THE GIi.OrX.

The news printed this morning oi
the decisions which have been reach
regard To the prosecution of the big
work confronting ii at the property
gives demonstration of the correct
ness of expectation which has been
entertained that this management
would move fast and that the pres
emf visit of the Gironx-Cole party
would bring their plans TO head
and start prompt and thorough exc
cution in so far as possible. Those
acquainted with past performances
of these people know what to look
for4intelligent. vigorous, successful
work, with dividends as the goal TO
be attained at the earliest moment
that may be possible without sacri-
fee at the property and in conform
ity with thoroughly good and perma-
nent work from bottom TO top. The
future policy so far as announced
means work at once and TO the limit
under the direction of a big. broad
management composed of men who
know the business root and branch.

ageo manufacturers who stood aloof /
from the conferences.
For a year preceding January l,
1909, there was gradual, though not |
entirely regular, Improvement in the
iron and steel trade and an increase
in the sales made. AS an illustra-
ton, the average daily bookings of
new business of subsidiary compa-
MES of the United States Steel corr
poration were S,322 tons for Decem-
Der, 1907, 1853 tons for June,
1908, and 1868 tons for December,
1908. During these months the to-
tai capacity of these companies was
about $4,000 tons per day.
Until within the last As hours
! Ii has been the belief of many, II
not most, of the leading manufactur-
ers of iron and steel that no general
reduction in prices We're necessary
/ or desirable. However, during the
last two days. many of the manufac-
turers have been in conference for
the purpose of giving to one and all
the information of the facts obtain
able on actual conditions in detail.
This feeling has been somewhat ex-
tended and has Influenced unreason-
able cutting of prices by some of
those who were opposed to changes,
but felt compelled to meet condi-
lions in order to protect their Gus
toners. As result of these eondi-
tions, there has been material de-
crease in new business during the
last months, for the reason, as stated
by consumers. that they proposed TO
wait until after they were atisfied
bottom prices had been reached.
In view of the circumstances stat
ed and the further fact that the
stocks on hand at the time he panic
occurred have been disposed of, and
the contracts in force at that time
have been completed or taken care
of so that the necessities for the
maintenance of prices which former
ly existed have been modified, the
leading manufacturers OF iron and
steel have determined to protect
their customers and for the present,
at least, sell at such modified prices
as may be necessary with respect to
different communities in order to re-
tain their fair share of business.
The prices which may be deter
mined upon. and the details concern
ing the same, will be given by the
manufacturers to their customers d.
rect
The friendly relations which have
existed between the principal manu-
facturers will continue"

We ran off toward the sound. When we
started the shouts seemed to be almost
stationary. but as we ran they got further
off till at last We could hear nothing. we
then turned to go back for the wound
ed lion. AS we got near the place Where
We had left him, we could hear tremen-
dous row going on. men shouting. dogs
barking and the unmistakable grunts OF
an angry lion. Running up. we found
the lion, with his shoulder broken. stand
ing in a bush surrounded al respectful
distance by the little dogs. They Kept up
an lncessant yapping. and every now ana
then the lion would make drive at them,
but they were much too quick for him
with his broken shoulder, and were at
him again directly he retreated to the
bush. The little Midgan and one of my
men were close by. yelling with excite
ment. AS l walked up to try to get a
shot without hitting one OF the pack. the
lion took no more notice of the dogs, but
kept his eyes fixed on me. | never saw
a lion look nastier. but 1 suppose his
shot him without difficulty. The Midgan.
after calling his dogs had run on after
us, and had come on the wounded lion.
We skinned this beast, and the little
Midgan rather amused US, as he got SO
very much annoyed because his dogs
would not eat some great chunks of raw
lion flesh he cut off and offered them. We
were on our way to skin the other lion
when we met IIassan looking rather sorry

had trotted quite quietly at first, and he
had brought her round in a circle toward
the place where he had left US, riding
alongside of her. and shouting to let us
know where he was. Unluckily she cross

after smelling at the blood she became

Homemade Linoleum.
While the spring cleaning and readjust-
ment Is still on, let me give you explicit
directions for homemade linoleum as fur
housewife.
Use for this purpose carpet which
is too worn to be put down again in
its present form. Have it thoroughly
cleaned and busted, as well as the floor
Of the room which is to be covered. Let
dry perfectly, then pad with newspapers
spread down evenly with building paper
or, best OF all, regular carpet lining II
you have it. Stretch the carpet firmly and
tack in place. Should there be worn
places in the carpet take cloth as near
the color Of the carpet as you can get it
and paste a patch of cloth firmly over
the hole or worn place. Iron this patch
perfectly dry with a flatirOn. Now, after
seeing that all seams have been carefully
sewed. make a paste as for wall paper
and with soft scrub brush or whitewash
brush apply evenly all over the carpet.
Allow this to dry until the next day,
Now 1t Is time for the paint. Get for this
purpose a good prepared floor paint and
apply with a paint brush, keeping the
paint well thinned with turpentine. Allow
this to dry again until the next day, then
