I ATTORNEY-GENERAL
' ANSWERS WORTHINGTON
The Attorncy-Genoral received a series
of oucstlons from the Department of Ag
riculture at Washington respecting water
rights in the arid region. The first and
tnost important question submitted was:
"Regardless .of existing laws or deci
sions, in your opinion what governmental
Agency should control Interstate water
supplies used In Irrigation' That is,
should each Stato have exclusive control
within its borders, or should the Nation
control regardless of State lines, or should
there be dividend control?'
To which the Attorney-Genoral made
the following reply
"In my opinion there should be created
a national tribunal vested with all tho
power' necessary to settle and control all
public streams running Into and through
more than one State. I believe State
control, like divided control, would result
In endless friction and expensive litiga
tion. National exclusive control of all In
terstate waters seems to me to be tho
best thing.

After having been struck by flying
rocks. Rowbotham still had ncrvo enough

OGDEN ICE FAMINE
MAY BE A REALITY
Special to The Tribune.
OGDEN, Aug. 14. Thero is a strong
probability that private residences will
hnve lo go without ice after Thursday.
This Is the announcement made by the
management of the Ice company. Up
until tho present ttmo there has been
natural Ice of an interior grade which
could bo used for refrigerating purposes
and rclioved the situation somowhat. but
now that that Is gone the plant Is
wholly unable to cope with the situation
The output of the plant is loss than twen
ty tons per day, and it requires nbout
sixty tons daily to supply tho city. Some
ice has been shipped in from otlicr
places, and Manager Thomas would havo
clone that in this case had the people
been able to stand for it The price at
Salt Lake is $7.50 per ton, the purchaser
standing all costs and shrinkage This
made the price too high, and they re
fused to pay it. although tho company
did not desire to charge more than ac
tual cost for it. The result Is that that
scheme has been abandoned and It Is
likely that the residents will be cut off.

CALVIN "SMITH DROWNED
IN SPRING NEAR LOGAN
Special to The Tribune
LOGAN, Aug. 11. John Calvin Smith,
aged eighteen years, a son of Joseph and
Mary 'Smith of Logan, was drowned In a.
large spring at the northern end of this
city Sunday afternoon at about 1 o'clock.
The young man and others were swim
ming, and Smith had made several trips
across the spring. The other boys saw
him sink. Assistance was called for but
efforts to recover the body were unavail
ing for quite a time. Finally Ben Lund
berg brought the unfortunate young man I
to the surface and the body was imme
diately conveyed to the Llndqulst un
dertaking parlors.
Thre Is some doubt as to what caused
young Smith to sink. Some consider it
was an attack of heart failure, the boy
having been left with a weak heart from
a case of typhoid. Others think he must
have been stricken with cramps, while
It is again suggested that he was caught
In the weeds with -which tho spring is
filled.

