GROWERS AND SHIPPERS
PROTEST AGAINST LAW

A storm of protest has been raised
by both growers and shippers against
the new grading regulations as the
outgrowth of the action of the 1891
Legislature known as House Bill No.
456.
For some time the feeling has been
growing, but it has only been since
the regulations were published and
the actual facts became known that
drastic action has been deemed neces-
sary.
Delta's fruit and potatoes have
for several years occupied top shelf
in the affections of the purchasing
public. and it is claimed that the reg
ufations are designed to cheaper the
standard and will be tragedy for the
industry in this district.
A meeting was held at the court
house Tuesday evening and Mr.. Moy-
nihan of Montrose was invited to be
present and give an opinion. Mr.
Moynihan stated that in his opinion
the bill as passed is unconstitutional.
Fully 30 persons voluntarily sign
ed their names agreeing to give finan-
cial aid to movement to test the
constitutionality of the measure.

CITIZENS RAISE GENEROUS
FUND FOR COMMUNITY ROOM

The Labor Day activities will net
somewhere near $3.50 for the Com
munity Room furniture. and while it
would appear that this should have
been much more, even this much will
buy number of needed articles for
this most necessary part of Delta's
possessions.
The ball game proceeds were all
donatel: the Boy Scouts sold soft
drinks, etc. and turned in 50; the la
dies of the Woman's Club sold re-
freshments in the evening and made
few dollars, but the dance at Elks'
hall. so well intended. failed to reap
any reward.
Coffee and loaf sugar were gen.
erously donated by Gale & Gale, the
Cooperative Trading Company, the
Frost's Grocery and Day and Sharman
while dishes were furnished by the
Seabourn Mercantile company, to all
of whom the club is grateful, not
alone for the gifts, but for the spirit
in which they were given

BOY DIES As
RESULT OF FALL FROM CHUTE

The community was shocked and
grieved to learn early Saturday morn
ing that Harmon Reid had passed
away at the Delta hospital, death be-
ing due to a fracture of the skull sus-
tanned in fall from the loading plat
form at the Rio Grande ice house at
about o'clock that morning.
The lad was one of the icing crew
and in some manner tripped or slip
ped, his body passing down the slope
and dropping onto the track Every
thing possible was done for him, but
without avail and the end came five
hours later.
William Harmon Reid was son of
Mr.. and Mrs. A W. Reid of Delta.
He was born here, on the 9th day of
August. 1902, and was therefore just
a little more than 10 years old.
He was a popular boy, morally
clean and wonderful example Of
young manhood. never losing an op-
.portunity to make his parents and
sisters and brothers happy.
Funeral services were held from the
Baptist church Monday morning, Rev.
A. B. Parry having charge, and there
was large attendance of friends,
particularly young people who knew
and loved the boy.
There was an unusually large num-
ber OF flowers in evidence.
The deceased is survived by his
parents, two sisters, Mrs. Harold Jar
Wis and Mrs. Edward weigart, and
two brothers, Steve and Orval.
The sympathy Of the community is
extended to these in their sorrow.
