Praise Given to Air Patrol Without belittling in any way the article given below, it is not out of place to suggest that the air patrol system in Ontario is not altogether responsible, as seems to be suggested, for the reduction in forest fire losses. Other conditions have entered into the reduction of losses from forest fires. There are years that may aptly be termed "‘forest fire years.‘‘ The last year or two have not been of this type. With lots of rain and few long stretches of hot sunny weather, the danger from fires in the forest is naturally reduced. In this connection it may also be noted that many thoughtful people in this North Land have feared that too much dependâ€" ence has been placed by the Dept. of Lands and Forests on the air service. The airships, of course, are undoubtâ€" edly of the greatest service in spying out incipient fires in the bush. Then these discovered fires may be fought in their early stages. But for the latter it is necessary to maintain the fire ranging foree at proper size and efficiency. This question was disâ€" cussed at a meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade last summer and the fear was expressed that time and exâ€" pense were Ibeing centered on the air patrols to the posisible neglect of the other branches of the forest protecâ€" tion service. Results, of course, are what count, and so long as the Department has the pleasing record of the year now closing, in regard to forest fire losses, there will naturally be general satisâ€" faction. It may not be amiss, howâ€" ever, to emphasize the fact that all branches of the forest protection serâ€" vice should be kept up to assure real gafety. The article referred to in the openâ€" ing paragraph above is from The Mail and Empire of recent date. The M#il and Empire says:â€"â€" in view the desirability of preserving Ontario‘s forest wealth, Hon. James Lyons, Minister of Lands and Forests in the Ferguson Governâ€" ment, is introducing a new system with respect to the sale of Governâ€" ment timber. The system, which will be first applied to the big timber conâ€" tracts which are to be let in the Nipiâ€" gon district, ealls for the signing of contracts which will specify that all timber, not merely that which is merâ€" chantable, must be cut. The Governâ€" ment also reserves the right to compel the burning of slash lby operators and this will be enforceed in the neighborâ€" hood of railway tracks, thus mitigatâ€" ing the possibility of fires. "‘In regard to the Nipigon limits, it isâ€"also special that construction on the big developments, which inâ€" clude large saw mills and paper mills, must be commenced within 30 days of the signing of the contract and must be completed within four years. ‘‘Tremendous reduction in forest fires in Ontario is another feature of Ferguson Government forest adminisâ€" tration which is revealed in the tabuâ€" lated results of the past seven years, which have been compiled by Hon. Mr. Lyons. This year the area desâ€" troyed by forest fires in the Province was 10,400 acres; last year it was 14,â€" 000 Acres; wthile for the five preceding years it averaged the appalling figure of 1,000,000 acres each year. This tremendous decrease in area destroyâ€" ed is due largely to. the efficiency of the air patrol system, which has sueâ€" cessfully combatted fires in their inâ€" cipient stages.‘‘ JUNIOR HOCKEY BETY EN COBALT AND LISKEARD In view of the fact that the winner of: the Timminsâ€"Iroquois Falls Junior Hockey will play off the winner of the _ Cobaltâ€"Liskeard _ series, the matches in the latter group will be of interest here.

A very interesting extract from a letter written by Ven. Archdeacon Woodall is published in the last isâ€" sue of The New Liskeard Speaker. In the letter referred to, Archdeacon Woodall says :â€" ‘‘The incident to which you refer occurred shortly after my arpval in Canada. Everything _ was (then strange and fresh to me and my eyes were probably wider open to things around me than they are today. ‘"‘In those days the Hudson Bay Company pastured their cattle on Hazy, one of the numerous islands in the mouth of the Moose River. From the time the cattle were put on the island in the early summer until the ""‘freezeâ€"up‘‘ they were unattendâ€" ed. When the ice was strong enough to lbear their weight they walked home to their winter quarters at Moose Factory (led by an aged bull or steer which had been over the i1ce in a previous year). "It was early in December 1902 that Bishop Newman and the writer were out on the Moose River setting hooks through the iee for the beautiâ€" ful speckled trout we used to catch there (on that oceasion I pulled one out weighing 4 Ibs. 6 oz.) that the catâ€" tle from Hazy passed us on their trek home. Most of them were young animals and I viewed them as they passed with the critical eye of a farmer, who in my younger days had fed many a twoâ€"yearâ€"old steer for Christmas market in the Old Country. ‘"When the Bishop told me in reply to my question where these animals had been since the earlv <unmer, and how they had foraged for themselves on the island of Hazy, I was amazed to think that animals could thrive and come home in such fine condition unâ€" der such cireumstances. For some time past the weather had been cold and several inches of snow had fallen, vet all the animals were in good fetâ€" tle and some were fat and fit for any slaughter house. THE SMALL BOY GOT MORE THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS ‘‘Iâ€"well remember saying to the Bishop, "‘If this country with its naâ€" tural grasses can produce such beef under such conditions what will it do when subdued and brought under culâ€" tivation.‘‘ I thought I foresaw the possibilities of stock raising on the marshe;s around James Bay."‘ ‘‘Father made a radio receiving set out of an oyster container, some old wire that had been used for hangâ€" ing pictures, a box of paper clips and the kitchen doorbell that was out of commission. By a triumph of tuning he got Des Moines. This is from The 100â€"Ton Booster, issued by the Canada Metal Co.:â€" ‘‘Uncle Joe constructed a set from a secondâ€"hand selfâ€"starter, a toâ€" mato can, a cane seat from a brokenâ€" down chair and the temperamental shower bath in the guestâ€"room. He got Havana. ‘‘Sister with ingenuity quite reâ€" markable for her sex put . together a set from material comprising burntâ€" out cake pan, a prune hox, short lengths of clothesline wire and a package of hairpins for which she had no earthly use since bobbing her hair. Wouldâ€"you ‘believe it 2â€"she got Lonâ€" don. ‘"‘Little brother, not to be outdone, manufactured all by himself a most remarkable radio from mother‘s curlâ€" ing iron, father‘s toothbrush, Uncle Joe‘s umbrella, sister‘s full perfume bottle and the cook‘s favorite meat knife. He got Hell.‘"‘ What portion of the world have the meek inherited ?
