Buttons have been so much in re-

button factories have been working
overtime, and have found it difficult
to meet the demand. Paris has COM
manded the use of buttons, n the

To be sure, tropical garments being
| light and scanty, they prefer to be-
deck their coiffures instead of their
costumes; but the principle is the
same. The buttons employed are quite
as numerous. and quite as unneces-
sary. This is how the Bulu bells do
their hair:
Crossing it back and forth over
strips of bamboo, they build it into
three or four ridges, several inches
high, running from the front to the
back Of the head. Each ridge is
mounted with a close row of common
white shirt buttons. When shirt but
tons cannot be procured, a certain
small shell is used. Sometimes the
ridges are circular, n within another,

I'm addition to this the women often
sew on above each ear a a contain
ing as many as six dozen buttons.
Sometimes they also build a kind Of
splashboard behind the head, from ear
to ear, to hold more buttons. The hair
thus arranged remains u~ndisturbed
for several months.
Across the middle of the forehead
they wear several strings of beads, or
sometimes a strip of monkey skin an
inch wide, edged with shirt buttons,
and fastened behind the head. They
also have bangles three inches to a
foot long, all round the head, consist

for more, and they wear. round the
neck countless strings of small blue

Occasionally they pierce the sep

beads or a brass ring; and the ears

EAST ROAD Be-
ING FIXED UP
The Beach Business Men Show the
Right Spirit and Road Will
Soon Be in Shape

The road leading to Beach
from the east, along the railroad
right of way and between sections
Is and 80, are at last being fixed
up and put in shape so that heavy
loads can be hauled to and from
town in this direction. Last
Monday j. j. Bartley and the
Chronicle editor interviewed some
of the business men in regard to
the matter and at the suggestion
of Messrs. F. F. Near and E. E.
Noble a subscription paper was
circulated and ample funds were
secured to have the road fixed up
in first class shape. On Tuesday
Messrs. Knox and Barber personal
ly took charge of the work and be-
fore another week passes it will
be completed. Below we give
a list of the subscribers and later
q complete statement Of the ex-
penses will be published, and in
case there are funds left over they
will be returned to the subscribers
in proportion to the amount
given:

RURAL ROUTE
IN OPERATION
Chas. Kidder Has Been Appointed
to Act as Carrier--0ther Routes
70 Be Established

Beach's first rural mail route was
put in operation last Saturday.
At the examination held three ap-
plicants presented themselves and
passed. They were B. H. Moulton,
Chas. Kidder and Jay ;Kidder.
Mr.. Heath was called upon to ap-
point one of the three to act until
such time when the department
would make an appointment, and
he chose B. H. Moulton who is act
ing at present as carrier. How
ever, Chas. Kidder has received
the appointment and he will be the
regular carrier in a short time.
Those living on the route are put
ting up boxes and in all their will
be liz. There is some talk of estab-
fishing another route west and
south of town, and a petition will
soon be circulated for that pur-
pose. It is proposed to have the
second route go west from Mr..
Near's corner and then go west
and south toward Carlyle and back.
There should be about four
routes running out Of Beach, and
no doubt we will have them with
in a short time.

May ESTABLISH
MILL AT BEACH
The Well Known Russell MiIIeI
Milling Co. Nay Select Beach
As Mill Location

