Even while the graves of victims were being prepared certain mining papers chose to speak of the tragedy as ‘not an un mixed blessing,‘ their reason for such ‘irony being that the destruction of the l forests might lay bare new silver mines. Still in the preparatory stages of an efficient forest protection system in volving control of settlers‘ landclearing | fires, Ontario had only five years to wait until an even worse calamity roarâ€" ed across the farming country between \Cochrane and Matheson, destroying | every vestige of life in an area of 1,200 square miles and causing 262 deaths. The year 1910 was one of the worst ‘for forest fires in many American states, such as Minnesota and Oregon, Smoke was reported by ships 300 miles at sea. Writing of the experiences of the fire rangers in Idaho, John D. | Guthrie says: "That afternoon, August 20th, a hurricane arose. Whole hillsides of timber were uprooted by it. Forest rangers were almost blown from their saddles. For 24 hours the gale raged and every little smouldering fire in all that country was fanned into life, and the ‘whole region became a raging torrent |of flames, jumping rivers a quarter of la mile wide. The rangers said the roar sounded like a thousand freight trains |passing over steel trestles. Seventy four fighters were burned to death. By August 21st a strip of country 120 miles i long by 20 to 35 miles wide had been burned." . Charlton Man Had Perfect Hand in Cribbage Recently Some of the Great Forest Fires in the History of Canada Porcupine Fire. of 1911 Noted. In 1853 came the Pontiac Fire in Quebec, with 1,600,000 acres swept bare One of the most dreadful forest disâ€" asters ever resorded was the Peshtigo fire in Wiscorsin in Octcber, 1871. A total of 1,200,000 acres was burned ovetr, homes, towns, settlements snuffed out, and 1,500 persons lost their lives. Michiâ€" gan‘s fire of 1881 created a death list of 138 bush dwellers. Then came the Hinckley, Minnesota, fiire of 1894, desâ€" troying 418 lives, 12 towns and millions of acres of woodlands. While forest fires register their ugly exactions during any year when careâ€" less humans come into contact with imâ€" fammable woodlands, there have, been certain conjunctions in Canada‘s recent history of weather conditions and reckâ€" less disasters. One of these occurred at Fernie in 1908 when a raging forest fire Isush forest fire horrors occur again? The answer is that no assurance can be given. An abnormally dry season, a string of landâ€"clearing fires by lawâ€" defiant settlers or even an abandoned icampfire, and the ‘terror that walketh ‘at midâ€"day‘ may suddenly drive even ithe war news from the headlines by a \new shock of death and disaster in the bush communities. Canada‘s line of deâ€" ‘fence against forest fires is found in ;organlzed forest protection systems, and ‘any attempt to "economize" on their staffs and equipment should meet with publicâ€" eondemnation. (By Edward Middleten in Canadian and OQutdoors) Guthrie says: *"1 20th, a hurricant of timser were rangers were al In October, 1918, came the Cloquet Fire of Minnesota. "Somebody," writes Guthrie, "didn‘t put out a cigarette beâ€" fore throwing it away, a campfire was left unextinguished, someone was foolâ€" ish enough to burn brush in such weather â€" anyway the fire started. Pronertv and timber valued at thirty Property and VAiUC dcllars were lost."
