Daniel Boone.

Daniel Boone was one of the bravest
OF those early settlers of the British
colonies in America who penetrated
vast wilderness, fought with hostile
Indians, and faced death daily, He
was brought up amid the hardships
of the frontier, when bows had to
snow a mans courage and do a man s
work
The new country AT this time was
full of trouble. There was bitter hos
tility between the English and French,
the French being helped by the In
dians. Braddock was making his
campaign against the French, and the
war seemed IN the air everywhere
Daniel Boone was a sturdy boy
strong for his age, and fond of adj
venture. He saw an opportunity to
satisfy this desire by joining the army
of Braddock, and he accordingly of
fered his services. These were &C
cepted and he was made chief
wagner and blacksmith.
Braddock later was ambushed by
hostile redskins fighting under the
direction of French officers, and In
the general rout which followed many
British soldiers were killed. Some of
the drivers who were trapped were
slam. Daniel finally managed to cut
the traces of his team, and escaped
down a ravine followed by hail of
shot and arrows.
When he was "a Boone, together
with five companions, set out on an
exploration trip to Kentucky, Boone
was taken prisoner by the savageS
and they liked him SO we'll that they
wouldn't let him go, but finally he
got away. If he had been unable to
escape at the time Braddock's army
was attacked, he, of course, never
would have made the trip to Ken
lucky, and the development of the
rich and productive lands which he
opened up would have been delayed
several years and the march of civil,
zation hindered.

1t is the boast of the popular hair
dresser that il is possible to find
some sort Of cut that will be becom-
ing TO every type of woman. 1t is
not a question whether long hair or
short hair is most becoming but
which of the innumerable sorts of
haircut are most becoming to the
woman in question. II your bob or
shingle is not becoming it is because
the right style has not been chosen
for you-or, In other words. because
YOU have not given the expert carte
blanche with your locks or because
you have gone to the wrong barber.
Such at least is the theory. 1t is
these BARRIERS who claim that they
study individuality and never cut
two heads alike who have so enor-
mously promoted the fashion for
hobs. 1t is rather gratifying 10 sit
under the shears OF man who has
made such a close study Of feminine
beauty--even IL he Is only a barber.
With some women who have rather
reluctantly decided TO have their hair
cut the truth is that they have not
liked short hair more, but long hair
less. They feel that long hair makes
them seem old, dowdy or odd. There
is no really fashionable way of doing
up long hair Milliners make no al
lowances for 1t. No expert hair
dresser bravely comes forth with the
assurance that he can put up any
head of long hair in way that will
be becoming and fashionable.
In spite OF the comparative SIM
plicity of the bohbed coiffure there
are almost innumera BILE ways of hav-
ing it cut and brushed. Within the
past few months the BARRIERS and
hairdressers have added many new
tricks 10 their repertoires. Perhaps
the hairdressers themselves are not
possessed OF much originality. But

All boats left in the district loaded to the limit. All the large outfits hive boats in other districts. Fish are in good condition"
 Up to the first week in this month, herring were reported very scarce in all districts. Last week, it was reported there had been some improvement in Prince Will liam Sound and Kodiak areas, but no unusual runs were in sight. The Kachemak Bay run is the best so far reported.
 Herring, reported short in re- cent Ketchikan despatches. are beginning to show up in Chatham Strait in large quantities, iacord- ing to recent arrivals from that district. J. w. Wilson. Special Officer, who arrived here last night reported running through several miles of the fish north of Baranof.
 A load of herring was received at the Juneau Cold Storage pl.'nt Saturday and another was expect ed today, It has sufficient stock on hand to meet all local bait re- quirements, plant officials said tod..y.
 The presence of an unusually large number of whales in waters in this district led to the belief that the run was general. One boat arriving here early this morning reported sighting some 15 whales in Taku Inlet between Douglas Island and Point Arden. Many Ere said to have been seen in other localities.
