LEAD PRICE
 TREND UPWARD

The following interesting data on lead prices and the future price outlook for that metal is reprinted from an article pub lished in the Bond and Share holder, of New York, a new fi- nancial weekly which is ap- parently published in the in- terest of the North American Lead Corporation.
 Lead has been the strongest of the metals during the past three or four years, it price trend having been consistently upward. In fact, since 1913 lead has been the star per former among the major met als, as is shown by the follow ing table giving their average price per pound in cents in 1913 and their price at the present time:

RECORD STORM
 STRIKES CAMP

A thunder storm of almost cyclonic violence swept over the camp from the south about 4. g. m. Thursday, leaving in it's wake a trail of damage of much greater extent than has been sustained in this locality since the town was started.
 During the height of the storm, the wind reached a ve- locity estimated at fully 60 miles per hour and was ae- cornpanied by terrific down. pour of rain. Lashed by the gale, trees snapped like pipe stems, shingles were torn from roofs, and everything loose went whirling away to an ac- compartment of crashes, rat ties, bangs and roars which aroused all but the soundest sleepers. Within a half hour after the storm broke falling trees disrupted the light sys- tenn and put the Premier ore tram out of commission for a matter of five hours or so. A span or two of the Mountain view Gold Mining Go. tram on Fish Creek was also damaged by falling trees. In passing into the Salmon valley the gale created havoc among the trees in the forest townsite, leaving a wide swath through the timber which suggested the passage of a tornado.
 So far as could be learned, the most serious damage oc- curring in town weas inflicted. on the Hyder Lumber Com pany's tug New Alice, which had it's pilothouse knocked off, as a result of the vessel being battered against the piles of the dock approach.

A splendid entertainment and a bumper crowd marked the performance of the three-act farce-comedy, Poor Married Married Man" by the Enter tainment Committee of the M. E. Church at Pioneer Hall Fri day evening.
 Probably never before has the camp witnessed a more diverting entertainment than was presented in the unfolding of the mirth provoking tale of the trials and tribulations of the poor married man, imper- sonated by Rev. c. T. Hatten, whose faithful and painstak- ing interpretation of the diff cult character of Prof. Wise, constituted a splendid per formance. J. o. Lyon was also happily cast in the character of Dr. Graham, while Miss Anne Martin displayed mark ed histrionic ability in the part of Mrs. Iona Ford. Mrs. liar old Johnson, as Rozlyn Wilson, gave an excellent characteri- zation of a wide-awake news paper reporter, whose obser- vations on the news of the day constituted one of the hits of the show. Mrs. Manhood, as June Graham, Dr. Graham's daughter; Mrs. Louis Legge as Zoie Ford, the sprightly daughter of Mrs. Ford, Hubert Thomas as Jupiter Jackson, a colored butler, who was onto his job, and E. w. Hinckley as Billy Blake, a college stu dent, all acquitted themselves splendidly in their various roles.
 Additional entertainment was provided between acts by a calisthenics drill by the school children and violin solos by eight year old Anthony Sobier- alski, who displayed remark able skill in handling that difficult musical instrument. Splendid orchestral music was provided by Mrs. Wm. Gray, piano, E. M. Reynolds, violin and Roy Newton, saxophone.
 The proceeds of the enter tainment will go to defray the cost of the new M. E. parson- age.

NEW HUNTING AND TRAPPING REGULATIONS
 FOR ALASKA

Revised game regulations for Alaska were adopted by the Secretary of Agriculture on May 15, after consultation with the Alaska Game Com missions recommendations by the Biological Survey. The new regulations become effect i've 90 days after publication Changes from existing regu. lations include changes in the boundaries of fur districts, es- tablishment of an open season on beaver from May to 3l in certain portions of western Alaska, effective in the spring of 1927, a seasonal bag limit of 29 beavers per person, and a system of sealing beave1 and marten skins legally pos 3essed or taken.
 A maximum possession limlt is provided for game animals, the same as the maximum seasonal limit.
 A close season is placed on brown and grizzly bears from June 21 to the end of AugusL, with a provision that pc m.tts 1illing bears when endang r. ing persons or property.
 The daily bag limit on ducks 8 increased from 20 to 25 and on brant and geese from 6 70 s. The maximum possession lint on waterfowl is raised from 50 to 75. Black-bellied and golden plovers are removed from the list for which tn are is an open season and bag limits on jacksnipe are reduc- ed from 25 to 20, to core spond to the regulations un- der the migratory-bird treaty act.
 The. caribou season is chang I'd in the northern district and :ertain trapping seasons are lightly altered with a view to obtaining a higher average quality of furs.
 Special protection of gar1e, fur animals, and birds in the lower Taku River region has been removed, and on the Ko- 1iak-Afognak Islands group introduced beavers and musk rats are given absolute pro- lection.
 The Alaska Game Commits ion at it's annual meeting in Feo- ruary adopted revised regu- lations, relating to guide, poisons, and resident trapping licenses, essentially the same as the old, with the exception that guides are not now re- quired to devote the principai part of their time during the hunting season to guiding hunting parties.

