Outlook In Lake Trade Not Bright.

CLEVELAND, o., April 1S.-Com-
pared with last season when most OF
the big freighters owned by the ship
pers and many of the wild boats were
sent out at the opening, the start this
year Is very tame. The outlook in
lake trade Is not near as good as a
year ago. Up-todate no freight con-
tracts have been made by the big
Cleveland ore and coal shippers and
aside from single trip charters in the
local trade no business has been
done.
II is estimated that the capacity of
the ore carriers now afioat on the
great lakes is from 55,000,000 to CO.,
100000 tons in season. The record
ore movement in an entire season is
AZ, 100000 tons. Although the Official
season of navigation will likely be
slow in opening, 1t is yet believed pos
sible, owing to the increased number
of ore boats, to move more ore this
year than ever before.

The Seattle Republican can not say that

power wisely, but if they do they will do

the owner Of the Post-lnteligencer has

though the busy housewife may gasp
at the thought, if she be as wise as

Pillows require beating with stout

the seam nor wear the ticking. If
done on dry, sunny day this will
clear out a goodly supply of dust.
Scrubbing is sometimes resorted to
when the old ticking covers are still

use. With a hand brush liberal sup
