sTRATroN ESTATE WINS.
Court Of Appeals Decides Against the
Venture Corporation.

Denver, Colo, Feb. GA decision
was handed down by Judge Adams of
the Federal Court of Appeals at St.
Louis yesterday which effectually sets
at rest the litigation which has so long
been pending over the Stratton's In
dependence mine in the Cripple Creek
district. The decision was in favor of
the estate executors and against the
Venture Company of London, who
brought suit for $6,0O0,0OO damages.
The decision removes all doubt as to
the value of the property when it was
sold, and for this reason. If nothing
else, is source of qualification to
mine owners in the district. 1t was
claimed by the London corporation
shortly after the death of w. 8. STRAIT
ton that the mine had been "salted"
and that the value placed upon it was
fictitious one. Subsequent develop
ment work, however, has brought out
ore values to equal if not more than
cover the $4,000. 900 paid for the mine
Work which has already been carried
on in the property since Mr.. Stratton's
death has proven all claims made for
it, as ore of sufficient value has been
taken out to more than equal the pur-
chase price.
The decision removes the principal
obstacles to the construction of the
Myron Stratton home, although other
litigation may cause delay in carry
ing out this provision of the will.
The decision OF Judge Adams affirms
the decision of Judge Riner, handed
down in Denver aiyear ago.
The state will be enriched even
tually by the payment Of $500, 1000 in
heritance tax. which has been tied up
by litigation since the death of Mr..
Stratton. The decision will also stimu-
late the mining industry in the Grip
pie Creek district to considerable ex-
tent.

1.-THE Road to WellvilIe" Pointed the
Way.

Down at Hot Springs, Ark, the WIS.,
itors have all sorts of complaints, but
1t is subject of remark that the great
majority of them have some trouble
with stomach and bowels. This may
be partly attributed to the heavy med
icines.
Naturally. under the conditions, the
question of food is very prominent.
A young man states that he had suf-
fc1ed for nine years from stomach
and bowel trouble. had two operations
which did not cure, and was at last
threatened with appendicitis.
He went to Hot Springs for rheu-
matism and his stomach trouble got
worse. One day at breakfast the
waiter, knowing his condition, sug-
gested he try Grape-Nuts and cream.
which he did, and found the food
agreed with him perfectly.
After the second day he began to
sleep peacefully at night, different
than he had tor years. The perfect di-
gestion of the food quieted his nerv-
GUS system and made sleep possible.
He says: THE next morning was
astonished to find my condition of con-
stipation had disappeared. / could not
believe it true after suffering for SO
many years; then took more interest
in the food, read the little book The
Road to Wellville, and started follow

New Style Of Statistics Regarding SOL
diers in the Philippines.

oiSfS III ZIG TIiiitPPiuSSs
The Rev. Silas Swallow, whose name
may still 'inger in the memory of the
observant as the late Prohibition can
didate for the Presidency, will find
rather hard nut to crack in the recent
report of Mai. Charles E. Woodruff,
on the drink question in the Philip
pines. Major Woodruff, who is an
army surgeon. has been studying the
effects on Americans residing in the
islands of the use of liquor. and his
observations go quite to upset our
customary views on the subject.
Alcohol, it is commonly believed. 10
the white mans bane in the tropics.
and half the ills of our Nsoldiers in the
Philippines have been laid to drink.
But Major Woodruffs statistics of the
health and habits of the men of two
Of our regiments long stationed in the
islands point to a different and amaz-
ing conclusion. OF the excessive drink
ers in these regiments, sixty-eight per
cent. retained their health; of the
moderate drinkers, SiXty-six per cent,
and of the total abstainers, only forty
six per cent. OF the topers, one and
one-half per cent. died; of the moder-
ate drinkers, four per cent; of the
teetotalers, nine per cent
Major Woodruff's induction, there
fore, appears to denote that total abb
stinence, not excessive drinking, is the
thing to be avoided in the Philippines,
and to the imagination of the bibuloul
the islands are made to appear as
blissful abode, where conviviality is
conducive to health, and common sani-
tary prudence require a man to go on
an occasional "toot." However, Amer
leans going to the Philippines would
do well to remember that Major Wood
ruff's report runs counter to a consid
cradle mass of testimony by other au.
thorities-Milwauke Sentinel.

THE LESSER OFFICES.

