The lumber for the Arctic Brotherhood
building was expected to arrive on the
Danube but on account of the largt
amount of freight which was billed to
come north on that boat, it was feared
that a deck load of lumber would prove too
much for the vessel. The lumber will
most likely come north on the next Cana
dian boat and work will be immediately
started on the building.
