Dunk Botts ssss q Differences.

Pants are worn by men who
work for wages; trousers by those
who draw a salary. No civilized
man can get along without pants.
The law, public opinion and the
clothing manufacturers demand
them. Pants are made in all
sizes, just as are men. Ithas al
ways been mystery Wink the
weaker and least durable portion
of this garment is at the point
which comes wholly in contact
with the chair, so that if man
sits down it is expensive. Every
pair of pants has money-tight
compartments for the conserva-
ton of wealth. They are called
pockets and are designed for the
safe-keeping of the above men,
toned riches, but instead in them
lat all times may be found such
vaiuables as knife, four or five
nickels, two or. moro odd sized
buttons and an occasional key.
There are always two pockets at
the rear. One of these is FREE
quently used for artillery and the A
other for liquor ammunition. one
lis needless without the other.
There being no room for a bible
pocket, that is carried in the hand.
There is no need of it being con-
cealcd anyway. All pants, like all
men. sooner or later bag at the
knees. This imperfection comes
from a curvature in the thread
in the weave of the material. The
constant opening and shutting OF |
the knees causes the threads to
become bent. Were the hinges
in mans knees made to work
both ways there would be no
baggy pants. The man who wears
trousers generally has two or
three pairs, but the one who
wears Pants considers himself |
lucky if he has an extra pair to
put on while the others are being |
patched or pressed. Sometimes
even this is not feasible, hence |
places where they press while

BILL GRANTING PUBLIC LAND
TO STATE EXPLAINED
United Statea Renate.

l desire TO call your attention to
Senate Bill 4073, donating all the
lands in the State Of New
Mexico to said state, to be disposed
OF under the laws Of the state with
certain restrictions, the proceeds OF
sale or lease to be applied to speci
fed purposes.
There remains unappropriated and
unreserved approximately 27. 600,
900 acres Of land in New Mexico.
Under the acts Of Congress the
lands heretofore donated to New
Mexico, are Co be sold ut a minimum
Of So and So per acre. These lands
so donated are presumably located
upon the better lands in our state
The provision in this bill as to the
price OF lands, allows the land to lie
sold ~ far ~ the United States is
concerned, at n minimum OF 81 %
whether located within the five do
lar area or the three dollar area, us
heretofore designated
Subject to prior right Of GAO acre
homestead, the lands referred TO IL
this bill u be sold in tracts of not
more than eight sections, or 5120
acres To any individual.
The statistics and letters from
the Department Of the Interior. and
the Agricultural Department, verify
my previous statements that fof
grazing purposes upon such lands
as are comprised within the public
domain in New Mexico 40 acres are
necessary for grazing one COW. A
tract OF 5000 acres or eight section
In private Ownership, would enable
the owner by cross pssturing not
only TO reduce the cost Of stock
grazing, but also very materially to
increase the number Of cattle graz
ing upon u given tract, so that, IN
my judgement, such tracts as here.
in provided would enable the owner
to Craze from $50 to 400 head of
cattle upon his own land, thus rem
dering him an independent small
stock farmer, and settling and de
veloping that portion Of II state
which. in my judgement can not
be olberwlse developed to advan
tage.
1t will be noted that the terms Of
sale, etc. are left to the laws of the
State of New Mexico, so that the
same may be sold upon time as the
lands TO- owned by the state are
being sold. The lands not classified
entirely as grazing lands, can be
disposed Of ut So per acre upon
terms fixed by the legislature, and
10 tracts not exceeding 1880 acres.
The bill thus protects the home.
stead entryman in his right to GAO
acres, aud gives either such entry
man or anyone else the additional
right to purchase 1880 acres at SO,
upon terms to be fixed by the legis.
lature. or 5l20 acres at a minimum
OF Sl.25 TO be sold under the local
laws exc.
1t is provided in Section 3 Of the
bill, that Of the proceeds OF all Sales

upon the minimum of 81 25 per
acre to yield npon final disposition,

Mile. Olga Spesivtzewa. the new pre-
mierc danseuse Of the Serge de dag
hilefr Ballet Russo. arrived yesterday on
the Scandlnav WAN American liner United
States from Christiania, accompanied by
her mother. When she discovered that
no one with an American tongue could
come anywhere near pronOuncing her
name, she ordered a major oper alton per-
formed on II. removing the "vt." Hence
forth she will be known as "Spesizcwa,"
pronounced just so.
Mile. Spesizewa was n classic premiere
of the Royal Theatre of Petrograd. where
she has taken leading roles FOR the past
three years. She was dancing at the
Royal Theatre when she was engaged
for the Ballet Russo here by Capt. Philip
I.ydig Of New York, who is enthusiastic
IN his praises of her talent. She Is Il
pupil of Turgcnsen and Legat. and began
her studies at the Imperial Ballet School
of Petrosrad when she WAS only 3 years
old.
She will make her debut here some
time next week,
