuesday, November 4th, just six weeks
ahead. The Independent calls the
date to the attention Of our readers
at this time in order that the residents
Of the city viii have ample time to
consider such matters as might be de-
sirable to be brought before the voters
at this election.
Just who are applicants for the three
places to be filled has not, to our
knowledge, been formally made public.
However, applicants will undoubtedly
be plentiful.
We have heard some talk in regard
to amending the charter and getting
down to a one-man government, and
offering a sufficient salary to allow
the place to be sought by a person
who could afford to take the place.
The term OF office, In our opinion, is
too short to get the highest possible
efficiency. Four or six years would
be better. where the people have the
recall. Within a very short time, II
II is not at hand now. our sewers and
water system will be inadequate. The
problems coming up from now will be
much greater owing to the large bond
ed Indebtedness than at any time in
the history of Delta.
