About seven years ago I ceased
drinking coffee to give your Postum
trial.
II had suffered acutely from various
forms Of indigestion and my stomach
had become so disOrdered as to repel
almost every sort Of substantial food.
My general health was bad. At close
intervals I would suffer severe attacks
which confined me in bed for week
or more. Soon after changing from
coffee to Postum the indigestion
abated, and in short time ceased
entirely. I have continued the daily
use of your excellent Food Drink and
assure you most cordially that am
indebted to you for the relief it has
brought me.
wishing you a continued success,

QUESTIONS Title
TO GORDON'S island

DEVILS LAKE, Aug. PA case
which is said may bring up the ques.
ton Of riparian rights before it is fin.
ally settled is pending in the United
States land office, entitled Thomas
Sproat vs.. John S. Gordon. The land
in question composes what Is known
as Gordon's island, located in Rush
lake, between Hannah and Langdon,
Cavalier county.
In many respects the case is unique.
When the United States survey was
made of the section of Cavalier coun-
ty surrounding the lake. the island
was omitted. In 1907, on. application,
John s. Gordon of Clyde, N. D., a spe.
cial survey was made of the island
in question and homestead entry was
made at the Devils Lake land Office
the following year. The land is de-
scribed as two lots, being only frac-
ton of the ordinary 160-acre home
stead.
When final proof was Offered this
summer by Gordon, Thomas Sproat
of Hannah, filed protest, claiming
abandonment.
It appears, however, that since
homestead entry was made by Gordon,
Rush lake was lowered to such an ex-
tent that the island has been greatly
enlarged and that there is question
as to whether the island will be in
existence, in which case it is said

CONDITIONS IN EMMONS.
LOOK QUITE PROMISING

The Hazelton Republican has the
following to say of the Tribune and
crop conditions in Emmons county:
"The Bismarck Tribune is making
a review of crop conditions in North
Dakota which is doing much good in
setting the state in the right light
before the outside world.
Eve are pleased to note in this con-
nection that Emmons county is one
Of the spots that have come in for
a share of the good work. The Trib.
une states that Emmons is one of
the counties that has suffered most
by reports going out to the effect that
only a few acres of grain would be
cut. Then follows clippings from our
home papers setting forth the actual
facts.
1.-THE facts are that in the extreme
south end of the county crops were
pretty badly burned, but further north
begin to get better and in the north
half, there are very few acres that
will not be cut, while most of it will
yield from five to fifteen bushels per
acre. Flax in many parts will be a
twelve bushel crop unless early frosts
come, and potatoes are doing fine. No
hay famine this year, and lots of hay
to sell to outsiders. No, indeed. EN-
mons county is not suffering failure
this year by any means"

BRUTE INSTINCT
FAILS TO RESPOND

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22-From
Eureka comes the news that Jack
London has been fighting again
Comes likewise the news that London
has been licked, which, by the way IS
getting to be an old story.
This time it was not a saloonkeeper
who laid the author low, as was the
case a few months ago in Oakland. 1t
was William H. Murphy, Jr., SON OF
one of the lumber magnates of North
California, who made London measure
the boards after beating him to it with
punch.
The fight had "low brow" setting.
It took place in a saloon. London and
his wife have been in Eureka at the
home of former Mayor Hicks, where
he met Murphy. The two men, did
not fall into raptures over each other.
In the saloon their conversation took
a personal turn. At any rate, Mr..
Murphy jabbed Mr.. London squarely
in the countenance. The abyssmai
brute in London leaped to quick re-
Spouse. He retaliated.
The author waded in with determi-
nation of the victor in the famous
fight with the "Chineseface" that

spectators were too many and before
any serious bodily harm was inflicted
the belligerents were separated and
cautioned to be good.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. o.
George Cooley came to San Antonio
last spring from Atchison, Kansas,
when the soldiers did and has remain
ed here ever since as kind of a
camp follower. When Cooley was
eight years old, he and his sister, six
years old, were sent out from New
York along with a number OF home
less children. A home was found for
the boy with a Kansas farmer and he
remained with his foster parents UNI
til he was of age The sister was
taken on to some other point, and by
some means the boy heard that she
was brought to Texas. Cooley deter
mined to find his sister if he could
and his trip to this city with the army
was for the purpose of ascertaining
if she wer. here Some weeks ago
he heard that a young woman who
was a New Yorker as such children
were sometimes called, had married
well-known young man near George
town, Texas, and that the couple had
gone to Fayetteville, Arkansas, to
live. The more Cooley thought of this
young woman the more he concluded
she must be his long lost sister, Fin.
ally, he declares, he dreamed one
night that the young woman was his
sister and she hoped sometime to see
her brother she had not seen since
they parted in Kansas years ago.
The next morning after Cooley had
the dream left for Fayetteville, where
he found the young married couple,
and a small scar on the young wo-
mans forehead made the identifica-
ton complete. In fact, Cooley de-
clares he would have known her if he
had met her on the street. He is now
arranging to 60 to Atchison to get
small patrimony that has been given
to him by his foster parents and then
will 60 to Fayetteville and make his
home with his sister. In discussing
the incident, Cooley declared that It
was his intention to devote bis life to
finding his sister If she We're alive.
II had no other reason for wanting to

