FISH AND GAME ASSOCIATION
HOLD INTERESTING MEETING

The July meeting of the Delta Fish
and Game Protective Association was
held Tuesday evening and the PROPOSE
ton of building retaining pond near
Deep Ward lake on Grand Mesa was
carefully gone over.
The Association pledged financial
assistance to the state authorities
when the deails as to the exact size
and the cost of the pond is known.
State Game and Fish Commissioner
Parvin is expected to pay an official
visit to the Cedaredge hatchery dur.
ing the month and plans were made to
have another fish fry at the time of
his visit. The kind of fish with which
to stock the Gunnison river has been
definitely decided upon.
The state authorities as we'll as the
United States authorities have come
to the conclusion that cat fish will be
the most suitable to stock the river
with. Orders have already been plac-
ed for a consignment of same.
The question of native feed for
ducks was taken up and fully discus
sed and it was brought out that wild
rice, which apparently is not detri-
mental to anything and which grows
in swamps and the like. would un-
doubtedly thrive in this particularly
locality.

DELTA HARDWARE COMPANY
HAS FINE. SALE SATURDAY

From point of interest and number
of articles sold the one hour aluminium
sale put on by the Delta Hardware
Company was an unqualified success.
1900 pieces ranging from the smallest
articles to large kettles, dish pans and
buckets, were disposed of in the hour,
or an average of twenty pieces min
ute. The large salesroom was crowd
ed to capacity during the entire time
and it required the attention OF sew
eral clerks and cashiers to take care
of the crowd. Nothing was wrapped,
nothing charged and nothing reserved.
One noticeable feature in connection
with this sale which was different
from other similar affairs was that
there was no hair pulling. snatching
from other peoples hands and appar-
emily no i'll feeling whatever among
the patrons. The utmost order was
preserved throughout.

MATHERs STORE Is OPENING
UP BEAUTY PARLOR

becoming a really metropolitan city
Will H. Mathers is opening up an up
to-date beauty parlor in the rest room
in his dry goods store. The furniture

equipment could have been secured
than that which graces this room.
The tables, chairs and cabinets are
finished in white enamel and violet
ray service complex air blower vibra-
tor and manicure and massage out
fit are among the fixtures. In short
this will be an establishment which
will compare favorably with any SINH

Showed His Teeth.

Showed His Teeth.
Owing to violation of the city water
ing ordinance. the city water dog this
week cut off the water connections
with the lots at the corner of Sixth
and Main, occupied by F. L. Ray.
When the tenant discovered what had
happened he rushed to the city hall
and objected (it is sai6 to paying the
one simoleon fine. After few heated
remarks Mayor Penley showed his
teeth. and in short time persuaded the
objector that the easiest way out or
the difficulty was to cough up and
have it over, which he did. number
of other cases of violation have been
discovered, and paid fines. without OBJ
lection, and unless we mistake, others
will also fall into the dragnet. This
is the only instance reported where
violators have resisted the fine when
they have been turned in. Since the
water dog has been put on the job we
are informed that the indicator at the
city hall has recorded considerably
higher pressure than heretofore.
