There are great many catarrh cures
in the world. The most of them are
local applications. Few of them are to
be used internally.
Unfortunately, a large number OF
these catarrh remedies, especially the
ones prescribed by the doctors, contain
narcotics of some sort. Cocaine, opium,
and other narcotics are used.
/ These remedies give temporary relief.
The patient thinks he is better right
away.
In q few weeks, however, he discovers
his mistake. Not only is his catarrh no
better, but he has acquired the half. of

SHOWS HIM UP.
p. C. WilIoughby Exposed by Den
yer Post. His Scheme Denounc-
ed as a Fraud-Does not
Own the Land.

One of the leading articles in the
Denver Post of yesterday was tell
ing expose" and denunciation of
Dillon c. Willbughby. the alleged
railroad promoter and champion hot
air artist who tried to work the Cham
Der of Commerce of Grand Junction
and who is now attempting to sell
homesteads in the Naturita valley.
The article takes up about two COL
umns and purports to set out an ar
ray of the facts regarding the actions
of Willoughby in a most convincing
manner
The Post states that many queries
have come to that paper concerning
the actual conditions under which the
Naturita valley company is selling,
or purporting to sell lands and water
rights, and to satisfy these Inquiries
the Post has made Investigations
and gives in full the result of these
investigations. In opening it states:
The Naturita Valley company, an
unincorporated concern with head
some offices in Denver. formerly oc-
cupied by the defunct Denver Saw
ings Bank, is advertising throughout
many states the sale of 250,0 900 acres
of land in the Naturita valley. San
Miguel and Montrose counties. which
it does not own and has never had
title to. The land belongs to the
government. saving possibly less than
t. Il
under the homestead or desert act.
The Post charges that the Norwood
bank has failed because of the work
of the promoters of the scheme. 1t
declares that it will take $500 cubic
feet per second of water to irrigate
this vast area and that the company
does not own one-third enough water
to furnish this great tract with ir-
rigation, according to one of the larg-
est holders. 1t further charges that
the company has not water enough
to irrigate 5000 acres of the great
body of land To conserve and dis
tribute such a bulk of water would
cost about 100000 and the com
pany certainly has not the money.
Still Willoughby claims to sell tracts
of land with "a perpetual water
right"
The history of the proposed rail
road from Grand Junction is given
and the Post declares that in its pros
pectus and other literature the road
is announced as built
The actual holdings of the Natur-
ita Land G Canal company are de
tailed and the alleged gigantic hold
ings of this company as advertised in
its literature are exposed.
Millions of dollars would be re
quired to accomplish what the com.
pany claims in communicating with
prospective investors it will do or is
doing.
The Post gives list of the men in
,terested in the project and tells
of Willoughby's appearance and his
connection with the project and
scheme. 1t declares that checks is
sued by Willoughby have been dis
honored on several occasions.
Many other phases of the scheme
are dealt with and If the Post article
is true Willoughby and his associat-
es are undoubtedly trying to work
the people and the Naturita valley
proposition is very shady indeed.
