This fact is the basis Of a decision,
recently rendered by the United States
general appraisers, that customs Off
Gals have no right to compel import
appraisers to pay duty on moisture in
ores. In the case on which the decs-
I9R was based, one car Of lead ore,
coming from British Columbia, weigh

moisture removed, only 60,373 pounds
The figures for another car were re-

to the moist ore the percentage of lead
found in a dried sample, and this the

By the Tribune's own columns it is
proved beyond a doubt that it's story
in an alleged special dispatch, said
to have been sent from Washington,
in which it was represented that Pres.
ident Roosevelt and Utah's represent
atives at Washington had had a fall
ing out and were at daggers' points,
was fake pure and s-mp.e. The al
legeI quarrel, it was said arose over
an amendment by Senator Sutherland
to bill regarding the control of wa
ter to be usel for irrigation purposes
in Dry Gulch and other parts of the
former Uintah reservation. 1t was
sad the secretary for Indian affairs
opposed the Sutherland amendment
and that the president sided with the
secretary and sat down hard on the
Utah men. A couple of days later the
Tribune itself published a dispatch
which for wonder contained one fact.
That fact was that the bill in question
had been introduced with the Suther-
land amendment and that the Indian
Office had receded from its position OF
opposing the amendment. If there
was a dispute and a hot time between
the president and the Utah men the
result would show that the president
got the worst of it, AS a matter OF
fact, the dispute existed nowhere but
in the columns of the Tribune.

Information from inside source
strongly indicates that before lon :
there will be something doing in Utah
in the matter of the coal lands which
have been taken up during the pas
few years. Many of the locations, it
is claimed, have not been in good
faith, were not made by the parties in
whose favor the entries were recorded
with other intent than to dispose o.
them, and that many of the entries
were actually made by prearrange-
ment with corporations or parties act
ing in the interest of corporations
which have become the ostensibls
owners of vast areas of coal lands in
the state. The United States Govern
ment has had secret service men at
work on the matter for several years
These secret service men, as the APP
citation indicates, work in secret, and
just what they have discovered is to
a large extent conjecture, but it Is
known that they have found out
enough to make it uncomfortable for

The death of Vivian McCune, which
occurred in New York little over a
week ago, was altogether sad and dis
tressing. Wv, as he was known to his
friends and associates, was a young
man not much over 80 years of age,
who from all appearances had long
lease of life. Active, strong and ro-
bust, without a trace of the seeds of
disease in his makeup, nobody ex-
pected he would so suddenly be sum-
moned hence. He left his home in Salt
Lake a few weeks ago to attend to
business affairs in New York, and

Exercising Diseane.

Very curious methods were en-
ployed by the ancient Babylonians to
exercise disease. The sucking pig and
kid played an important part in the
remedies. The pig or kid was to be
killed, cut up and placed upon the sick
man. The heart Of the pig, which had
been placed upon the sick mans heart,
was to be held by him, and the pigs
heart was to be as his heart, the blood
as his blood. the flesh as his flesh, and
the pig was to be in his stead. The
virgin kid was dealt with in the same
way being placed upon the sick man.
