Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy.

There is probably no medicine made
that is relied upon with more implicit
confidence than Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Dur
ing the third of a century in which it
has been in use, people have learned
that it is the n remedy that never
fails. When reduced with water and
sweetened it is pleasant to take. For

ginning to attract the attention OF
eastern investors, in which the spec
ulative element is as nearly absent as
can be found in any business venture,
and that is conservation of water and
the reclamation of arid lands.
Compared with the lands which are
possible to be reclaimed, the lands
are very small in the arid sta. IS.
Those who are well acquainted v 18th
the situation state that not one quar-
ter of the water which is available
has been used for irrigation, and that
of the water which is appropriated
fully onc-half is wasted by irration-
al methods of use.
There are comparatively few places
in Utah where the flood tides of the
streams are used at all. These waters
are allowed to flow to the ocean,
wasting their energy and their life
giving qualities when both are need
ed enormously in this new country.
An instance of the needs and the

IRRIGATION VS.. MINING.

Mining men state that during the
past three years more capital has
been brought to the west for the pur-
pose of investment in the mines than
in the ten years prior to that time.
There is no question but that the
discovery of gold in southern Neva-
da drew great deal of money from
beyond the Mississippi river, a large
amount of which was confiscated. IT
is also true that the advence in the
price of copper and the consequent
rejuvination of many old camps where
the red metal was the leading sup
posed value in the ores, is another
cause of drawing upon the boarded
stores of the east This has been ac-
complishcd in the face of the stearn-
est opposition of the eastern fnan.
cial press, which constantly pointed
out that all mining investments were
in their very nature highly spec
ulative character.
There is form Of investment which
is peculiar to the west which is be

would be at least five times its pres
ent figure.
We have Our mining millionaires
by the score. There is room in Utah
for several scores of irrigation mil
lionaires. AS was said at first the
industry, if it can be so called, is be-
ginning to attract the attention of the
eastedn investor. Will Utahns sit
back and allow others to reap the
harvest?

OUR ANTITRUST" LAW.

The San Francisco Chronicle IRON
ically alludes to law of California
which seems to scare outsiders much
worse than Californians-the Cart
right antitrust law which was passed
by the last legislature. The Chroni-
Gle says the powder trust has heard
of the passage of this law, "and APP
parently not realizing that in Caifor-
MIA all such legislation is to be un-
derstood in the Pickwickian case, has
decided to take no chances and in fu-
ture will require all orders for its
goods from this state to be accomp-
anied by the cash. Section 3 Of this
act makes all foreign corporations
subject to its provisions, and section
8 makes claims arising from trans
actions in violation of the act uncol-
lectabe in Our courts. Hence the de-
mand for cash with the order, which
is, of course, an admission that the
concern is a trust within the NEAR
ing of Our law, and consequently with
in the meaning of the United States
law. There is some chance that the
federal authorities may do things to
the powder trust, but it is rather
amusing to learn that it has any fear
of being disturbed by anybody in
this state.
why, this state is full of trusts
obnoxious to the law, but not one of
them pays the slightest attentnion to
it or ever expects to. There is num-
Der trust, a plumbers trust, a hard
ware trust and a multitude of other
trusts. If San Francisco lumber
dealer sells load of lumber in Oak
land he will be fined $Ioo, and vice
versa. What awful penalty would be
visited upon dealer in plumbers
materials who would sell plumbers
goods to one not of the elect we are
not quite certain. We do not know
but he would be hanged. We doubt
whether there is single article Of
ordinary commerce in which the vol.
umc of trade is large enough to JUS
tify a combination which is not con-
trolled by some combination in re-
straint of trade, either state or inter
state. There was never an opening

valued at over ten times THAT sum
and are growing in value all the time.
There are unnumbered reservoir
sites in the mountains OF this state
which are waiting the capital for their
erection, and there are hundreds OF
families in the country who are wait
ing for the opportunity to make
homes where they can make the
desert smile"
In Emery county there are tens
of thousands of acres of land lying
waste which is capable of producing
the finest fruits which can be grown
and there is water going to waste
which would make the cultivation OF
these lands possible. Washington
county which has a climate equal to
southern Tennessee, has also many
streams which, were the waters stored
in reservoirs, would make homes for
over five times the present popula'
ton; lands which at the present time
are not even good grazing ground
for the few sheep which are run there.
The same can be said of almost ev-
cry county in the state.
1t only requires little enterprise
upon the part of the people of Utah.
1t only needs that these reservoir
sites be located, the flow of the
streams measured and the lands sur
veyed and then an appeal made IN
any of the eastern centers of capital
to bring many millions of dollars 10
Utah, which would produce millions
more.
There is no one thing which ap-
peals as strongly to eastern money
as that of irrigation. Though min
ing enterprise has fascination about
it, and appeals to the gambling nat
ure which is implanted in all men.
yet there is much more money to be
obtained for irrigation enterprises
than can be obtained for mining, when
once its advantages are explained to
the investors. While the profits in
irrigation enterprises are not so spec
ulatively great as in mining enterpris.
es when the latter responds to de-
velopment, yet the element of loss is
almost entirely eliminated in the for
mer, while the profits are such as
must appeal to the investor in an
irristible manner.
An appropriation of surplus water
with the location of reservoir site,
is a much more valuable asset than
any mining claim can possibly be.
In irrigation enterprises the core is
always in sight" In them develop
ment always brings fruit. The man
who sells these stocks need never
fear but that the buyer will receive
return upon his investment. There
are thousands who will listen where
hundreds will listen to the prcsenta
ton of a mining enterprise. If as
much energy was expended in irri-
CATION as is expended in mining enter
prises, the population of the state
