TAMELY SUBMITTING
We wonder if any of the farmers

We wonder if any of the farmers
Il this valley, whose farms are
slowly but surely being ruined
have noticed the increase in tail
ings in the river this winter over
lastl And ifthey have if they are
going to sit down and patiently
wait for the destruction of their
farmsl
Promises have been made that
these tailings would be kept out of
the river. At the time these
promises were made, and accepted
in good faith by our citizens the
Guardian was severely criticised
by some of our farmers for remark
ing that it took but little '.stock"
10 the promises and did not be-
lieve the companies would care for
the tailings until compelled to by
the strong arm Of the law. Even
a careless observer can now see
that these remarks were warranted
for the river water is carrying
more tailings now than ever be-
fore. Although very large vol
ume of water is flowing down the
river, it is white and almost thick
with tailings, something that was
never seen before except in time of
low water,
In a short time Prof. Fcrbs, of
the University, will lecture to the
people of this valley aud one of
his subjects will be "the tailings."
We do not know what the Pro-
fessor's conclusions are as to the
effect of this substance on the farms
nor how he expects to treat the
subject, but, no matter whether lie
treats the matter as injurious,
beneficial or neutral, the fact still
remains that the taiings are
gradually running the farming
lands OF this valley, a fact that can
easily be proven, and the impunlty
with which it is being done is cer-
talnly worthy of the admiration of
those being injured.
We often hear that something
should be done or something must
be done to stop the tailings, but the
question is: Why is something
not done? Thousands upon tbous-
ands of dollars IN damage will be
done TO the farms this year unless
lbe companies are compelled to
.ease running their tailings into
he river. We say compelled be-
,ause it is a demonstrated fact that -
hey will not cease unless com.
'elled by the courts.
A simple and effective remedy
would be for those interested in
ands in this valley, to pool their n
interests, ask for an injunction !"
gninst those responsible for the
'resence of the tailings in the
iver, sue for damages already sus-
aimed and show the whole matter
p in court and we will guarantee
Dat you will not be troubled with
ny more tailings. 1t will be a y,
ostly proceeding, we admit, but " v,
ou had better spend half what o.
our homes are worth in their de- h,
,nse than be driven from them p
