The buildings are new and few, but the good old Delta grease-wood grease-wood was flourishing, right in the -middle of the street. We think this picture was taken in 1912, for the simple reason that the light two-story building is the Banque Hotel (now Sharp Apts.), and according to old files of the Chronicle the building was put up in 1912 by James A. Kelley. At front, right, is the August Miller building, and X marks the newly started building by Billie Van de Vanter. Next is the Presby terian Church. Then there is a gap that looks short in the picture, but is now filled by the Mercer building, Third West and Clark Street intersection, Telluride, Pace building, Gem Cafe, Van's Jewelry, Killpack's barber shop, and D. Stevens & Co. The Banque Hotel, much enlarged and remodeled through the years, comes next. In the next block is the one story cement block building, then the Eccles building, with the BAKERY sign. Above that is the roof and bell of the old Delta First Ward. Across the road is Law's second store, and a block beyond is his first store. At the left side of the picture is the north side of Clark Street now Main Street. The first build ing is Del Searle's meat market and next is the frame Delta Mercantile Mer-cantile Company building. This interesting old picture was lent to us by Mrs. Orson H. Ham mond, whose girlhood was lived in Delta. Mrs. Hammond is the former Constance Van de vanter, and her father, Billie Van de Vanter, sent her the postcard view when she was a little girL Mr. and Mrs. Hammond have lived in Fairbanks, Alaska, for the past ten years They had been to Washington, D.
