doing everything for the best and I
will never cease to- be grateful for
all you have done for me, but, oh why.
why did you go so late in the after
noon to look into my wall safe? You
might know that was the time Jack
would be home early. Now I'll just
have to have another quarrel with
him about you.
Very Nasty,
friendship ever since Harry deserted
you. He seemed to think that in some
way you were to blame for it all.
tried to make him understand that you
would hardly be to blame for Harry's
running away with anether~woman, at
least that you wouldn't know about
it. But he took that high and
mighty air that most mon have when
one OF their sex goes wrong. 1t is al.
ways search for the woman and. you
happening to be the woman nearest
Harry, Jack was altogether too lazy
to pursue his search any further.
He has been very suspicious ever
since you opened the shop. He is al
ways wondering where you got the
money. He has questioned me very
closely until finally told him that il
knew-and I would not acknowledge
that did, would not tell him.
He said to me, Leslie, insist that
you tell mexall you know about Ruth's
affairs. am not sure that she is
the kind Of woman with whom 1 wish
my wife to associate"

I was rather glad of that, however.

OIL REPORTS NOT
BASED UPON FACTS

Last Sunday there was considerable
stir hereabouts relative to the well
which is drilling on the Eckert stuc-
ture. 1t appeared that some very Ell
thusiastc spectators at the well be-
came so elated as to. really see signs
of oil on the bit as she came up out of
mother earth. The rumor spread rap
idly and it was soon a decided fact
in the minds Of some.
Mr., NIcMillen, local manager of the
Mid-Colorado company said Monday
there was absolutely no foundation up
on which to base such a report. Oper-
atoms have been at a standstilI for the
past two days.
Just when drilling will he resumed,

day The depth Of the hole is now

It is to be hoped that the hole will
be put down a sufficient depth to re-

c. G. MILES KILLED
BY GRASPING WIRE

Another tragedy snuffed out the
life OF one of the young men of Delta
early Thursday morning when CIar-
ence G. Miles. working in the gravel
pits near the bridge. was killed by a
live wire which had been blown loose
by the high wind during the night.
Mr.. Miles, with others OF the crew.
was working at the gravel pit about
seven o'clock Thursday morning. A
team was ready to go out with a load
and Mr. Miles stepped up to pull
dangling wire out of the way. His
companions were then Mortified to see
him fall thrown by the heavy charge
of electricity through the wire.
Though every method of resuscita-
tion was used they We're unable to re-
vive the unfortunate man
Mr. Miles was a well known Young
man and the many friends of the fam.
ily Join in extending their sympathy.
Mr.. Miles was about twenty-five
years of age and was married his
wife being a daughter Of Charles Bet
lis. Besides his Wife he leaves a
small baby. He was a splendid Young
man and highly admired by all who
knew him.

DELTA'S PAVED
STREETS ARE
ABOUT FINISHED

With the completion Thursday Of the
block of paving between Third and
Fourth streets on Main. but one block
-emains to be done, the southern
most block which does not have a
great deal Of surface to be paved as
the center parking makes the actual
roadway narrower. This week will
see the work all done. The surfacing
of the half blocks in the residence
sections has not yet been completed.
The city on Thursday paid out $50
600 on the contract to the contractors
and the engineer OF the job. This is
the third payment, though both 9TH
ers were smaller payments
The exact cost of the improvement.
Of course. will not be known until the
work is completed for the contracts
were let for the units Of work to be
done rather than the whole amount.
The estimate was that the paving
would cost $50 500. the intersections
$4,000 and the water improvements
$500. The total cost will probably
be less than these amounts; it is
certain it will not be more.
Already the attitude Of strangers to
Delta is changing. Travellers visiting
here now have time to look at some
thing else in town besides the main
street. and they find much that
pleases them. The improvement in
the looks of the town is worth paw
ing for.
Wider sidewalks, a lower street.
good curbings all along and the
smooth surface of the street combine
to make the effect of the whole town
different. It looks like a progressive.
businesslike place instead Of a run
down village and the stores and the
other buildings have a chance TO show
themselves off as they never have
had before.
The paving will be formally cele-
brated Armistice Day when the cele-
bration planned by the Legion and the
Chamber of Commerce will take place
no the street, with all kinds of sports
which could not have been held on the
old time rough street.