"The above table shows that zinc has advanced since 1913 over 35 per cent, tin over AS per cent, lead over 83 per cent while copper has declined over 9 per cent.
 "At its recent high lead show ed an advance of over 100 per cent above 1918 average price, The greater part of the ad- vance in lead prices has come within the past four years. In 1921 lead fetched an average price in New York of 4. 54c pel pound, 5.73c in 1922, 7.26c in 1928, 8.O9c in 1924 and 9.02c in 1925. Since 1921 all the major metals have gained somewhat. For example, cop per has improved from an av- craze of 1212c and zinc from an average of about sac, but lead has been aggressively and progressively strong.
 Tt is a fact that except for the Sullivan Mine in British Columbia, the Park Utah Mine in Utah and the Ahumada Mine in Mexico, no large or very important lead mines have been found or developed in North America since 1910. It can be said without fear of refutation that the fact that lead production has been able to keep up with consumption during the years since 1913 has been due to two things.
 1. Much high cost lead has been brought into the market because the increased and in- creasing market price of the metal has brought many lead deposits out of the class of unprofitable and into the class of profitable material.
 2. Improved metallurgy has made possible the separation of zinc from many complex ores, giving a value to the zinc and bringing such ores into the class of profitable material.
 Ut seems to be the opinion of the best authorities that no factors, either industrial (man- ufacturing and trade) or phys ical (touching supply and pro duction) can unfavorably af- feet lead to any marked de- gree. "'

MOTORS VS..
RAILROADS

FTER period of rather
marked fluctuation the balance
between motor and railway pas
senger transport appears to have
reached the point of stability, ac-
cording to A, B. Barber, manager
Of the department of transporta-
ton and communication of the
Chamber of Commerce of the
United States,
"There was a marked decline in
railroad passenger traffic." he said
in an address to the Washington
Passenger Traffic Association,
"from 1920 to 1924. But the
figures for 1926 were only a frac-
ton of one per cent under those
for 1924. !
1.-THE loss in passenger business
due to motor competition, chiefly
in the short-haul business, ap-
pears to have almost reached an
equilibrium with the long-haul
service.
There is a growing recognition
of the logical division of the field
between rail and motor transpor.
tation. Many of the railroads are
gladly giving up their non profit
able short-haul passenger business
to the motor carriers or are in
stalling bus services Of their own,
either feeders or in some cases
paralleling their own lines for
short hauls. Other railroads have
met the short:haul or branch line
passenger traffic problem by the
use of gasoline rail cars or mixed
freight and passenger trains for
local service in light traffic

VENUS AND MOON
By Garrett p. SerVIss

ponding with the invisible phase
Of the moon when it changes
from old to new" Venus Is
now In the morning sky and has
again assumed the form OF a
crescent. AS, it goes on in its
orbit, it will become in success
sion again half moon, gibbous and
full moon in it's shape.
Next consider the moon. You
see at once that the moon and
Venus are at Numerically Oppo-
site points in their respective
orbits with regard to the sun
when they attain the full phase.
That phase occurs with the moon
when she is opposite to the sun
as seen from the earth, but with
Venus 1t occurs when the planet
is in the same direction as the
sun, but is situated beyond the
sun.
You will also notice that al.
though the half moon phases of
both Venus and the moon occur
at corresponding points in their
orbits, yet there Is a reversal
with respect to the crescent and
the gibbous phases.
Thus the moon Is crescent
when it Is in the near side OF
its orbit with respect to the
sun, but gibbous when 1t il in
the far side. On the contrary,
Venus Is crescent when 1t is In
the near side of its orbit with
respect to the earth. and gibbous
when it is in the far side.
The reason for these differ
ences is best made evident by q
study of the picture.

The Woman No Man Gan FOOl
4 NAN who can't fool his own
"A wife, can never fool jury
af IL strange womcn!" remarks
that cheerful philosopher. @. Q.
Mcintyre.
oh, CAN'T he? And why not.
Mr. Mcintyre?
A man can fool q few women
some Of the time-but not even
Jove, himself, could manage the
same woman in the same way
more than three-quarters OF tho
time! Juno had his number!
It is far easier to start IL
women guessing, than 1t Is to
keep one woman guessing.
After a cold bath, & shave and
haircut. a man can step into
court room, looking the soul Of
Injured Innocence-but the woman
who had to turn on the cold
shower and clean his safety-razor
gets ia different vision.
A man is ALWAYS fooling some
strange woman. who doesn't know
his record. his signals or his lido
syncracies-but, it takes fine art
TO fool the woman who has his
every little mannerism, bluff, and
alibi catalogued and card-indexed.
Who knows. just by. the quirk
OF his eyebrow that he doesn't
like the way his chop is cooked
or the way her hair Is waved. or
that something has happened at
the office.
Who knows. by the sound Of his
first step on the piazza. exactly
how many drinks he has had
and where he got them.
Who knows by the enforced
ardor OF his kiss. and the defiant
checrfulness of his greeting, that
he is planning to get away to a
,oker party after dinner. and 10
thinking up an argument.
Who knows. by the way in
which he peppers his potatoes and
forgets to eat his asparagus, that
he has lost money on the races,
or in deal.> or through a hole
in his pocket.
And who knows. by the blank
way in which he gazes at his
newspaper or stares over it into
The fire, that he is thinking of
another woman.
Or knows by the high pink mol.
.sh on his finger nails. and the
fact that he is wearing his sporti-
est nccktie. that there Is a red.
Laired manicurist somew h ere
around his office building.
And. by the listless apathetic
way in which he gulps down his
steak that he has been taking
SOMEBODY out to lunch.
oh yes, a man can fool IL
strange women. who never had
his number: but Love gives a
woman second sight!
A man can fool his friends. his
enemies. his boss. his office force
and sometimes even himself!
But. no man can fool the woman
who LOVES him!
