REWLANDS AND ROOSEVELT
ON RECLAMATION

1T will be recalled that during
the campaign of 1904, a good deal
was said about the authorship of
the reclamation Law and MIR. Roose-
weir, then a candidate for re-slec-
ton, took ~anoactire part. Certain
cabinet officers were sent out
whom, preEu nably BY instruction
of their chief, made the most ex-
~travagant claims TO. their party
and particularly for Mr.. Roosevelt
and denied that Senator Newlands
was especially active or influential
in the matter. 1t is interesting,
therefore, to note that Mr.. Raose-
welt has now, doubtless as the re-
suit Of more mature reflection,
made a very different statement
upon the subject, written by him
and syndicated by the Outlook, OF
which he is contributing editor, in
a widely Published series of articles
under the title of Chapters of a
Possible Autobiography" In one
of these chapters Mr.. Roosevelt
says:
Senator Francis G. Newlanjs of
Nevada fought hard for the cause
Of reclamation in Congress. He at
tempted TO get his State to act, and
when that proved hopeless, to get
the nation to act.
BY far the most effective of the
Senators in drafting and pushing
The bill. which became known by
his name, was NewIands. The draft
of the bill was worked over by me
and others at several conferences
and revised in important particu-
lars; my active interference was
necessary to prevent it from being
made unavoidable by an undue in
sistence upon States rights, in &C.
cordancp with the efforts of Mr..
Mondell and other Congressman,
who consistently fought for local
and private interests as against the
interests ri the people as a whole"

YOUNG MAN ATTACKED
BY MOUNTAIN LIONS

Archie Ferry of Parker, who was
in Ely on business last week, while
on his return home was attacked
by two mountain lions while in the
neighborhood Of Blue Mass ranch in
the head of Pleasant valley. See
ing that the animals were desper-
ate with hunger and were about to
attack him, young Ferry opened
fire on them with his revolver and
fired six or seven shots, wounding
one Of the beasts. Mr.. Ferry then
took refuge in a tree and as he him.
self says in describing the advent
IRE, the two lions fairly danced d
jig below hi as he perched in
the branches. He kept plunking
away al them until his last shell
was gone and after keeping watch
on him for about two hours the
lions withdrew t6 the thick timber
while their intended victim made
his escape with all possible haste

THE MIKESfLL FAMILY

The Mikesell family that blew
into Elko the day before Christmas
has reached Tonopah. The Bonanza
says the family was destitute and
suffering. The Womans Relief
Corps and the Elks took them in
charge and made them comfortable.
The Bonanza says the management
of the household was left to a 16
year old daughter who proved her
self a child of excellent training.
When the tent provided for the
family was erected, the girls first
thought was to sweep the ground.
She had no broom, but she did
have a scrubbing brush and with
this she cleaned the soor OF the
tent so there was not a speck of
dust visible. Then she installed a
camp stove and prepared the first
substantial meal the family had
enjoyed for several weeks.
AT Tonopah the family said they
were on the way to Arizona. Here
they said Fonopah was their oh
jectire point.