INVESTIGATE
COST OF MEATS
CATTLE GROWERS OF TEXAS
WILL LOOK INTO THE
MATTER,
Discrepancy That Exists Between
Price on the Hoof and on the Block
Will Be Investigated.
Especial to the Tribune)

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. 3d.
The meeting of the cattle growers of
Texas and the representatives of var.
ious cities and other organizations at
Fort Worth, September IL and 10,
fer the purpose of investigating the
high cost of meats and the discrep-
ancy that now exists between the
price paid for live stock on the hoof
and the meat on the block, is attract
ing widespread attention. That there
will be something unusual doing at
this meeting is indicated in the inter-
est manifest. Discussing the meeting
and what it hopes to accomplish, Capt
Charles Shreiner, of Kerrville, prom
inent sheep and cattleman, said:
1--WE shall attempt to find out where
there is a variance of 300 per cent
between what the producer receives
and what the consumer pays, and will
endeavor to take action to remedy
the condition.; at least We will start
a crusade that will not stop until this
question is equitably settled. There
must be solution of the proper kind
and for the salvation of the consumer

shortly. When the producer is selling
his cattle at loss and the consumer
is paying an exorbitant price for his
meat, the situation evidences an
economic discrepancy that can not
long continue. The trouble lies with
the packer and retailer, and am in
clined to think that the latter is even
more to blame than the former. How.
ever, it is hard to fix the blame at
the present time, but it stands to rea-
son that there is sometl ing radically
wrong. This year the producer is
receiving 81 per hundred less than
he received last year, yet the price of
meat has steadily advanced. So it
appears there is Legitimate profit
somewhere between the producer and
the consumer. II profit was made
last year when higher prices were
paid for cattle and sheep, surely the
profit is now exc essive."
Just what course will be pursued
at the Fort Worth meeting is not
known, but that something will be
done to get at the facts in the case
Is evidenced by the widespread inter-
est in the coming meeting.

ACCOMPLISHED HH
BY congress
SOME RESULTS OF THE SPECIAL
SESSION..
Canadian Reciprocity Pact Carried
and Arizona and New Mexico are
Assured of Statehood.-Taft Vetoed
ObjectionaI Tariff Bills.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-The re-
suits of the session of congress just
closing, in comparison with the am
bilious program adopted at the outset
were not large.
Canadian reciprocity was brought
| as near reality as the executive and
legislative departments could advance
it. Statehood. was assured for New
Mexico and Arizona; the campaign
publicity legislation was enacted in
a form satisfactory to it's most earnest
advocates; provision was made
for an enlarged house of represen-
tatives based upon the last census,
and a few other measures of minor
importance were passed.
The Democratic house, the first
since 1895, seized upon the session
as a vehicle to convey to the country
the views of the democracy on the
subject of tariff revision, but the ex-
ecutive disaproval rendered futile any
efforts to express those views upon
the Statute UOOkS.
Two tariff bills, one materially re-
ducing the existing duties on wool
and wooden goods of all classes, and
the other placing on the free list ar
ticles of machinery and tools used by
farmers and amended to include
many other items, were vetoed by
President Taft. He based his disap-
proval upon the grounds that the
bills had not been scientifically pre-
pared and that tariff revision should
wait until reports on different sched-
ules had been made by the tariff
board. The cotton revision bill awaits
similar fate.
The house, under the leadership of
Representative Underwood of Alaba-
ma, chairman of the ways and means
committee, and Speaker Clark, en-
deavored to pass the bills over the
veto, but the necessary two-thirds
vote could not be obtained.
Trust Investigations without num-
Der we're instituted during the session
and some of them, notably those bear
ing upon monopolies in steel and su-
gar industries, were prosecuted with
vigor and they still are in progress.
Constructive legislation to bear on
federal regulation of corporations is
regarded as certain to come as the
result of these inquiries, and plans
already have been instituted to re-
wise the antitrust laws.
Charges were revived that Senator
Lorimer was elected by the Illinois
legislature through medium of brib-
cry and second investigation by the
senate was got we'll under way. A
senate inquiry into the election of
Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin was
ordered.
General arbitration treaties with
Great Britain and France sent to the
senate by President Taft received
some opposition because the upper
house contended that one provision of
the treaties usurp"d its constitution
al perogatives.
The friction in the department of
agriculture over the enforcement of
the pure food laws has been aired
by one of the many Investigations
originating in the Democratic house,
and a countrywide issue Is raised over
the question of whether the activities
of DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the govern
ment pure food expert, have been
made effective.

RECIPROCITY THE
ISSUE IN CANADA

TORONTO, Ont, Aug. 22,-The elec-
ton campaign has gained full head
way throughout Ontario, the great in
dustrial province of Canada, by the
visit of Sir Wilfred Laurier, premier,
and r. L. Borden, opposition leader.
On all sides it is recognized that re-
ciprocity is the issue. Even Mr..
Borden has declined to make his
campaign attack o. the fifteen years
record of the government
Instead of undertaking, he will win
or lose on the reciprocity issue alone.
Although the election has been
sprung suddenly, more than 100 con-
ventions have been held during the
past eek and rival candidates named
in nearly every constituency.
