REGARDING THE HAIR.
Proper Care of II Il "a Toilet Duty
which Hut Few Women seem
10 Have Mastered.

Next In importance to the complexion
u effect upon a woman's looks is her
lair. As In the case of the complexion,
lt lies largely with fits owner as TO
whether it shall be attractive or un-
pleasing I'm appearance This is not the
view held by numbers of women. They
think they have been born with hair oil
this or that character. and that they can
not hope to- change it. Ifit ls curly they
rejoice: If it is straight and stiu tney
Ieplore: but they do not think they can
eet the better of nature. So, too, with
/ The women of sparse locks. They mourn
over the stinginess Of nature in this re-
card. but It does not occur to many OF
them 20 take simple measures for inn
proving the quantity Of their hair.
Many a girl who has tleepily and re-
iuctanuy given her hair the prescribed
hundred strokes every night before go
ing to bed would have reioiced TO know
that II was one Of the worst things She
could do for her head. Where that hair
brushing theory originated it is hard TO
tell. but every woman has heard it, and
nearly every woman has been iooiisn
enough TO do Sc at some time or another
lin the course Of her life.
The office Of the hair brush is to re-
move dust from the surface of the hair
to stroke down and smooth the snarls
and to distribute through the hair the
natural oil that should be spread from
the scalp.
Instead of doing this most women be-
labor their heads with the brush, drag
rine out and breaking Off hairs in cius-
ters. irritating hescalp and iniurIne the
roots of the hair Watch the average
woman brush the hair. and see the vigor
she puts into Ct. She Is not satisfied
with the brushing Of the hair alone, but
goes TO the scalp. and brushes this as
Though # were a surface of metal In
stead of being skin filled with a network
of fine nerves. II Is altogether possible
THAT she uses a wire hair brush as an In
sirument of torture, thereby cutting on
many hairs that the ordinary bristles
would spare.
So far as keeping the hair and scalT
clean. the best of women are AS likely
as MOTTO De sinners. Ihave known wom-

wash the hair once in six months.

ANOTHER MILWAUKEE, RUMoR
Again Reported That Company Will
Build West.

again 5Hepofteu II hat company Will
Build West.
AS often as the report that the Mil
waukee intends to extend it's line
from South Dakota westward with the
coast as its eventual destination is
denied, just as often is it revived.
Whether there is anything to the re-
peated rumors remains to be seen, OF
course, but if the old aphorism rela-
tive to the presence of fire where
smoke is visible is to retain it's popu-
larity it is very evident that despite
the denials of the company's officers
they must be credited with entertain
ing wishes and desires in the direc-
tion of an invasion of the territory
now controlled by the few transconti-
mental routes, and the western cities
and towns that have been waiting
their coming may yet have their am
bition gratified by fruittDn OF their
hopes.
The latest story anent the Milwau-
KEGS western extension comes from
Sioux City, Ia, and is as follows:
within two years our trains will
be running into Seattle over our own
rails"
This recent remark is credited to
Roswell Miller, chairman of the board
of directors of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railroad. The Milwau-
kee railroad is known to have a sur
vey of route from Evarts, s. D., to
Seattle The survey passes through
Miles City, Helena, Anaconda and
Moscow and across the Cascade noun
tains just nortn of Mount Tacoma.
The company has on hand $28,O0O,-
600 and $2O,OOO,000 more bonds have
been authorized, which would finance
the construction of the extension. 1t
is known to be a fact that had the
price of labor and materials not been
SO high last summer the Milwaukee
would already be over the Missouri at
Evarts. It is stated positively that
the Milwaukee will build next year a
link from Platte, S. D., to Orient, CIV
ing direct connection from the
southern and northern Iowa lines
from Chicago to Eyarts.

History of the Test.

and 112 twoeyear-old wethers were

Bozeman They we're selected from
a flock of 1000 purchased by Mr.. Rob-
inson for his own feeding. An even
lot was selected, but from weights
furnished by Mr.. Robinson it is believ-
ed they were very close average
of the flock. We are indebted to Mr..
Robinson for the privilege of making
this selection. The sheep arrived at
the college farm on October %. This
was before the writer arrived to take
charge of the work of the department
and, unfortunately, the sheep were al
lowed the run of the station farm to

Reach st. Louis.
<St. Louis papers announce the arri-
val there last Wednesday of Captain
III. G. Sharpless and his flatboat, the
Saragassa. The long journey down
three rivers was made in safety ana
occupied few days less than six
months, Sharpless and his two COM
panions having left here last May,
when, it will be remembered, they
slipped their moorings about a couple
of miles east of Billings. A : few
minor mishaps were met with, but
nothing serious occurred and all were
well when they made port.
A cargo Of junk, bones, rags and
almost everything else that could be
disposed of was picked UP en- route,
of which about 100 tons was disposed
of at Kansas City, bringing $14 a
ton. The remainder was sold at ST.
Louis, from which point the Saragassa
was billed to continue further south,
with Memphis as the next stopping
place of Importance, the Intention be-
ing to pick up another load before
that city was reached. Here another
sale was to be made and third cargo
picked up for disposition at New Or
leans, where the voyage is to end.
This is the second like trip for
the captain, the. first having been
made three years ago, when with his
first Saragassa he sailed from Liv.
ingston. He found navigation of the
Yellowstone between there and here
SO difficult that he had no further
desire to try it.

BIG DITCH CHANGES.
superintendency Vacated It'll Spring
New Secretary Elected.

Until the next irrigating season be-
gins the Big Ditch company will be
without superintendent of its canal
and other works. This decision was
reached last saturday afternoon, when
the newly elected trustees OF the
company held a meeting.
A majority of the board reported
that they had made an examination
of the canal and found it in good con-
dition for the winter. As there was
practically no need of superinten-
dent during the intervening months,
it was moved that as a matter OF eco
nomy the office be declared vacant.
until next spring. The. motion pre-
vailed and Mr.. Searles found HIM
self out of a job.
AS no secretary had been elected at
the first meeting of the board this
matter was taken up. Mr.. Hastings,
who for a number of years filled that
position, stated that he was not g
candidate for reelection, as his ranch
and other work required all his time
and he could not see his way clear
to accept the Office for another term
without making a sacrifice greater
than he cared to make
Henry White of Billings was placed
in nomination to fill the vacancy. He
was elected without opposition. Be
cause of his we'll known ability as
an accountant, the company is regard
ed as being fortunate in securing the
gentleman's services.
