TRY
TO ROB DEPOT

An attempt was made 70 burglarize
the office at the Great NortheKn rail-
way station in Belt Monday Night
The time is not known bat when
John Boboth went to work on Tuesday
morning he found the cash drawer had
been broken open from which possibly
a quarter in nickels had been taken.
The knob and combination on the safe
had been broken off but evidently the
operators were amateurs or else they
were frightened away because they
did not use explosives. The safe con-
tanned only two or three dollars which
win be reasonably safe for some time
because the combination is gone and
there is no easy way Of getting st it
without sending to Deer Lodge for an
expert safe cracker. Nothing else APP
peared to have been touched.
How the robber made entrance to
the building could not be determined
as all the doors and windows were
found locked. The parties must have
had a key which would fit one Of the
outer doors.
This burglary shows that the pros
perity Of the Belt Valley has been
heralded abroad and the yeggs have
concluded that there might be good
piclings here. Certainly this is COM
pliment to the valley and because Of
It the Great Northern may install q
new safe in the station.
Clews as to the identity Of the safe
crackers are conspicuous by their abb
sence.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

How about business conditions :
Things have slowed down . bit lately
in several Of the basic industries. But
there's nothing in the situations 70
make US uneasy. All indications ars
that the showdown Is temporary.
Business is q lot like a man hiking
across the continent. He can walk
fast just 50 long, then he has to stop
and rest. That's the real business
ion-prOduction was on too big
scale, SO now there's a lull to ~size
things up"
These lulls come periodically even
during Iong-range periods of prosper
ity. Trade goes up and down. It all
ways has, and It always win.

inevitable reaction. When prices staut

Auto industry also is quieter. Buy

That's one reason why coal produe-

EXPERT DAVIS
IN Los ANGELES
FOR AQUEDUCT
Former Reca m a t ion.
Chief to Probe Plan
For More Water

Arthur p. Davis, who is well
known i'll Imperial Valley because of
his activities i'll behalf of Boulder
Canyon Dam while he was director
Of the Reclamation Service, has ar
rived i'll Los Angeles to investigate
the feasibility OF constructing an
aqueduct from the Colorado River to
Los Angeles, in order to provide ad-
ditional water supply for that city.
This plan has been advanced by
William Mulholland, chief engineer
for the Los Angeles public service
commission III charge of the cor
struction of the aqueduct whicn
carries water to the city from
Owens river.
Mr.. Davis has expressed the opiu-
ion that the plan is practicable,
Judging from the preliminary in
vestigation he has made. Regarding
Boulder Canyon Dam, Mr.. Davis
is quoted as saying, "The reservoir
with Il dam at the lower end is She
best project in the whole Colorado
River basin. BY 1t water can be
had in any desired capacity and the
flood control possibilities will be
oxcellent.''
The reclamation chief was in Ell
Centro a short time ago, and has
kept closely i'll touch with the pro
gress being made on the Colorado
River development work. Possibly
no man is more familiar with the.
Boulder Canyon project, rs he made
preliminary surveys in that section
in 1891, and with Albert r. Fall,
formerly secretary of the interior,
submitted three years ago the
Fall-Davis report, recommending the
construction by the federal govern
ment of Il dam in Boulder CANYON.

PARIS DICTATES WEE
HATS AND SEVERE
THREE-PIECE SUITS

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Becoming
things have a way of remaining in
fashion long after the hour has
struck for them to pass on.
Witness the choice. The little
headfitting hats that smart women
have been wearing since early Fall
are still the hats most in favor.
Small turbans, with dangling me-
tai trimmings, and the tri-corn hat
which inevitably followed the
trend toward directoire frocks-arc
making strong bid to transplant
the cloche, however.
For all that Fashion has been
pointing back to the dircctoire,
what with gored flounces and drapes
and one thing and another, women
just will not return to fussv,
flouncy styles.
Paris ruling for 1924 is severe
simplicity. American women have
already taken it up.
Simple, three-piece tailored suits
made of summer fabrics, as plain
ly cut rs if for boarding school
miss or Il business girl, are being
worn now at all the resorts in the
South.
Long, brilliant scarfs brighten
the costume.
