Everyâ€" one had the idea that the winter was over. Some time (during Sunday night the change came. The drop in temperature was acempanied by someâ€" thing of a blizzard which piled up drifs of loose snow and necessitated the use of thetown snowplough. Snow fell through the greater part of the day and the wind continued strong.‘‘ This is interesting to all readers of The Haileyburian who do not happen to live in Haileybury, and aasers from mnow it will be still ten yvears from. now it WILL VC Skild more interesting. As a matter of record it may be noted that while Timmins and district also suffered a big drop in temperature and there was a very strong wind blowing, especialâ€" ly on the Sunday night, there was no fall of snow tere.

Cards Issued by Dept. Schumacher‘s fire alarm system is working in fine shape now, all being necessary further is the intelligent coâ€" operation of the public. The one big requirement after an alarm is turned in is to stay by the box until the briâ€" gade arrives so that no time. may be lost in the firemen seeking the locaâ€" tion of the fire. On several occasions during the past few years in Timâ€" mins difficulty has been given to the brigade here by people turning in an alarm from a box and then going aâ€" way. _ Unless the fire were plainly evident it might take some minutes for the brigade to locate it, while if the person sending in the alarm stayâ€" ed by the box until the firemen arâ€" rived the information would be availâ€" able at once to the brigade and so in some cases vital time would be saved. Always stay by the box after turning in an alarm. The people of Schmachâ€" er /might do well to make a special note of this at this time. Top Quality INGURANGE FOR FARM BUMLOINGS IN THE NORTR Agricultural . Development _ Board Handling a Fire Insurance Scheme for Farm Proâ€" perty ter that has neld ile 0i business men and householders and it is usually recognized as a live issue. [t is not perhaps so generally and fully recognized that especially since the forest fire of 1922 in Temiskamâ€" ing, there has practically been no fair possibility of insurance for farm buildings in this North until very recently. _ The question ‘was before the _ Northern _ Ontario _ Associatâ€" ed Boards of Trade on more than one occeasion, and the president for the year, Mr. C. W. Wright, was one of those taking an especial interâ€" est in the matter. Often at the Asâ€" sociated Boards of Trade there is a feeling of ‘*‘Oh, what‘s the use? We‘ve been â€" hammering away for years at that question with no reâ€" sult!‘‘ The matter of fire insurance on farm buildings is one of the quesâ€" tions that prove that it pays to hamâ€" mer away and that results are nearly sure to follow, sooner or later, if the cause is right.. For a time it looked as if it were hopeless to expect anyâ€" thing at all in the way of relief by for farm buildings, but against this it was argued that the Ontario â€" Government â€" was _ always ready to give consideration to any matter of vital importance to the North Land, and some plan might be evolved to help the situation. _ The plan was finally developed and now the need is to make it generally known so that it may have the greatâ€" est helpfulness.

' Various organized bodies in the disâ€" trict have had the matter under conâ€" sideration and as a result of corresâ€" pondence with our local member, Mr. A. J. Kennedy, the U.F.O0.

Why be so hard on the Hollinger, when there is so much worse being done openly by others before our eyes, if we have eyes to see? Every winter there is much worse going on all around us and far It‘s just like pouring gasline all over the counâ€" try. The timber is being taken out, and slash is being left scattered on the ground. Some day when there is a 70â€"mile an hour wind blowing, and thigmrubbish catches fire, it will be zmmm‘ Matheson or Poreupine disâ€" aster. _ There was not much slash west of Haileybury or real close to that town, yeb Haileybury burned. A man would have been called crazy if he had predicted that Hailey bm'_ would burn from a bush fire. Any company leaving their slashings on the ground are helping to lay the foundation for a far worse disaster than the Hollinger has had. _A forest fire will spread to a town ; it will burn up the young trees as well as the game and the smaller timber, such as is used in making pulp and paper. What will our two biggest mills elose to Poreupine do if most of the pulp is burned. Their mills are a eredit to the North. _ They have beautiful townsites around them and are here lto stay, and work day and night the | year round, while those who are layâ€" ing the foundation for fire employ a few during the winter months.â€"H.

The report Government‘ Last year the work of distributing trees was the most extensive in the department‘s history, 7,000,000 being sent throughout the province. There is particular mention of the survey of the iimber wealth of the province, and the finding that ‘* there are large sections of the province which are decreed by nature to proâ€" duce nothing but a crop of timber. Such sections should inevitably be withheld from further futile attempts at farming, and should be fenced for the reproduction of h timber erop."‘ Throughout the last year 110,541.68 acres of Crown lands were sold by the province for agricultural, townsite, tourists and various other purposes. The sales amounted to $207,476.25, on which was collected the sum of $144,â€" 673.46. This acreage is 24,321 acres in excess of the previous year,.
