When ‘"the bush fires were raging near Frederickhouse recently the woâ€" men and children took refuge in the large culvert under the railway track at: Buskegow. Some of the settlers also removed their valuables to the same place of apparent safety.

Mr. Devaney‘s suggestion in brief is that profits from trade should be limited by law just as profits from money loaned are now controlled. by From the report in these columns of the recoent. meeting of the 1local Conferenge on the High Cost of living it might appear that Mr. J.
