FATHER OF IRRIGATION
SYSTEM

From an official report of the 1rriga-
ton Congress, of which Colonel Maxon
was secretary for eight years, it appears
that he has devoted more time and
money in proportion to his means than
any other man in Nevada, during the
dark days when the public were being
enlightened along the lines of the posi-
bilities of irrigation in the arid west
We send out through this issue his re-
port as secretary delivered before the
National Irrigation Congress held at Col
orado Springs, shortly after the passage
of the Reclamation Act by Congress. 1t
shows that Colonel Maxson was one of a
committee of three who went to Wash
ington at their own expense and ap-
peared before the committees on irriga-
ton on arid land to plead the necessity
for making homes in the arid west; it
also shows Colonel Maxson as one of the
original seven men who met at Wichita.
Kansas, at the great Mississippi
Congress, and there made the great
fight which consolidated the ideas of the
different representatives of the west and
set aside the evasive ideas of the State
sessionists and adopted the storage res
ervoir plan which was adopted by all
western representatives in congress, of
the seventeen arid States and Territor-
les, who in turn worked side by side in
in congress for the good of the arid
west, waving all political affiliations,
and every arid State owes debt of graf
itude to its representatives in congress
who did his duty we'll and brought about
the passage of the Reclamation Act in
response to message to congress from
President Roosevelt recommending the
same, but the foundation for this was
certainly laid in the National Irrigation
Congress, and the Trans Mississippi
Congress which in yearly sessions advo-
Gated such for the arid west in every
session, and whose combined acts by the
respective menlin those congresses aided
in the molding of public opinion to that
degree where the national representa-
tives in congress met and did finally
pass the National Irrigation law.

DON'T SWAP HORSES IN The
MIDDLE OF THE STREAM"

Voters, when they understand, will
not forget their servants who have served
them we'll. faithfully and successfully.
To be appreciated and endorsed for faith
full and efficient work is the greatest in
centive to good service. The tried and
faithful servant is as widely differenti-
ated from the new and untried as an alb
solute demonstration is removed from
mere conjecture-a mere guess. The
district attorney of Lyon county is spec
tally charged with guarding and defend
ing the interests and welfare of the
county.
Hon. John Lothrop, as district attorney
of Lyon county. has done this with sing
ular ability fidelity, and as we Judge
the future by the past, we are positively
certain that If he is entrusted with that
Office for the next two years, he will
ably and faithfully guard and defend all
the interests pertaining to Lyon county.
AS district attorney he has won three
cases for Lyon county, in dispute over
boundary lines, two from Douglas
county, and one from Storey county.
He prepared all of these cases for trial
and assisted in conducting same to sue
cessful issue, up to the present time, as
the suit between Lyon and Storey coun'
ties is now pending on motion for new
trial on the part of Storey county, the
last mentioned county was defeated in
the district court of Ormsby county. Al
There is at issue more than two hundred
thousand dollars in taxable property, Il
It not better business that he continue
this contest as district attorney than tina
the county employ him as a private at
ftorney to carry the case to successful

a whole.
Senator Smith takes the position
that 1T is the Aldrich bill or nothing"
Several dates for a vote have been
suggested from time TO time, but for
one reason or another. ii has been
necessary to postpone the time. The
reason for the delay, as stated on the
iioor Today by Senator Aidrich. Is that
several senator's who desire TO speak

remarks By other business or illness,
in preparing their arguments. 1t APP
