General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; q laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons Why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactur by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

CONTENDS FOR RIGHT TO BUILD
RESERVOIR AND POWER
PLANT ON TAYLOR
RIVER.
PLANS FOR BIG Dam
ENGINEER CLAIMS
1T CONFLICTS WITH RE-
CLAMATION SER
VICE.

Denver.-Albert B. Sanford, assayer,
has gone to Washington, d. c., to try
to convince the government that it
has no right, by department ruling,
to interfere with the operation of a
state law.
Mr.. Sanford is to appear before Sec
retary of the Interior Garfield.
Il am going to fight for my rights, u.
said Mr.. Sanford, Three years ago
filed upon land for the building of a
reservoir and power plant on Taylor
river. My reservoir was planned to be
large enough to hold $500, 0,000,0 900 cubic
feet, which would make it consider
able larger than the Cheesman dam.
The dam will be 140 feet high.
This reservoir and power plant
upon the public land is authorized by
federal law. The right to store flood
waters and use them in connection
with the normal flow of the stream for
the development of power is clearly per-
mitted under the laws of Colorado.
MY intention is to do just this.
have faithfully followed all of the re-
quirements of the state of Colorado,
the rules and regulations of the for
estry service and other departmental
regulations. There has been no ques-
tion raised as to my methods of filing"
IAN engineer decided this project
would interfere with the plans of the
reclamation service in Uncompahgre
valley.
Il am certain that if the Taylor
river was not in existence, there
would be ample water for all uses of
the Uncompahgre canal Eighty per
cent. of all me waters flowing by the
last portal of the Gunnison tunnel are
from tributaries entering the river be-
low the proposed dam site.
Il made every effort to demonstrate
to the department that my project, if
permitted, would result largely to the
benefit of the Uncompahgre project,
and in no case a detriment That the
extra water which would naturally be
required for the production of energy
when the stream was low would be
drained from the reservoir, and after
passing the wheels would be returned
to the channel of the stream, and those
waters be given to the Uncompahgre
project without cost to it or to the
government.
81 have been satisfied from the start
that the right to construct this reser-
voir has been authorized by federal
law, and / leave today to press my
case"
The site for the proposed reservoir
is bounded by the Quartz creek range
on the south; the Continental divide,
or Collegiate range on the east, and
the Elk mountains on the north and
northwest. The drainage area of the
proposed reservoir is over $50 square
miles.
