I DELTA on AUSTIN TO De
NAMED DISTRIBUTING POINT

Little did the stockholders In the
Black Canyon OIL and Gas company
dream that Delta county would soon
have one of the distribution points
for the Liquid Carbonic company. but
It look as IL srch will be the case.
The Liquid Carbonic company. is
q nationwide concern. operating In all
the principal cities OF the country.
They have had two men here who
have thoroughly investigated condi-
dons at the site OF the Black Canyon
company and pronounce the gas OF a
fine quality.
R. A. King. George Bruce and
others, were the original promoters
of the Black Canyon company. to
drill for oil and gas in Delta vicinity.
In 1918, they organized the company
and drilled for oil. without success.
The company was quickly financed
and drilling started In earnest. At a
depth of 500 feet a fow OF carbonat-
ed gas was struck and It was several
DAYS before 1t could checked. A test
was made at that time, but owing to
conditions It was thought best to case
off the gas and proceed with the drill
ing. which was done.
r. A. King advised us this week
that he had the matter up with the
Liquid Carbonic company and that he
was leaving Thursday to close up the
details.
This will be welcome news to the
stockholders, as it is quite likely
that in a short time the stock VIII

CONCERNING CALIFORNIA MESA
SCHOOL coNDITIoNs-MER

There has been a strong demand
by the people for curtailment of ex-
penses in all of our departments of
government. and while I well know
that Delta county has as great il
not greater need OF retrenchmeut
than any other section of the com.
try, l feel it my duty to let the peo-
pie know of the proposed school
building in the Mountaien View sec
tion of District No. 1.
They have at this time a ono
room school house which is in
very bad state of repair, and If it
were tenantable, it is and has been
tor some time too small to accom-
modate the pupils of this communi-
ty. There n pupils of school age in
this section. with one teacher to
handle tht eight grades, and he.
cause of lack of room to accommo-
date all of these pupils, we have
oeen forced to neglect those who
were inclined to truancy.
The size and shape of this section
and the uncertainty of our roads.
make 1t almost impossible to haui
tnese people to town. Besides those
people insist upon having school
house. They feel that it will he a
good social benefit in the communi-
ty; and from the statement of Mr
Merchant, our county assessor. one
can readily see that they have a
rignt to be heard in this matter.
The assessors statement shows
that the assessed valuation for this
section is 1851, 10000, which paws for
school purposes s5,273.52. Besides
this, the school is entitled to about
$500 out of the general fund. bring
ing the total up to about s5.77352
VI this sum, there has been paid
back to this section the salary of
one teacher. the cost of 8 or 4 tons
OF coal, about 2 tanks of water. one
load OF wood and some chalk and

SOMERSET GETS UNDER
DECTA's HIDE AGAIN

There is no use trying to evade the
tiuth-they did it, and even yet the
fans are scratching their heads and
wondering how II happened.
The. ball game Sunday between
Somerset and Delta had all the sensa-
ttonal to be desired. A heavy rain
at about noon converted the gounds
INTO perfect lobloily. while light
showers later almost banished the
possibility OF game. But both the
hOtchklss and Somerset teams were
mere Tor the double header planned,
the fans were ''rarin' to co." SO al
though the players during the early
rink and tangiefoot flypaper EEAAO
part of the game alternately suggest
ed skating rink and tanglefOot
nypaper, there was a lot of fun, and
as the ground settled things looked
bette.-at least for the home team.
Each side got three runs in the
first inning, Delta scoring once in the
second. Things ughtened up for the
next three frames and nothing was
made by either side. The visitors
scored another run In the sixth, tying
the score. Delta drove in two more
men In the eighth when Warren and
Nicholson punched hits and it was
generally conceded Delta's game.
But there's many a slip" and this
is not the first instance where for
tunes are made and hearts broken in
one inning. Here is the brief story
of how Delta lost the game:
Averitt hit; Bohnet followed to bat
and succeeded in getting his elbow
tapped by a pitched ball, and in con-
sequence drew a walk. Evans sing
led. Picture it. Bases full and no
body out Williams flied out TO left
field. Redman walked scoring Averitt
on force, Matthews anded on first
through Warren's tumble and this
was the blow which cost Delta the
game. What looked like an easy dou-
BILE got Delta nothing but a bunch
of full bases. The jinx was working
overtime and Bohnet and Evans
scored Atkins out, Erger to Graham.
Schmidt out Nicholson to Graham.
Final score 5 to Z.
Cres. "a Butte will play here next
Sunday and the latter part Of next
