Raw silk Market Quiet.

The close of the raw silk market left
jobbers and other buyers combining their
activities to immediate need goods.
Prices LEGALLY were fairly steady but
below quotations in primary markets.
The persistency OF handlers OF raw silk
In sticking out for n pcgged price made
mt Yokohama has made manufacturers
very skeptical OF raw silk values. II IL
claimed that raw silk at present prices
is much higher In comparison with pre-
war conditions than is true Of cotton
and wool. Manufacturers claim that II
is hopeless to expect that silks can be
sold for prices relatively higher than
tnose OF other textiles. The hesitancy
Of retailers and cutters up to enter the
market is proof that they are waiting
for further concessions.
Material Improvement was noted In
the cntirr knit goods industry and its
position Is stronger than II has been for
n long time. Knitted outerwear for
women moved In fair volume. while
mems wear was quiet. Womens arti-
fetal silk slip on sweaters lead in sales
volume for tho week. Although bathing
suit manufacturers nominally find this
period a sack one. they reported a con-
tinued demand for fill-in goods Neck
. wear moved in better volume from man
ufacturers' hands because. 1t was said. OF
last moment demand for Easter stocks
Knitted ties received the major share
OF attention compared with cut silk. De-
spite unfavorable weather conditions
spring underwear sales justified jobbcrs
enthusiasm. The East and the West
we're the principal buyers.
From the viewpoint of the clothing
mon the most favorable development
-As the settlement Of the Chicago labor
controversy. And In holding this view
heu az MT oil In s,4rp ha
one the clothing trade Is a good barom-
eter OF conditions In primary textile mar
Isets and in dry goods circles and IL Il
does no more the settlement viii act as
constructive factor for rcadjustment
in other lines. Renewed activity in Wall
street also Is said 10 be an indication OF
q better business future and IL follows
that textiles will get their share OF sue
cs@.

GENTRY BROS. DOG AND PONY
CIRCUS DREW BIG GROVE

Delta and vicinity were favored by
visit from Gentry Bros. dog and
pony show this week on Wednesday,
and despite the fact that it was the
day after the national birthday a
splendid crowd was in town and it is
said that it was the second largest
which they have had so far this sea-
son.
A great many trained animal tricks
were put on including many old ones
and some new ones: also some good
trapeze and tight rope work Consid-
cradle amusement was created in the
early part of the performance by the
lady" who made herself extremely
busy with her osculatory advances to-
wards the male element who visited
the show Several of the ladies be-
came quite incensed over the atten-
tion paid their husbands.

AVOIDED OFFICERS AND
WALKED INTO TRAP

On Wednesday night Of last week
prohibition officers and state rangers
visited the home of Martin Gregorich
at Somerset and found a quantity of
mash, whiskey and a full-fedged still
Gregorich escaped from the officers
and hot chase followed all the way
to Delta. The officers however took
in Mrs. Gregorich and her three chill
dren and brought them along.
At Paonia it is understood the fee
ing man hired a party to bring him
to Delta with the car and on advice
received from the officers at Somerset
the entrances to Delta were blockad-
ed. The sheriff's Office and its assis-
of morning colored the eastern hori-
zon and, like the early fishermen, had
got nothing in their nets. They pick
ed up all kinds of Joy riders including
young folks, old folks and mixed
parties.
The man who drove the car turned
of the road towards Peach Valley and
the prisoner abandoned it owing to
some mechanical disadvantage. Next
morning Gregorich attempted to slide
into the county Judges office to in
quire as to what had happened to his
wife and three young fledglings and
fell into the hands of the sherif's Of
fice. The said family was being ten
derly cared for at the city Jail
1t is said this is the second offense
of Gregorich of this nature and he will
be tried for violating the federal law
by Judge Welch, United States
Commissioner.

and colder temperature would serve
to defeat the ball team who went to
Ouray for an engagement with the
team at that place on the Fourth OF
July reports from those who attended
say that it yas the snappiest game
seen this season. Bilbrough was in
the box for Delta and allowed only
two hits, striking out fifteen men.
Nicholson was in his usual good form
as catcher. The Ouray battery was
Soma and Yirak Soma allowed nine
hits and struck out seven.

PAoNIA's CELEBRATION DREW
A Big CROWD TUESDAY

In response to the invitation from
Paonia to attend their Fourth of July
celebration between fifteen hundred
and two thousand persons journeyed
to the heart of the fruit belt and
spent the day. Most of them went
early and stayed late. The weather
was ideal, the roads were very good
and the hospitality of the people was
fully up to the standard. There was
band music all day and concert in
the evening. There were a number
of street sports and prizes for the
winners and parade at eleven
o'clock. The Paonia American Le-
gion float won recognition as the first
winner. There were scores of picnic
parties who enjoyed the dinner at
noon and the crowd then repaired to
the new park where a ball game took
place between Somerset and Paonia,
the former winning by the narrow
margin of 121O.
Following the ball game several
bucking contests were held. In the
evening fireworks, picture shows, box
ing and wrestling exhibitions and
dancing were in order till midnight.
After the ball game a bronco bust
ing and racing exhibition was held
for short time and following are the
winners.
Dave Dove Of Crawford qualified on
riding Lady Green" and also volun-
teered to ride "Dago Red" owned by
Will ]. Davis. "Dago Red" won first
money on being hard-bucking horse
18th ~
money in the surcingle ride.
The winners in the races are as fol-
lows: Cow horse, first place, Henry
Tefft of Paonia. Free for all. Dunn of
Hotchkiss. Quarter mile, Dunn of
Hotchkiss. Pony race. Henry Tefft.
Athletic Event Was Pleasing.
The first number on the program
of the evening at the athletic carnival
was four-round go between Kid
Roady Of Norwood and Peachy Rule
of Paonia. The first two rounds
Roady was the aggressor. but Rule
swung into line for the next two and
bout was the best of the evening, so
far as real sport went.
The battle royal in which Roady,
Humphrey, Tayes, Castell and McKen-
ma mixed was satisfying to the large
crowd McKenna was the victor in
the engagement.
Roy Owens of Somerset was on
hand to take on most anybody, but
his opponent, it was stated, failed to
make his appearance.
A twenty-minute wrestling exhibi-
ton was staged between Sankey of
Delta and "Chick" Bartlo of Somerset.
1t was case of young against an old
head Bartlo's weight was given as
130 pounds and Sankey as 127. The
mixup was a pleasing one. and if the
contest had been for a decision it,
would have been pretty hard to tell
Just which one of them would have
been the winner.
The main go of the evening was a
scheduled 10-round boxing exhibition
between John Mccarthy of Delta and
Jim Denny of Los Angeles. Denny
was in no shape to meet Mccarthy
and showed it throughout the six
rounds that the exhibition lasted.
Denny is touted as an old head at the
game he stated. but has not been in
training for some time. He was game
throughout the six rounds and gave
the fans the best which he could de-
liver Harry Evans of Somerset, was
the referee.
Paulicheck of Paonia and Blodgett
of Delta. weights given as 145 and
10 respectively, battled for three
rounds.
