The one method to sectwe safety from the bush fire menace seems to be the clearing of an area as a ‘‘fire guard‘‘ around the towns of the Norâ€" th Land. The general opinion is that this ‘‘fireâ€"guard‘‘ area should ‘be at least a mile wide. Not only should the "‘fireâ€"guard‘‘ area be cleared of timber, but all logs, stumps, shash and debris should be completely removed. This seems to be definitely agreed upâ€" on by all who have studied the quesâ€" tion, and all remaining now to be deâ€" cided. seems to be the method. by which this "‘fire guard‘‘ may be estaâ€" blished. ‘Other aids to removing the bush fire menace have ‘been suggested, but the ‘‘fire guard‘"‘ plan seems to be generally viewed as an essential.

The beavers have been again heard from regarding proâ€" bable@@nditions for the coming winâ€" ter. This time the M.P.P. for this ridâ€" ing was not the medium of communiâ€" cation, but no dowbt he will stand by what the ‘beavers say in any case. The beavers, it is said, are carrying on their building operations without hurâ€" ry or haste. This is understood to mean that they are quite aware that they have no hard winter to prepare tor, but that rather the weather is goâ€" ing to be mild and open most of the season. It is, according to the oldâ€" timers‘ reading of the beavers, pracâ€" tically an assured fact that it is goâ€" ing to be a nice mild little winter.

J. Downie. Mr. Downie dealt with the life and work of the Sceottish Poet from an original viewpoint. _ Burns was skillfully depicted, not so much gainst hypoecrisy, tyranny and inhuâ€" manity, as exhibited in certain social, religious and political cireles of his day, and tribute was duly paid to his great service in the fight for the rights of the common people. His political opinions were also dealt with by Mr. Downie who touched upon the lifeâ€" long discontent of Burns in regard to social and pceonomic inequalities and injustices. In this discontent Burns had proved himsélf truly the People‘s Poet. In the discussion on Mr. Dowâ€" nie‘s paper, it was pointed out that Burns, â€" though discontented. with many things of his day, was always loyal to his country.. Mr. C. G. Pirie mentioned the Poet‘s prompt enlistâ€" many things o his day, was alwWways loyal to his country.. Mr. C. G.

Mr. T. 8.

Any legitimate call for transfer of shares will ‘bear the fullest investigation and solid conâ€" cerns like the Hollinger, Nipissing and Dome always welcome the fullest enâ€" quiry and give ample time for invesâ€" tigation and study when they submit any proposals. Recently some one with a list of shareholders of the big mines has been sending requests for the sending in to a New York address of certificates, to be endorsed in blank, and excehanged for other stock. Stockholders who got in touch with the mining companies concerned were promptly informed that the companies had made no such call for the transfer of stock,. In some cases ‘the stockholders informed their compani.e:; that they had received telephone or other requests to endorse their stock in blank and forward to a New York firm in exchange for other stock and that this must be done imâ€" medijately or otherwise a charge of 75 cents per share would be made. In some of the telephone calls the man attempting to secure the transfer of \stock represented himself as a proâ€" minent officer of the mining company concerned. S8o far,as can be lTearned none of the transfers have been acâ€" tually put through, the trick apparâ€" ently being discovered too early in the game. The mining companies have made it absolutely clear that they have no connection, direct or indirect, with the unauthorized eall for transâ€" fer of certificates, and the puhlic ganâ€" erally should bhe consequently warned in time not to fall for anything like the schemes referred to.
