Deer were plentiful and Mrs. Pifer
says her husband could steady his
shotgun on the top of the lower door
and bring down his supply Of venison
at any time.
Reviewing some of her early asso-
Citations, Mrs. Pifer. whose mind at rs
is as keen as 1t was at 35 when she
came to this country, mentions a num-
Der of people who still make their
homes here.
The Pifer home was the only settle
ment in that neighborhood and when
ever they saw people coming they
knew they were coming to their place,
as there was no where else near there
to go.
w. A Shepherd, T. H. Mower and
his son Clarence, who was just boy,
she says, frequently came there to
spend an outing.
About two months during the year
the water was very high and there
was but the one place to cross which
was at their place. However, Newton
and Herb Castle operated ferry
across the river At that time the
Gunnison river was wide, covering the
whole of what is now North Delta
section, and was a mile in width
These men would carry a man and he
was permitted to carry twenty pounds
of groceries paying 81 for the service.
They landed their passesgers just
north OF town where the electric light
plant now stands.
The high water continued much
longer than 1t does now, as there was

Prominent among those to whom
the call of the wild and woody West
proved irresistible were Mrs. Rose
Pifer and her husband, Nelson Pifer.
Mrs. Pifer claims the distinction of
in what is now Delta county and at
that time there was but one Indian
woman in the neighborhood.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pifer came to this sec
tion in 1882. They came direct to
Denver from Pennsylvania, taking the
train to Buena Vista, thence to Wes-
ton and then to st. Elmo. After a
wagon and team to the western slope
and established claim near Ward
creek where they made their home
for a number of years. Pifer died in
1889 and his widow, with her sister,
Mrs. Mary V. Walker, who with her
husband came in 1887, still make their
home in Delta on Meeker street. Mr..
Walker died eight years ago The
Pliers moved to Delta in 1888.
There were no game laws affecting
this part of the domain at that time
and Mrs. Pifer recites that she and
her husband lived on wild game, chief
ly venison. She says when they went
to the field to work they left the lower
half of the door closed and the upper
half open to admit air. The door was
made in two sections for that purpose,
and by closing the lower half they
kept the hogs out OF the house, for
they were not members of that family

While the Pliers lived there John
Hart went over into Hart's Basin and
settled and they were neighbors. The
Harts and Pliers took turns going
down to Delta about once a month
for the mail and groceries, and after
the high water had subsidized of course
they could come over any time by
fording.

Nothing so stirs the desires of man
kind to get out and enjoy the great
out-of- doors as the kodak pictures and
movies of the great winter sports of
skiing, snowshoeing, and skating. In
winter sports the physical joy of liv-
ing is at it's height; there is no doing
on the lake front, no lounging in the
open-air soft drink parlors, none of
the ianguor that goes with the sunny
beach scenes-everythin is vigorous,
healthful action, games that try the
alacrity and strength of men and

Ranger Sucher and a group of peo-

VICIOUS BONUS SYSTEM
REVIVED BY SANTA FE

Topeka, kan.-The anti-union San
ia Fe railroad will revive the bonus
system, and more turmoil among
strikebreaking shop men is predicted.
The management is desperate be-
cause of failing equipment. Crops are
ready to move, but cars are not being
repaired. In May the freight car de-
partment turned out 80 less cars than
in March. A recent report by this
department show shat i,170 workers
of all kinds are employed, as COM
pared with $50 prior to July l, 1922,
when the shop men suspended work.
But with this large increase in the
freight department, there is so per
cent decrease in output.
The bonus system means favoritism
and a development of all the petty
spites and small meanness that a
certain kind of foremen are capable
of. Concessions will be awarded ia
vorites and the high mark set by one
man will be considered the standard
for all employees.

LOGAN COUNTY SHERIFF
HAS WORKER DIScH ARGED

Charleston, w. Va.-D0n Chain,
sheriff Of Logan county, and chief Of
the coal miners gun men in that Sec
ton, has such power that he can
compel the discharge of a worker who
offends him.
The "Americanism" that exists in
Logan county is indicated by this
story published in the Charleston
Mail:
"W. p. Blankenship of Logan called
at the office of Attorney General Eng
land and reported that he had just
been banished from Logan county be-
cause he had been 'upholding the
rights of free speech
He said he had been employed by
the Kentucky and West Virginia pow
e rcompany up to last Friday, when
he was discharged. The company,
he said, explained to him that though
his work had been satisfactory, Sheriff
Don Chain had notified them to dis
charge him. He said he left Logan
with his wife and child at 3 a. m,
Saturday, because he was afraid to
leave in daylight.
He reported that another employe
of the power company, an electrician,
named f. b. Eversole. was whipped
by Sheriff Chain and Deputy Sheriff
Lewis Chain last week because he
had said something against the sher-
if."

CROOKED POLITICIAN
is ALWAYS FOE TO
LAW ENFORCEMENT

By International Labor News Service.
Washington.-The crooked politi-
clan, with his machine, is always ar
rayed against law enforcement, AS
slstant Attorney General John w.
IL. Grim told the alumni association
of William and Mary College.
Mr.. Grim asserted that the va
rious processes of the Federal De-
partment of Justice have a peculiar
attraction for professional politicians
and their number increases in direct
ratio with the increase of the De-
partment's work He added that the
Department of Justice should be re-
moved from politics and that the At
torney General should be taken out
of the cabinet and given longer
tenure of office.
Condemning the saddling of police
responsibility ON the Federal govern
ment, Mr.. Grim declared that the
attempt of Federal officers to do po-
lice work in local communities result
ed in the vanishing of the citizens
sense of responsibility for local self
government. Another result, he said
is that the officers of the Federal
government are so occupied with local
matters that affairs essentially ma
tional are neglected.
IL doubt" continued Mr.. Grim, off
any one knows within any fair degree
of approximation how many Federal
detectives there are. Their classical
ton on the payrolls of the several de-
partments and bureaus precludes
their identification. 1t will suffice to
say that there are thousands of them,
and that the task of maaagin~ them is
one that would make the founders of
the republic shudder.'

another unhappy scene in the judges
court room when both mother and

cision.
Probably no one will question the
wisdom of the judges decree in tenn

will come forward to aid him in carry

which have cost workers $4,000 00l
during the past few years, the Penn.
sylvania State Federation of Labor
has unanimously decided to, employ
the services of an expert cooperative
advisor. This advisor will not only
assist workers by ferreting out the
fake cooperatives, but will aid in or.
ganizing genuine cooperative enter
prises.
This significant action of the Fed
GRAFTON at its recent annual conven.
ton at Harrisburg followed the re-
commentator made by President
James Maurer that a practical man
should be put on, the job who VII be
able to give competent instruction or
the every day problems of cooperative
associations.

lily capable of doing this work,

without much cost. In most every
instance where cooperatives are start.

Of course, to succeed 1t Is also i'm.
portant that the enterprise be sur.
rounded by healthy number of CO.
operative patrons.
cooperative failures work not only
hardship upon the individual mem.

ventures. |, therefore, feel that it Is

the future the rank and file will know
where to look for information and
guidance"
While local trade unions, such as
the. United Mine Workers of Penn

cooperative experts the Pennsylvania
Federation of Labor is the first state
labor organization to appoint an adj
visor to assist worthy cooperatives.
