YOU TO THE LONG HAIR NOW
Boss BARRIERS Finally Decide to Raise
the Price Of Haircut to Thirty
Five Pennies.

Thirty five, please. the price of
haircuts has been raised. sir" is what
the BARRIERS of Walla Walla will be
telling their customers for the next
two weeks.
The boss BARRIERS held a meeting in
Newt Nicholson's shop last night and
unanimously agreed to raise the price
Of a haircut from 25 to IS cents, ex-
cept in the case OF boys under II years
of age.
1t will also cost the price of shave
more to get a massage hereafter. 1t
was 35 cents, now it is so cents.
Shaving was not advanced in price
but will remain at Is cents a scrape
Shaving is the only department OF
the tonsorial business in which there
is competition.
Home made shaves are always on
the market and the fear that their
customers might get the habit" made
the BARRIERS willing to denude chins
at the same old figure.
The local BARRIERS say the advance
in price was not made without care
full consideration but made necessary
by the general advance in prices. The
local hirsute artists assert that all
the other cities of the northwest have
joined the higher price brigade. so
why shouldn't Walla Walla get in
line?

to get the strength of his body and his
weight behind the drive. One to look

the turn on what the pitcher was going
to deliver.
Lajoie is hitter much after the
style of Delehanty. He is huge and
powerful, with an ungainly lurch when
velous judgment of speed and a great
eye. He is what is known as wild
pitch hitter. He hits the ball better
foot outside the plate than he does
when it is over it, but he is likely to
cripple the first baseman If you pitch
inside to him, for he pulls and slashes
the ball fiercely on d line to right His
free shoulder muscles permit him to
hit high or low, and he crickets the
ball off his feet as well as drives the
high ones.

PROVE BIG WEALTH MAKERS
Skyscrapers Making Miilionaires In
to City's Area.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Estimates
of the value of the space that sky
scrapers have added to the working
area of big cities like New York and
Chicago reach fabulous total. In
Manhattan alone more than 200 acres
of floor space have been added to the
financial district bounded by Park
Row, William street and Broadway
since the steel frame came into use.
This total is being still further in
creased by the erection of 10 new sky
scrapers, costing $4O.OOO,OOO. which
will supply 100000 more square feet,
or 70 acres The largest of these sky
scrapers. the biggest Office building
in the world will add II acres.
Values in the financial section of
extent that recently Broadway
plot sold for $500 a square foot-a
rate equal to $26,OOO,OOO an acre. The
ground space of the business district
is a fixed quantity-it can not be ex-
tended: but the actual working space
is limited only by the height to which
steel buildings can rise. This height
has steadily grown greater, until now
a building Al stories high is in course
of construction
The ground area upon which the 10
skyscrapers now going up will stand
is only a little more than three acres.
Yet 100 1000 persons will be housed on
these three acres every day without
crOwding.
A most important economic factor
is the wonderful speed made possible
by the use of steel and hollow-tile in
skyscraper construction, effecting an

Have Special Outing.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 22.-In keep
ing with the custom established years
ago a special affair is now being ar
ranged for the grand lodge members
and their wives who will attend the
annual convention and reunion of the
Benevolent and Protective Order OF
Elks', which is to be held in this city
during the week beginning July 18th.
This affair will be in the nature of a
trip on the Delaware river. and will
take place on the first day of the re-
union week. The largest excursion
steamer in eastern waters has been
procured and the visitors will be
taken up and down the Delaware to
view the many interesting points on
this famous river.
On the up-trip the guests will see

be the largest in the world. Here
some of the most powerful battleships

On the dOwn-trip the visitors will

building.
Those who think that skyscraper
building is being overdone may be
surprised to know that long before a
new one is finished large part of it's
space is rented The safety of the
fireproof skyscraper is no longer
questioned Architects and builders
are agreed that the steel framed
structure is the safest and most en-
during type. This is due mainly to
the fact that the terra Gotta fire
proofing used to protect the steel
has made even the tallest and heaviest
building practically immune from cor

DIES uNHtEDED BY TESTERS
George Foster, ltinerant Shoestrine
PeddIer, Found Dying in a Chair
In Bismarck Saloon.

While glasses tinkled merrily and
the loungers in the Bismarck saloon
amused themselves with ribald jest
yesterday evening, George Foster an
old pauper shoestring peddler sat un-
needed in a chair in the cornOr of the
room dying.
For nearly an hour he lay limp in
the chair and was supposed to be
asleep until Night Bartender Carter
went over to him about 10 O'Clock and
found that life was nearly extinct. The
old man died before the officers ar
rived.
Foster entered the saloon about s
o'clock. shook dice, won two glasses
of whisky, played with a kitten for
a while and then went back and sat
down in the chair from which he never
arose.
The old man had been peddling
shoestrings in the city for about two
weeks and hung about saloons most of
the time. He was called "Old Tom"
by the boys. to whom he had given the
name Of Thomas Golf, of Pilot Rock.
The only clue to his identity was a
pawn ticket found on his person. 1t

fore coming up here. A few shoe

was likely to cripple pitchers, for his
eye was SO wonderful that he drove the
ball through the box half the time.

steps up, grasps his bat, taps the plate
holds his bat in his right hand, while
he pulls up his belt with his left, places
his bat between his legs, pulls his cap
on tighter, pulls up his trousers, grabs
the bat again, taps the plate and IL
