STEEL BRIDGE NEEDED.
Greenwood River Crossing Should
Be Made Safe.

There can be no doubt of the de-
STABILITY of building an all-steel
bridge over the Little Wood river
at the Greenwood street crossing in
Shoshone if it lies within the posi-
bilities. With the opening up of ir-
rigation tracts to the north, north
east and east of Shoshone within a
little more than year at the far
thest limit, a big flood of travel will
be compelled to pass over the river
at this point, and these narrow, wood
bridges are not competent to accomo-
date it. When the wagon bearing
the Goddess of Liberty and the con-
stelation of the States of the Union
paraded the setreets of the city last
Fourth of July, the committee hav-
ing the matter in charge did not
dare risk the vehicle with its load
Of precious freight to cross the river
on one of the wooden bridges=it was
kept on the south side where it was
started. There are some forms OF
farm machinery that can hardly get
through the bridges as they are, and
a traction engine of any size would
be in danger of breaking through.
Then again a herd of cattle might
crowd the narrow structures that
would result in serious damage. Ev-
cry high stage of water in the river
threatens to carry away every bridge /
within the limits or the city and this |
fact alone should be sufficient to CON I
denim the present structures and any /
more like them. An all-steel bridge
securely anchored to cement abut-
ments and sufficiently high to be out
Of danger of high water, and wide
enough to accommodate travel would
i'll all the requirements of the pres
mt and of the immediate future. It
5 very likely that the people of the
.ity would be willing to donate much
more literally of their means for the
teel bridge than they would for a
wooden one, and the county COM
aissioners might see their way clear
o meet the demands Of the times
nd vote a larger appropriation for
he steel structure than they have
one for a wooden one.

PROGRAMME:
Room for the Small Farmer.

While Clifford Pinchott gives several
reasons, any one of which by itself would
be Of su ificient weight to prohibit sheep
herders from using the Black Hills for
grazing purposes, and prime reason is
made evident in his finding. 1t Is that
the Hills territory is essentially place
for home building and no check should
be put upon people who wish to settle
within its confines and make permanent
home. Piuchott realizes that homes are
the sustaining life of a community and
become directly the sinew ofthe nation. d.
To have given any part of the Hills, at
this time, to the sheep herders would
have been in the judgement of the Jour
nal grevious error. The Hills people
should be protected in every way possible
and encouraged in the cultivation of the
garden spots which exist in this glorious
section of the United States. While We
have no disposition to decry the sheep
industry we believe in conserving the
resources of the Hills for the greatest
good, to the maximum number Of in
habitants. At the present time there is
no room in the Hills for the migratory
sheepmen. There is, however, plenty
Of room for the small farmer. The
decision of Forester Pinchott will tend
to encourage the people in the work now
wei started and is hint that the gov
ernment will lend its protecting arm to
legitimate bucolic pursuits. The Journal
believes that it voices the sentiments Of
the Black Hills people when it expresses
to Mr.. Pinchott its hearty apprecia tion
of the farsighted looking he gave the
Black Hills when he conserved them for
future people, who are bound to wax
strong and wealthy from its inexhausti-

New Autumn Millinery.

Elderly women will rejoice when the
tew fall millinery Is displayed, for the
word has been sent from Paris that the
toQue is to be the most popular hat Tor
autumn, and will be worn by all women
whether they be 10 or go years of age.
The coverings are to be largely OF
velvet, terry or moire, either alone or
two in combination.
Velvet will probably be used more
this season than it has been for several
years past, the large velvet bow worn
so much on hats this summer. being
evidently the harbinger. So far the
new models display whole crowns OF
velvet. Almost invariably these are in
soft tan effects, the brims being covered
perfectly fiat with heavy silk or terry.
A new fabric that is being introduced
for hat coverings is called hatter's plush.
This is heayier than velvet, but not so
harsh AS the genuine plush. 1t drapes
much better than plush and has depth
OF tone and sheen of the heavy kind, so
that no doubt 1t will be popular.
Trimmings will also be appropriate,
for the stiff aigrette is to be fashionable
Another bit of good news is that these
expensive feathers can now be Initiated
in such perfection that it is almost i'm
possible Except by the price, to tell the
real from the false, and black are always
much wanted.
The novelty bandeau trimmings will
be much used again this year. They

that interests the Young and old alike.
The Gawk is an amusing character, yet
true to life. In fact each character was
faithful portrayal of some phase OF
humanity. Manager Garlock was for
tunate in securing such good play for
the opening of the season. The Lockes
