AGAINST THE WATER GRAB
Retail Merchants Association Adds
Protest to Light Company's APP
plication in CANYON.

The Retail Merchants association OF
this city yesterday added it's protest to
those already sent in from this city
against the granting of additional water
rights to the Utah Light & Railway COM
pany. which on March 20 filed with the
state engineer two applications to take
additional water from the Ogden river In
Ogden canyon. Petitions have gone IN
TO State Engineer Caleb Tanner, against
the granting of the applications, from
numerous individuals. the Ogden Civic
Improvement league, Ogden city council
and others.
In the protest sent in yesterday by the
retail merchants, they claim that they
have 50 per cent of the business interests
of the city in their organization and that
the protest of that body is unanimous.
The petition says in part:
I'VE believe, after thorough investiga-
ton. that to grant the application on file
means that certain portions of Ogden
river will be dry from July l to April l
of each year; that this would be detri-
mental to Ogden canyon as pleasure re-
sort: would destroy the fish in the
stream; leave stagnant pools in the river
to breed disease; prevent the production
of ice and depreciate in value all prop
erty in Ogden canyon.
eve believe also that this canyon is a
source of revenue to our business inter-
ests from the many transcontinental tour
lists and thousands of other visitors from
over the states and intermountain coun-
try and to destroy the attraction of TINS
canyon would mean great injury TO the
business interests of ogden City.

Tin boy was about 70 years of age. He
was born in the vicinity of the present
site of Boise. Late in the sos Tin Doy
was appointed chief of the tribe by the
first territorial governor of Montana, SID

of the white man. and lost no opportunity
to render the settlers service. More than
once he was bitterly assailed by dis
gruntled leaders in his own tribe, notably
by Peggy, a rival.
1t is history that, in 1887, the blood
thirsty Chief Joseph and his no less
bloodthirsty Nez Perez warriors, planned
a raid into the Salmon valley and mas

vented this. In the following year Tin
boy again protected the settlers against

GRIEVANCE OF

United States Has Completed

the German Empire.
FRANCE OUT IN THE COLD
MATTER BEING DISCUSSED IN
WASHINGTON.

Washington, Nav 2S.-Although it is
stated that nothing has yet been done
toward adjusting the tariff relations be-
tween France and America, and while it
also has been stated that there appeared
to be no occasion for the dispatch of a
tariff commission to Paris. as was done
in the case of Germany the satisfactory
completion of the arrangements with that
country has caused preparations to be
made to consider the case of France. So
far as is known. the recent decision that
a tariff commission would serve no use
Iul purpose remains unchanged. The rea-
son assigned for that statement was that
the negotiations with France had long
ago progressed far beyond the commits
sion stage and had indeed, resulted in the
drafting of treaty.
Congress Alone Can Act.
But this tragedy can come to nothing
without affirmative congressional action
and the French government is believed 10

or legislation Instead they are willing,

whatever advantages are opened to them

der section 5 of Dingley act. OF the few
commodities named in that section upon
which the American government may
grant reductions of duty, but one remains

Upon the other articles reduced duties

1t is now for the state department. to
determine what shall be demanded as a
quid pro quo for a % per cent cut in the
champagne duties. 1t is true that this
concession was made to German cham
pagnes, but the total amount of the
importation was trifling and the revenue
insignificant. il is held by some treaty
officials that the cases are not parallel
for the French champagne imports last
year aggregated more than $1,000, 0G0
Therefore, TO secure anything like an
equivalency in the concessions that
might be asked, America, it is held,
should secure a considerable addition to
the present limited list of articles of
American origin upon which the French
government grants the minimum tariff
rates. 49,

IN IT TEN YEARS
An Unconscious Slave to Coffee.

"I had not the slightest idea that
coffee was the cause of my continued
sickness for the last ten years, until

Coffee. l never had a natural move
ment of the bowels during a number of
years, because of chronic constipation,
and 1 was continually taking medicine.
VERY frequently, Just after break

would force me to lie down and remain
absolutely quiet until relief came. /
was also the victim of severe head
aches, and miserable all the time.
Finally, IT occurred to me that coffee
was the real cause of my trouble.
II therefore procured a package of
Postum Food Coffee and began it's use
in place of coffee. At first l did not
like it, but / soon discovered that had
not made it properly. When 1t is boiled
long enough, it has a delicious Java
coffee taste, a beautiful, deep rich
brown color. AMI altogether it makes a
charming beverage.
IT soon grew very fond of it; in fact,
I liked it better than / did the cid cof-
fee My health improved and this grad
uaIly increased. The bowels resumed
their natural functions and the old dir
zy feeling disappeared entirely; also the
headaches.
This happy change in health fixed
my mind permanently and forever;
never, under any circumstances, to &c
back to a drug that had held me a
slave for ten long years. A curious
thing about all this is that people do
not realize the cause of their troubles.
They go on year after year. just as i
had, in drugging themselves with some
thing that holds them in condition of
sickness and they don't seem to under
stand what It is that causes the trou-
BILE. If such people would leave of cof-
fee and use Postum Food Coffee. the
trial would tell its own tale

Joseph had caused his eouriers to go

the Nez Perces. Tin Doy sent word TO
Joseph that if he crossed Bannock pass
the Lemhis would join the whites in
