Whitlow & Co., Toronto. MR. A. J. TREBILCOCK WRITES Telie About Fighting Forest Fires In Patricia. Pine Rdge ,August 7th--J. H. Stirrett, chief fire ranger for the District of Patricia called upon us on Tuesdav- night, and informed us that the plane had corne in and re- ported anoz.her forest fire-the eighth on his hands, this time a few miles up the Trout Lake River 3n the Woman Lake water route. He was very anxiaus to get nmen to go at dawn to take zhe fire bef ore it spread too fac. He had been tak- ing on men every day for a week, and sending them out as fast as they could go, for his deputies fromn Red Lake, Woman Lake and other dis- tricts were reporting that the hot, dry weather and the fires already under way were mnaking things ser- ious. Under the For-est Fires Act, he could order ail available men cut, but he did flot want to do this un!es absoluely necessary. A party of six was soon made up, camprising Manville, the assayer; Lawrie Dunlop, the storekeeper; Or- sec. the Red Lake boat owner; Jack O'Gorman, fiying corps observer; Don MaeVica.r, the nîinister, and I. We were to leave at dawn in an Or- ser boat, with a fire punp 1,500 feet of hose, spades, shovels, axes, and two bags of grub. We would get back wvhen the fire was out. Orzer called for us at 3:40 a. m. Dawn was just breaking, the remains utf the coid mèon were shining in the eastern sky and the stars were stili showing. It promised to be a fine, hot day again-just what the fire rangers dreaded. There had been no ramn for two weeks, and the bush was like tinder, hence they prayed steadily for a change. Two miles doWn the English river, we came ta the big portage of the Hudson's Bay Company, which pass- es the two Ear Falls. Here to save time, usually accupied in traversing the two shorter portages, 0'Gornian got the Hudson's Bay Transport to take our equipment over the tote road, about a mile, ta the dock be- low the falls. A Bain wagon, pull- ed by one horse, hauled everything in one load-the pumsnp, hose, tooLs, gcub, packsack of blankets, slickers, thrpa.ulins, etc, Meantime, Orser, Manville and Dunlop took the boat- a 22-foot Sponson canoe with oat- board Johnson motor-over the two shorter portages, and met us at the lower dock. Everything loaded, we made breakfast-bacon, bread and butter, jam and coffee-then started off down the river, for oiar destination, 40 miles away. We followed the English River to the junction with the Mattawa-where the old ITud- son's Bay post and fort, the first in this country, were located and as familiarity breeds contem.pt, so it lacked the intere-st of the others. However, the sun shone brightly, the breez* kept us cool, and we saw an ccqsional red deer and imoose to re- liev* the monotony. Packwash Lake, on the west shores of which a big tire was raging on a fr-ont of three miles and was being fought by a gang of nmen under Mc- Leod, one of the Backus timber or- ganization, was reached at 9.30 a. m. The fi-e was in a long hay running to the south-west, and made iticif plainl.v felt, the whole west shore- line being indistinct. in the smoke haze, as if a mist were ising frein the water. Five miles up the lake, we gat out of this fire heit, and found bath shores clear and distinct in the sunshine. Then two miles further n9rth, and we reached the location of the se- cond firp. aîso burning on the west shore an-d threatening Snake Flats. Here we could see dense clouds of smoke rising over the forest. We kept ta the centre of the lake, which is about three miles wide, and it wvas strange indeed tg see the eastern shore showing up as clear as crystai, while toward the west everything wa. hazy, and occasionally blotted out by smoke cloudis. At the head of Lake Pack-wash we turned off the Red Lake route and started up the water trail toward Woman Lake. The mouth of the river is in one of the grassy bays which mark sa many of the northern lakes, and is very diffic uit toefind, but I had been over the joucney pre- v-iously, and found the entrance without any difficulty. Then for five miles we followed the river untîl ),%e canive ta LittIe Packwa2h Lake. This iis a very shallow body of water, about three miles ide, and extreme- ly weedy, so that we were forced to stop haIt a dozen times te clear the water grasses off the propeiler. The water in Little Packwash had risen about three feet since I was At 3:45 p. m., we reached the fire zone, and by four o'ciock had two stceams of water playing on the near side. The fire had burned over an area ut about two acres ,and was creeping through the ground ms away from the river. The failen timber madle good fuel, but fortun- ately there waa no dead sprue aruund, otherwise we ahould have had a major conflagration on oir banda. Aa it waa, trou a sceaic l standpoint it was a distinct disap- paîntinent. Our fire engine was a 5 h. p. water mator, with two cylinders. The in- take pipe was pu, in the river, run- ning under the cance 50 that it would not get chaked in the weeds. Two lines of hose, one hundred feet long, were run north and south, the tank filled with gasoline, and Manville and MacVicar t'oak the nozzles. O'Gor- mian ran the machine, and Orser and I took axes and spades and went avec thp hurning ares, inta the for- est, where we began stripping away the mos, feliing small hcush and digging atrench clown ta the ciay. As soon as this wvas clone, it was filled with water, so that the fire could nat spread any further inland. The mass was about ten inches deep, and spading through it intectwined with root.s and vines was vecy diffi- cuit. Soon, everyone was black from head ta foot, but the fice was1 rapidiy dwindiing. At 5:30 two of us ccossed the riv- er and pitched camp for the night, puting up a 7 x 9 tent. Then we buiit the fire and prepared supper, whuae menu duplica-ted that of our noon meai. At 7 p. m. the others came avec and we had a -rest. Then back ta the fire until 9, by which time everything had been soaked, the trench finished and any turther spread of the flames checked.ý Orser and I slept un apruce on the bottom of the boat, Manville and Dunlop in the. tent, and 0'Gorman un a spruce bed In the open. Mac-à vicar took the smail canoe, which we had towed behind us ta carry the equipment. Only three of us had thought tu bring mosquito bars, and as I have neyer known the pests to be so prevalent, the other three mnust have had a bad night. When IC dropped off to sleep about 10, 1 could hear themn slapping away and be- muaning their fate, and twice during the night when 1 awoke, the slapping was stiil going on. Such an ordeal dues Nature provide for foolish ones in the north. At dawn, 4 a. m., we were up again,, and after a dip in the river everone gut ta work. Two of us got breakfast and broke camp. the other four went acruss ta the ire, which was now smoking away fur- iuusly. However, twu hours' go-ad soaking put it out foc good, and as it began to ramn, O'Gorman who was in charge of the party, announced that we couid caîl it a day. At 6:30 we started off for home again, leaving the chanred embers to soak in the. rain. A mile duwn the river we came across a cow moose swimming, and gut quit. close ta ià before the ani- mal gat ta shore and bounded away. It cained steadhly, and we ail wore heavy shackers, and fraým tbnîe ta time crawied under the tarpaulin which covered the hoat back as far as the stern seat. It was a dreary joumney. The hours ccawled by, the engine raared, and occasionally o ne siept. Clouds of smake hovering around Packwash Lake tram the big ire on the west shore were still in the air, but the rain was playing a winning part and there was plainly much less than on the day before. Nature is a much hetter fire-fighter than is man. At 10:30 a. m., we stopped on a sand beach at the foot of Packwash and had anather meal. The open air in the north country brings a sharp appetîte, and the Governnient shlows its fire-fighters four meals a day, as well as their $4.00. Then we passed down the Mattawa, trying ta be as comfortable as passible in the rain, which vas now reduced ta a drizzle. At 2 o'clock we reached the port- age un the English River, and stop- ped for dinner.
