Recent Decision of Comptroller
of Treasury of Interest
to Western States.
Washington, Nov. 27. Peoplo who
htove contributed labor or material
towards the completion of th Nortli
PJatto reclamation project nnd have
not yot bean paid, will get tholr mo
noy, according to a decision ronder
qd today by tho comptroller of th,o
troasury. In vlow of that fact that
similar conditions to those oxlsting in
the North Platto Valloy apply also
in other localities, this decision is of
opnsidorablo importanco in tho west
ern states.
Persons who wanted to secure wat
or rights aftor tho government work
Wflfl completed called the North Platto
Valley Users' Association. ThlB or
ganization ontoHod into a contract
with tho United States representatives
by which it guaranteed tho payment
by its members of charges assessed
against their lands for water rights
nnd also promised to furnish labor
and material certificates to the
amount of $33,773, of which $12,320
had boon accopted by tho engineor In
chargo as payments upon wator
rights. Then early in December tho
attorney general renderod. nn opinion
mnnt nnil tlin nnannlnMnn wnn vnM
and unwarranted.
As thoro nro no woutstnnding in
tho hands of private holders certif
icates to tho amount of $21,453 nnd
as thoy roproBent work and material
actually furnished to tho reclamation
eorvlco, tho nocrotary of the interior
asked tho comptroller, in view of tho
nttornoy general's opinion, how ho
could discharge tho obligations, Bay
ing that thoro was now in tho recla
mation troasury onough monoy to pay
in cash.
Tho comptroller, in, his doclBlon,
says that payments should bo made
to tho persons who actually did tho
work and that tho more fact that a
person may hold a certlflcato gives
no right to tho payment to him of
tho amount stated on its faco. "Tho
cortiflcatos," ho said, "woro intended
to bo suflfclont ovldonco that tho hol
der had to porform tho sorvlco, or
had paid someono olso to porform it,
or had paid tho original holdor of
oucii certificates its valuo. AVhoro tho
certificates do not show on their face
that they have boon assigned they
would bo prime facie evidence that
the holder performed tho servico or
paid someone, olso to porform it for
him. Tho holdor of an unassigned
certificate should therefore bo pre
sumed to have performed tho servico
and the presentation of this certlfl
cato would bo sufficient evidence of
this fact nnd would ontitle him to
payment, Whoro tho certificates ap
pear to havo beon assigned the holder
by assignment would not bo entitled
to payment. In such cases tho pay
mont, if any, should be made to tho
person to whom the certificates was
originally issued.
"No duty devolves upon tho recla
mation sorvJco to seo that tho asso
ciation makes any paymonts to any
person who performed work or holds
certificates. It Is the duty of the ser
vico to pay the porson who perform
ed tho sorvlco, or procured its per
formance, regardless of who Is now
the holder of fho certificates Issued,
and leave the parties to work out
their cquitioe and legal rights among
themselves.

The "pure food law" is designed
by the government to protect the
public from injurious ingredients in
both food and drugs. It is beneflcltl
both to the public and to the con
scientious manufucturer. Ely's
Cream Balm, a successful remedy
for cold in the head, nasal catarrh,
hay fever, etc., containing no inju
rious drugs, maets fully the require
ments of the new law, and that fact
is prominently stated on every pack
age. It contains none of the inju
rious drugs which are required by
the law to be mentioned on the la
bel. Hence you can use it safely.
