salmon trollers in the vicinity of Wrangell and Petersburg. In ad- dition to groceries, a line of marine supplies such as will be needed by the fishing craft is carried. The barge will provide place where the fishermen may trade without the necessity of going into port from the fishing grounds and the management of the tender and barge will purchase the catch of King salmon from the trollers. The fish can be cared for in the saltery and shipped to the company's plant on other craft.

INTERESTING HISTORY OF
SEASONABLE STRAW HAT
Austin Westrope Says Chinese Have
Monopolized Trade.

Austin Westrope, the genial head
salesman at the Kahn Clothing Store,
takes a great interest in the wares
which he offers for sale, delving deep
into their history and origin, their
courses through the arteries of trade
and commerce, as we'll as in the style,
appearance and quality of the finished
product. Mr.. Westrope states that at
one time straw braid for hats was
plated in the United States, Canada.
England and Scotland. but the Chi
nese have gradually secured monop-
oily of the business. though Chinese
straw braid is inferior in wearing
quality to the old home product.
an the old days" continued Mr..
Westrope STRAW braid was plated by
the pioneers from tough rye straw,
cut before the grain was fully ripe.
The Chinese do not waste the grain:
They use wheat straw exclusively and
let it get dead ripe which makes II
brittle. The China braid can be bleach

HOW TO BUILD A SAFE TARGET
RANGE.

Lots Of shooters stock up with
regular arsenal of fire arms--a high
power rifle, a revolver, and of course,
the ever present % repeater, but un-
fortunately few men have sufficient
opp ortunity to shoot, no matter what
their equipment Hunters nowadays
prefer their % calibre repeating rifles
to be of the same type OF action and
general style as their high power rifles
SO that practice with the little rifle
will lead to results with the big one.
Possibly you are one OF the many who
are handicapped for lack of a place in
which to practice. Nine chances out
Of ten you have some room in the
house or a place in the yard available.
All you need is something to catch
the bullets. If you are at all handy
with tools and can WELD hammer
screw driver and saw without pound
ing your thumb or saving off hnger
it is a very simple matter to Fix up a
bullet catcher which will catch p
calibre bullets until you get tired OF
paying fer ammunition.
When a lead bullet hits an iron
plate squarely, the heat OF the blow
melts it and it thcreupon splashes of
towards the edge of the plate. If il
were not for this splashing it would
be cinch to construct a back stop
All you would have to do would BIZ
to buy a piece of iron plate and hang
it up. If this is all the back STOP
you have you will find that before
long the surrounding scenery vii
show signs OF lead poisoning, 1t /:
an easy matter 10 construct back
stop which will hold all the lead.
Make a wooden box about one foo

wearers to know that nearly all the
straw braid used comes from Stan
tung, China, and chat the straw used
in making oo-cent bargain counter
hat is cut in the same field that sup
plies the straw for a $500 hat. The
straw and braids are sorted, some of
the straw is split finer than the rest
and the braids differ in width and pat
tern, but it is all common wheat straw
and not the best at that, for the Chi
nese take no precautions to protect
the wheat or to improve its quality.
Out of the wheat straw the middle
section about two feet long is cut, dis
carding the tips and about foot near
the root. This middle section is cut
between points into pieces four or
FIVE inches long and longer if possible.
This clear straw is split by hand into
two, four or seven pieces, depending
on the width and style of braid to be
plated. The villagers plat the straw
at odd times, working it while wet into
braid as narrow as an eighth of an
inch or trife less. and all other
widths up to about half an inch. The
best of this braid reaches the market
in odd lengths from which the buyers
sort and roll skeins varying from 80
to l20 yards in length. The Chinese
factors bleach this braid with fumes
of burning sulphur but they cannot
produce the color demanded in Eng
land and the United States so all Of
the China braid used in Matchmaking in
the two countries finds its way to Lu-
ton. Luton's hold on this bleaching
trade is as tight as the hold London
has on the art of dyeing sealskins.
Chinese straw plaiters average on
ly cent or two a day, but they do not
work steadily at the trade. They buy
the straw and sell the braid to bro
kers so no close estimate of their
earnings can be made. No machine
for plating straw has ever been in
vented, SO they will enjoy a monopoly
of the trade as long as they will work
SO cheaply."
