The East Golden Gate at Mercur is

WAR ON THE PEDDLERS.
Grocerymen Want the Council to
Tax Them.

Tax Them.
The leading grocery, commission and
fruit fmuns of the city have taken a
positive stand against the peddlers.
who are at present in control of the
local market in everything from an
apple OIL bunch of radishes to a sack
of flour. On Monday night the grocers
effected a permanent organization and
will fight the peddlers through the
city council. Seventy of the lead
ing grocery and commission firms We're
represented at the meeting held at
Thomas "Barnacle" on West Temple
street, and drafted petition to the
council, asking that a license fee of 500
per year be assessed on every wagon or
peddler peddling within the city linn
it's.
The merchants set up in their argu-
ment for the petition that they are
taxed for their goods for their horses
for the water their horses drink, pay
liberal license as merchants. and in
number of ways contribute largely to
the support of the city government,
while the peddlers, the majority of
whom are from Davis county, are al
lowed to drive into the city and peddle
goods from house to house Their line
of goods ranges from green vegetables
to chickens, eggs, -four and oats, all
of which. having no tax or license to
pay, they can retail at a lower price
than the established merchants. They
say that about 200 peddlers are now
doing business in the city, the major
ity of whom come from Davis county;
they come into the city at break of day
and first sell 70 the merchants, then
cover the residence portion and retail
at the same price and often lower.
making it impossible for the grocery
men to sell at a profit. After selling
their produce they camp in the streets
OF the city, water and feed their horses
and drive back to their homes without
contributing in any way to the citv
for its business.

your union do if the mine owners re-
fuse to accede to your demands?''
We shall call our men out and
strike said Mr. Clayton, and every
mine in Mercur that makes a cut will
be closed down.
''FESTINA LEUTE.'
And" continued Mr.. Clayton. ito
the mine owners of Mercur I would
say, 'Festina leute,' which, as 1 pre-
sumo you understand Latin, means
that 1 would advise them to make haste
slowly, for it will be dangerous to push
matters too closely at the present time.
There is not a miner. if he Is of any
account, but that can do good days
work in eight hours, and if he was
obliged to put in ten hours he would
surely soldier away at least an hour or
an hour and a half, but, if put on an
eight-hour shift, he would work on his
honor, and do just as much for the
mine owner as before"
THE FEDERATION.
1.-The Western Federation of Miners"
said Mr.. Clayton, with headquarters
at Butte, Montana, has $4,000 in
its treasury, and the fedora
ton will uphold local organiza-
cause If the Mercur mine owners re-
fuse to pay US the same wages under
the new law that we are now receiving,
strike will be authorized by the adj
visory board at Butte, and a man Will
be sent to Mercur from there to take
charge of and manage the strike, and
until we carry our point the treasury
of the association will be at our dis
posal, even if we use every dollar in
it. The association used $4,000 in car
rying through and making a success
of the Cour d'Alene strike, and $4,000
during the Cripple Creek strike, and it
will spend every dollar in the treasury
before it will see its Utah branches
defeated"
STRENGTH OF THE FEDERATION.
There are 125,OOO members in the
Western Federation" continued Mr..
Clayton. This is the number of
metal workers alone, and does not en-
brace coal miners and other industrial
laborers who belong to the organiza-
ton. The federation has just estab-
lished a foothold in Utah, as the for
mer miners unions were local and I'M
attached. We are comparatively few
in numbers here but that does not
count as we are backed by the fedora
ti0n which is like a solid wall. The
union at Mercur is 600 strong. Park
City has membership of from 500 to
600 and is very strong. Mammoth has
union with about 20 members while
there are no organizations at Bingham
or Eureka
Il do not believe that there will be
any trouble" concluded Mr.. Clayton.

The wayis open to inquire, to investigate.
Why will not every man do so?
There is simple way to cure at home all
those baneful effects of the sins of youth and
the excuses of later years which blast the
lives of multi tudes of men.
There is a way to regain strength lost by
disease, overwork and worry.
A way to secure and retain the abilities
sacrificed to dissipation-to be glad again
after suffering an atonement.''
A way to repair drains on the system that
sap the vitality.
A way to replace nervousness, dread and
dependency with courage and self-respect.
A way to give full strength, development
and tone to every portion OF the body.
A way to remove every obstacle to happy
and fruitful married life. .

work more than eight hours to the
shift, and consequently but slight
changes, if any, will be required to
come within the letter of the law, and
it is not believed that any reduction
of wages will be made, in any event.

PHGNIx, Ariz., March 7.-On Friday the
Rio Verde Canal company filed mortgage
against their property and rights in tile

to secure that amount of bonds sold in
New York and London. The funds thus
obtained will enable the company to push

be ample to complete the reservoir system
and the 0S lilo miles of canal surveyed.
The company claims that within ten
months it will be in position to deliver
water to one-quarter of a million acres of
land. As all these lands are within easy
distance of Phoenix it means a great deal
to this city. Major Symonds in con-
versation with the HERALD reporter
today said: "Tbe securing of ample funds
by the Rio Verde Canal company means

city in the employment of large forces of

people of Phoenix have watched with no

Phoenix in the center of one of the most
fertile tracts in the country. The starting
point of the canal is thirty-four miles
northeast of here and approaches to within
few miles of the city, then extends sixty
miles or more to the west.
Inspector Mccormick of the interior de-
partment has succeeded ill negotiating

cut off their reservation. covering all of the
Deer Creek coal fields and all other of
their lands where a coal formation can be
traced. In consideration the apaches are
to receive the proceeds of the sale of the
coal lands. as collected under the exis ing
laws for their location. less the expenses of
the land Office. BY this plan the Indians
will receive all that is due them and no
money taken from the treasury, and the
rich coal fields will be thrown open FOR de-
velopment. 1t is expected that the ques-
ton OF right OF way over the reservation
