NIAGARA POWER MEN HEARD.
They Argue That Congress Has no Right
to Interfere With the Diversion OF water.


WASHINGTON April 10 Tho House Com
mittee OF Rivers n Harbors to-day hear
some OF the opponents Of the Burton bill
for the preservation of the scenic beauty
OF Niagara Falls.
j. II. Henson, an attorney representing
the Niagara County Irrigation and Water
Supply Company. which plans to divert
Il, 800 cubic feet OF water a second from
the falls. was heard first in behalf of the
legal rights Of that company, which is
chartered under the State OF New York.
He asserted that Congress had no right to
interfere with the diversion OF the water
Of any river, provided such diversion did
not interfere with the rights OF naviga-
ton.
Such use Of the water as his company
proposed, he said, would not interfere with
navigation. He contended that the com
pany was entitled to tine use OF 80 much
OF the water Of Niagara as it desired by
reason of riparian rights. iris was a
principle centuries old ana one which the
courts had always supported.
How the scenic beatty of the falls could
he improved H. l.. Cooper, a civil engineer
representing the same company, then
proceeded to show. He said that after
deducting the quantities consumed by
present power plants the flow over the
American Falls would be % 200 cubic feet
per second. His company purposed in
creasing it to 40 900 cubic feet per second
by making an excavation for 600 or 600
feet AND to a depth Of three or four feet in
the bed OF the river above Goat Island.
This would increase the volume of water
flowing over the American side by diverting
il from the Horseshoe Falls, who're the
average amount Of water going over the
crest is about 1870, 900 feet per second.
The amount of water which his company
wanted to use would lower the amoun OF
water going owe the crest by about three
inches, which, he said. would be practically
mperceptible

CHINESE MINISTER IN TROUBLE.
He Overstcps Bounds OF Diplomatic Pro-
prfety by CritIcising a Congressman.

He Diversions Bounds OF Diplomatic Pro.
priety by Criticising a Congressman.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-The hearings
before the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs on the Foster bill to amend the
Chinese Exclusion act were published to-
dny and disclose a letter written by the
Chinese Minister to John Foord, secretary
of the American Asiatic Association, criti-
cisinR certain statements made by Repre-
sentative DENLY of Michigan, a member
of the committee. The letter is regarded
as one which oversteps the bounds of dip
lomatic propriety and has been the subject
of much comment among members OF the
House interested in the exclusion law.
They declare that had the communication
been written by any other diplomatic repre-
sentative than the Chinese Minister II might
be the sufficient to warrant this Govern
ment in asking for his recall, but this Gov
eminent has always been most lenient
toward the Chinese representatives and
because of this the incident may be over
looked. 1t is regarded, however, as in
direct violation of the rule which prohibits
foreign representatives from mingling with
legislative matters.
Wnils S. d. Webb Of New York, a mer-
chant Interested in the Chinese trade, was
before the committee, in questioning him
upon the certificates issued by Chinese
officials to Cinnamon emigrattng TO this
country MIR. DENLY took occasion to say
that II certificates were fraudulent Chinese
~oflcials must have knowledge of the fraud
and that they we're issued at the connivance
of Chinese officials. He further intimated
that these certificates had been a matter
of bargain and sale by Chinese officials,
and that American Consuls had been de-
oeived by them;
These and other statements of like inn
mort were called to the attention OF the
Eninese Minister by MI. Foord, and it ia the
Minister'S reply to Mr.. Foord which has
caused the controversy which may be
brought to the attention OF the State De-
partment. In his letter the Minister seeks
to arraign Mr.. DENLY. and he concludes as
follows: .
Consequently. l consider the intimation
Of Mr.. DENLY that but for the vigilance of
the immigration officers there would have
been a traffic in bringing, in illegal Chinese,
which would have enriched thousands OF
officials. and our country would nave over

THANKSGIVING PSALM

A teacher in a Terre Haute public school
joins in the chorus:
Teaching is a business which requires
a great deal of brain and nerve force
Unless this force is renewed as fast as
expended the teacher is exhausted before
the close OF the year. Many resort to
stimulating tonics for relief.
For 8 years l struggled against this
almost complete exhaustion, getting what
relief | could from doctors tonics, Then
in the spring Of 1908, 1 had an ATTACK Of
la grippe and malaria which left me too
weak to continue my work. Medicine
failed to give me any relief, a change Of
climate failed. I thought 1 should never
be able to go back in school again,
IL ate enough food, 1.-THE ordinary meals,

Il happened at this time to read an arti-
Gle giving the experience of another teacher
who had been helpedby Grape-Nuts food.
I decided to try Grape-Nuts and cream,
as an experiment. 1t was a delightful ex-
perience, and continues so after a year

ADVERTISE YOUR
CITY IUDICICUSLY

A city can be advanced and made
TO prosper by the proper kind of adj
vertising the same as a business or its
product. 1t is true a fortune can be
wasted by pursuing wrong method
but if the person or persons who
have the fund in charge will follow
the plans of other successful cities
they can increase their population
and enterprises wonderfully Give us
the money to be spent yearly on Sc
attic. Washington, and we will dare
say that we can increase the popula-
ton of Greenville to the $4,000 mark
in 1910.
The whole secret is in judicious
advertising. and the edition we pro-
pose to get out, showing the citizen
ship, resources, business andl agr1-
cultural interests in the county, is the
first step in the right direction. But
even this, to produce the best re
suits. must be followed up closely by
the "follow-up" system The city of
Seattle, Washington, IS a fair exam
pie of what advertising and money
will do towards building up city.
