NEWEST. IN SHELL PINS
Designers Turn From Combs to Make
Attractive Tortoise Pins for
the Hair.

Since the modern coiffure leaves lit
tie room for shell combs. tortoise
shell designers are bending their ener-
gies to making attractive hairpins
with heavy heads and curved wavy
lines.
One of the newest pins has a pro-
nounced outward curve at the top on
the order of a hooked handle. This
enables It to slip over the puffs and
curls so much worn.
One good looking pin for heavy hair
has the top in a semi-circular curve
like a double coil There is no cary
ing. only the handsome marking OF
fine shell.
Another set OF crook tops is divided
in four waving bands. Sometimes
these are plain shell. those for even
ing wear studded with brilliants or de-
signs in paste.
New and smart is the bar-shaped
top to hairpins. A barette comes to
match The open lines of these are
sometimes plain. again studded with
rhinestones or decorations in gold or
silver
handsome DaTette VI ihooSi ato vi
mensions is an oblong piece of light
shell Of exquisite marking studded
with entwined scrolls and loops OF
raised gold dots.
The newest real shell hairpins are
quite small and light, as 1t is no long
er fashionable to have the head look
like a walking arsenal. These are
lost so easily that the average woman
wears imitation shell. The real ones
will drop less easily from the hair II
the prongs are decidedly curved.
To keep shell in good condition 1t
should be rubbed daily with piece OF
chamois skin to prevent that ugly blur
making headway. When the shell Is
once dimmed 1t must be sent to the
mandatory for repolishing. If a
number of tortoise shell articles are
to be polished 1t will be cheaper to
send them direct to manufactures
of shell goods than TO jeweler.

A Woman's Letter.

Women, it is generally admitted
write better letters than men.
M. Marcel Provost has discovered
the reason for this superiority. The
obvious meaning is never the one we
should read into a woman's letter
There is always yelled meaning

as she employs glance or a smile,
in way that is carefully thought out.
and with an eye to effect. And, after
all, does a woman's hat serve to cover
her head? Does womans parasol
keep of the sun? Why, then, should
woman's letter serve to convey her
real thoughts to the person ad
dressed, Just like the letters of some
honest grocer. who writes, I send you
five pounds of coffee because he
really does send you Ave pounds of

NOT KILLED
James Patterson Insists That He
Is Alive in Spite of QuehO

Like Mark Twain, James Patterson
claims that the report of his death as
published in the Searchlight Bulletin of
last week and copied by several south
ern California papers, was greatly ex-
aggerated. In fact Patterson claims
not to be dead at all and not even head
ed that way. The bad Indian, Queho,
has one less crime to answer for than
was laid to his credit, while Patterson
is oiling up the old musket preparatory
to going on hunt for the man that
killed him. According to the pitiful
story printed, James Patterson, a
lonely prospector, was shot in the back
by the murderous Indian, without a
chance to defend himself, and his mutt
lated body was discovered in the fast
nesses of the desert and identified by
those who reported the death.
Mr.. Patterson and his partner, d. F.
Watson are much incensed that reports
such as these without even the remote
semblance of truth should be so exten-
sively circulated. Snch reports are
damaging to the mining interests of the
country as they deter miners and
capitalists from visiting one of the
richest mineral sections of the south
west skirting the Colorado river on
both the Arizona and the Nevada sides.
They state most emphatically that
there is absolutely no danger from In
dians, the half crazy Queho not having
been seen for many months.

