DELTA In one week Knight & Marshall have put up Ward's livery stable nnd it is now ready or occupancy. It took them just thirty-eig- days from the time the first nail was driven in the Hotel Delta until the Coopers were serving their first meal there. They are certainly hust-lers. They are now putting up a frame building on their lot next to A. C. Sorenson's, but we have ' been unable to learn what it is to be used for. Delta ward is having special services in the meeting house on Christmas forenoon. They desire to extend a special invitation to (he people of west Delta to come over and join them on this occasi-on. They will not only give them an enjoyable entertainment, they will Kive a Christmas dinner to all who have no relatives or friends with whom they expect to stop. No one is to be a stranger on this occasion, so everyone come. Rev. Geo. W. Martin of Manti and C. H. Hamilton, of Gunnison, two Presbyterian ministers, were in town last week looking into the religious situation here. A bank, financed by eastern capital, and a lumber yard by Colorado people, are two new that will probably be in operation in Detla at an early day. Our mail service south is certain-ly bum. It is carried north to Salt Lake on the midnight train to be carried back the next day. The Chronicle, which is put into the Delta office Thursday morning, reaches Hinckley, five miles away, Saturday at noon. We surely will be glad when the depot is finished and a south-boun- d day train stops here. NEWS OF OUR NEIGHBORS The editor learns that the ten cars of alfalfa seed, valued at $50,000, have been shipped from Oasis this season, and there will probably be that much more when the last threshing is over. Henry Huff and sons are the largest sin-gle shippers. Their output amount-ed to 48,000 pounds. From 19 acres of land Henry Huff threshed 328 bushels of seed - about 17 bushels per acre. The most surprising yield we have heard of is that of James Ide, who tells us he threshed 110 bushels from four acres - - 21 y bushels per acre - - 138 bushels from an adjoining eight acres.Men to whom this story is told say they are from Missouri - - they would like tn have the field measured and see the thresher's record. ' Seed is bringing from' 10 to 12 cents a pound - - the latter figure being paid by Dan Black, buyer for Blackman & Griffin Co. of Og-den. This is for first-cla- ss seed. Milton Moody has also been a buyer. The stork kept Dr. Broaddus quite busy Sunday night, as before midnight he had left a ten-pou-girl at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Skeem, of Oasis, and before morning another little boy at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Terry, of Hinckley. DEATH OF ROA KELLY ERICKSON A shadow of gloom was cast over Deseret last week when it was learned that Roa Kelly, wife of Hiram Erickson, was dead at, Provo. She was taken down sud- - denly on Monday, Nov. 27, with a, former attacks of which had left her susceptible to the disease She passed aw- - ay at 7:30 Dec. 5. Her body was prepared for burial and brought down to Deseret on Thursday and the funeral took place from the meeting house Friday afternoon. The church was crowded with the sorrowing relatives and friends of the deceased, and the casket was banked with flowers, a mute tri-bute from the many who loved her. The deceased would have been 30 years old the 3rd of next January, and was a bride of only a few weeks, having been married to Hi-ram Erickson on the 15th of last October. Chatter Box) Dear Suzy, I suppose that I am just one of many who wondered why the Des-ert Sentinels ever took that name, but this week we can all rest as-sured that they picked an appro-piat- e one. It seems that the local vodellers were asked to go out to Ely and it so happened that they were asked just as the weather man lowered the boom on the thermometer. The return trip was made or attempted to be made by any number of cars but toward morn-ing they were strung along the highway as thick as the empty beer bottles out that way. First we have Speed Rawlinson who drove his car to Ely, and be-cause gas was 2 cents a gallon higher there he figured he could make it back partly on gas and partly on reputation. But hard luck took him over and the gentle cough of the engine about 40 miles from nowhere was the last that party heard of the engine until in the morning when the "old crew came along and gave them some gas. It is not recorded what the thoughts were of the rest of the party in the car when they sat through the ohilly night, wishing Glen hadn't been so tight and had bought gas in Ely. And if they could be recorded it would not be possible to print same. Another car that came to a bad end was Cluff Talbot's and it stop-ped because the noises coming from the engine halted all at-tempts at conversation. Closer in-spection as to the cause of the noise proved that the oil had seep-ed away and there were some bearings rather loose. This car was supposed to bring back Cluff, his wife, Melba Jacobson, Blaine Spend love and Lloyd Schlappi, but like Glen's it sat on the desert all night keeping watch on the time. Luckily this party had along two quilts and some canned heat and according to reports the only dis-sension in the crowd was whether to burn the canned heat or drink it to keep warm. They were all for drinking it but when Cluff wanted to rub his bald head with it another vote was taken and the crowd decided to burn it instead. Attempts were made to keep up morale by telling stories, but the stories got the point where Lloyd said if they told any more like that he would have to go outside while they finished. Not wanting to see Lloyd out in the cold they stopped telling that type of story, only they said they could laugh harder and thus warm up better when the stories had more body to mem. uoya wisnes now that he hadn't stopped them because he says he blushed right down to his toes at some they told and that kept him toasty warm, and some-times in a sweat. Came morning Glen tootled up and towed them into town and it is reported that he didn't charge them. According to those who sat on the desert all night the sunrise is really beautiful if you can en-joy it while shivering so bad the car bounces. Those who stayed over all night also had their troubles also. Ladd Cropper, the baton waver, and George Ekins, and their car loads of people left the next morning but George had trouble with his gas (in the line) when the line froze up and Ladd had to tow him back to Ely for a defrosting job. So now we can see the real rea-son for the name Desert Sentinels. It means that husbands and wives sit up all night worrying while their husbands and wives are spen-ding the night together on the des-ert. John Day must be a jinx and all he must do is take out hunters so that they can get dunked. Last week he took out Earl Kelly and Earl had a, late season bath in nice cold water. This past week he and Earl took out Reed Walker and he got it. It seems that they had plaster-ed a few geese and as Reed was out fumbled he had to go re-trieve them. He did a good job un-til he got almost back and in try-ing to step up on the ice found that the ice was slicker now than it was when he was a kid, and so Reed did a back flop into the water. His moan as he hit was heard in Leamington. Earl and John were equal to the occasion as they both' had enough clothing on to furnish a regiment for winter maneuvers, and so the three stripped down, piled up all the dry clothing and then dressed again hurriedly snatching what articles they thought would fit. It is a good thing that the hunt-ing is over for this year because Snooks, Earl and Reed want to start a society of later season bath ers and were having great difficul-ty getting volunteers. Next year they can catch up as there will be others who like cold water bathing and it is suspected that member-ship will increase. If this keeps up they had better toss a lot of soap chips in Clear Lake next year and do the job up right. Toots.
