about Benjamin Franklin Jones, the

of the American Iron and Steel asso-

Blaine for the presidency. and he was
chairman of the Republican national
committee during the campaign that
followed. He was devoted admrer
of the Plumed knight, and prided him

NJ B. Johnson Demonstrates that Sufficient Water Can Be Sc
cured from Wells for Irrigation Purposes

In December, 1910 M. B. johnson,
the well-known cigar manufacturer,
started to bore for water on his 800
acre ranch, situated between seven and
water strata was encountered at a
depth of 26 feet, but he kept on and
sunk to depth of 126 feet before he
struck satisfactory flow.
As this one well would not supply
sufficient water for his needs, Mr..
Johnson last June commenced on an
other, few feet distant from the first
well. This was sunk to a depth of
404 feet, when fine flow was struck,
the water in both wells coming to
within 26 feet of the surface. A res
ervoir was then constructed between
the two wells, s feet in circumference
and 32 feet deep, into which both wells
constantly flow, giving practically an
artesian well.
This reservoir was equipped with a
15-horsepower engine, which pumps
water into the irrigating bitches, the
pump setting 20 feet in the well, or
three feet below where the streams
empty in from the two wells.
Last spring Mr.. johnson set out
225 fruit trees, losing only about ten
per cent, the balance coming through
in a thriving condition. Several acres
were planted to potatoes, which yield
ed fair crop. Last fall about As
acres were sown to winter wheat and
several acres to grass seed both of
which crops are in good condition at
the present writing. 1t is estimated
that from these two wells an abund-
ance Of water may be furnished to ir-
rigate IS acres. A test of the engine
shows that it will pump from 175 to
200 gallons per minute.

RAYNOR PAYS RE-
SPECTS TO TEDDY

Reversal of judicial decisions by
popular vote, as proposed by ex-
President Roosevelt in his Columbus
address last week, was denounced in
the senate Tuesday by Senator Ray
ner, of Maryland, as 'the most dan
gerous doctrine ever brought forward
by any one who has the slightest re-
gard for the stability of our institu-
tions and whose opinion is entitled to
any weight or respect.
elf a proposition of this sort had
been advanced by an ordinary agitat-
or, or by an anarchist said Senator
Raynor, mo attention would be paid
to it and it would involve no actual
danger to the republic We must real
ize, however, that this is the utterance
of political leader who occupies to-
day as prominent place before the
public as anyone in the country.
People who regard this merely as
a flippant and impulsive utterance of
candidate for public Office are max
ing great mistake. In my Judgment
the ex-president has been reflecting
over this proposition for years. He
has always been hostile to the decis-
ions of the courts whenever they con-
flicted with his own views.
During the whole of his admins
tration he had an idea lingering in his
mind that it was the duty of the
courts to carry out the policy of the
executive branch of the government,
and this belief was connected with an
other idea. and that was that, so far
as executive functions were concerned,
he was absolutely supreme, unlimited
by the specifications of the instru-
ment that created them.
Possessed With Mad Fancy.
"I believe that there is a large
number of Mr.. Roosevelt's followers
in this country who would today fa-
vor vesting in him autocratic power.
Our institutions underwent radical
change under his administration. He
inaugurated new era of constitu-
tional thought.
He is possessed with mad fancy
that this is and ought to be an execu-
tive government, that the powers of
the executive ought to overrule those
of the legislative and judicial branches
of the public service.
"By all the patronage and all the
power that he can command he prac-
tically would force upon the country
an Interpretation of our organic law
that will level its distinctions and OBJ
literate its checks and balances. He
will then, in the pursuit of his own in
satiable ambition, possess a degree of
autocratic power that no president of
these United States has ever attained
or would have ever dared to exercise,
except at the risk of impeachment.
eff we care to pass in again under
his yoke, with his outstretched arm
under his latest utterance hanging
over the seat of Justice, the refuge
and bulwark of our institutions. ready
to strike it down, then It would have
been better if the constitution never
would have been framed. f"

CARSON CITY MAN
WILL BUILD WIND MILLS

W. Brougher was departure for
the coast last night While in San
Francisco he will see to the manufac-
ture of one of his new wind mills
which is to be put to work on his farm
near the Hot Springs. Mr.. Brougher
is interested in the invention and be-
lieves that he has solved the irrigation
problem for the arid sections where
power is necessary for pumping. The
big mill will be in operation within a
short time, being supplied with water
from the new wells he has had dug on
the farm. Eighty acres of land have
been cleared and will be seeded to
wheat and alfalfa.-Carson Appeal

