that no vacancy exists in the office of

qualifying as governor, and that no spe-
cial election should be held.

Brussels. Feb. 19.-As the earth is
awakened by the gentle breezes of
spring and induced to clothe herself in
new glory, woman follows her example,
takes advantage OF all that art and
good taste places before her, and arises
like a phoenix from the ashes of last
seasons fashions.
Dainty stuffs viii be the order Of
the day, and fine silks, grenadines,
canvas and g3aZes viii be equally
favored by fashion. Costumes made
of these goods VIII have the great ad-
vantage Of being cOnlme-il-faut for the
promenade, as well as for visiting or
receptions
For silk gowns we would choose
suTah, Peru de Cygne and Louisine,
and others having a soft and light
effect and dainty coloring. As TO the
forms of the different parts of the
toilette we know that great changes
have taken place since last summer.
The sleeves have become very much
narrower and all fullness, if any, is at
the shoulder. The sleeves of our spring
models are quite tight. Flounces Of
real lace, pleated silk, ribbon or gauze
relieve the severe lines at the shoulder.
The fuilness Of the skirt, while still
f-arsiTlu somewhat ar he sides 10
ly gathered at the back. and the spring
viii show us many trimmed skirts
The trimmings VIII consist of lace in
sorting, embroidery, bands of passe-
nenterie, and bias folds OF the same
goods as the dress and generally
placed around the whole width Of the
skirt In fact, the Imagination of the
dressmaker can be given full liberty,
50 various viii be the trimmings and
the mode of putting them on.
For the grand Robe de Ceremonie,
satin duchess. rich faille and heavy
irocades of Louis XIV style will be
chosen, and above all one can predict
particular success TO MORE ANTIQUE.

as it seems TO combine better than any
other silk with rich trimmings, laces
or embroideries-
Evening gowns viii again be cut
with a train. a fashion for which we
are very grateful, as the skirt, no mat

wearer the air OF elegance and dignity
which distinguishes the trained robe.

Mr.. Snow offered an amendment il
the following words:
After the word Villages and before
the word they insert: 'Or where
the Inhabitants of cities, towns, or vii
lagos have used grazing lands continu-
ously for a period of ten years fol
grazing purposes
The president called Senator Harbour
to the chair and took the floor to ad-
vocate the measure, saying it was a
good provision.
Mr.. Evans did not like the wording
because it might produce conflicts
strife and litigation over lands, sc
many claiming preference rights. The
bill as amended did not allude TO ter
years or any other term and was the
safer plan. If the ten year plan was
adopted wealthy men could come in
and deprive bona fide residents of theil
rights.
Senator Nebeker of Rich said such an
amendment ought to prevail The citi-
zens of Lehi, Draper and Alpine ought
to have the preference right to lease
these lands and this amendment pro-
vided the best methods
the state was peopled with inhabitants
most of whom owned cattle. The sheep
have destroyed the ranges and the viii
layers need protection for their stock
ranges.
Mr.. Evans declared he was working
for what he believed to be right and
while he felt that he was going to be
defeated he was going down in the be-
lief that he was right

Lehi needed the Law
City senator, City" exclaimed Mr..
Evans.
Il beg your pardon. The city of
Lehi and the city" where Senator
Johnson lives needs this law"
The amendment prevailed.
Mr.. Rideout moved an amendment re-
stricting the amount to be leased to
$4,000 acres by any firm, person or cor
poration.
President Nebeker said this would
not prevent any rancher from leasing
1000 acres in his own right and hay-
ing every cowboy in his employ taking
encumbering the statutes with this
kind of legislation.
Senator Rideout said if he did not
know better he would imagine himself
in a Republican senate. There should
be some restrictions.
Mr.. Evans said he was against the
president. There should be some re-
strictions. The same feelings which
prompted him to fight against the Re
publican bill last year seemed 20 be
cropping out. If there was no use in
restricting this amount of grazing
land. then there is no use restricting
any lands. This provision can do no
harm and may do some good. so let it
be incorporated.
Mr.. Hamer said the restriction was
for a large amount, and if there is to
be any restriction at all, let it be less.
Such a restriction was no restriction
at all.
Mr.. Rideout said $4,000 acres was
tract of land nine miles square ard
was an immense amount of land. He
would favor even less, but was willing
to let this go to a vote.
The amendment prevailed.
