HALLOWE‘EN EUCHRE BY ALTAE GIRLS‘ SOCIETY THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO. That Ontario‘s air patrol of forests is very extravagant is the verdict held by Quebee provineial officials, five of whom discussed forestry matâ€" ters in an intervitew last week in the office of F. X. Lemieux, the Deputy Mimister of Lands Forests. ‘*Ontario knows its own business best and we do not wish to criticize,"‘" said one of these authorities, ‘"but your province spent a~ quarter of million dollars on an air patrol during the last two years with which you could employ a lot of rangers and put up a multitude of observation towers."‘ spent only $3,000 on aeriâ€" al fire patrol work and about $100,000 in making air surveys of forests. It is cheaper to get private parties to do the work at so much per flying hoeur. Some 3,5090 rangers were on the lookout for fires, half of whom were employed by private parties. That means that every five or six square miles of the settled districts had its own rangers. It is 600 miles from Quebec city to Labrador and many remote districts are not patrolâ€" led."‘ DOES ONTARIO SPEND 100 MUCH FOR AlR PATROL! Atevarious times there has hbeen criticism in this North Land of the attention given to air patrols for forest fire prevention work. Many have thought that Ontario has speâ€" cialized too much on the airships, and, perhaps, neglected other forms of forest protection. _ Beeause of the fact that in the last few years there have been no serfous forest fires the citicism has not been pressed. Howâ€" ever, the view of Quebec officials will be of interest in this matter. Quebec Provincial Officials Do Not _ Agree With Policy of Ontario. Kieffer, Chief the Forest Protection Service, says that since the discovery of America, 60 per cent. of _ the forest of Canada has been destroyed by fire or nearly five.times as much as has been used for industrial purposes, which he puts at 13 per cent. » He described fire as the forest‘s greatest enemy.‘‘ The Sudbury Star last week says; ‘*With the big game hunting seaâ€" son due to open on Oct.. 25th, continuâ€" ing until Nov, 30th, there is a pleniâ€" tude of deer and moose in Sudbury District. _ Wolves like the poor are ‘‘always with us,""‘ and as rabbits have just passed the ‘‘peak of proâ€" duction,"‘‘ according to the seven year cyele, there is no dearth of foxes, Game Warden Joe Mulligan, who travels the district extensively, states that the most noticeable increase in the past year is in the number of moose. Only recently, while in the neighbourhood of Noelville, near the west arm of Lake Nipissing, he states that, his rightâ€"ofâ€"way was invaded by a large bull moose which remained at the side of the road while three wagons passed, showing no signs of fear. lt is in this district particuâ€" larly where moose are Even with the expansion of settleâ€" ments. the outlying communities are still menaced with wolves and lynx. Three years ago the number of wolf and lynx pelts sold was negligible, but last season over five hundred were bought from trappers and farmers. The prevalency of these animals and foxes is attributed to the increased number of rabbits. _ food easily procurable, the wolves and foxes breed rapidly and in some places are becoming a menace to the farmers. In the vicinity of Massey, farmers have been forceed to give up sheep raising. Among the smaller game, ducks are plentiful but there is a marked scearcity of partridge. The latter have not recouped from the heavy snows of three years ago which killed a great numver in all sections. The season for partridge is closed.‘‘ PLENTY OF DEER AND MOOSE INâ€"THE SUDBURY DISTRICT. 11 Canvasser : Is the lady of the house Maid: Yes, she‘s taking a bath. Canvasser: 1‘d like to see her.

Saunders at the Central Experiâ€" mental Farm, Ottawa, Canada. about the year 1900. It bloomed first in 1902 and has been under test at Otâ€" tawa ever since and although never protected during the winters, it has never been noticeably injured by the weather. _ The flowers, double and pale amber in colour, are borne singâ€" ly and in great profusion. It is fraâ€" grant and blooms early but only onece in the season. â€" Because of its extrems earliness and great hardiness and district and. attractive of flower, this variety should prove a valuable addition to the roses of the Rugosa group.

Thursday last he put an advertisement in The Advance asking for the return of the keys, and they were duly returned on Friday.

The Legionary, the organ of the Canadian Legion, this week says : ‘"Recent discoveries of gold in Northern Ontario, Southern Califorâ€" nia, and the Republic of Panama promise enrichment of the world‘s supply and stimulation of that branch of the mining industry which suffered heavily during the war. _ Whether these finds will prove abundant reâ€" mains to be seen, but the general acâ€" tivity is weleomed as improved transâ€" portation facilities, of new districts to agriculture and. other pursuits, and the establishment of permanent commercial centres, often follow in the wake of a gold rush.
