THE STATE LANDS.

Notwithstanding the board OF
University Regents appeared to be
aetuated by good reasons for raising
the price of State lands bordering
on water, there is considerable COM
plant on the part Of portion Of
the press of the State. The Silver
State argues that the sale o. lands
is virtually ended for the present,
and while stockmen can use the
ranges the same as if they owned
them, the lands are not assessable
and the school will be minus the
interests on the price Of the lands
The Reno Gazette says: The ef-
feet of the order of the Board OF
Regents putting the State price OF
land at double that Of the General
Governments, will be simply to di-
vert all moneys paid for land from
Carson to Washington" A mem
Der of the Board Of Regents says
that the rise in price was owing to
a system of land piracy the State
has been regularly swindled In
every real estate transaction In
which her interests were concerned.
The man who bought 40 acres OF
land contiguous to spring, river,
Of lake had the actual possession
and enjoyment of, perhaps ten or
twenty thousand acres adjacent
thereto without the latter costing
him a nickel. The reason IS obvl-
Gus. So long as the buyer holds .
good title to the land bordering on
a stream he is monarch of all he
can see beyond and around that
stream. The owner of forty acres
upon which exists spring thus has
a free range, or pasturage OF several
square miles and the State is out OF
pocket by the operation. In Illus
tration of this evil we can cite one
case out of thousand. In a GER
tain township there are about 25,OW
acres of land, but only two springs.
At 81 Is an acre this township
ought to realize for the State the
sum of $3l,25O. But the land pi-
rate knows that by buying up the
land Immediately surrounding the
springs he practically becomes the
owner Of 5000 acres. He there
fore buys the smallest subdivision
which the law permits, that is 40
acres, around each spring. For
these two small tracts he pays $lOO,
and after giving $40 on account ne
is allowed twenty years in which to
pay the balance. That for which
he ought to pay $31 $50 he gets for
500. In other words the State has
been selling these water-grabbers,
mainly consisting of rich and
powerful syndicate of cattlemen,
her selected lands at the rate OF
less than half cent an acre"
lisa poor cause that has but
one side that will bear inspection.
All three of the arguments pro-
duced have merit, but for comb
nation of reasons we believe the
Regents will be upheld by the bulk
of the people Of the State, especial
" at the present stage of the game
Water is a comparatively scarce
article in Nevada, and if her cattle
and ranch resources are to be en-
ioyed by a considerably greater
number of people than at present
the article should not be given to a
few for a mere song; and as the min
ing industry now is throughout
the State many of our people, IN
order to remain with us, must so
branch out in order to obtain a
livelihood. Times and conditions
change, and our oponions and views
must change with them

You must put your whole head in

like to enjoy themselves heartily in
a good old fashioned way should be
sure to see this play. The Cotton
family promises to keep on improv-

stage. Idalene Cotton is a clever
and precocious child, with an adj
mirable talent for singing, dancing

large, and include many people who

MRS. MAcDONALD,s DEATH

MRS. MACD0NALD,S DEATH
Drowned in the Reservoir While
Skating With Her Husband
The Reno Gazette gives the fol-
lowing account of the drowning of
Mrs. Macdonald at Reno on Thurs
day:
This morning about IL o'clock.
while F. Fl. Macdonald, manager
of the Western Union telegraph
Office, his wife and Miss Eta
Smith were skating on the water
company's reservoir, the ice broke
and the whole three went into the
water. Mac called to the two la
dies to remain perfectly quiet and
would get board and help them
out. Miss Smith kept perfectly
still, but as Mrs. Macdonald be-
came. chilled through in the icy
water, she began raising herself by
her elbows, and the ice kept break
ing with her until she got into deep
waterand disappeared. Every time
she put her elbow. on the rotten
ice and raised herself, the ice
would break, and she would go in
over her head. 1t took Mac. nearly
half an hour to get to shore, and
before he could relieve Miss Smith |
from her trying position she began |
to get nervous and tried to lift her
self out. If she had lost her self |
control she would undoubtedly have
been lost. Long before they got
out, Mrs. Macdonald had disap-
oeared, and they wisely concluded
o seek assistance before making
my fruitless effort to find her.
A great number of people gath
red at the reservoir as soon as the
Jews spread and it was not long
'efore the poor, pale face of the
rowned lady was seen among the
roken ice. A rope was put around
rank Pellard's waist, and as he
1as the lightest man to be found
e was sent out on a rough board
latform to fasten a rope to the
ody. It was rescued after having
cen in the water about an hour
nd quarter.
Mrs. Macdonald was a lady of
'vely character, and was most
ighly esteemed by all who knew
er. The affection between her
nd her husband was most touch
g, they having been children to-
,ther, and all their lives acquain-
d. They have lived in Reno
,out seven years.
