WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
II Pat Holland had Really Done the Fair
Thing.

When the intelligence of Pat Hol-
lands death reached Carson an Obitu-
AIRY notice of the supposed deceased
was written and put in type in this
office. That night dispatch came con-
tradicting the cheering news and now
it appears that Holland started the
story himself as joke that he might
enjoy the reading of the obituary
notices. Not to deprive Holland of the
enjoyment of these perusals, the AP-
PEAL has determined on publishing the
notice as originally put in type, leaving
out only such severe structures as might
under the circumstances prove harsh
reading to the living although perfectly
admissible in abiding to the dead
Hollands:
AT LAST-THE DEVIL CLAIMS HIS OWN
DEATH OF THE NOTORIOUS PAT
HOLLAND.
Last night the news reached this city
that Pat Holland, the we'll known
newspaper man, was thrown from a
buggy and killed at Candelaria. Hol-
land is we'll known on this coast and
h IS lived here since lS49. His genius
in avoiding complications with vigi-
lance committees and at the same time
o lying leg allied hangmen show that
he possessed abilities of a Fare order.
Other men of less capacity (and shorter
legs) would have been strung up long
ago. The stories of his desperate hand
to hand encounters with bad characters
are doubtless untrue. We will give
him the credit Of always presenting
peaceful and law-abiding rear when
like an exit was handy. IL
s54 he took to the stage and by selling
the vegetables during the day thrown
at him during the night, accumulated
a fortune, which he lost by k e. ing 50
drunk that he was unable to distingui h
a twenty dollar piece from Mexican
dollar. But for the silly custom Of
keeping night watchmen in banks
Holland might have died a millionaire |
in his own bed. He was a born leader |
and in several State Prison breaks was
the first to the breach. Whether his |
real name was Holland or simply as
for the exingencles of a nasty |
trip for the west Is not for us to say. |
The refusal of the Central Pacific TO
carry his body over their line will raise
the monopoly in the estimation of the
people of this State, fully recOnciling
them to high tariffs and back freights.
Metals should be resigned to the ways
If Providence when the devil claims
MS own.

An irresponsible Book Agent.

The man who canvassed Carson last
week for the Encyclopedia of Business
Forms has finally disappeared from the
city, leaving his advertising bills un-
paid. He was selling books for Ban

responsible agents.

BALDWIN.s vORA ATTAE LAKE.
The Place Finally Made Fit for the
Tourist.

L
The correspondent Of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin thus tells Of the improve
ments Lucky Baldwin has made al
Lake Bigler. .sThere has for year,
been a hotel at the southern end of the
lake, universally known as "Yank' s."
from the nickname given to its pro
| prietor. From mismanagementa and a
variety of causes the house had become
out of repair and very much run down;
its public patronage had almost ceased;
the proprietor was unable to keep ii
open for another season. In this con-
dition the place was purchased, some
time during the spring, by E. J. Bald
win of San Francisco, who already
owned large amount of land near the
head of the lake. Mr.. Baldwin, with
his accustomed energy, has completely
restored the place. The house has been
thoroughly repaired and refurnished
throughout, the bedrooms, furniture
and beds being of exactly the same des-
cription as those used in the Baldwin
Hotel. Many conveniences and means
of amusement for guests has been added
such as billiard-table, croquet ground;
lawn tennis and the like. The place
has been leased by the Messrs. Sharp,
who are we'll known in the State of
Nevada as the landlords of the Ormshy
House ut Carson. L can say, with the
utmost certainty, that tourists will find
here hotel perfectly neat and we'll
ordered; rooms absolutely clean and
neatly furnished, with admirable beds;
Il table substantially supplied with food
which is exceedingly well cooked, and
rates Of b;mrd by the day or week
which are moderate. In addition %
these accommodations, horses for riding
or driving, and boats for excursions or
fishing, are furnished at prices some-
what less, I believe, than those charged |
at most other places of resort on the |
ment describing the paesent condition
Of the Tallac House is due to Mr.. Bald
win and to his lesees, and also to those
travellers and tourists who may be in
need of accurate information.
1t is Mr.. Baldwin's design to make
this place of resort second in character
md appointment to none within the in
erior of the State. To this end will,
Turing this and the following season,
i'd many other conveniences, and es-
,ecially will improve the roads running
n various directions over the noun
aims and through the forests; will
pen some new ones, will repair the
ridges across the mountain streams,
md thus make it possible that guests
hould enjoy drives over and among
hese wonderful pine forests
which, in my opinion, constitute, per-
laps, re mo. rema .kable and interest
ng feature of the scenery among the
Ugh Sierra"

