Burke motored by way of Detroit and Chicago, and, although he is an American citiâ€" zen, he was not permited, while in the United States, to sell the souvenirs with which he had equipped himself before he left as one means of sustenance on the: journey. He crossed back into Canada at Emerson, the letter stated, and he was then well ahead of his schedule. Under the terms of the wager, he is not to reach Vancouver before October 5, nor later than November 5, three and four months, respectively, from the time he left Cobalt. It may be noted in passing that the freak wager did not apparently elicit much support across the line, at least not to the extent of allowing the necessary sale of souvenirs. Perhaps, the United States has heard of the cold reseption given generally in the North Land to the soâ€"called "King of the Hoboes" who visited here last year and who was nolitely and impolity told to act like a pC he insists up development less effort to eign countrie their product: ONEâ€"ARMED COBALT DRIVER NOW AS FAR As MANITOBA L IMITED NEW LISKEARD, ONT. resent available and resent avaiilable and in order to bring I ch of as many of our customers as possi es will be sold to any one individual. hased for cashâ€"$107 a shareâ€"or partial payments.

McCrea recently visited Kapuskasing on his tour of the North there was a special meeting of the Kapuskasing and District Board of Trade and the visiting cabinet minister heard a frank and free but friendly review of the needs of the district, Just as at Timmins when conference was held with Hon. Mr. McCrea special emphasis was placed on one particular point. At Timmins the particular matâ€" ter stressed was the question of buildâ€" ing the railway to Kamiskotia. At Kapuskasing the emphasis was placed on the crying need of roads for the district. The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasing, gave an extended report of the conference, and from this reâ€" port it is plain to see that the Kapusâ€" kasing Board of Trade is fully seized of the idea that roads for settlers are vital to the development of the country. At one time the same thought seemed to possess the Timmins Board of Trade buit latterly the question is not kept as fully to the front as its importance demands.

He did not advocate the building of roads in advance of settleâ€" ment, as this had been tried out with poor results, but he thought that when settlers went in one year the road should be built the next year, so as to give the settler and the country alike a fair chance.

The recent, conference of the Ministers of Lands and Forests of the various Provinces with the Dominion authorities makes a long step forwara in the proper management of our forests. We badly need to know how much timber we have of various specâ€" ies, where it is located, and how it can best be developed, protected and perpetuated; and it is hoped that as "Today fire protection is not perfect; but the damage by forest fires has cerâ€" tainly been tremendously reduced, and there is no reason why they should not be practically eliminated. The exâ€" tremely valuable work done by the Canadian Forestry Association in eduâ€" cating the public deserves the highest praise. To the forestry profession really belongs in a large measure the credit for the change in public opinion in regard to fire; in some cases foresters have been working steadily in and out of season educating the industry with which they have been connected. This has born fruit in generous contribuâ€" tions from the industries to propaganâ€" da, and has also resulted in tremenâ€" dous improvements in logging operâ€" ations and in the general care of the forest. vhich live i balance Elwood Wilson, Grand Mere, Quebec, writing in Canada Lumberman recentâ€" ly, effectively points out that Canaâ€" dians should ascertain how much wood they have and regulate its production. Mr. Wilson‘s article is as follows:â€" "It begins to look as if Canada had finally wakened up to the necessity of taking Ccare ol Its mnost Va@IUADiC asse â€"the forest. The work commenced about twentyâ€"five years ago by the founders of the Canadian Forestry Asâ€" sociation and by individuals here and there has finally resulted in the awakâ€" ening of public opinion which, in turn, has reacted as it always does on those in official positions, and it appears now as if our forests might be rationally handled for the best good of the greatâ€" est number of people.
