The Salt Lake Route painters were here the first of the week brightening up the company's property. J. E. Hunter, of Fillmore, who purchased a car of hogs in this vicinity shipped them to market last Wednesday. Contractor Ira Hinckley was here the first of the week looking over the railroad right-of-way extension ex-tension with a view of taking the grading contract. J. W. Robins returned last week from Duchesne, Ut., where he went to plaster a "residence for attorney Holenbeck who was formerly located in Delta. Engineers are now busy cross sectioning the railroad right-of-way on the new line to be completed com-pleted from Delta into the Abraham Abra-ham country and grading will soon begin. The little five-weeks-old baby boy of J. W. Robins died last Tuesday afternoon and was buried bur-ied yesterday afternoon in the Delta cemetery. The little one contracted whooping cough and it was followed by complications which caused it's death. Mr. and Mrs. Robins havd the sympathy sym-pathy of all in their misfortune. misfor-tune. Three emigrant cars are due to arrive here today or tomorrow from Southern Cali. A Mr. Hilliard and son will bring in two of the cars and will locate on section 22 near Sugarville, and Mr. Robinson will bring in the third car. He will locate on an 80 in section 29 which he recently purchased from the Delta Company. Com-pany. We are gladto "''welcome these new settlers to the "Greater "Great-er Delta" country. Mrs.. Fred Finlayson, of Provo, who has a son located near Hinckley and who has been visiting visit-ing him, stopped off in Delta last Tuesday on her way home. Mrs. Finlayson was a visitor to this project about five years ago and says she sees a vast change in the appearance of the country in the past five years. She is very enthusiastic in regard to the development of the "Greater Delta" country and its future prospects and is contemplating the purchase of some more land in this vicinity. I. had the pleasure of visiting the Jimpson & Bunker Ranch last week, and gave it a very thorough inspection. I must say to start off with that this is one of the nicest large tracts on the project. fhe ranch contains 240 acres of Carey Act land with 33 acres additional, owned jointly by John Jimson, Jr. andD. A. Bunker. Bunk-er. These men have spent many thousands of dollars on this farm, , . improved it, enhanced its value, - and are just beginning to enter the era when returns will, take care of them. They raised last year 200 tons of alfalfa; this is farming on a large scale. As an experiment they raised 39 bushels bush-els of alfalfa seed off a little dob. I don't know how small, but it was so encouraging that this year if conditions favor, and the wisest heads wag in sanction, they wiil try for seed on a large scale. Be it remembered that this farm adjoins the tract of land to be operated this year by E. D. Hashimoto, Japanese banker bank-er and labor contractor from Salt Lake City. I can give the Jimpson Jimp-son & Bunker ranch no stronger recommendation than to say that it is identically similar to the land chosen by Mr. Hashimoto to grow sugar beets on. That he would not select other than suitable suit-able land goes without argument, for his countrymen are' experienced experi-enced beet growers. I noticed that Jimpson & Bunker Bunk-er have nine pig pens of the "A" type, individual pens; also ten pens of the usual shed type. I further noticed cement pig troughs, so arranged that Mr. Porker could drink but not wallow; wal-low; everything about the place well constructed, orderly, showing show-ing thought and adaptability to the end they are striving for. They have 200 acres under cultivation and over 145 acres in to a good stand of alfalfa; did I say a good, stand? Bunk will riddle the scurvy skallywag whc won't admit that from the 3 years old down to the crop only 1 year old' it is all an exceptionally fine stand. And Jimp will mangle that wretch's frame by walking over him rough shod with his hot nail boots on. It takes a good deal of faith in a country for two men to sink all their thousands into a farm, and keep it up through thick and thin; Jimpson & Bunker have spent a fortune there, and that mind you not during times when i all was smooth sailing. Dif-r Dif-r couragement is a word they never use; their feet are as warm now ; as if they were banking the first : dividend check off the farm; and persistent boosters to the marrow. ; That they have faith that they i will win out every body sees, and . to such sticktuitiveness success . is merited. The interests of Jimpson & Bunker are not . limited to their holdings in this farm only, but from the time the Oasis Land & , Irrigation Co. launched the pro-; pro-; ject to the present, these men ; have steadily invested, added a little here, bought something . there, until now they are conceded conced-ed to be in the foremost ranks of ; the public spirited men of the ; community, owning with their i associates town lots, this farm, the Dunsmore Hotel, and exten-, exten-, sively interested with the Hub ; Mercantile & Produce Co. When- ever any matter comes up de-- de-- manding energy and a liberal . purse, and the petitioner always ; finds them fathering the good , of the community. I should like to give the Jimpson Jimp-son & Bunker farm that due which it merits; I should like to , bring out in this effort all I noted; not-ed; but space and time are limited, limit-ed, and with the promise to revert re-vert to it again, possibly and pre-, pre-, ferably after the harvest of this year is gleaned and that degree of success is acheieved which is properly theirs, I will let the foregoing suffice for the time being, and do subject better . justice on the occasion. , Beckwith FOR RENT-300 shares desert i water at $.50 per share.