SAN JOSE, June 29.-About 6 O'Clock
last evening Miss Louise Allen, aged
between II and Is years, who resides
with her mother on Locust street in
this city, set fire to herself While
taking a piece of wood from the stove
her dress caught fire, and becoming
frightened, she ran out, the fame rising
and enveloping her form as she proceed
ed. She had not gone over hundred
yards down the street, screaming at the
top of her voice, when man ran out
and, with a blanket, smothered the
flames. An examination revealed that
one of her limbs, from the ankle up to
the waist, and her back, above the cor
set, was very badly burned, but, thought
suffering int n ey, she will recover.

4 .ocD NIGHTS WORK.
Officer Bob duncan Wins the S.sG0 Prize
for Discovering the Comet

The following circular has been is.
sued by the Rochester Astrnomi .al So
ciety to the press.
MEssRs. EDITORS, Gentlemen:
In all the history of America, 50
many comets have never before been
discovered in SO short space of time.
The last one, of which a description is
given below, seems likely to divide its
honors between MIR. T. l.. Edwards, OF
Pennsylvania, and Edgar; L.. Larllin,
of Illinois, as both of these gentlemen
saw it at about the same time. Due
notice will be given should a priority
of claim to the honor and the 5000
prize be established Ivy either.
c. 5. WHITTEMORE,
faH Es8., L Secretary.
A DISPUTED HONOR.
Two sin ultaneous dispatches have
been received by Prof Swift, of the
Warner Observatory at Rochester, n
Y, by which it appears that another
great comet has been discovered. Prof
Sharpless Of Haveford College, Penn
sylvania, states that l.. T. Edwards
saw it with the naked eye on the morn
ing of June 23d, and Mr.. Edgar Il.
Larkin, of New Windsor, ILL.,, also re-
ports seeing it and that it is vast. The
new comet is located in the constella-
ton of Auriga about degrees from
Capella, and it is not improbable that it
may be the Iauch expected comet of
1872 which should appear not far from
that locality. AS the two dispatches
were received in Rochester simultan-
eously, there is some question as to
the honor Of discovery, and
the Warner prize of $500, belong to
Mr.. Edwards or Mr.. Larkin.
This leaves night Waterman Bob |
Duncan as the original discoverer in !
America On the morning of the 2lst !
It half past two O'Clock he saw the
comet and few hours later described
t to G.. w. Friend as ga star with |
wings" Mr. Friend, who has an ex-
.ellent telescope, made an examination
lext morning and found that Duncan
lad discovered a comet. This is two
lays earlier than either of the discov-
rs mentioned in the Rochester circu-
ar. Carson therefore takes the
redit o f not only havinga comet dis
overer but also a night Waterman
Who is no, asleep at 2:3O A. M.

lain East yesterday.

