HORSE DEFIED
LOCKED DOORS
FEAT OF HENRY @. HAWKES. NAG
MYSTIFIES.
Candidate for County Treasurer Had
a Strenuous Time After a Sylvan
Social Out Corcoran Way, and Mar
rowly Missed Having to Walk to the
ritxy

Horses, horses everywhere and not
a single old nag to pull me to Min
neapolis, sighed Henry G. Hanke as
he stood disconsolately Beside the
road that leads from Corcoran to Mill
neapolis, twenty miles away, and en-
happy country folk go hurrying home.
1t was early Sunday morning,
SO early in fact that dim streaks
of red were just beginning to
tinge the eastern horizon. Henry
had been in attendance at a
sylvan social where the habitants
of the countryside for miles around
had gathered and passed the larger
part of the night in a relaxation from
the strenuous labor of harvesting.
At the conclusion of the festivities
Mr.. Hanke and two of his friends from
the city went to the village black
smithshop where he had stabbed his
horse. He found the smithy, unlocked
the shop and to his dismay found it
empty. Sadie had fled, no one could
tell whittier, and Henry was left with
a two-seated rig and no locomotive
power except his own.
A search for a substitute was begun
and lasted long, the stranded friends
visiting all the surrounding houses
and fields thinking the While about
pedestrian stunts of all descriptions.
We're secured and the party proceeded
as far as Hamel, where the drivers
| willingness to proceed faded.
| It was a case of over Sunday in
Hamel and Mr.. Hanke looked sad.
AT last, however, a pedestrian APP
| peared, who said he had seen a horse
in harness about mile down the road
quietly proceeding. toward Minneapo-
lis. Wild efforts succeeded in hiring
a rig and a flyer was sent out after the
straying beast. Success crowned this
effort and eight miles from her start
| ing point the mare was caught and
returned to pull the party home.
Mystery surrounds the horses get
away and talk Of it is rife thru the
| district. The blacksmith says he
locked up his shop and the horse in il
| when he retired, and the locks had
not been tempered with. Mr.. Hanke
is considering writing a short detect.

Bla or How the Horse
/ Defied Locked Doors" AS a common.
tary on the incident he said last nigh
that hunting a runaway horse over

Police Won't Be Lenient With Intoxicated
Persons in the Future.
Police officers will hereafter show no
leniency to intoxicated persons. They will
not tell them to go home and sober up,
but will Immediately lock them up where
they will be out of danger.
Until lately man was not arrested un-
less he was practically helpless, but many
accidents have resulted from this leni-
ency. Two intoxicated men have been
killed in the last month, and it is believed
that their lives might have been saved
had they been put into a cell. The police
believe that If man is intoxicated on
the streets and cannot take care Of him
self it is a matter of mercy to arrest
him.

Good Citizenship" was the subject of
an address delivered by Mayor j. G.
Haynes before an audience Of colored
people at st. James church and social

The mayor praised the work Of the set
Element, especially that Of industrial edu-
cation. He declared that good citizenship
is a priceless boon and is something that
should be coveted and fought for At one
time the colored people could not boast
Of any kind Of citizenship, but now the
consciousness Of being the equal of the
best of their fellows in good citizenship
has been conferred upon many Of them.
He said that it would be a thankless
task to perform his duties as mayor with
out feeling that he had in a measure the
confidence and esteem of all classes of
citizens.

THE RECLAMATION ACT.
Some History as to Why 1t Should be Known
as the National Irrigation Act.

We are in receipt of a speech
delivered by Senator Newlands in
the United States Senate on
March rs entitled Reform of the
Land Laws" We have read it
twice through very carefully for
a worthy reason. 1t appears that
while in San Francisco recently
the Senator from Nevada supplied
the Examiner with some modest
hot air to the effect that the whole
Republican Party from center to
circumference was agitated, dis
tressed, and even panic-stricken
st the effect upon the country
which the knowledge that he was
the sole author, originator and
preemptor of all the credit of the
National Irrigation law was hav-
ing, and that as the result of a
series of conferences held in the
White House and participated in
by the President, the edict had
gone forth that hereafter the Irri-
CATION Act should always be spok-
en- of as the National Irrigation
law instead of the "Newiands r.
rigation law"
1t was even insinuated that the
Introductory adjective in the
former case was as strong, con-
vincing and euphonious as in the
latter. But, be that as it may, the
article contained a realistic ac-
count taken from life at the usual
Examiner rate per hot-air word of
how all over the East at the pres
ent time Republican spellbinders,
in the midst of their eloquence
about the irrigation act, from COM
mon force of habit let slip the
words, "Newlands Irrigation act"
and then have to flop all over
themselves saying that they mean
the National Irrigation act.
Therefore, with the ringing
sentences of the Examiner article
throbbing in our brain, and the
graphic picture of the straits OF
the Republican party in the matter
before US as a sort of political
nightmare, and four thousand Re-
publican spellbinders trying to
school their recalcitrant tongues
to say National Irrigation act"
instead of "Newlands Irrigation
act" we picked up this speech.
If there was one thing we ex-
pected to find in this profound
contribution to the water question
it was the words, "Newlands Irri-
cation act" scattered through it
like mama in the Wilderness.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1904-07-02

the last day of the Fifty-Sixth
Congress. A few months later,
Roosevelt, a western man, sue
ceeded the martyred Mckinley as
President and when he sent in his
message to Congress the following
December it contained a ringing
recommendation for the irrigation
of the Arid West. Roosevelt was
the first President who ever ad-
vocated irrigation legislation and
he did SO aggressively. At once
the hopes of Western members of
Congress rose to the zenith.
There was a deluge of irrigation
bills representing every conceiv-
able phase of the question.
Western members finally saw that
they must unite upon bill and
fight as a unit. A meeting was
called of all western members
and an organization effected with
Senator Hansbrough chairman
and Congressman Newlands secre-
tary. Sessions were held for two
months at the end of which time
bill was agreed upon. A copy
of it was introduced simultaneous
ly in the Senate and House by
Hansbrough and Newlands re-
spectively. Hansbrough's bill
was taken up and passed by the
Senate. 1t went to the House
and there was buried in the Public
Lands Committee, where the bill
introduced by Newlands had also
received sepulchre. Here it rested
in allegiance for weeks until its
friends gave up all hope of its
passage. Finally the National
Irrigation Association sent a dele
cation to Washington to ask the
intercession of Roosevelt. The
President stated that as it stood
the bill was Objectionable since it
permitted land owners to reap the
advantages of the law, and that
the bill must be amended to make
the provisions of the Homestead
Act apply to all lands reclaimed.
Roosevelt sent for Chairman
Mendell and others-doubtless in
Guiding Senator Newlands-of the
Public Lands Committee and sug-
gested the necessity of amending
the bill. The bill was thereupon
amended to meet his objections
when the President undertook to
induce the House leaders to pass
it. Speaker Henderson and other
members were called to the White
House until finally the word went
forth that the bill was to pass, and
it did pass. And the bill which
passed was the Hansbrough bill.
The foregoing is the history of
the National" or "Newlands"
Act, and at the meeting of the
National Irrigation Congress held
at Ogden, Utah, last year, a reso-
luton was adopted bestowing the
great need of credit for its pass
age upon the President of the
United States, and referring to it
as the National irrigation law
