NEED OF soft PEDAL.v
Editor Recognized PrOpriety of Gov
ernor's Answer, According to Judge
Ewing.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 19.-"Well
I'll have to put on the soft pedal"
This is the exclamation that Col.
George Harvey editor Of IIarpers
Weekly, sdeclared to have made
when Gov. Woodrow Wilson. forced
to reply to Col. Harvey's query, said
he feared editorial support in the
Weekly, is declared to have made

ton Of the meeting between Col. Har-
vey and Gov. Wilson with Henry Wat
terson in New York was given out
here today by Judge Robert Ewing
middle Tennessee representative Of
the State Woodrow Wilson organi-
zatioa. Judge Ewing. who is related
by marriage both to Gov. Wilson and
Mr.. Watterson, asserts the COVER
nor's statement to Col. Harvey was
made against the dictates Of person.
al friendship and with the realization
that Harvey support had brought
him (Wilson) to the front"
Judge Ewing's statement begins:
"Col. Harvey's intimates will know
that his editorial utterances were
wholly ultrammelled. He had been
brought into close friendship with
Gov. Woodrow Wilson and had con-
ceived the highest estimate Of his
character"
Then Judge Ewing goes on to tell
how Col. Harvey, through editorials
in Harpers Weekly, championed the
cause of Woodrow Wilson for the
Democratic presidential nomination.
Many. not Knowing the rau! indie
pendence Of Col. Harvey" III state
ment declares, land seeking 10 harm
the Wilson cause. began to indulge in
all sorts Of conjectures and uniound-
ed intimations. AS result num-
ber Of Wilson's real frields began to
be of the opinion that perhaps the
Weeklys earnest support was militia
ting against his (WilsOn's) prospects"
Judge Ewing declares Gov. Wilson's
opinion was decidedly contrary to
this view, appreciating that Col. Har-
vey had brought him to the front,
appreciating Harveys support and
feeling ii to be valuable"
Then followed the meeting ia New
York between Gov Wilson, Col. Har-
vey and Col. Watterson. Judge Ewing
declares that at the close Col. Har-
vey arose and said to Gov. Wilson: Il
wish to ask you a question, and l ex-
pect n frank answer. Do you believe
that the booming nature of my ar
tlcles in IIarpers Weekly is injur-
ing your cause?"
Judge Ewing says Gov. Wilson'S
friendship for Col Harvey demanded
that the governor answer in the neg
ative to the question, but that Col.
Harvey had demanded frankness and
that Gov. Wilson was obliged to make
such reply that later his name as can
didate for the Democratic presidential
nominee was removed from the edi-
torial columns Of IIarper's Weekly.
Judge Ewing asserts Col. Harvey eX-
claimed: Well I'll have to put on

RECLAMATION
IS REVIEWED

The report for the month OF
June on the Truckee- Carson pro
ject and at the Lahontan dam, as
published in the Churchill Eagle,
shows that during the fOrepart of
the month a scarcity of water was
experienced, owing primarily to
small accumulatiOnS of snow in
the mountains. but temporarily
accenuated by cool weather which
retarded the melting snow and
caused but light flow in the
streams.
During this period the rotation
system of delivery was adhered
to as closely as possible with ben
efcial results and much economy
of water. After the first week
the rivers began to rise and the
water supply was plentiful the
rest of the month. The gates at
Lake Tahoe remained closed and
the level rose slightly. so that an
appreciable amount Of Storag ge
was secured.
The prospect for the late sum-
mer months. however. is that
there will be a rather serious wat
er shortage. Construction work
work was continued at Lahontan
with approximately $50 men and
"a animals. The season. though
backward. has been rather favor
able for the growth of crops. Al
falfa was in especially good cond-
ition toward the close of the
month and apparently there will
be a considerable fruit crop.
The farmers are feeling reason
able encouraged, Notwithstanding
the prospect for short water later
in the season.

MANY CAMPERS COME
BY THE AUTO ROUTE

The automobile camper is now
more common than the parties
with teams. During the past week
several such outfits have pitched
their tents and remained in this
city for several days. The autos
are generally fitted up with the
usual camp outfits and the tour
lists pitch their tent when night
Overtakes them. There is only
one thing that is necessary and
that is water for the machine and

ments. The auto is indeed

merous than horses.

Can the Republicans Vote for Taft

Since this matter came to the
attention Of the leaders of the
party they have been mighty busy
looking up the law on this ques-
ton. There seem to be no pro
visions made for such an over
sight and how they will manage
to place their nominees on the
ticket is a question. They can
hardly go on petition, as con-
vention was called for such a pur-
pose. As there is but one regular
to come, and that for
the regular state and county tick
ct, and it does not provide for for
the Presidential electors, the par
ty leaders are stuck. If possible
they will endeavor to place their
electors on that ticket, if the law
can be so construed.

Der of the Taft fanciers congre-
gated, don t butt in, but just put

There is more than ordinary
doings at the tile plant south OF
this city. Some time ago Mr.
Luhrs Of Carson Valley came here
and made arrangements to set up
one of the first industries in this
county. During the past two
months he has employed number
Of men, believed that he had his
leases to the site regulated and

from the East. The machinery
arrived few days ago and then
it was a question as to where to
place it. IL was finally decided
10 use a small part OF the field ad-
joining the kiln for the manufac-
turing plant Then the trouble
began.
1t was found upon looking up
the records that Ed Sweeney, who
originally owned the ground, had
for the consideration Of one dol
lar sold the same to Matt Rinkle.
This was in the '7O's. But in the
sale Ed Sweeney reserved the
right for himself, his heirs or as
signs to use such portion as was
necessary for. the manufacture OF
brick and kindred industry.
Since that time those using that
portion for brickyard have been
Obliged to lease or rent from Ed
Sweeney. Mr.. Iuhrs followed
the same course and has secured
a lease from the Sweeney claim
ants of the property. This docn-
ment is of record.
A portion Of this field has been
cleared, leveled and put in shape
by Mr.. Brown for the machinery
which had been placed on the
ground upon arrival. Yesterday
