Pacific Wins in Spring Valley
Land Contest.

Washington. d. G., Dec. 2.-The
secretary of the interior has decided
the controversy between the Union
Pacific and the American Consolidated
Oil company. involving the ownership
of the lands upon which the Spring
Valley coal mines are located in favor
OF the railroad company. He held the
lands in question more valuable as
coal lands than for oil. and, therefore
they are not exempt from the railroad
rant as oil lands.

eS of wine, never more, and it is al
ways still wine. Champagne he does
not touch.
King Leopold is an ardent devotee
of the automobile. In just thirteen
minutes exactly every morning when
he is at Laeken he traverSes the dis.
tance between there and his palace in
Brussels, There is a story Of his
chauffeur being recently threatened
with arrest by Jealous police officer
not because of the danger to foot pas
sengers, the courtly officer FASTENED to
explain, but because the speed threat
ened to cause an accident to the king
himself.
At the age of sixty-eight King Leo
pold II. is one of the gayest young fell
lows in Europe. He married at the
age of eighteen Archduchess Marie
Henrette of Austria, and her troubles
with her royal husband began on the
honeymoon. His friendship with one
of his wife's retinue was apparent TO
all, and Leopold took no pains to con-
ceal his infatuation. Ever since then his
ministers and family have been both
cred constantly to keep the old man out
of mischief. They do not succeed well.
There is no telling when he is going to
break out next.
When the lines have been drawn too
tight on him in Brussels, Leopold
throws off the cares of state and HES
himself across the border TO Paris.
There he has his fling before listening
to the dignified councillors of state who
post after him.
AS to the reports of abdication, it is
difficult to get at their source. 1t is
known in his own country that King
Leopold is getting tired of politics, and /
the event is not at all improbable.
Prince Albert King Leopod's neph.
ew, is twenty-seyen years old. a year
and half ago he married Duchess !
Elizabeth of Bavaria, who is one yeal |
his junior. Theirs was a real 10y
match.
There are those who think Prince ,
Albert is yet unprepared to rule, and !
that the king will wait until his pupil |
has acquired more knowledge in the !
art of being a constitutional monarch.
However this may be, the kings hui
sor at present points to an early abdi-
cation.

as much other semitropical vegetation
will cover every ugly telegraph pole
or other object that would detract
from the festive spectacle.
Most of the figures will be emblem
attic of the General Federation, but
there will also be the regulation colors
of La Fiesta. These colors consist of
red, emblematic of wine; orange, of
fruit, and green, the olive. The gaudy
effect that is produced by these colors
is peculiarly Spanish, and it is this as
much us anything else that character
ICES La Fiesta.
La Fiesta will open with a grotesque
parade of Elks of southern California.
Until the men have marched down the
streets on the opening day no one not
in authority will know of what the
foolishness will consist. These mat
ters, as well as many other arrange
ments for the fiesta, are always kept
profoundly secret Like the Mardi
Gras in New Orleans. La Fiesta in Les
Angeles has acquired many customs
that could not well be broken.
On the second day will be held the
floral parade. This will consist of gor-
geously decorated carriages and turn
outs 1t is the floral parade that is the
unique feature of La Fiesta and the
part that Los Angelans claim cannot
be reproduced elsewhere in America.
The vehicles. ranging in size and shape
from the dogcart to the tallyho and
the automobile, will be so buried in
blossoms and green leaves as to cover
any suggestion Of wood or iron work.
In conformity with the custom that
always obtains in La Fiesta, the name
of the queen will be Kept secret until
the day of the parade. Great care is
always taken in selecting the queen,
who is always one of the most promi-
nent society women of the city. An
other society woman will be chosen as
grand marshal of the floral parade.
There will be company Of richly
dressed caballeros mounted on spirited
horses, covered with bejeweled capari-
sons Gold and silver brides and sad
dies, mounted with lavish displays of
the precious metals, will mark their
appearance. AS they ride through the
streets they will give exhibitions Of
Mexican vaquero riding.

TIRED OF HIS GROWN
WHY KING LEOPOLD OF BELGIUM
MAY AsDlCATE.

Cares of state Too Burdensome For
the Merriest Monarch In Europe.
His Keen Sense of Humor and Kind
Henrt-Thc Heir Presumptive.
King Leopold of Belgium. gayest of
monarchs. whose many escapades have
been a scandal in Europe for years, is
at last in serious trouble. His present
difficulties are due to his subjects, who
so far forgot "the divinity that doth
hedge about king" as to chase his
royal highness through the streets of
Brussels, threatening bodily harm. On
top of the mobbing comes the report
that Leopold is to abdicate his throne
in favor of his nephew. Prince Albert.
An alarming feature of the situation
in Belgium is the suspicion that pre-.
walls rs to the loyalty of the army to
the king. The rank and file of the army
are believed TO be in sympathy with
the present Socialistic Republican
movement. These things it is alleged,
have made King Leopold weary of his
job.
King Leopold is an up TO date mon
arch. He has always been a hard
worker, and, though he is no longer
young and has white beard of pa
triarchal length, his alertness is that
of man in the prime of life.

Mr.. Harry Cavendish, who is but

That was probably the most ex-
pensive bunch of roses that was ever
presented to any one on the stage, for,
not counting the roses, which were
worth dollar each, there was clus-
ter ring cunningly concealed among
: the blossoms that cost Mr.. Cavendish
not less than $1,000.
But that was mere bagetelle COM