5 NOT ACCEPT f
t ?
The Smool "Mouth" dial-
longed Tho Tribune and the !
Herald to nuiko n showing that n-
i they had not been ricnlin? fair- 4
I ly with advertisers on tho basis !-
r of their charges for advertising. r
j The Herald made a step whieli 4
v it would havo tho public believe 'fr
t was a willingness lo moct the 4
-r "Mouth's" challenge by sub-
f mining a statement which it
r says is its circulation. The
r "Mouth" proceeded to mnlco a
monkey of the Herald and a
-I madder pair of men were ticvor 4
4 seen than thn two dignitaries of 4
4 the Herald tho morning they 4
4 read tho "Mouth" and found 4-
4 how Ihcir confidence had been 4
4- betrayed. 4
4 Then tho Herald began talk- 4
4- ing about circulation as it bears 4
4- on advertising and pretnnded 4
4 that it was willing for a count 4
4 up. The Tribune, the challenged 4
4 party, proposed a complete look- 4
4 ing into all of the accounts of 4-
4 t lie three morning newspapers 4
4 bearing on circulation and its 4-
4- application lo advertising. Tho 4
4- Tribune, proposed to forfeit to 4"
4 eharity $o0f) if it could not 4
4 prove that the "Mouth" had 4-
4 been a fakir, and $500 to char- 4-
4 Hy if The Tribune could not 4
4- prove at least ten per cent, 4
4- greater bona fide circulation in 4
4 Halt Ii.ike and environs than tho 4
y Hei-aid, and that the Herald 4
4 had systematically discriminated 4
4 against local advertisers and 4
4- charged them from ten to forty 4
4 per cent more than foreign pat- 4
4 ent, medicine concerns that do 4
4 not expend nearly so much with 4
4 the Herald as the local mer- 4
4- chants. 4
4 Just as expected, these news- 4
4' papers have begun to quibble. 4
4 They dare not consent to a thor- 4
4 ough look into their books. 4
'h The Tribune favors throwing 4-
4 open its entire records. It 4
4 knows that there is but one way 4
4- to prove circulation, and, there- 4
j fore, advertising value. It is to 4
4 determine whether or not a 4-
4 newspaper gives its papers 4
4 away or requires pav for them. 4
4 The "Mouth " has printed thou- 4
4 sands of papers and distributed 4
4 them without receiving a cent 4
4- for them. Hardly a man in Salt 4
4 Lake but knows that samples 4-
4 have been thrown into his yard 4
4 for weeks at a time. Some have 4
4 been receiving these papers for 4
4 months without ordering the 4
4- "Mouth." The " Mouth V has 4-
4 never had a bonn fide ci renin.- 4
4 tion in Salt Lake that has begun 4
4 to approach either of the local 4
4 newspapers. It lias given its 4-
4 paper amy. It has had scores 4
4 of papers distributed through 4-
4 agents who were afraid to at- 4-
4- tempt to collect for tlioni on ac- 4
4 count of the many " stops " that 4
4 followed a demand for the 4
4 money. 4
4 It has run at a loss of fully 4
4 $1000 a week on an average 4
j 4 since it stnrtcd. This deficit 4
4 has been made up by the church 4
4 or by some one vrho acted for 4
4 the church. II. has never been 4
4 able lo collect enough from its 4
4 business for a single month to 4
4 pay its jiapcr bills and its pay 4
4 rolls. Isot a siugle month. 4
4- The Tribune will forfeit $500 4-
4 to charity if it' is not able to 4-
4 prove this is true if there is a 4
4 complete throwing open of the 4
4 books. The "Mouth" has 4
4 copied hundreds of advertise- 4-
4 menfs from Tho Tribune and 4
4 other local newspaper's and run 4-
v them free in order to make it 4
4 appear that it was getting busi- 4
4 ncss. 4
4- It has oven copied advertise- 4
4 ments inserted in The Tribune 4-
4 by officers of The Tribune and 4
4 has carried them for a week at 4-
4 a time. 4-
4 It has been the worst business 4
4 failure in The annals of news- 4-
4 paper making. Why? Because 4
4 it has ljevcr had a mission that 4
4 "was legitimate. There was no 4
4 demand for it except hate. It 4
4 was established by fakirs, who 4
4- bamboozled its promoters into 4-
4- believing the' could put it on 4
4 a pa3'ing basis. This, too, in 4
4 face of the fact that the four 4
4 . other uowspapers were already 4
4 covering the field. This, too. in 4
4 face of the fact that even tho 4
4 Herald has not for years been 4
4 able to collect enough money 4
4 from Its business to pay ex- 4
4 penscs. 4-
4 Vet this organ of Snioot tries 4
4 to tell the people that it has tho 4
4 favor of tho public. It is cer- 4
4 taiulj- doomed to lose thousands 4
4 for its promoters as it has, ac- 4-
4- cording to ono of its stockhold- 4-
4- crs. lost already nearly $100,000. 4-
4 It could not be otherwise. Its 4
4 moving forco is a newspaper 4
4 wrecker. He has wrecked oth- 4
4 or newspapers by his outrageous 4
4 nbuse of everything and every 4-
4 one that is decent. 4-
4 The "Mouth" has been and is 4
4 seriously handicapped. It will 4
4 not tolerate a' complete looking 4
4- into its business. It dare not. 4
4- Neither will tho Horn Id dare do 4
4 it. 4
4 Tho Tribune repeats: It will 4
4 pay to either tho "Mouth" or 4
4 to tho nerald $100 or to charity 4
j 4 $100 immediately after eitlior of 4-
4- these papers consent to a com- 4-

