The Trade in SiIos.

In all of that part of the United
States where winter feed is one of
the farmers important problems the
silo is affording the solution. Anyone
who has watched the growth of the
silo business the last five years knows
that it has just begun and that the
farmer is just beginning to appreciate
the value of good silo, says Amer
lean Lumberman.
The retail lumber dealer is the log
ical silo salesman. He is the man
who should have the business, and
the only reason why he is not enjoy
ing his proper proportion of it is his
own lack of appreciation of the i'm
portance of cultivating this branch OF
his trade.
In view of the assured increase in
the demand for silos, and in view OF
the great activity of the mail order
houses in laying plans to secure this
business, that the retail lumber asso
Citations give due consideration to the
silo question at their annual conven
tons this winter is important. Every
association secretary should endeavol
to give the members of his organiza
ton opportunity to discuss the silc
question and, wherever possible, the
discussion should be preceded by {
good practical talk, by someone who
knows what he is talking about, OF
the silo, it's advantages and the way
to handle sales. This would make &
splendid feature for the retail conven
tons and would awaken many dealer:
to the Importance of going out aftel
this business before the mail ordel
houses and the direct selling silo man
ufacturers have the advantage O
| them.

INDIANS ARE HOSTILE

swer a charge of assault, the SO Ute
Indians who are entrenched in the
mountains Is miles from here, defied
Sunday a sheriff's posse of 100 men.
The Indians fortified their position af-
ter they had left the Ute reservation
in southern Colorado, and now declare
they will fight the white men to the
death rather than give up Big Rabbit.
Indian Agent John Spear has been
appealed to by the county authorities
in the hope that he might be able to
induce the Indians to return to the res

Spears advances today, however, were
rebuffed and he has wired the interior

Making a Billion Cans.

Baltimore's most active industry is
the manufacture of tin cans, says
Hardware Reporter.
Fourteen plants are in operation in
that city, with a daily output capacity
of between 100000 and 100000
cans. All have been running on full
time for some weeks.
The can manufacturers say the 10
cal output this year will be as great
if not the largest at any time in the
history of the city. So far it has ex-
ceeded all previous limits, but some of
the can makers say there may be a
year closes. Therefore, they are not
willing to admit this will be a record
year in the industry.
The local plants will each average
from 10000, 900 to 200, 100000 cans for
the season. The largest are those
controlled by the American Can Com
pany, with the next the Continental
Can Company. Many of the packing
companies have their own can-making
factories. The total number made in
Baltimore this year will, therefore, ex
coed 1000, 100000 cans.
This city is the largest can-making
center in the United States. 1t has
not the largest individual factories
but it uses and distributes more cans
than any other one center. 1t is said
that the cans made there are used by
factories within a radius of $50 miles
