No Cause for Alarm.

The Provo Enquirer Of last even
ing contains the following:
"rhe sand bags stin remain in the
Jordan river and otstTuct the waters
Of the lake. The two commissioners
Of Utah County objected strenuously
te having the sand bags placed In
the bed Of the river at all; they feared
that il would prove damaging to
this county in the spring when high
waters began. sSalt Lake County
has the same number of commission
srs as Utah County, there was a tie
vote on the question, and, under the
agreement Of 1855, the disinterested
commissioner from Davis County
was called in and cast his vote with
the Salt Lake party, which secured
the right to place the obstruction In
the Jordan river and thus keep back
the waters Of the lake
There Is great dissatisfaction on
the part Of the farmers Of Utah
County, owing 20 this dam in the
JOrian, as they fear serious results
therefrOm. 1t will be seen, how
ever, that the Utah County men,
bers Of the commission are not in
any way responsible for 1t being
there. They objected 10 the ar
rangement quite as much as their
constituents do now, but under the
agreement between the two coun-
ties, they had TO give in by the vote
Of the nIau from Davis County.
We hope, however, that the repre-
sentatives Of this county on the
water question will see that the
waters Of the lake do not exceed the
limits specified in the agreement,
viz: Three feet and three and a
half inches above low water mark.
The last measurement shows that
the water Is withiR twenty inches
Of the compromise line, and rs yet
very little Of the winter SHOWS have
melted.o
The commissioners on this side Of
the county line, as well as other
menof good judgment and expert
ence are positive in their assertions
that the Utah County farmers have
no occasion 70 worry over an al
legged prospect Of serious results from
high water They call attention 10
the provision in the last paragraph
Of the article quoted, and saw that
it Is an ample protection. n high
water comes the waterways on the
Salt Lake County side Of the dam
are sufficient to carry Off safely
a much larger quantity Of the
fluid than had to be handled In 1885
when the surplus canal was made.
The claim is also made that what
ever uneasiness exists is caused by
parties who are anxious to create
strife, and that there is no warrant
for their action. While there Il a
prospect for plenty OF water, there Is
no apparent danger Of floods.

impossible for us 10 speak knowing
" Of the merits Of the various arti-

Particularly is this true Of patent
medicines. But there are excep-
lions occasionally, and q noteworthy
exception Is the celebrated Cham
berlaln's Cough Remedy. This now
universally known medicine has
hecn advertised IN the GTdphsc for
four or five years, hut not until
recently had we any personal
knowledge Of its wonderful efficacy,
which has come about through thu
prevailing Influenza and the stub
horn cough that has - often attend
ed It. In the writer's family thir
medicine has, on several occasions
this winter, cured a cough that
hafiied any and all other remedies;

remedy hus been used with like

The charter Of the city allows them TO 70.
ceive such compensation, In addition 10
the $3.50 per session, for committee work,
as the Council may see ft to grant them.
In regard to tho Comptroller, tho Coun.
ell Is empowered by an ordinance to grant
him extra pay for services as superintcnd.
ent Of the public cemetery. His salary
therefore for the past year was $1,000,
besides the pay he received as member OF
the Board OF Supervisors. His salary az
Comptroller Is fixed by the Council, and
can not exceed $1,000. There 10 some
doubt In our mind as to whether the or.
dinance, in regard to granting him extra
pay as superintendent OF the cemetery,
is legal. The Council evidently believed
II was or they would not have granted II.
The Tribunc's destinations about the al
demen robbing the city are unjust, and II
should not make statements about other
places until II Ia better informed.
