KING EDWARDS ORDERS.
Origin, Romance and Etiquette Of the
Various Decorations Worn.

When King Edward goes abroad
amongst his subjects on occasions of
ceremony the least observant eye will
note some details of the insignia he
wears Everyone is aware that the
are not restricted to one portion of
the royal person: they may be worn
on the right or left shoulder, across the
bosom, on the left breast, around the
neck, or suspended at the hip. 1t is
probable that the broad blue ribbon of
tho Garter is familiar to all, but that
it is equally possible to wear the badge
of the Garter round the neck, on the
left shoulder, on the breast, or encIrc-
ling The left leg may not be generally
known.
1t has been said that the desire to
possess honorary distinctions has
shown itself i'll various shapes from

Eut first of all let us see what the
insignia of an order generally consist
of. In the case of the order of the
greatest distinction, the Garter, they
consist first of a habit, collar, badge,

LANDOWNERS LIVING FIFTY

UAL HOME BUILDERS.

Montrose.-The secretary OF the in
gneer OF the reclamation service, di
rects that subscriptions for water un-
der the Gunnison tunnel project can
only be made by owners of land who
reside within fifty miles in a direct
line from the project.
TIL 5 decision was brought about by
a nonresident owner of land applying
for water and also for a loan upon the
land from an eastern loan company
The loan company, through its attor-
ney, James II. Pershing of Denver,
wrote the secretary of the interior for
ali Interpretation of section of the
reclamation act and received reply
as above mentioned.
Originally the Interior Department
held that none but actual residents
in the valley could subscribe for this
water. Later this ruling was modified
so that an owner could reside within
twenty miles of the project and the
extension to fifty miles indicates that
in all probability the department will
later concede the right to non-resi-
dents. possibly even of the state, hold
ing lands under the project and rent
ing them to parties who make their
homes here. This ruling affects
about fifty per cent. OF the land in the
valley and demonstrates that it is the
purpose and object Of the reclamation
service to furnish land and water for
actual home builders.
The work of enlarging the Gunni-
son tunnel to it's full size is 60
ing forward rapidly. During october
$500 feet was enlarged, and at this
rate it will require but two months
for the tunnel to be enlarged to full
size it's entire length of six miles. This
will give the workmen ample time to
concrete that portion which remains
unfinished before the turning in OF
water early in April.
