DELTA'S POULTRY HOUSE
is BOON TO COMMUNITY

From time to time we have express
sed the belief that poultry raisers and
the public in general do not fully ap-
preciate the LeMarr & Bell poultry
house which was erected two or three
years ago at considerable expense.
Owing to the fact that potatoes and
produce of all kinds have brought such
miserable return, If any at all. these
poultry raisers have found at least
one avenue of income which is unus-
ually good.
The LeMarr poultry house shipped
during the first three weeks of No
vember. three cars of live chickens to
the coast. and will have at least as
many more to ship.
They have shipped two cars of
dressed turkeys and another will go
this week. When you consider. that
car contains 10000 pounds, you can
imagine that vast deal of money has
found its way into the purses of poul-
try raisers through this house.
|, The first of this week chickens.
ducks. geese and turkeys were being
gathered and held at the plants in
Delta and Grand Junction. the latter
place being opened last week, and as
soon as cars can be obtained the
shipping will be resumed.
There were on the floor $4,000
pounds OF live poultry. roughly esti-
mated at 5000 head. and they furnish
ed music In various keys varying from
high soprano Of the hen and rooster,
to the basso of the ducks. interspersed
here and there with the quavering
treble of the turkeys. 1t was sight
to see, and we may add. harmony
(?) to hear.
LeMarr & Bell will commence build
ing new batteries Immediately after
this rush is over. so that they will
have a full car capacity in the build
ling.
/ The management states that they
have handled five times the amount
OF poultry which they did last year,
paying &c live weight straight thru
1.-THE season.

SHEEP HERDER Is STRUCK Al =
KILLED BY UNKNOWN DRIVER

Manuel Mastes, sheep herder EN-.
ployed for the past year and half
by Ross Allen Of Rogers mesa, met
death Wednesday morning when he
was struck head on by an auto driven
at a terrific .rate OF speed, as re-
counted by spectators, thrown from
his saddle horse, and sustained a
fractured skull and injuries to his
back from which he died two and a
half hours later.
Mastes was riding along the road
headed west, and the car approached
from the west. The accident occur
red in front of the Hurst school house.
the driver of the car did not stop and
the injured man was picked up by
Charles Hurst and others who hap
pened to be in the vicinity and rushed
to Hotchlxiss for medical attention.
which proved unavailing.
Opinions vary as to the make Of
car some saying 1t was a Ford. some
a Dodge and some Buick six. Wit
nesses agree that the speed was some
where from forty to fifty miles an
hour. A peculiar coincidence is that
this accident was in the vicinity Of
the place where Frances Hurst was
run down and narrowly escaped death
several months ago.

munity Rooms the Delta Rotarians
very elaborately entertained visiting
Rotarians from Paonia, Montrose and
Grand Junction and the Delta Lions.
\ Mrs. M. r. Perkins served a delight.
full turkey dinner of which more than
125 partook.
The Rotarians entertained with
songs, jokes, etc.
A. II. Lichty, vice president of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company, and
handling the Human Factor In Indus
try" question was the principal
speaker of the evening.
Mr.. Lichty deals exclusively with
this problem. He told of the plan
which his company put into operation
about seven years ago giving to the
employee joint representation with
the employer for the purpose of iron
ing out disputes and settling many.
many little differences which arise
among the workmen.
He said their plan was not perfect,
yet vast amount of good had been
accomplished and the spirit among the
men improved.
Mr.. Lichty, while a very able man,
emphasized the fact that he spoke
from the standpoint OF a student and
not as an expert. He was interesting
and carried with every word he utter.
ed a deeper insight pto the human
OF all men, regardless of
the position which they occupied in
society.
His work has carried him to every
large coal mining camp. iron. steel, oil
and manufacturing plant in the Unit
ed States and even into Canada. He
secures the facts from the employees
themselves and has gradually reached
the vice presidency of his immense
steel and coal mining company. There
is not the slightest appearance of a
brass collar" about him He talks
convincingly and fully expresses. his
sincerity.
Whether the industry be large or
small. he said the relationship is the
same. When workmen are given all
the facts. he said, and an opportunity
TO exercise their own best judgment
employees viii do the fair thing.
He reviewed the strikes which have
taken. place in the nation and which
in his opinion could have been avoid
ed had a closer relationship existed
between the two factions. The mag
net. he continued, has the response
for taking the initiative and holds
within its own grasp the things which
II encounters. The question today !s
one which we are to determine
whether our nation is to go forward
by evolution or revolution. The fu-
ture outlook is most hopeful and much
has been accomplished. yet much re-
mains to be done.
He told of the recent strikes from
which years would be required to get
us back to where we were and with
absolutely nothing gained. He cited
some things to us right here. namely.
the great inconvenience of our trans
portation. brought about by two con.
tending factions-labor and capital
result OF great loss to farmers and
fruitgrowers alike.
