RACE DONE?
Net q Bit cf Il.

A man who thought his race was
run made a food find that brought
him back to perfect health.
"One year ago l was unable to per
form any labor and in fact was told
by my physicians that they could DO
nothing further for me. l was fast
sinking away, for an attack of grip
had left my stomach so weak it could
not digest any food sufficient to keep
me alive.
There l was just wasting away,
growing thinner every day and weak
er, really being snuffed out simply be-
cause | could not get any nourishmcnt
from food.
Then my sister got after me to
try Grape-Nuts food which had done
much good for her and she finally per-
suaded be and although no other food
had done ne the least bit of good my
stomach handled the Grape-Nuts from
the first and this food supplied the
nOurishmert l had needed. In three
months l was so strong l moved from
Albany to San Francisco and now on
my three meals OF Grape-Nuts and
cream every day am strong and Wig
orous and do fifteen hours work.
Il believe the siclest person il the
world could do as I do. eat three
meals of nothing but GTape-Nuts and
cream and soon be On their feet again
in the flush Of best health ike me.

Of protection.
In 1916, the tariff was reduced and
adversely came.
In 1924, the tariff was increased and
prosperity came.
In 1928, the tariff was still further
increased, and increased prosperity
was the result
In 1888, the tariff was changed by a
measure calling for gradual reduc-
tions, and soon after the first reduc-
tion business depression resulted, and
when the second reduction was made
came panic and ruin.
A high tariff was enacted in 1912,
and with it came a return to prosper
ity.
This brings us again to 1916, with
its reduction of duties, and in spite
of most favorable attendant conditions
we soon found ourselves where Sam
uel Bowles cried to Congress for mer-
cy, and the Republican howled for a
return to protection. But the free
traders of the South knew their bust
ness, and in 1857 came still lower du
ties and still more misery.
That is in brief the, story in few
sentences which the above plank tells
in few words. And no amount of
squirming by free traders or cries of
liar" and "mendacious" will change
history Or alter facts
Every tariff reduction in our history,
without exception, has resulted in bus
mess depression and adversely; and
every increase in the tariff, without
exception, has resulted in prosperity.
That is the issue, gentlemen, and that
will give us the victory.

Oriuin of Veil Lost.

It is hard to tell where the wearing
of the veil first had vogue; many
think it originated in Egypt, for it
was worn there centuries ago. The
Greek brides wore chaplets instead of
a veil These wreaths were plucked
by the brides themselves for good
luck. They usually were made of wild
thyme, myrtle, evergreen, and roses.
Roman maidens wore yellow wells
crowned with wreath of verbina.

says now that the tariff is not an
issue-in fact, almost the only issue
which separates the two parties in

Decision Rendered by Colo
RADIO Judge has Bearing
In This State.
STREAMS PUBLIC PROPERTY
So Says Judge Theron Stevens, But Fish
ermen Must Keep in Stream or
be Liable for Damages.

A decision recently rendered by
Judge Theron Stevens, of the
Seventh Judicial District in Colo
RADIO, is of interest to fishermen in
this state where it is becoming the
fashion for ranchmen to warn
sportsmen off their property.
The court held that the beds of
the streams in Colorado are public
highways for the purpose of car
rying water belonging to the PEG.
pie of the state, and that any citi-
zen has the. right to enter them for
any lawful purpose. including
that of fishing. The court further
held that in getting upon the bank
III an enclosure the fisherman did
so at his own peril, subject to tres.
pass.
The decision is based on section
D article Ii of the constitution.
which reads as follows:
"The water of every natural
stream not heretofore appropriate
ed within the state is hereby de-
clared to be the property of the
public and the same is hereby
dedicated to the the use of the
people of the state, subject to the
appropriation as hereinafter pro-
vided."
The decision'is along the line of
a provision in subdivision I, sec
ton 7, of the game and fish law of
1903, although the judge did not
consider this provision in making
his decision. 1t reads as follows
Provided that the public shall
have the right to fish in any
streams in this state stocked a,
public expense subject to actions
for tresprss for any damage done
to proparty along the banks of any
such stream"
The effect of the decisions ap-
parently is that fishermen may
wade the creek through any mans
land, but if they get on the bank
they are liable to trespass proceed.

TO SURVEY ROAD
]. G. Kennedy and 9. II. Wilcox Left
Tuesday to Survey Pearl Road
Brush Creek Road.

At the last meeting of the coun-
ty commissioners it was decided
to establish the road viewed last
month by Road Supervisor Will
cox, from Riverside to the state
line near Pearl, Colo, and Tues
day Mr.. Wilcox, accompanied by
j. G. Kennedy, went up to survey
and platt the road.
At the next meeting of the board
the estimates for the cost of the
road will be handed in and the
work started at once.
The proposed county road from
Saratoga to French, through the
Brush creek valley has been sur
veyed but unless the present bill
for damages is reduced the pro-
posed road will be thrown out.
The trouble seems to be on
Brush creek, where the amount of
damages asked are as follows:
W. E. Tilton, 500; Chas. Nc
Kay, $50; Winthrop Condict, s2s;
G. H. Barkhurst, $50; c. c.
Young, $3.50; John Harrison, Sl20.
This will make the road cost,
after buying the bridge across the
river at W. Fl. Buffers ranch, and
doing the necessary road work,
in the neighborhood of $4,000.
w. G.. Forney, j.. ID. Parker, and
H. d.. Blydenburg were appointed
appraisers by the county commits
sioners to go to Brush creek and

damage and report at the next

who came from London, England,
to join him.
MI. Wilson is superintendent
for the National Mining & Mill

the smelling business.
There seems to be a doubt ex-
listing in the minds of a great
many people throughout the val
ley as to whether the National
Mining Il Milling Co., intend
building n smelter at Pearl or are
simply blufing.
A visit to that section and a
talk with the officers of the smelt.
er company will convince the
skeptics of the entire possibility
of the smelter and of the inten,
tions of the company to put il
through.
The first load of ma ;hinery fol
the smelter is now on its wa,

balance is now either at Laramie
or being shipped to that POM
from which place it will be trans.