COUNTY ROADS
Timely Suggestions on Important
Subject
By JAMES G. GIVENs

| would like to call the attention of
the citizens of Clark county to the
question of establishing their county
roads, and making preparations for I'M
proving them. My object now is not
to ask you to build the roads but to lay
them out, so that when we get the
money we can build them along the
lines established. There is no invest
ment that would pay this county better
than to have our county surveyor es-
tablish the county road lines and not
wait until we have to give thousands of
dollars for the right of way over the
lands. If we will do this we can pic
ture this beautiful valley in few
years with firm, broad roads tapering
off to every part of the county, with
population distributed all over the val
ley, all parts of it easily accessible
plenty of opportunity for everybody,
everybody happy.
have heard it stated by good au-
thority that the good roads movement
is one of the greatest if not the great
est problem in this country today, be-
cause they are losing hundreds of mil
lions of dollars annually as a result of
the poor condition of public highways
or lack of them in the United States
today.
This is a question that our chamber
Of commerce is going to take up, and
if we put our whole strength in this
matter we will eventually have COM
plete system of good roads. Let every
man who is interested in the develop
ment of our county make it his own
personal business to help in this much
needed improvement. A man who can
not see the necessity of this betterment
writes himself an ass. 1t is question
that interests the farmer, the mer-
cnant, the railroad man, miner and
land owner, for the interests and pro-
fits coming from road building are gen
eral.
Whatever political shade, all repre-
sent the county and should work for its
best interest, and in no way can this be
shown to better advantage than by pro-
viding means of communication between
different districts by building good wa
gOn roads.

Hose Company No. | Elects Of
fCerS and Makes Plans

Friday evening of last week the Las
Vegas Fire department had a meeting
at Judge Lillis' office. Hose company
No. / elected officers as follows:
Captain-James W. Squires.
Lieutenant. Rockwell.
Secretary-Leonard Moore
Treasurer Sanderson.
Plans for increasing the department
by the organization of another hose
company were discussed. 1t is the
consensus of opinion that one hose cart
should be stationed near the southern
portion of the city and should be
manned by company from that sec
tion.
The fire boys are very much gratified
at the hearty support which their en-
tertainment last week received from
the citizens. A substantial sum was
realized which will be devoted to the
uses of the department.
A vote of thanks was rendered those
who assisted in making the fremen's
entertainment success, especially to
Mrs. T. H. Sharp, Mrs. Lloyd D.
Smith, Miss Brown and Messrs. En-
erick, Moore, Emert, F. Myers, AL
Goldbaum and F. w. JoHansen, all of
whom gave their talents freely to the
success of the evening.
Fire Marshall JoHansen is planning
to put lively play on the stage for the
benefit of the fire boys soon. Mr.. Jo-
Hansen is an experienced man on the
stage, and will prepare an entertain
ment worth while when he sets his
hand to it. To make the department
efficient in case of need, some addi-
tional hose, ladders, nozzles and other
simple appliances will be needed, which
the town board will be asked to pro-
vide. In addition to those things, GER
tain comforts and conveniences to make
the fire house attractive to the mem
bers and keep up the interest of the
boys in the work should be provided
for by means of Entertainments, etc.
When the terrible fear inspired by
disastrous fire is still fresh, the need of
an efficient department is easily appre-
ciated by all. When we have been for
some time without fire, interest on
the part of the public is apt to wane.
Let US try locking the stableright now.

WILL IMPROVE
Tennessee Man Making Arrange
mentS to Sink Wells

J. d. Fulmer of Memphis, Tennessee,
was Vegas visitor during the early
portion of the week, on business con-
nected with settling the estate of his
brother, John Fulmer who formerly re-
sided in Los Angeles. The estate in
this vicinity consists of about 1880 acres
of valley land, much of which is con-
sidered choice.
Mr.. Fulmer now plans to sink wells
for artesian water and if successful,
will subdivide and lease to ranchers or
sell in small tracts. The improvement
of this large body of land will attract
attention to the lands north and east of
town and will open to development a
new territory.

OFF The MARKET

Capt. James H. Ladd has taken his
tract, Ladd's addition, off the maket
for the present. 1t is reported that the
Captain sold 50 lots on the last day of
the sale and there were several who de-
layed and failed to get their lots at the
original price.
The improvements planned for the
tract will now be carried out by the
owner after Whicl, an additional tract
will be offered for sale. With the new
water system and other features, prop
erty in this subdivision will double in
value.
