Since the death of G. w. Bouck, who
had fled for representative at large
from Morrison and Crow Wing counties,
there has been considerable talk toward
getting someone in the field to contest
che election with s. G. Gardner of
Brainerd. The law does not allow filing
by petition, as there is no vacancy in
the meaning of the law, there being but
enc place to fill, and there being can
didate duly fled for the office. There
fore the only way to make contest at
the general election is by the sticker
route. A number of names have been
suggested of men to make the race, the
latest being that Of J. J. Tucker of Fl.
Ripley, and during visit in Little
Fails the first of the week, a number of
citizens rendered him their support
should he become a candidate. Mr..
Tucker is an old-time resident of Fl.
Ripley and we'll known in both counties.
Hie business has brought him into con-
tast very generally with the farmers of
his vicinity and he is known for his bus
mess ability and square dealing. The
sucker route makes the contest hard.
a. one than it would be otherwise, but
1t is believed by many Of the friends
Of Mr.. Tucker in both Morrison and
Grow Wing counties, that he would
have an excellent chance to win out.
Mr.. Tucker, who is known as a. man of
progressive tendencies, has not as yet
consented to run, it is understood, but
VIII give some time to looking over the
field, and will likely make the race if
sufficient encouragement be given him
by the voters of the district.

DELTA COUNTY HOSPITAL NOW
REPORTED TO BE A REALITY

Some interesting facts have devel-
oped in the reports submitted by the
various committees on the govern
ment, plans and equipment for our
new Delta County hospital. One
unanimous opinion is that its govern
ment will be strictly non-sectarian,
with no particular religious creed, and
non-partisan, with absolutely no po-
litical affiliations. The hospital viii
be built by the people, for the people,
supported by the people and governed
by the people. Could anything be
more fair than that?
One of the nice features will be an
alley entrance for automobiles and
ambulances, and this will preclude the
possibility of the neighborhood being
disturbed or becoming unduly excited.
| This institution will undoubtedly
add approximately :$75,000 annually
to the money circulation and business
interests of Delta County and vicinity,
| and is something worth thinking
about, aside from the immense
amount of good it will do in other
ways.
| Our physicians report almost daily
inquiries from people outside as to
Western slope hospital facilities. and
the little place we have now is jam
med most of the time, with a waiting
list of minor operations.
Do you remember what the "flu''
did to us last year, and how many
loving homes were broken up forever
because we did not have place to
take care of them? Well, if the "flu''
or any other epidemic should hit us
again to-day, it would find us in exact
Iy the same fix, so it surely behooves
US to get busy, mighty busy, and that
right away. =

HONESTLY DID YOUR HOLIDAY
EOoDs COME BY MAIL oRDERsi

N would be interesting to know
how much of the annual sum spent
~ the people of Delta for holiday
and winter purchases, is sent out of
torn. Considering the thoroughness
with which other houses advertise
thar offerings, and that there is al
ways an element that likes to go to
some bigger place to trade, this sum
may be rather large.
Now II all that money could be kept
at home, it would give a tremendous
start on new boom for Delta for the
year 1920. The merchants would start
the new year with a great confidence
and a willingness to take hold of
projects OF expansion. 1t would mean
more taxable property. bigger stocks
in the stores. more support for all
public enterprises.
There are some people who do not
realize what complete outfit of all
kinds OF holiday and winter stuff is
carried right here in this city. These
home merchants have been constantly
preparing for this trade for months
past They have seen representatives
and samples from the best Wholesale

JOHN Q. SMITH assUEs STATE
.MENT CONCERNING HIS PLAN

John B. Smith, commonly known -
Canyon Smith" was down from Aus
tin last week and made the Iuder
pendent office a call.
Mr.. Smith states that he proposes
to organize company to develop and
manufacture materials that are abundE
ant on his claims in the Black Canyon
region. The claims embrace some
47S acres and are adjoining the prop
erty of the Black Canyon Oil and Gas
company holdings.
The minerals found, according to
Mr.. Smith, are what mikht be dfvid-
ed into three classes. First, those
which can be easily and cheaply re-
duced directly to commercial forms
without waste or assortment Second,
those which will require extra treat
menf to separate them from the ma
terials with which they are found as-
sociated. Third, vast quantities Of
materials, the commercial properties
and uses Of which have not been de
finitely determined.
Quantities of American umber and
American sienna are found, and &C.
cording 20 a well known mineral jour
nal the prices are quoted as high a
$50 and $40 per ton. respectively. And
besides these two minerals, there are
also quantities OF clay that cannot be
excelled for quality in paint and china
manufacture. Other ores are also
found on his property.
According to Mr.. Smith tho paini
mineral is about the easiest to manu-
facture, requiring but very little
expense in the installing Of a reduc
tion plant to be able to market
The proposed company is to be
known as the Black Canyon Develop
ment company, with an authorized
capitalization of $4,000 with shares
at $1.0o each
One of the first purposes OF the com
pany will be the installing OF PLAN
