Wild Animate In Banff.


Although Banff, Alberta, is a busting
village during the summer and Is
thronged with tourists, wild deer from
the mountains are to be seen daily on
the streets and at night stately elk
leap from the roads In the bushes to
escape approaching automobiles. If
a Banff cottager expects to eat his own
garden truck" he builds a deer-proof
fence around his patch. The grounds
of Brett hospital are open from the
street and the other night a half-dozen
mule deer made a raid upon the flower
garden. Banfr is the capital Of Rocky
Mountain park, and shooting game
within the park limits Is forbidden by
law. The deer, being u~nmolested.
have become very tame, and even a
bear now and then pays a friendly
visit to the village. Not long ago a
bicyclist, speeding down one Of the
side streets at night, hit a dark object
and turned a somersault or two before
he hit the macadam. Sitting up, he
looked around and discovered a bear
hitting the trail for home as fast as
four legs could carry him. Although
tame and somewhat obtrusive, the
deer, elk and bear do not relish too
close an acquaintance with man, and
have proved themselves to be not only
picturesque but perfectly safe neigh
bors.

VORK IS WOW STOPPED BY BIG STEEL Strike

Let's Take a Trip through a iron mil, and get a intimate view ~ III
men and the work halted by the great steel strike. In Interpretations we can
see the manufacture of iron bars from start to finish. Picture One shows the
men demand short hours. Picture Two shows the puddler taking his ball of
iron. Note the stream Of whtehot metal pouring out the furnace door. The
heat from ne of these furnaces is intense almost bhstering which is why the
men demand hort hours Picture Two shows the pUddler taking his ball of
iron from the furnace and carrying it by means of long tongs (which are sus-
pended from an overhead ra) to the "squeezer" The whtehot ball weighs
500 pounds, and it takes all the puddlers weight to keep it from dropping,
balanced as lis on the short end Of his tongs. Picture Three shows the ball of
iron being placed in the squeezer. This picture shows also the overhead equip
ment of rails, converging at the squeezer, by which the balls tiron from many
furnaces are brought. In Picture Four the bar of iron from the squeezer is
going through the roller. This rolling process is repeated a number of times,
the bar starting at the far end of the roll, out o. which it comes as a cylinder,
then being rolled smaller and smaller in diameter and greater and greater in
length. Picture Five shows you a immense scissors" capable of cutting in
two a bar of steel six inches through, just as neatly as you'd cut a pencil with
