Chatham News:â€"â€"Anâ€" interesting and worth while step has been taken in Norfolk County in the decision of the Norfolk Historical Society to establish a museum for the collecting of historical reeords and relies of the district. The pioneer days of Norâ€" folk, as of other counties of Western Ontario, were full of thrilling hisâ€" tory, and a collection of this kind would be both inspiring and instrueâ€" tive to the younger generation, and to those who will follow. Mr. Mott also mentroned that he recently took some snapshots of moose and red deer singly and in groups in the creek and lake within 250 yards of the mill.These denizens of the forest went there in. daytime to get some relief in the eool water from the swarms of black flies and mosquiâ€" Again there will be general agreeâ€" ment with what Mr. Mott though prospectors and others + have to travel through the bush and meet the flies in their native haum‘s instead of having even the slight proâ€" tection of office or shack buildings, will say the picture is by no means overdrawn. Commenting further upon the heavy invasion and incessant attack of the flies, Mr. Mott says that in other years workers were always able to buy dope that would keep the pests from the face, but this season it was different and nothing that one can get seems to have any effect as the flies are so determined. **You can ‘@wke my word for it,""‘ he added in an interview with The Canadian Lumberman,\ ‘ that they are something to contend with. There is no doubt but that the ex@Â¥sive wet weather has had a lot to do with our present conditions. You can\ realize how interesting it is to run 4 typeâ€" writer or add up columns of with one hand and fighting and mosquitoes with the other. \| For several days we have written no one, not even our wives and families. bo € i ind What Mr. Mott says will be generâ€" ally admitted to be the common opinâ€" i0n of prospectors as well as lumberâ€" men and others having oceasion to use the bush this season. the active black fly and mosquito. At no time have I cver known these pests to be as thick and vicious as they are this year and particularly now (July 14). They are simply going like wild cats and on their beats twentyâ€"four hours a day and seven days a week and they show no partialâ€" ity regarding the persons whom they attack,‘‘ said William D. Mott of the A. H. Oliver Lumber Co., Bagshot, Ont.

Mr. R. C. Hosie of the Faculty staff ‘s also continuing his study of forest types in Northern Ontario. He is enâ€" deavouring to work out some simple method of classifying the different forest conditions so as to obtain some ready index to their present and fuâ€" ture woodâ€"producing capacity.

PAGSING DF PIDNEER REGIOENT OFf THE NORTH THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO No town likes to have any very poor men, but lots of town have found that rich men are not much advantage to a town, though, of course, the shinâ€" ing exceptions are popular indeed. Often, the rich men lose interest in the progress of the community where they received their start. It was not so in Renfrew, where the rich men were among the most helpful in the town and were generous with their time and talent as well as their money in all efforts for the advance of the community. _ The same is true, apâ€" parently, about the rich men of New Liskeard. The New Liskeard Speaker gives the rich men of that town due credit for continued loyalty and inteorâ€" est in regard to the town. â€" Recently, the enterprise of a number of New Liskeard men in getting in on the ground floor, with certain mining venâ€" tures, notably Noranda, has resulted in fortunes being made by many of those concerned. It is pleasant to.

Douglas, was drowned. _ He was storekeeper for Davidson and Hay, owners of a boat running on the lake. ‘The boat was roceeding to one of the lumber camps up the lake when fire broke out on the boat and those on the vessel had to abandon it.