E. P. Wells and H. T. Helm, of
the Russell-Miller Milling Co., one
of the largest milling concerns in
the United States, were in the city
yesterday looking over the grounds
with a view of establishing a mill
at this point. The gentlemen were
on their way back from Billings,
where they intend putting in a
large mill, and stopped off at
Beach after hearing of our great
country. After looking into the
situation thoroughly and taking a
spin into the country, they ex-
pressed themselves as pleased with
the outlook. but expressed some
doubt as to whether the country
could produce enough wheat to
keep them going the year around
if they put in mill at the pres
ent time. Their company has
mills at different points in the
state and the smallest mill which
they care to operate would grind
100000 bushels of wheat per year.
They would make no definite
statement as to what they intend
doing except that they had their
eye on this point for a mill and
as soon as they were satisfied that
the country could produce them
the wheat they would establish the
mill.
They visited our brick yard and
seemed pleased with the product
and it may be that they will call
upon the local concern to furnish
brick to use at Billings in erecting
their mill there. In fact, the Bau.
man boys were asked to bid on
furnishing 100000 brick. F. O.
B. Beach. They also called upon
the townsite agent to ascertain if
a suitable site could be secured for
mill, but they would give out
nothing definite.
They left this morning for Min.
neapolis where the company has
it's head office. There is no ques.
tion but what the company intends
putting in a large mill here in the
very near future, and that they are
interested in keeping in touch with
the Developments here is proven
by the fact that Mr.. Wells ordered

office at Minneapolis for the com.

The baseball boys played prac-
tice game on the local diamond
last Sunday. The boys from the
brick yard were lined up against
the town boys. Eight innings
were played when the game ended
in a dispute with the score tied.
Another bunch of enthusiasts went
to Yates and played with a team
there with the result that they
were beaten. Next Sunday Yates
will appear on the local diamond to
do battle with the Beach's regu-
lars. This will be the first re-
gular game of the season and there
will be big crowd out to see the
game, no doubt.

During the month of April 20

while the freight receipts at the

Yesterday morning these gent
lemen were loaded into automobiles
and taken down the Lower Yellow
stone Valley. Their purpose was
to obtain an idea Of the general
character of the country, supple
menting the survey plats and cross
section drawings with which they
were supplied, in order that they
may bid intelligently on sub-con-
racts for this part Of the work of
grading the new line.
"The same party--or at least
most of these gentlemen-were at
Mandan last week, looking over
the country north Of there. From
the gentlemen who were here it
was naturally impossible to get
anything definite in regard to the
time when the work on the new
road will be commenced. They
were uncommunicative along that
line, although free to state their
general mission here.
"Mr. Simms is a member of the
St. Paul contracting firm of Simms
& Co. This company-contrary
to the general supposition that it
was let to Winston Bros, who had
the contract for the main line

and who have since handled many
large contracts for the Northern
Pacific have secured the general
contract for the Mandan Glendive
line. They will now proceed to
sub-let the various portions of it
to other contractors.
"Due to the inclemency of the
weather, they did not go very far
down the Valley, but some of them
expressed themselves as satisfied
with what they saw, evidently
coming to the conclusion that this
part Of the line, at least, will be
a comparatively easy piece of
work.
"When Mr.. Simms was asked if he
could not asy whether the work on
the new road would be commenced
this summer, he gave a non-com
initial reply, neither affirming mol
denying the supposition expressed
by the questioner that the work
would begin in the near future.

NEW DATA SENT
TO SENATOR ROOT
Publishers Forward Facts Re-
garding Newspapers as
Compared With Mills.

New York, June 6.-John Norris,
chairman Of the American Newspaper
association, forwarded today to SEN
ator Root a letter setting forth new
data on paper duty. The senator's at
tentiOn is directed to d comparison of
his newspaper and periodical constitu-
ency as compared with his paper con-
stltuency and the statement is made
that newspapers in New York state paw
seven times as much for labor as all
the news print paper mills It is set
forth also that the labor cost of q ton
of paper is less in the United States
than in Canada, the average per DAY
in this state being s1.65. Senator Root
is asked TO consider also the serious
menace to the forests of the state
through the destruction Of spruce.
Mr.. Norris says: Newspapers are
entitled to consideration from YOU.
even if you ignore the extraordinary
functions they perform In disseminating
intelligence, in promoting knowledge
and in facilitating the work Of the gov
eminent, Those who read the papers
are in close touch with the work of
administration; and the furtherance of
the newspaper mission is worthy of
your serious effort. An increase in the
consumption of paper is due to the in
cressing intelligence of the people,"
