HHE most typical sign of to-day is the

Everything that Is seems to be in the air. We

classes, politics and cults are as nearly alike

our presses and sell by the ton, but they, too,
take nowhere. The books, if they are wise
books, only ask questions. One of the wisest
Of these books is called "The Social Trend"
1t is written by Professor Edward A. Ross, of
the University of Wisconsin. In this book he
propounds q dozen questions which only time
and the cropping heart of the people can an

when whole races may be moved from one end
Of the globe to the other by cheap transporta-
tion? What about birth control when free
land Is no longer available and opportunity to
rise is limited? Why are the farms not fur
nisning the land with brains, as they were q
generation ago? What are we going to do
without frontier? And womanis she to
prosper decline in the new world? Is pr-

Is prohibition q moral or an economic issue?
These and many other questions are raised in
Professor Ross's new book-boldly raised
bravely stated and sometimes left for life TO
answer.
But the book, which is sign Of the times.
should be read by all of u.s. for not till our
generation meets these questions, not till it
1ormuIates some answer for them, shall we

MILTON r.. WEIGH
For Supreme Court Judge

Delta Independent, July 81, 1929
Judge Milton R. Welch, at the ear
nest solicitation of number of prom
inent attorneys on the Western slope,
! has decided to become candidate
| before the Republican State Assem-
| bly, for the office of one of the Su-
preme Judges of Colorado. The West
ern slope has no representative on the
Supreme Bench at the present time
and the people of the Western slope
feel that they are entitled to repre-
sentation on the Supreme Bench; and
as far as known at the present time,
there is no other candidate from the
Western slope.
Judge Welch is eminently qualified
for this position, having been a resi-
dent of Colorado for over forty years
and has been engaged in general prac-
tice of the law for over twenty-eight
years at Delta, Colorado.
Milton R. Welch, was educated in
the high school of Knoxville, Iowa,
and in the Knoxville Academy and
afterward became student in the
University of Colorado, where he pur-
sued his law course and was graduate
with the class of 1S49, with a degree
of Bachelor of Laws. In that year a
gold medal had been offeerd to stu
dents of all the law schools in the
State by Judge Moses Hallett for the
one passing the best final examina-
ton, and this distinction was won by
Judge Welch, an honor of which he is
still justly proud.
Soon afterwards he located at Delta
and entered upon the active practice
Of his profession, in which he has
since continued. In 1895 he was elect
ed county judge for a three years
term, was reelected in 1898 anG
again in 1901, so that he served con
tinuously upon the bench for period
of nine years. His decisions were
characterized by a masterful grasp of
every problem presented for solution
and by marked equity. He was strict
ly fair and impartial in all of his
rulings and his opinions were sus-
tanned by higher courts upon appeal
Since his retirement from the bench
he has been engaged in profitable
private practice, being accorded q
large law clientage.
! Judge Welch has held number OF
important positions, which he has
filed with marked ability. He was
appointed United States Commission
er by Judge Hallett over twenty-five
years ago and has held this position
ever since. He was a member of tn,
Board of Trustees in the State Nor
NAL School, appointed by Governo
Mcdonald in 1905, and served unit
1911, and at the present time is Coun
ty Attorney for Delta County.
4 Judge Welch has been active in tn
development of the Western slope, hi
hobby he'no the reclamation of deser
lands. He has made profound stud,
| Of the law of irrigation and is recog
,ized as an authority on that subject

The pearl button was first manufac-

celain, skim milk, glass, metals and
seaweed. The total button sales each
year in America alone are more than

GREAT ACTIVITY AT
THE ROOSEVELT
Pitkin Miner.

Pitkin Miner.
There is much activity down around
the Roosevelt Tunnel, preparations
being made to put up mill in the
next ninety days, and they will no
doubt have to be "going some" to do
it. The company has closed deal
for the Sandy Hook mill which was
put up a few years ago at a cost of
$4,000, but we understand that the
Roosevelt company bought the mill
at decided bargain. 1t is Stamp
mill with amalgamation and concen-
tration, and all the machinery is in
perfect condition, as it was used but
short time.
The new mill site has been sur
veyed, and the moving and recon-
struction of the mill will be started
as soon as the foundation is finished.
A road leading to the upper part of
the mill site has been completed.
some timber has been cut and a saw
mill put up at the dump, so the COM
pany is getting in shape for some ef-
fective work.
The crew that had been working at
the Camp Bird since the first of the
year has been transferred over to the
Roosevelt to help push the mill con-
struction and Mrs. Plewis, who was
running the Camp Bird boarding
house, is now in charge of the board
ing house at the Roosevelt.
We understand that a millwright,
to supervise the mill construction,
will be on the job in few days, when
stone masons and carpenters will be
put to work and several teams, or
motor trucks, employed in moving
the mill building and the machinery.
Yes, the Roosevelt people are sure
doing things
