general development of the country
will tend to increase it somewhat
there are no manufacturing industries

commerce of any magnitude. The
board Is of the opinion that the cost of
the work would be out of reasonable
proportion to the resulting benefits
and not worthy of being undertaken
by the government. Interested parties
were notified that they might submit
statements and arguments to the board
relative to the necessity for the I'M
provement. but none have been re-

TROUBLE OF LONG STANDING BE-
TWEEN TWO NEWTON MEN
RESULTS IN KILLING.

Glendiye. Dec. 25.-tSpecial.) -Christ-
mas eve was marked by a tragedy
at Newton. a town of the lower Vel
lowstone valley. when J. w. olinger
shot and killed Dan keaton as the
result of quarrel which occurred in
Olinger's saloon.
Officers went to the scene from
here this morning but particulars are
yet lacking. II Is known that bad
blood had existed between the two
men for long time. Keaton was re-
leased from the county jail only two
days ago, having served a term for
keeping disorderly house. olinger
was instrumental In securing keaton' 5
arrest and conviction. 1t is presumed
here that keaton went to 0lingers
saloon last evening to square accounts
and the trouble ensued. Recently
Olinger was accused of grand larceny.
Jack Olinger Is an old-time resident
of this section. He was well known
in the Black Hill country before COM

THE BANG

In the first place. when one wears lie
hat which threatens to eclipse the 4ssad
a bit OF hair should appear in the frcnt.
for the brim comes so far down over the
face that the forehead looks positively
bald unless q is partly covered by hair.
OF course, the woman with the low
brow need not worry ever this phase Of
the situation, but she with the fntellec-
tual forehead viii find it a very serious
problem. and one that must be solved.
The required result may be obtained In
two ways: by the parted hair or by the
bang. Tie choice between these two
must be decided BY individual taste, but
both are effective and the bang is new.
OF course, Il the bang is chosen il must
be kept light and. if possible. curly.
and this is lot hard TO do il the few
short hairs are frequently washed in
alcohol Never let the bang be heavy
