London, June 80 (by mail)-Thc
tragic journey of a pendant, contain

from England to France and back

The day Private e. E. Milburn, a
signaller in the Durhams, left his
home for the front, Miss Bessie Grey,
his sweetheart, hung the pendant
about his neck and kissed him good
be. Milburn went into battle with the
pendant still around his neck. He was
killed and for many weeks no letter
came to the girl he left behind.
Finally large batch of dead SOL
dier's effects were brought to England
and a London illustrated journal pho
tographed many Of them in an efforc
to trace the families of the fallen
men. Miss Grey saw the photograph
of the pendant she gave Private Mil

the check silk. Collars, cuffs and the
false waistcoat are of embroidery in
many shades of pink and red.
The afternoon dress of black taf-
feta has the inevitable touch of white
in the wide collar of white organdie
which is really more of a fichu than
collar and is simply laid over the
shoulders. The skirts of the little
jacket are wired to give it a Victorian
flare. At first glance you would
think the wearer had on hoops.
The evening gown besides the novel
half shell effect created by the black
satin tunic clasping the bodice of
white embroidered tulle has sash ends
Of the tulle coming from beneath the
draped black satin. The skirt trains
in the back, but is so short in front
that it shows a simulated under-pet-
ticoat of the white tulle. 1t is really
the fashion in Paris to have your pet
ticoats too long.

ROAD GANG RETURNS;
NO MORE MATERIAL

Tanned and with a weeks growth
of beard on their faces, 6 members
of the county road gang returned this
morning after a weeks toll installing
sphons north of town. They have
been absent from the county jail only
week, but in that time ? siphons
have been put in.
Oscar Authenreith in charge of the
county road workers, asserted that
warm weather and lack of material
caused an early return of his six
charges. 1t is probable a couple of
weeks will elapse before work is re-
sumed, he said.

LAND MATTERS TO
l.. A. FOR MONTH IF
NOOFFICIAL NAMED

Unless Federal Judge Bledsoe ap-
points a United States land commits
sioner before Superior Judge Cole
leaves for the coast, land matters,
instead of being heard before either
County Clerk Major Cook or Superior
Judge, the only officials in the county
qualified to act in that capacity, must
be taken to the United States land
office at Los Angeles.
1t is probable that neither of those
officials will be here during the next
month and during that time all land
matters in the valley will be heard at
Los Angeles, which necessitates ad
ditional expense to persons who will
find it necessary during that time to
appear at the coast land office.
The cause of the delay in appoint
ing a candidate is not known, but it
is generally understood that the diff
ficulty lies in the selection of can
didate.
Two local men have been named as
aspirants for the billet, but whether
Federal Judge Bledsoe will select
either of these is purely conjecture.
The appointment is life one and
it is claimed by persons conversant
with conditions here that the fees will
annually reach approximately $4,000.
The emolument received by the ap-
pointee will be fees only, no salary
attaching itself to the position.
1t is claimed that the fees reached
$2500 last year Practically all land
matters in the valley are heard now
by the county clerk, and with the ap-
pointment of a United States court
commissioner those fees will attach
themselves to that office.
Meantime, with County Clerk Cook
absent, and the departure of Superior
Judge Cole only few days distant,
it will devolve upon those desirous of
land business with the
to present the matter be-
fore the Los Angeles land office. To
those persons whose cases require only
the presence of the interested party,
little expense attaches, but to those
who are proving up on entries and
must bear the expense of witnesses
who accompany them, the trip to the
Los Angeles land office necessitates
expenditure.
1t is understood that one reason for
deferring the appointment was the
hope that land office might be estab-
lished in the valley. 1t is pointed
out, however, that such a move is
unhoped for as the government ap-
pears to be diminishing rather than
increasing land offices throughout the
United States.
1t is further pointed out that COM
missioner's office would be ample to
handle valley land matters as they
would be heard by that official and
then adjudicated by the land office at
Los Angeles.
Such move would obviate the ex-
pense of persons interested in gov
ernment lands and would doubtless
prove a great convenience.

The tour drinks OF whisky come

And what you suppose that culled

considerable applause when horsie
ketches his foot in a rope, chucks
himself, end-over-appetite, and I
lands on my feet, still calmly smil-
ing. At the close of the show we
beat it for the boat.
l want to tell you, there was some
thing like a crowd in Boston. !
didn't suppose there was that many
people on earth. They was all en-
joyin' themselves to the best of their
ability. When we got aboard the
boat there was no use in tryin' to
find Bill Jones. He was lost in the
shuttle, and when it came time for
my Wild West Show friend to go
ashore it weren't to be done. Moth
ing short of artillery could have got
him ashore. He didn't worrit great
deal, because already we got the no.
ton there was goin' to be a lively
time on that boat. He was one of
them philosophical sort of fellers.
"The boys will only think I'm
loaded again." he says. It'll be all
right"
So we worked our way through the
crowd, enjoying the scenery, and, at
the same time, keepin' an eye out for
Billy Jones.
