Here In North Cochrane a large number of individual fires have been reported but none of them have attained dangerous proportions, according to the reports. With the help of the heavy rains and the able work of the fire trangers they may be said to be well curbed now. History and Art of Dentistry Detailed Kiwanis Hear Excelient. Addres; by Dr. 8. L.

A number of settlers in some of the townships of Northwestern Quebec fied to escape the oncoming fires. On Monday night, however, a downpour of rain, followed by more on Tuesday and Wednesday dampened down the fires, which now! may be said to be well under control| and removed from the menace class. Many settlers have returned to the homes from which they fied. There were large forces of men engaged inl fighting the fires in the Rouyn a.rea.,' and these did excellent work, and with the welcome rains to ‘help, have reâ€" moved practically all danger. In the Sudbury district, the good work of the fire rangers, together with the large numbers of special men fightâ€" ing the fires have brought the Sudbury bush fires under control. fires were reported as particularly menâ€" acing, though some of the stories, both published ones and those carried by word of mouth, were much exaggerated. At the same time both Rouyn and Noâ€" randa were at times in danger and preâ€" cautions were taken by both municipal and provincial authorities to guard the public safety,. According to word from Rouyn this week Mayor Reilly of that town had a number of C.N.R. freight cars held at Rouyn so that in case of serious danger the people would be able to get to safety. The dense smoke that was blown upon Noranda and Rouyn caused inconvenience and some alarm, but for the muost part the people took the danger very quietly and without any unnecessary anxiety. A week or so ago bush fires that seemed to have conâ€" siderable force behind them leapt across Kekeski lake at three different points and as one despatch phrased it. Last week bush fires were reported from all over the North, the unusually long spell of dry weather being reâ€" sponsible for the conditions that made the bush fires so much of a menace. The latter part of last week and this week, however, heavy rains came and the progress of the fires has been checked. At the time of writing it may be said that all the many fires are unâ€" der control and there is now no immeâ€" diate danger. The two areas where the greatest danger existed last week was in the Rouyn and Sudbury districts.

There were reports sent in to the fire hall that the fire was right up to oil tanks, that it was actually in the back yard of this or that resident of the western or southern corners of the town. These reports were found to be unfounded, however, the fire not coming near these places. Fire Chief Borland says that at no time was there serious danger. He had to be prepared to look after any fires that might occur in the town in the ordinary way and so could not consider putting any large part of the equipment in the outlying sections of the town as some seemed to desire. The situation, â€"however, was thoroughly covered and at no time did he feel there was any reason fur anxiety or any real danger. The heavy rains this week completed the safeguarding of the town from any danger. The dense smoke drifting over parts of the town made the anxiety of the people in some secâ€" tions very easy to understand. With the smoke and the danger that seemed to arise from the chance of fiying emâ€" bers there was every justification for the precautions that were taken.

Several were seen burying valuables with a view to being ready to make hasty departure if the fires reached the town. Others packed up goods that they thought would be of immediate need and were ready to make hasty departure. The authoriâ€" ties, however, did not think there was any danger. Fire Chief Borland kept in very close touch with the situation., and on Saturday he had Deputy Chief E. H. Hill at the west of the town to make expert survey of conditions.
