THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

A petition is being circulated here
saws the Reno State Journal, praying
Congress to pass a law ceding in trust
10 Tho states and Territories OF the
arid region, all the public lands
within their borders, for the purpose
Of developing irrigation to render such
lands az are now arid, fertile, and
capable OF supporting a population.
The question for Congress TO on
alder in relation to this matter, is
| whether il is better for the public to
have the State Government control
| such lands2 At present a poor man
| with a few acres OF alfalfa land and
| plenty OF outside range for his cows or
| sheep, can live in Nevada. Deprive
| him OF the free range and compel him
to confine his stock to his ranch, and
| you impoverish him or drive him from
the State. II the lands are coded to
the State the Legislature will have the
disposal Of them. Can the people
trust such a legislative body as that
| which convened at Carson last Winter
| with the control of all the public lands
in Nevada? A majority of that Leg
i~slature ignored the will Of the quail
fed electors, constitutionally ex-
pressed at the ballot box on the Con-
stitutional Convention question, and
some say they did it without price.
Concedingsu to be the fact, imagine,
ii you can, what that majority would
not have done for money? Why 1t
would divide the State into ranges and
sell the ranges for ten cents an acre
for a part OF the proceeds.
But aside from this consideration
Nevada is not financially able to re-
claim those desert lands, and it would
have to dispose OF them, not in quarter
sections nor ever in townships, as
purchasers could not be found for
them in small lots, but in tracts oil
fifty thousand or more acres. A few
men would soon own all the lands OF
any value, and a settler coming to the
State would have to accept the terms
Of the land holder, however burden
some.
Let Congress provide for sinking arte-
sian wells on arid lands and for deter
mining where water can be stored,
and estimating the cost Of storage,
but keep what little of the public do
main is left for actual settlers.

A.CarIin E~Iopement.

The good people of Carlin are
shocked and the gossips made happy
over the elopement Of the ~l6-year-old
daughter of a shoemaker at that place
with a well-known conductor, formerly
OF the Humboldt but now Of the Salt
Lake division. 1t was not exactly an
elopement either, but amounted to
the same thing. The young lady had
been OH a visit to relatives at Palisade,
and she left there Saturday evening
ostensibly for home, but instead went
on through to Ogden, where she
joined her intended and they were
married Monday morning. 1t is said
that the irate father OF the girl will

The intelligence Of the horse has
lately been demonstrated at Visper,
N. Y. Among a herd of horses in a
field there was a mare and a sucking
colt. A few days ago the mother
partly pulled one OF her shoes off.
With a great deal of "horse sense she
jumped out Of the pasture and went to
the blacksmith shop. The smith
started to drive the animal away, but
finally discovered and reset the bent
shoe. The mare then went con-
tentedly back to the pasture, scaled

II saw " balloon ascension and para

ern league clubs, "that was very inter-
esting. The balloonist Leroy made an
aerial trip from a small town near Aus
TIN one day and was to make parachute
leap. When at an altitude of about
1000 feet he suddenly recollected that
his parachute was brand new one and
had never been tested. Not caring 10
risk the thing he attached fifty pound
sack Of sand (ballast) to the parachute
and cut it loose. AS he feared, the thing

a streak to the earth, gaining momentum

they struck the wooden roof of house

and in due time, as the hot air gradually
escaped, sank slowly to earth in the
midst Of a farm several miles from the
town. The farm hands had observed its
coming, and when it alighted seized
upon the airship, which was valuable

property of the owner of the land be-
cause it had landed there. The rights
of Professor Leroy, who happened to
have landed right with his property,
were entirely ignored. But the captors

by the professors sandbag and the dam
age consequent thereto had to be re-
paired and settled for at his expense.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Thursday, September Goth, will be a
gala day in Los Angeles. The great
John Robinson circus, with the spectacle
of Solomon, his temple, aud the queen
OF Sheba, will be the attraction. Astreet
parade will occur in the morning, and an
afternoon and evening performance will
be given, commencing at 2 and O'Clock,
respectively. The following is an ex-
tract from notice which appeared in
the San Francisco Chronicle, September
18th:
The beating of drums and blare of
trumpets brought every one to stand
ing position during the gorgeous entry
of King Solomon and his court. Then
came band of acrobats, and applause
at the entrance of the Queen of Sheba
and her dancing attendants, and finally
an enthusiastic demonstration, occa-
stoned by the glittering ballet. The fair
equestriennes, Louise de Mott and
Emma Lake, were cheered to the echo,
and words fail to describe the impress
sion made by ]. G. Robinson and Rob-
ert Stickney, in their riding OF four
horses at one time.
The acrobats, tumblers and gymnasts
were watched with breathless interest !;
the clowns exerted themselves to amuse,
and even the animals seemed anxious to
please in the grand series of hippodrome
races which brought the programme to
a conclusion.
