Mr.. Holland was born in New York

man to seek his fortune in the mines.
A early as 1870 he went TO Schellbourn
and had the management ofsome mines
there. and when the mining operations
ceased in that camp he located ranch
in steptoe valley and settled down to
raising cattle and horses.

In another column we publish the
text OF bill recently introduced in
Congress by Senator Foster of Wash
ington. Its aim Is to introduce the sys
tenn ofleasing public lands for grazing
purposes, in place of the present fires
range system. The chief evil which il
seeks to remedy is the over-stocking oil
the ranges. In some places this has
resulted in the total destruction OF the
natural grasses and has rendered worth
less for grazing purposes great tracts of
land which at one time supported thou
sands OF horses, cattle and sheep. 1t is
also sought, by limiting each to his own
range, to remove the cause OF friction
between the cattlemen and sheepmen.
which has led to bloodshed in many
parts OF the West.
The aim OF the bill is, therefore, COM
mendable, but its specific provisions
are meeting with severe criticism. The
National Livestock Association, at It's
recent meeting at Fort Worth, Texas,
condemned the bill and appointed a
committee to draft a substitute. The
chief objections urged are: first, the bill
allows too much discression to the Sec
rotary OF agriculture; second, it affords
an opportunity to large stock owners
to lease large tracts Of land to the det-
riment OF the small owners; and third,
1t would hinder the permanent set
Element OF the arid States, as all lands
held under lease would not be subject
TO location or purchase, as at present,
during the life OF the lease.
Some Of these objections can be easily
removed by amending the bill, but
others are inseparable from the leasing
system. How such law would affect
US here In Nevada is question which
local stockmen may well investigate.
We doubt il sufficient land would be
leased in this locality by any large stock
owners In such a way as to deprive his
neighbors OF ample range room. The
feed is too scattered and the cost of
fencing too high to make the leasing OF
large tracts profitable.
Though there seems to be no serious
objection to the law in this State, Meth
err, for the same reason, is there much
to be gained. The trifing revenue to
be derived by the State for irrigation
purposes would probably be more than
Offset by losses to the State school fund
under the present State contract sys-
tenn. 1t is to be hoped that our repre-
sentatiyes will give the matter their
most careful attention before voting for
a measure OF such doubtful merit.

Newest Styles In Easter Gloves.

The spring glove differs somewhat from
those of last season, but it is only In
triaing points, not in general essentials.
To conform to the new sleeves the
gloves for the street are of two button
length and are fastened with large pearl
buttons. The tiny glove button is thing
of the past so far as the immediate fash
ion Is concerned, and the larger, more
convenient button obtains. 1t is the size
of those worn on the Russian gloves Of
the winter
The newest gloves are stitched in black
and are bound with piping Of black kid
around the wrists.
Evening gloves also show the large but
tons, and they are stitched in black,
white or self color.
The colors most used for day are deep
tan, bordering on yellow; the OK blood
red, dark electric blue, stone gray, and
other shades of gray and tan which have
been so long popular.
For evening wear there are all the deli.
cate shades to match dresses-pink, blue,
nile green, pearl, lavender, primrose, buff,
cream and white. The lengths are the
same as usual, to the elbow for the elbow
sleeve and the extra long for the sleeve
that does not come to the elbow.
Dressed kid seems to obtain for the
street and suede for evening wear, al
though the order may be reversed for
those who prefer 1t.
Black suede gloves will be great deal
worn this spring, especially with gowns
that have much black in the trimming

THE KENTUCKY CONTEST.
Tho Court Of Appeals Decides In Favor Of
Beckham In the GubernstorlAl Dispute.
In the Blue Grass state.

Frankfort, Ky, April 7.-The court
Of appeals yesterday handed down its
decision in the gubernatorial contest
in favor of Beckham, Judge Durelle
dissenting. The other two republican
Judges, Burnam and Guffy, handed
down separate opinion which diff
fered in its reasons from the opinion
Of the democratic judges, but agreed
with them in its conclusion. Judge
Hobson, one of the four democratic
judges, wrote the opinion of the ma
jority of the court affirming the de-
cision of Judge Field, of Louisville.
1t rectes the work of the state can
vassing board and of the contest pro-
ceedings in the legislature and all
subsequent proceedings and holds:
"We have no more right to SUPER
wise the decision of the general as
sembly in determining the result of
his election than we have to supervise
the action OF the governor in calling
special session of the legislature
or in pardoning criminal, or the
action of the legislature in contract
ing debts or determining upon the
election of Its members, or doing any
other act authorized by the constitu-
tion. There is no conflict between
the faction Of the state canvassing
board and that of the legislature in
these cases. The state canvassing
board was without power ito go be-
hind the returns. They were not au-
thorized to hear evidence and deter
mine who was in truth elected, but
were required to give certificate
of election to those on the face of the
returns who had received the highest
number of votes. For the state board
to have received evidence to impeAch
the returns before them would have
been for them in effect to act as q
board for contesting the election, and
If they had done this they would
have usurped the power vested in the
general assembly by the constitution.
1--WE are, therefore, unable to see
how this case can be distinguished
from any other legislative action
taken In matter over which the
constitution has given the legislature
exclusive jurisdiction and we are,
therefore, of the opinion that the
court is without jurisdiction to go
behind the record made by the legis-
lature under the constitution"

sci for Gov. Taylor, last night author

ALLAsour HOT CROSS BUNS.


Just how and when the hot cross bun
came into vogue must remain forever
matters of pure conjecture. There are no
less than three absolutely authentic sto-
res Of its origin current today. OF these
the religious story will quite probably be
the one more generally believed and rec
ognized.
The Roman Catholic church and the
Episcopal church declare that in the ear
ly days Of the Roman Catholic church it
was a cus.om for those who were strong
and healthy to send a little cake marked
with the sign of the cross on Good Fri
day to those of their friends and relatives
who had been unable by illness to attend
divine service and witness the raising Of
the host.
In the seventeenth and eighteenth CEN
turtles these little cakes were regarded
with both reverence and awe 1t was sup
posed that they would never grow moldy.
In households where there were children
they never did.
Bryant, the historian, says that the hot
cross buns originated with the Romans.
The word bun, he insists, Is derived from
the name OF the sacred cake which the
Romans offered every seventh day. The
story OF Cecrops, another legend Of mag
nanimty, runs like this.
There was time In Cecrops' career
when he thought 1t would be to the ad.
vancement Of his general career to curry
favor with Jupiter for bit and just see
IL he couldn't get some nice, fat little ap-
pointment out of him. Jupiter was rather
under the weather just then. 1t was the
springtime, and Jupiter had fallen a vic
tim to that tired feeling peculiar to the
season.
When Cecrops heard Of this, he hurried
down to the kitchen Of the palace, seized
a saucepan and the head cooks apron
and proceeded to make cake. He decid
ed mentally that It was to be cake
which should stand without rival in the
worlds annals of culinary art When 1t
was finished Cecrops laid 1t on a golden
platter and carried it to Jupiter himself
The cake was not much to look at
The powers Of that cake as set forth by
Cecrops in his presentation speech to Ju
piter were marvellous in the extreme. Ce
crops had made out a catalogue of the ills
and accidents which that cake could pre-
vent. Only four Of these powers Of this
original hot cross bun have come down
the ages. They are Theses This cake

ach ache and would protect the house
