There probably never was a time
since Colorado was made state that
Delta County was so well represented
in the capitol building as it is at the
present time.
We have presiding over the senate,
Lieutenant Governor George Stephan

and the western slope, and think
they make very efficient machine.
Due to the delay in getting so many
bills printed. there has been practical.
ly no discussion of bills this week
with the exception OF the short appro-
priation bills. The shot appropriation
bills are put in to cover the expense
of the different branches OF the state
government and state institutions
from December 1st, until April 1st.
the long appropriation bills will be
passed and the money become avail.

becomes available according to law.
There was nothing DarticuIariIv In
teresting about the snor, appropriation
bill as 1t passed the house, with the
exception that 1t contained $4,000 for
the continuation Of the alfalfa weeyil
work in Delta county. There is some
question as to the amount necessary
to carry on the work of the civil ser.

The ADMINISTRATION expenses of the
chapter have been very small. The
use of the two rooms has been donated
since October, 1918 by Mr.. Dan Cook;
the installation and use of both the
phones was donated by the telephone
companies; no salaries are paid, all
the work being volunteer.
We would publicly acknowledge our
gratitude to Mr.. Dan Cook and the
telephone companies. also the tele-
phone operators for prompt and eff
cient service.
Now that the work of production
will be launched along new lines. What
they are to be lies in the future. In
the mean time there is a large field
for activity along home service lines.
Such work lies strictly in the families
of soldiers and sailors except in cpl
denies and disasters when the Red
Cross funds are available. s10535

However, the entire park will not