That Leak" "

The Union comes out under the cap
ton of "a Leak in the Treasury" and
takes occasion to ceDsure our sheriff for
presenting and collecting bill from our
county for services as jailor." He has
but followed the precedence Of his prede.
cessors, and the Commissioners in allow
ng the bills have done that which has
been the custom in this and every
other county in the Territory. Covering
the period during which Mr.. Thompson
has drawn from the Treasury the salary
of jailor, it was absolutely necessary
that some one should give his constant
attention to our jail, as it was crowded
IL l,-.,--.,a .oI --l,,, had made seN
al attempts at escape, rs well As having
friends on the outside who were ready to
deliver the jail at any moment. The
Jail is tumble-down structure and had
the prisoners effected their escape, proba
bly this same journal would now be find
ing fault with the sheriff for not taking
the necessary precaution to insure the
safe-keeping of the criminals in his charge.
1t is impossible for the County officers
to be everywhere at one and the same
time. Neither is it Just that he should be
called upon to defray the expenses OF jail
ors ont of his own pocket, simply because
our iail is an old tumble down structure.
This question Will be decided by the
Court in Yakima country, at its next term
and we hope the matter will be allowed
to rest until we have legal decision on
the subject.

A Lame Argument.

Again the Oregonian attacks the con-
struction of the hcks at the Cascades,
because Captain Baughman, with the
Willamette Chief, having in tow the
Wyatchie, was unable to reach the lower
end of the locks The fact is, Captain
Baughman came I'D over the rapids dis-
lance of over two miles, where the can
al will be constructed. The locks will be
built for only short distance from the
Upper Cascades, 50 as TO overcome the
the most rapid portion Of the river, and
then canal will be made four miles and
a half, to point on the river which can
be reached by any stage OF water. So
the argument of the Oregunian is very fu-
tile. Last fall boat landed at point
with supplies where the men were at
work, within a short distance OF the Up
per Cascades, and even at this stage Of
water, Captain Baughman with his boat
and barge, has come over two miles of the
impediments, which are to be remedied
by the canal, according to the original
survey. If anything at all, this trip is an
argument in favor of shortening the dis
tanee Of the cand.-Dalles Times.

The New York Evening Mail, noting

The New York Evening Mail, noting
the establishment of an independent tele-
graph line from Washington to Chicago,
by the Inter-Ocean, suggests to the New
York Herald the putting up of its own
telegraph wires to all the important news
centres of the country, good newspaper
men the operators, supply itself with all
the news over its own lines, and furnish
to all the newspapers Of the country a
Lews service conducted with Herald en-
terprise and afforded at rates compatible
with Herald liberaiity. 1t well says that
the Herald could thus do more TO encour-
age independent journalism, to improve
the news service of the press, and to en-
hghten the people, than any other posi-
BILE effort or agency that We can think Of
could accomplish. That the time i. CON-

A Fish Out Of Water.

Whatever the presumed editor OF the

read the paper that, as a Journalist per .,
he is FISH out of water. The reader has
but to peruse the last two issues to arrive
at this conclusion beyond peradyenture,
In its issue of February 18th, it oppos-
es the interests Of the whole country and
agrees that " the opposition of the Ore

the plan is. well founded" In its very

a "premeditated one, ty reason "that 1t
is very natural that the o. r. & n. Co.
shonid show determined hostility to the
construction % ths Cssesde csaal;s This
is humbug and crawhshing OF thS Eotst
nature; we lks to see little consistency
even in such paper as the Union has be-
come since Mr. R. NJ. Smith retired
from the control'of its editorial columns
Ddrins the former ownership the inter
ssts of the people were cG6sideted and
the paper could occasionallyibe depended
upon; but now it is far different. The
following extracts; on exactly the same
subject will be convincing testimony:
From the Union OF February 18th,
1881:
"Taking this statement as true, and we
have no reason for doubling its accuracy,
the opposition of the Oregonian to the
further prosecution of the Cascade canal,
on the present plan is well founded. If
a canal cannot be built which will
be easily accessible by ordinary steam
boa.s, the money expended upon it had
as well be expended upon the construc-
tion of a ship railway between Walia
Walla and Wallula."
From the Union, Of February 10Th,
1881:
1.-The canal at the Cascades alone will
make competition possible and profitable.
For that reason, if for no other, the gen.
eral government should foster the scheme
and make liberal appropriations to carry
on the work"
