C. V. Jordan wishes to protest
aguinst the high priced baths which
are not a regular feature at tho
Central hotel, in the conduct of
which he nobly assists Mrs. Jor
dan. Mr. Jordan says he has heard
about milk baths, champagne baths,
etc., although having never himself
indulged in one of the kind. He
has no particular objection, how
ever, to baths in general if aqua
pura be the liquid used.
Mr. Jordan, who may not be rec
ognized by even his intimate friends
unless it be stated that he is tho
one usually referred to as “Baldy”
because of the prominence of his
lack of hirsute adornment, was con
strained to comment upon the more
or less common practice of taking
baths because of a recent incident
at the hotel already referred to.
It seems that Mrs. Jordan left
in the bath room a wrist watch
which had been a present from her
lesser half, in the purchase of which
he had parted with some 40 simo-
leons, cartwheels or iron men, also
sometimes referred to by the unini
tiated as coin of the realm or silver
dollars. A few moments later when
she returned the article of jewelry
had been removed and has not been
i ecovered.

McKinney was in California at tho
time of tho boy’s disappearance.
She states that his mother, who
was Mrs. Ernestine Vaughn, was
unable to care for her boys, who
were given her in a divorce decree

MOORES SAW BURNING
OF OIL AT LOS ANGELES
Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Moore, who
returned last wook from a motor
trip which curried them as far south
as Los Angeles, were witnesses of
the great oil conflagration there,
when tho entire buy front was in
danger. A great oil reservoir, con
taining hundreds of thousands of
gallons of oil, was in flames. Tho
reservoir burst and lot tho fluid
run down a ravine from Signal
Hill into tho ocean. Thero were but
few houses in the path of tho flames
and no loss of life resulted and only
a slight loss of property. Had tho
reservoir burst on the other side
and lot the flames run down into
tho harbor the loss would have
been tremendous.

advance at this time is the short
age of the produet. Thu layers arc

MR8. POSTMASTER VEATCH
SITTING PRETTY ON JOB
UNTIL JULY 1, NEXT YEAR
♦------------------- ------------------ 4
Mrs, Postmaster Veateh states
positively—and a democrat has an
irritatingly positive way of stating
things—-that she is going to slay on
the job until July 1 of next year,
regardless of the anxiety of republi
cans, some of whom thought her
term expired January 1.
She seems to have much the bet
ter of tho argument and thero seem
to bo none, even among tho republi
cans, who would deny Mrs. Vealch
her full term. Bho will have filled
tho position for eight years and is
not a candidate for reappointment.
Republicnn seekers after the po
sition may get whnt satisfaction
thoy can out of tho fact that no
opponent can beat them to it for
nearly a year. The appointment is
not likely to bo made until lute
next spring or onrly in tho summer.
