Lake club on August 4. W hether they will go on to Timmins as originâ€" ally planned, is up to the Timmins Kiwanians. There is a slight hitch. Timmins sent word toâ€"day to Lieutâ€" enantâ€"Governor Dr. W. A. Lewis, of Barrie, who is organizing the trip, stating ‘"We are writing.‘‘ Timmins seems to feel that the Ferguson highâ€" way is no longer in condition to inâ€" vite motor delegates up its way. Unâ€" doubtedly the roads received a black eyve in the South due to the experiâ€" ence of the Simcoe County Conncil‘s invasion. â€" Timmins Kiwanis would appear to lbe backing up their town council in bringing pressure to bear on the government to ‘‘do someâ€" thing.‘‘ It is impossible at this stage to say how many will make the trip or the extent of the itinerary. It is planned to have each of the twentyâ€" five clubs represented by as many as possible and they will be on hand at Kirkland Lake on August 4, whether by motor or by train. Mr. (% W.

Has Been Missing Since June 28th. Brother Now in West Assisting in Search. During the week no further trace has been reported of _ Mr. Andrew Taylor, formerly of Timmins, who has been missing since June 28th. Mr. Taylor, who reeently had lived _ at South Porcupine, went to the West some weeks ago to work at the Sherrâ€" ittâ€" Gordon Mine. On arrival in Manâ€" itoba he found it would be a couple of weeks or so ‘before the position at the mine would be ready for him and he decided to employ the time by going on prospecting trip with two friends, Messrs. Avery and MceCoy, from Cobalt. : They were in the Norâ€" thern Manitoba area and on June 28th his partners reported that he had left the camp to bring some water and that apparently he had been lost in the bush and all their efforts to locate him had proved unavailing. He was only gone about 15 minutes before they wereâ€"searching for him as they expected him right back. He was a good bushman and for a time it was thought he would return all right himself. Men and airships seoured the country since to find him but the latest word from the West leaves him still missing. HMis brother, Mr. Wimn. Taylor, left several days ago for the Bherrittâ€"Gordon to assist in the search for him. Word this week from the brother is to the effect that Andy has not vet located.

At present they are under control by the rangers, but continued dry weather may set them out of hand and certain of the newer towns that have grown up with the mining boom in Manitoba may be enâ€" dangered During the weekâ€"end there were no less than thirty sepsrate fires reported by forestry ofucials. Some were minor affairs, but others were of more serious proportions. There are rather bad fires not far from the Cormorant and Flin Flon districts. The Manitoba forestry deâ€" partment has been thoroughly tested in the work of fighting the fires.

There is a tenâ€" dency on the part of some of the oftiâ€" clals of the forestry department, it is said, to blame most of bush fires ‘‘green‘‘ prospectors who did not properly deaden their fires when shifting camp. It is an advance to have the forest fires blamed on only a section of the prospectors. There used to be an idea held by some that jrospectors generally started the bush fires through carelessness or to clear off the timber in the mining areas. Of course there was no proper foundaâ€" tion to this idea, the average prosâ€" pector being most careful in the matâ€" ter of fire. He has to be if he wants to keep on living, for bush fires enâ€" danger the lives of prospectors in the country just as much as anybody else. The prospector usually knows too much about bush fires to risk his own life and the lives of others by any carelessness.
