 MANY
Several Realty and Business Deals Have Been Consummated in Last Two Weeks

Several business transactions of inn portance have been consummated in Milton during the past two weeks Whereby considerable property has changed hands. Last week a deal was concluded in which the Clifton School district purchased the proper ty of c. w. Young on Chase Creek, formerly occupied as a corral and transfer. The buildings will be razed and the grounds improved and a play ground made for the children of the Chase Creek school.
 MT. Young in turn purchased the lot and building owned by George Web ster in South Clifton and occupied by the Merrill Transfer. He also bought the entire transfer business of H. M. . Merrill, which included all the live stock, wagons. etc., and will in the future conduct the business from his new location.
 To keep the ball ronlI4e merrlIl & Hoyt this week purchased the Geln Billiard Hall from Wright & Swift and will take possession of the new busi- ness the first of the week. Messrs. Merrill and Hoyt, the new owners, are contemplating several changes in the interior of the building which will greatly improve it's appearance as well as giving a new line of sport to the patrons of this popular resort. The interior will be repainted and decor ated in lighter colors, two new sky. lights will be put in in the large ante room for the convenience of the pa- irons at the reading and card tables and two new bowling alleys will be built in the rear of the building. These alleys will extend from the main building across the rear of the Fashion Barber Shop and when con- sieted will be one of the best alleys in the state, as no expense will be spared in their construction. It is the intention of the management to arrange for pool and bowling tourna- ments during the coming winter months and under the progressive management of Merrill & Hoyt the GSn will no doubt be the center of attraction for those enjoying these lines of entertainment.
 In order not to be left out in the cold S. c. Swift closed deal where by he becomes one-third owner of the EIrage ranch near Sunset and will be- come full fedged cowpuncher at odd

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather

easily. The hair dries quickly and
