TRADING CO.
WILL CLOSE UP BUSINESS

A w. Reinecke representing the ].
S. Brown Mercantile company OF Dem
YER. called on the Coop. Trading
Company of Delta. and after an inves-
tigation of the affairs of that COM
pany. it was decided best to discon-
tinue business under the present firm
name, and to appoint Starr Nelson as
trustee for all creditors alike, to close
up the affairs OF the company.
Mr.. Nelson was forced to take
charge upon the resignation Of Mr..
Osborne November 81. 1921. and
since that time has been managing
the affairs Of the company. The firm
was badly involved at that time, and
though Mr.. Nelson has been able to
operate at small profit and has
paid some $500 on back indebted
ness. his inability to collect outstand-
ing notes and accounts. and lack Of
patronage from stockholders made II
impossible to reduce Indebtedness ~
rapidly as required by the whole
salers, with the above result.
There will be q meeting of stock
holders March 18th at o'clock at the
Christian church, at which time Il
will be decided as to what action, Il
any viii be taken in the matter.

NO HOPE FOR PosTPoNEMENT
OF OPENING DATE PROJECT

All hope for further postponement
of the opening date of the Reclama-
tfon project fled this week when a
letter Just received by Congressman
Taylor from Secretary Fall was made
public. Mr.. Fall says in part as fol-
lows:
"An the projects except the Uncom-
pahgre have had public notices issued,
the latter project having been given
five-year postponement by one of
my predecessors. / must therefore
decline to withhold the issuance of
public notice in this case. II notice
issues the first construction charges
will not be due until December, 1922,
and In the meantime if Congress en-
acts the relief legislation now pend
ing. the Uncompahgre, as well as 9th
er projects can make appropriate
showing which will be considered and
such relief extended as the facts may
seem to warrant.
''As to granting another hearing,
! can see no good purpose that could
be served by another visit to Wash
ington of the representatives of the
project"
