steel superseding Wood

The substitution OF steel for WOOD
goes steadily on. Beginning with
January /, or Whereabouts, the Ma
tional Lead Company will pack its
white lead In steel kegs, having de-
cided to abandon the use OF wooden
kegs. This innovation is made be-
cause the company has concluded that
steel kegs will have many advantages
over the wooden kegs. In the first
place, the steel package does not abb
sorb the oil from the lead as porous
wooden packages do. and there H..
therefore, no drying and caking OF
the lead around the edges. making 1t
possible to remove every particle OF
white lead easily from the steel key.
The new steel kegs also will be much
lighter, as well as being stronger than
the wooden ones. and this will effect
a saving in freight rates. Taking up
less room than the wooden kegs, tho
new steel packages also will save stor'
age space.

Yesterday afternoon Silent Jack
Labelle and Scotty were exploring a
creek running into the bay in front
Of the camp. Padding around point
they came into little lake and in the
middle of the lake young bull moose
swimming across. They didn't have
a gun, knife or weapon of any
kind. but that didn't have any
effect on Silent Jack, a Maniwah
boy, by the way, and our head packer.
He wanted that moose, and he was 20

he was going to be upset and drowned,
Jack laid the canoe alongside Of the
moose and went for him with a pad.

moses ear of as though 1t had been
done with a knife. The second
smashed the paddle to smithereens on
its horns. Nothing put out by this,
Jack caught the horns and pulled the
canoe on the animals neck. to try
and keep its head under water and
drown It, But the moose was too
strong, and 1t took some quick paddle
work from the now hysterical Scotty
in the bow to keep from capsizing.
The contestants were getting near the
shore by this time, and Jack. fearful
Of losing the fresh meat for three
days which that lively animal repre-
scented, and regardless Of little thing
like q disparity Of 800 pounds between
his weight and the moose, went over.
board on the creatures back. Once
he was In sole charge Of the canoe,
Scotty had leisure to observe one Of
the nvenest duels he ever saw. At
times he was uncertain whether It was
Jack drowning the moose or the
moose drowning Jack. Unfortunately.
the moose got his feet on sandbar
which extended into the lake. and
once on solid ground. shook Jack OF