THOMAS INCORPORATES
A NEW COMPANY

Thomas Cafe, Incorporated, is the
name of a $4,000 company applying
for charter and fling articles yes
terday in the county clerk g Office and
the story represents something of an
innovation in the restaurant business.
1t is proposed by the local restau-
rant man and associates to not only
maintain the present cafe in Reno but
to operate a string of similar places
in California, keeping the same dis
tinctve style in all.
Among the incorporators are w. O.
Thomas. James Eddie') Edwards,
and Attorney N. J. Berry, of this city.
1t is intended to buy produce in
wholesale lots and perfect plan of
distribution which win bring the cost
to a minimum.
Asked Yesterday whether the serv-
ing of hash and such standbys would
be altered through the string each
succeeding day of the week, he said
this would not be the case, but this
might be done with the orchestra and

THE INCREASED
ELECTORAL COLLEGE

Under the new apportioument of
representatives in congress, and with
the admission Of New Mexico and Ari-
zona the Electoral College will be re-
constituted and a new basis establish
ed for representation at the national
conventions.
Each state has rs many electoral
votes as it has senators and represen-
tativcs. ln 1909 there were 4s3 mem
bers of the Electoral College. Next
year there will e a32 So 26f votes

Confusion has arisen in some of the
tables Of electoral votes heretofore
published, which wrongly give the to.
tai as 53l The mistake has arisen on
tine assumption that New Mexico had
one representative in congress,
whereas it has two.
The Republicans and Democrats
have bases of representation in their
conventions that differ slightly. Both
parties admit twice as many dele
gates from each state as it has sen
ators and representatives. So the
states will he represented both at
Chicago and Baltimore with 1904 dele
gates. The difference arises in the ter
ritorial representation.
The Republicans admit six delegates
from Hawaii, and two each from
Alaska District of Columbia, Porto
REQ and the Philippines, thus making
total of lots delegates

be bored until enough water has been
secured to irrigate the entire tract.
Mr.. Johnson is firm believer in the
possibilities of the sagebrush soil and
his unaided efforts in illustrating the
practicability of irrigating the land
by means of wells and pumping plants
has marked an epoch in the agricul-
tural development of the state.
Other Wells in Vicinity.
G. f. Heubach, who owns a ranch in
the vicinity has sunk well to a
depth of 1873 feet At 1875 feet the
strata of water struck by Mr.. John
son at the same depth was encountered.
In the spring Mr.. Heubach will con-
tinue work on the well until it has
reached the depth of .Iohnson's second
well, 404 feet.
C. F. Reeder, the Spokane man who
purchased Is sections of land in the
Willow Point neighborhood from the
Southern Pacific company, has pur-
chased standard rig. As soon as his
contracts with the compapv have been
signed up and delivered he will begin
sinking wells, with the intention of
boring holes at intervals over the en-
tire tract.
Still Selling Lands.
On the first of the present month
the Southern Pacific placed on the
market 1900 acres of land, at prices
ranging from $3.50 to $500 per acre,
payable in ten annual instalments. AS
reported in the Silver State, on the
Goth of the month over $4,000 acres
had been sold. Since that time about
1000 acres more have been disposd of,
making total of $4,000 acres for the
month.
Yesterday the last tract in this
township was sold at the San Francis
co Office. As the homeseekers' excur-
sions from the east will begin next
week, it is probable that by the end of
March very little of the $1,000 acres
will remain unsold.

NIXON AND ROB-
ERTS FAVOR TAFT

special to the Gazette Yesterday
from Washington says that a represen-
tative Of that paper asked Senator
Nixon the following question
Do you favor the denomination of
President Taft and whyp'
His reply follows:
Yes, ] favor the denomination of
President Taft because / believe he
has given the American people an ad-
mirable administration and, as it has
been an unwrittn rule of the Republi-
can party under such circumstances to
give the president two terms, / feel
that to refuse this honor to President
Taft would be breach Of political
good faith and suicidal to future party
organizations.
You can say to the people of Ne
vada through the Gazette that / in
tend TO use every honorable means to
bring about the denomination and re-
election of President Taft.
Congressman Roberts defined his po-
siticn as follows:
"T believe that President Taft is
entitled to denomination and / intend
to use every reputable resource to as
sist him. ] firmly believe that he is one
of the greatest presidents we have
ever had. -