SENATOR STEWART IS
AFTER THIRflFORTUHE
Pluckv Veteran Statesman of
XcVada Not Discouraged
at Age of 80.
CARSON CITY. Aug. W.-To start
out at the nge of nearly four coro
vear to make a third fortune and to
havo the attempt crowned w J
cess, is rather n strenuous undo tnKing
for anyone. And yet ilift
mer Unite,! States Senator V .1 ,ltimh
Stowart. once known as tlio
king" of Nevada, lm onc. . ,
Rimy with plana for developing n -mining
and other proportlei.. Sw mtor
Stewart allowed his eightieth. W1
to past, today almost unnoticed. He t
reminded of the nnnlvcrwiry. howo" ;0J
the receipt of weveral mfs 0f0Pcr
gratulatlon from romo of "B . ii mh
auoclatoB in public Me, men nhom ho
had mot but .seldom In recent ears, but
who mill remember tho lavish liov pltal I )
which the Nevada Senator was uoni Jo
dispense during his many years of real
donee In tho National capital.
Few men. even among tho m0"0
klngB of bannnzn dayn. have win .
: more varied and wonderful sperlonco
than William M Stewart. The accu
mulation and loss of two Immense for
tunes and tho winning of a thin l at
an ago when the great majority of men
aro relegated to the retired list eom
but minor Incidents In his wonderful
caroor. Among the roles h has tl e
In his time, and the most of thom with
marked oucceas. have been those or
tor. lawyer, editor, orator, alo collego
man. Indian fighter, prospector, specula
tor and scientific farmer. Hd was born
In the State of New York, lived a while
In Ohio, then wont to Tale to study Jaw,
When the cry of "Gold In California
was rained in M9 he came West, and,
between the law and mining grow to be
so opulent that ho bocame known as trie
sliver king." But when he was elected
Senator from Nevada ho plunged too
dooply Into the extravagances of capi
tal life, and at the end of twelve years
he found himself poor. But he did not
despair. Again he came back to the
West for a fortune, dug It out of tho
earth In the form of precious ore and
! soon found himself again a millionaire.
Power returned with fortune, and tn 188 1
he wna again elected to the United States
Senate.
For a time lie was a. groater power in
politics than before. Ho was at the head
of that group of Republican delegates
who withdrew from the St. Louis con
vention In 1896 because the majority ro
fuscu a bimetallism plank and declared
for a gold standard. Stewart was an ar
dent silver man and the success ot the
gold standard dealt him a hard blow.
Unwise speculation and other unremu
neratlve enterprises in a few more years
reduced him once more to the lower
financial level.
So, two years ago last Starch his
term ended, he bade good-bye to his
friends In the Senate and returned once
more to the scenes of his former tri
umphs to again wroL a fortune from the
rocks.
When he returned to Nevada the last
tlmo it was known among liis frlendo
that he was almost "down and out" finan
cially. But he went to work with his
old-time courage, and with his knowl-
edge of mines and mining things ere
long begon to come his way again. Be
fore a year had elapsed he hail mado a
good start. It Is believed that he Is now
worth at least a quarter of a million dol
lars and possibly much more. He has
shelved his social and political ambi
tions and declares that this fortuno his
third will not go like tho others.
