THE GOLCONDA CATTLE CASE

During the past week there has
been before the Federal court a
case that has excited considerable
interest 1t was the Golconda
Cattle Company case, wherein the
corporation has been cited for an
alleged fencing of public domain
and keeping the outside world
from using the lands claimed to
have been enclosed by maintaining
fences n privately owned property.
This is but one point in issue.
The fact that Congressman Kent
of California is the head of the
company occasioned the interest.
Had it been plain citizen the out
side press would have paid little or
no attention to the affair, and it
would have drifted through the
channels of the court without
more than mere mention. The
government interests and the
defendant company have been
ably represented IN the court so
that neither side has any complaint
on this score.
The point Of interest to the Ne
vadan was the fact that during the
trial it developed that Mr.. Kent,
while Californian, is Carrying on
one of the largest private reclama-
ton projects in this state. The
ultimate intention in regard to his
big holdings is to sub-divide the
same to give the home seeker a
chance and make small farms and
a prosperous condition where now
stands large farm under the
charge of foremean.
During the trial the testimony
was brought out that Mr.. Kent has
already finished one large reservoir,
and with additional work that is
planned that it will store a body
of water that will reclaim thous-
ands of acres of land. Had the
trial not taken place the public in
general would not have known of
the matter. 1t is such work as
that under way by Mr. Kent that
will ultimately bring Nevada and
her vast valleys to the worlds
attention and result in colonization
that the state needs. He is doing
more as a private citizen to bring
about general benefits than any
resident of the state and it has
been done without brass band.
May his good work 60 on uninter-
rupted.-Carson Appeal.

PLOT AND COUNTER-PLOT

Charges and counter-charges are
being hurled back and forth be-
tween the Taft and Roosevelt head.
quarters in Washington, says the
Anaconda Standard, to the great
delight of democratic congressman
and senators who are watching the
campaign. The Roosevelt managers
make the charge that the directors
of the Taft campaign are "plan-
ming to destroy the republican
party if they cannot absolutely CEN
troll it," and no sooner is this
charge made than the Taft mana
gers reply in kind. accusing the
Roosevelt leaders of disrupting
the party in the event they cam
not force the nomination of the
colonel.
AS matter of fact, there is
great bitterness between the Taft
and Roosevelt campaign directors.
Each side charges the other with
all manner of underha nd practi ces
and much of the campaign material
that is being manufactured by
republican leaders in Washington
is really in the interest of the
democratic party. Not only are
the motives of the respective
managers called into question. but
their means Of campaigning are as
sailed, and, while there is some
truth in the accusations, there is
exaggeration on both sides.
Senator Dixon is endeavorinR to
make it appear that President
Taft is afraid TO go into presi-
DENTAL primary. The Taft mana
gers reply that there can be no
legal presidential primary except
in those states where the law pro-
vides for it, and in those states the
Taft men are as willing to abide
by primary as the Roosevelt men.
The Taft managers on the other
hand make the charge that the
Roose welt camp is financed by
George W. Perkins of the harveser
trust. by Dan Hanna of the stee
trust and other men closely allied
with Wall street. This charge is
heartily denied by the Roosevelt
managers, and the reptort comes
that Taft is using federal office
holders in the south to whip south
ern delegates into line. This
charge is met in turn by the Taft
managers, who point out that the
plan of capagn in the south today
is IDENTICAL with the plan in 1908,
when Senator Dixon was one of the
Taft campaign managers, and
when President Roosevelt himself
was actual ly directing the cam
paign to force the nomination of
TAFT. The Roosevelt people are
accused Of Inconsistency and an
over.sensitive conscience, q sensiti-
veness that was not appare mt four
years ago.
And so it goes, day after day,
each campaign headquarters
devoting most Of its time to as
sailing the management of the
riva' headquarters, rather than
pursuing a course which will tend
toward party harmony. The end
is not in sight; the fight becomes
more bitter every day and ap-
parently nobody will profit except
the democrats in the event they are
able to harmonic their own
differences.

Then the sculptor discovered his

was accepted coldly, so the man with