While the main interest in the city
campaign naturally centers in the
mayoralty candidates. and while the
reelection OF Mayor Richard p Morris
is Of the greatest Importance to Salt
Lake City, the voters cannot afford 10
forget that there are four other Candi-
dates on the Democratic ticket that are
thoroughly worthy of their attention
and support. At least two of these can
didates have been prominently before
the public in official capacities. They
are John 5. Critchlow for recorder, and
". H. Bramel for city attorney.
Air, CritchloW is the present recorder.
The best test of his value is found in
the fact that, without regard 10 poll
tics, every member Of the present city
council has said repeatedly that MI
Critchlow is the best recorder the city
has ever had. All unite in pronounce
ing him a faithful, competent official
He has never missed a council meet
ing or committee meeting unless he
was away from the city on the business
of the city. The records of his Office
have been kept as those records were
never before kept. In his contact with
the public Mr.. Critchlow has been
courteous and obliging. lie thoroughly
deserves 10 be reelected.
Mr., Bramel has been assistant city
attorney for nearly two years. If he is
elected, and we believe he will be. his
promotion viii be absolutely a reward
OF merit. Mr.. Bramel has successfully
handled a number OF important cases
for the city during his incumbency.
And he has a splendid record to his
credit. No attorney the city has ever
had has made a better showing. The
high esteem in which Mr.. Bramel is
held by his fellow practitioners is an
other evidence Of his ability.
Joseph Z. Game. the Democratic can
didate for treasurer, is one of the city's
foremost young business men. His
banking experience Of many years
thoroughly qualities him for the treas
urership and renders it unnecessary for
us TO speak Of his service in the volun-
ltcE army GuAAAlE o1L WAT with spain.
The election OF Mr.. Game Will be a
splendid thing for the city. We know
of no man who would better ill the po-
sition.
OF N. L. Cunningham, the candidate
on the Democratic ticket for auditor, we
could say enough pleasant things to hn
several columns. This in spite Of the
fact that we have n very close ac-
workmanship with Mr. Cunningham.
AS the public knows, except for a brief
interval, Mr.. Cunningham has been a
member of The Herald staff for many
years. We know of no place that
brings out the good or the bad in
mans character as quickly as a news
paper place. And the fact that Mr..
Cunningham has filled his place to the
entire satisfaction OF The Herald and
its friends is a sufficient evidence Of his
ability. If We consulted our own in
terests we would advise people to vote
against him, for the good and sufficient
reason that We don't want to lose him.
However, IL the voters consult their
Own and the city's interests, they will
make Il unanimous for NJ. L. Cunning

standing that they were dona tons. and
the fact that liberal proportion Of the
money is TO be returned comes as the
happiest sort OF a surprise.
The fair was a success for many rea-
sons, but FOR none so much as the fact
that it afforded Justification to hun
dreds Of thousands OF eastern and mid
die western people 10 see the posslbili-
ties Of the far west. It is. very doubt
full if more than a small percentage of
the visitors from points east of the
Missouri river cared anything about
the fair itself. a large proportion OF
them saw the fair at st. Louis last year
and they knew that the Portland show
would be a small replica Of that
gorgeous display.
What they did want to see was the
country. The unprecedented travel on
the Oregon Short Line and the
Rio Grande roads shows that the great
er part OF the total number of visitors
came from eastern points. And the
Great Northern, the Northern Pacific
and the Canadian Pacific also shared
heavily in the traffic. That the visitors
were impressed favorably by what they
saw was evidenced by the many inqui-
ries they made about the openings for
intelligent, industrious people in this
part of the country,
An influx of immigration is sure to be
an early result of the fair All this im-
migration viii not go to northwest
coast points, however. Utah and Idaho
viii get their share, and especially will
Utah profit, because at least so per
cent, and possibly more. of the Port
land visitors passed through this state.
The hotel men, il win be remembered,
said repeatedly that last summer they
had the heaviest business in their his
tory. and they attributed it TO the tour
lists attracted by the fair.
So Utah, Idaho and all the far west
ern states will profit by the Lewis and
Clark exposition. 1t was a good show
and the men who made it are entitled
to the thanks and congratulations of all
Of US.

OPEN THE HOUSES.

the delegates and visitors on their ar
rival, If Salt Lake is selected. 1t is gen-
orally understood that if a satisfactory
showing in the matter of accommoda-
lions can be made Salt Lake VIII sure
~ win this convention prize.
In every other particular the ball
ances are heavily in our favor We
have the meeting places, the points Of
interest. the splendid summer climate.
the low railroad rates. the side trips.
On all of these points we are far ahead
of our competitors, Denver and San
Francisco. Those cities have an ad-
vantage over us in hotel and boarding
house accommodations, and in those
alone. But they viii not have that ad-
vantage if Salt Lakers agree TO open
their homes TO the National Education
al association throngs.
The Herald hopes the canvassing
committee viii be able TO report long
lists OF private homes where the city's
guests can be entertained. There are
hundreds of residences in Salt Lake
where people can be accommodated,
where they should be aecOmmo lated.
1t should be distinctly understood, too.
that While this is an appeal to the pat
riOtism and civic pride of Salt Lakers,
no question OF charity is involved No
body is to be asked to entertain visit-
Ors free OF charge.
The teachers, and those who WI ac-
company them. will be pIentifuliy sup
piled with funds with which TO ,ay
their way. No housekeeper will be ex-
pected 10 furnish room for a day or a
single meal without compensation. We
realize that with many housekeepers
this is a secondary consideration, that
they would not think of turning treir
homes, even temporarily, into boarding
Eouses except as a matter of patriot
ism, but they are entitled to and should
receive compensation for their trouble
and expense.
There is no doubt in our minds that
such showing will be made as will
fairly compel the selection of Salt Lake
as the \. Z. A. convention city for 1906
Whether 5000 or 1900 visitors come 10
us, We will be able to feed and lodge
them, and that, too, without causing
them serious discomfort.
