said he secured some money. One of
the men watched Scott while the other

U. P. REORGANIZATION
Denver Losing Sleep Over Reported
Changes In Office.

The rumored changes in regard to the
general branch offices of the Union Pa
cific, like Banquo's ghost, will not
down. but are cropping out all along
the line. The proposition seems to be
agitating the Denver press, with the re-
suit that the papers published in the
Queen City of the Plains all comment
upon the alleged contemplated changes.
In speaking upon the subject the Den
yer News of Friday says:
There is growing feeling in rail-
road circles that important changes are
soon to take place in the general
branch offices of the Union Pacific
within a few weeks. 1t has been ru-
mored for some time that the freight
and passenger departments at Denver
and Salt Lake City were to be com
bined, and word comes from Omaha
that further changes are in contempla-
ton, the exact nature of which is in
doubt.
yesterday General Freight Agent
Griffin was called to Omaha from Den
yer. and George Ady the general pas
senger agent, is already in that city.
None of the local representatives of the
road seem to understand what is going
on at the central offices, but taken in
connection with the dispatch from
Omaha yesterday morning that Assist
ant General Passenger Agent Sam
Hutchinson had resigned, the other
movements are interpreted as portend-
ing some kind of a revolution

CHANGE IN FOOD.
Works Wonders in Health

It is worth knowing that a change in
food can cure dyspepsia. Il deem it my
duty to let you know how Grape Nuts
food has cured me of Indigestion.
II had been troubled with it for years
until last year my doctor recommended
Grape-Nuts food to be used every MORN
ing. / followed instructions and now
1 am entirely well.
THE whole family like Grape-Nuts
We use four packages week. You are
welcome to use this testimonial as you
see fit. I am willing to give any infor-
nation to anyone who desires to see or
write me regarding Grape-Nuts." Re-
specially Mrs. c. II. Lowe, 6S1 Parker
ST.. Roxbury, Mass.
The reason Mrs. Lowe was helped by
the use of Grape-NutS food, is that the
food is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach
as the food she had been using: il also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system. If
that part of the human body is in per-
feet working order, there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the engine.
When the nervous system is run
down, the machinery of the body works
badly. Grape Nuts food can be used
by small children as well as adults. 1t
is perfectly cooked and ready for in
slant use.

Brigham City, June 30.-In the district
court the case of the Toltec Ranch COM
pany VS.. George Steed is on trial before
judge and jury
This case is of interest to the farmers
who belong to the Farmers Protective
association of Box Elder County, as the
question of whether or not the associa-
ton will extend its protection over farm
ers who are being sued by land corpora
lions other than the Bear River com
pany must OF necessity be decided. Mr..
Steed, the defendant in this suit is
member of the Protective association, and
will ask the aid of the association. In this
particular case the suit arises through a
certain water ditch which the defendant
Steed built over piece of land owned and
claimed by the TOltec Ranch company and
which has been in litigation for a num-
Der of years between the TOltec Ranch
company as plaintiff VS.. William Johnston
as defendant. Mr.. Johnston gave a deed
to George Steed for the land occupied by
the ditch, which ditch has been used for
the last six or seven years by the de-

Rate Discrimination Suit.

Portland, Ore, Jun SO.-In the United
States district court today Judge Bel
linger handed down a decision in the
case of Allen and Lewis, representing
the wholesale grocers of Portland,
against the Oregon Railroad and Nav
igation company, and the Oregon Short
Line Railroad company. The decision
today was against the railroad COM
panies. The decision, however, was not
on the merits of the case, but on an
application of the Oregon Short Line to
withdraw from the suit on the ground
that the court had no jurisdiction, the
Short Line being a separate corpora
ton
In The original suit plaintiffs contend
ed that the rates of the Short Line and
the O. r. & n. companies into Idaho
territory discriminate against Portland
jobbers and in favor of San Francisco
jobbers, which is contrary to the inter
state commerce law
Judge Bellinger held that the applica-
ton for withdrawal came too late and
that both roads must come into court
and defend the suit.
