the lake interests here are elated over
the BiXby report.
According to the report the high
est level Of Lake Erie last year was
nearly two feet lower than the high
level for 1905 The loss in the last
year was six inches. The level of both
Lakes Michigan and Superior sank
moro than a foot in two years. The
report says that any holding back Of
water Of Lake Superior to restore it's
level by artificial means must neces-
sarily mean a more rapid drop in the
levels of Lakes Michigan, Erie. Huron
and Ontario. The end of this year. it
IS stated, will probably see the level
.of these lakes lower than in 1895 and
1896 and more than Is feet lower
than their average for the past so
years
The question will bo considered by
this session Of congress i'm connection
with waterway projects and with pro
posals to divert water for power pur-
poses at Sault Ste. Marie and Niagara
Falls. The Canadian authorities. also,
have notified the United states of
their intention formally to protest
against further diversion from the
great lakes.

500 LOSES TO
PORTAGE LAKE
INITIAL GAME OF THE SEASON
GOES TO LOCALS BY SCORE
OF eTo 4-PLAY SOME
WHAT LOOSE.

Before small but enthusiastic
crowd OF hockey devotees. the Por-
tage Lake team las a:ght won the ini-
tial game of the season from the team
representing the Twin Soos, the final
score being TO 4. The game was well
played. when IL is considered that II
was the first of the season, but there
vas some loose play on poth sides. Be
cause OF the strangeness of the rink,
the visitors were at slight disadvan-
tage.
Hogan appeared at point for the To-
calls in place Of Joe Under and Nc
.Curdy played center in place of Stroud,
both putting up a first class quality of
hockey. Otherwise the lineup was the
same as that which represented Port
age Lake last season.
The 500 team seemed TO lack condi-
ton. this applying especially TO Nc
Namara at point. an old international
Lacquer and Mcdonald at cover, both
Of whom were somewhat slow. The
forward line of the 500 team was made
up of fast men. Tallion is likewise a
goal tender of much promise.
The 500 bunch started the scoring.
Hill netting the puck three minutes af-
ter play started. Exley came back one
minute later. Soon after the 500 made
what appeared 10 be a score, but 1t
was dlsallowed by Umpire WINNER.
The 500 team protested and WINNER
was substituted. Nothing that looked
like a score occurred for twenty-one
minutes. at the end of which Cicotte
registered, giving the locals the lead
at the end of the half The latter part
of this half seemed very much in ia
vor of Portage Lake.
McCurdy and Mahan gave Portage
Lake scores three and four early in the
second half but after this the 500 took
a brace and some brilliant hockey
was provided. Murray scored the sec
ond for the 500 and Ray made IL one
more. Just at the point where it began
to look like a tied score Hogan got in
TO the game with a vengeance and af-
ter a sensational rush passed to Nc
Curdy who netted the rubber. Cicotte
made il six for Portage Lake just one
minute before time was called.
Following are the line-ups.

HOW TO PACK EGGS

press companies. while baskets will be
handled more carefully. Then. too.
they are much cheaper Good baskets
can he bought for forty OF fifty cents
dozen, and YOU can get covers and
labels for a trife. The best basket for
the purpose is one with a good strong
handle. upright. 50 as to guard the
package if other matter Is laid upon
it. l exercise the same care and fol-
low the same rule for packing one set
ting as for one hundred or more eggs.
except as to the size of the basket, |
always have the package just large
enough to hold the eggs and the neces-
sary packing material. If your order
calls for one hundred or one hundred
and twenty eggs a hushel basket is
needed. First line the basket with
newspapers. and then put about an inch
of excelsior in the bottom. Now YOU
are ready for the first layer of eggs.
After wra piping each egg in soft pater
put them in one by one. leaving one
inch spaces to be filled with excelsior
crowded in firmly so as to keep the
eggs from the sides of the basket and
layer of eggs is then covered in the
same manner as the bottom and all
the other layers packed and covered
likewise with the exception Of the top
layer, which should be thicker and
rounded UP so that when the canvas
cover is sewed on and drawn down
tight the eggs can not shake round in
the basket Sew the label to the can
vas cover. or if the cover is of paste
board use gummed labels Print on
your labels in good sized type EGGS
FOR MATCHING. HANDLE WITH
CARE, Use a darning needle and
strong cotton string and sew the can
vas 10 the rim of the basket. drawing
il down tightly so that the packing will
spring up when pressed With the hand.
A basket about the size Of a ten
pound grape basket viii hold setting
of eggs For two settings an eight
quart basket is necessary. and for fifty
eggs = half bushei basket Excelsior
for packing the eggs can usually he
procured at all grocers or furniture
stores. For wrapping the eggs soft
grade of newspa per is used Always
place the small end down in the az
ket The air cell is in the large end,
and in shipping may be displaced by
rough handling Thus the egg becomes
added which kills the germ. Il is also
a good plan to instruct the buyer to
unpack and lay the eggs in their nat
ural position for at least twentY-four
hours before setting.
