Seventy tickets were sold at Delta Sunday. John D. Heydt, one of the moneyed mon-eyed men of St. Loius, and the first president of the Oasis company, com-pany, was a visitor in Delta. Mr. Heydt owns the section of land on the west side that of his nephew, Herman Monster, works, and put up the first house on the west side. He notes a big improvement since he was here last spring and believes this is the most promising project in the west. He knows of no section where land of this qual Ity on the railroad and so close to a good market can he bought for as low a price. Mr. Heydt has taken a good block of stock in the new bank. He is taking back with him a couple o'fl badgers for I the St. Loius zoo, as samples of Utah's wild animals. He contribu- ted a couple of big grizzlies to the zoo last winter and expects to send other animals as he can get them. A great many new buildings are being erected on the west side. Residences, barns, granaries, etc., are being built all over the tract. J. J. Clark has just got into his new bungalow and the occasion was celebrated by a party which was attended by all the neighbors neigh-bors and a fine time was had. We also noted that Mr. Clark has 20 stacks of wheat on his farm which indicates a bountiful harvest. We don't know any one who deserves a big harvest more than Mr. Clark.
