as an important factor in the detection of forest fires and in this respect on tario is particularly well equipped while aircraft have to a large extent supplanted the old canoe horseback and foot

just outside the city of vancouver and that tor as long as the oldest settler can remember has been every year the home of from twenty to thirty families of the great blue heron his intent gase caused me to look more closely at the great tree with its strange longlegged longnecked inhabitants the hemlock towered a hundred and fifty feet above the ground its dead bleached trunk stood out clearly again st the deep green of the giant douglas fir behind id there were at least thirty nests in the hcmlnrk and per- iumb two hundred of the great blue herons the nests were from two to four feet across and round each was a group of from three to seven of the great birds the lowest nest was more than fifty feet from the ground the nests were placed along the limbs ail the way from the tmnk to the droop ing tips but not one was directly be neath another the great birds were m a continuous uproar as they fought among themselves fed their youngr or winged their great elongated awkward bodies to or from the tree vancouver with its more than one hundred thousand inhabitants was so near that i could plainly hear the hum and bustle of its busy streets but the sight and noise of the city did not seem to worry the herons at all nor did the continuous tooting of the horns of countless automobiles that sped a- topg toe broad highway close by m fact the usually shy and elusive birds seemed simply to ignore roan and his contrivances they were safe- from mrxnjxi interference and they knew it vtfwitndrew my gase from the great dead hemlock and its strange and noisy colony to look more samewhat relieved cheered a llttlei at each successive picture the youth waved his hand he had taken five pictures and was leaning well over from his flinging perch when in some way the camera slipped he reached to grab it and the quick movement over balanced hint the camera came hurt ling- to the ground and at the same time be swung tin his perch there was a cry of horror from the spectators for the moment they had forgotten that the youth was belted to the limb they understood when they fax biro hanging there with his back to the limb suspended by the belt a hundred and twentyfive feet from the ground his arms and legs were sprawled out helplessly beating the air and the limb was dtoepiiigmare and giore un der his frantic struggles his face blanched with fright showed with a singular effect against the background of green sometimes in his efforts his arms touched the limb above his back but he could not have drawn him self up on the limb again even if he could have grasped it after the first paralyzing moments of horror the men near me began to talk excitedly and some of the women wept do something i somebody shouted he cant help himself we must help him what can we do the city firefighters cried an other but how could the city fire fighters help the young man they would hardly be able to run a lander up to that heigh and in any case there was noting to rest it against the swaying limb would support no more than the weight it already bore the predic ament of the youth became apparent to passing motorists some of whom sped on to the city for help for fully an hour the young man had there before the arrival of the city fire righters and when they came they were helpless they provided a net spread b the tree to catch the young man should either the limb or the belt break the bloodless face still showed white against the background of green miles had ceased to struggle whether he had lost consciousness or not i could not decide men and wo men had assembled from all directions and there were now hundreds gaslng up at the dangling figure only the great blue herons in the dead hem lock seemed unconcerned they con tinued to wrangle among themselves or to fry back and forth with their long clumsy legs trailing ant their necks drawn in many different suggestions for a res cue were made but all were so im practicable that they were soon reject ed the hundreds of people were powerless to help suddenly there was a cry fromlnany lips the logger jacques lapointel the logger jacques will do something the young man he was tall and ittbe and looked as if he were unusually strong his face was thin and deter mined thats him observed a man who was standing near me thats who i inquired looking from my informant to the young man the young callfornian the man replied hes one of those bird men what an aviator mo not was the impatient answer one of those fellows from the un iversity who make a study of the habits of birds and how theyre set up ydu mean hes an orthlnologist well whatever it is hes it the man replied hes out to take a photo graph of the herony and hes going to scale that big douglas fir over there to do it some fellow did the same thing last year and this young shaver is determined to repeat the trick and get a closeup picture a harebrained scheme i call it vty interest at once centered on the young ornithologist i noticed that he wore a closefitting suit of clothes and leather leggings he had a cam era strapped to his back and as i watched him he unstrapped it and in spected the viewfinder and film case when he had adjusted them to his sat isfaction he natrapped the camera to his back turning to a companion fronb u oeoboktown wltb a suitcase he said now for the leg irons the man addressed opened the suit case and taking out two sets of leg irons such as i have seen telephone linemen use for chmblng telephone poles strapped a pair round the legs of the tall youth good luck miles he said as he gripped the young mans hand above all things be careful on inquiry i found that the youths name was miles garfield and that frequenters of the park saw him often and always spoke of him as the young calif omlan trie young man had thrown aside his coat- be wore a leather waistcoat which with his tight fitting trousers and the leg ironsmade a good outfit for climbing round his waist was a stroni leather strap with two long ex tensions equipped with steel rings and snaps that i concluded were to be buckled round the tree to support him in bis climb he strode over to the douglas fir which was some sixty feet from the dead hemlock there were noumbs on it nearer than fifty feet from the ground above the first limbs others comparatively small for so large a tree jutted out at intervals to the very top which towered some fifty feet above the white home of the herons miles in tended to scale that tree perch him self on a limb nearly level with the top of the herony and take half a doaen pictures of the birds and their sur roundings the youth dug his irons into the aide or the great fir and began to climb he made good progress ujt the bare trunk it was plain that he knew bis business he sbon reached the first limb and from that point pulled him self ram limb to limb keeping close to the trunk and using his lag irons whenever the umb above was beyond his react at last when be had gain ed a height that i judged to be one- hundred and twentyfive feet he straddled a limb and began to move out from the trunk it was one of the longest limbs and extended far thei- tbaaany umb below it so that the thirty or forty spectatorstrho had m wimbled oould get an unbroken view of i turned to look at the man as he came striding forward he was a big frenchcanadian of perhaps forty thickset and strong his suntanned face suggested intelligence resource fulness courage and daring i after wards learned that jacques was one of the most famous loggers on the pacific coast when it was required to top a twohundredfoot douglas fir to make a spar tree jacques was the man to do the topping he would give the f touch that would send the top of the tree crashing to the ground while the oneundred and seventy feet or so of ihnhlesa spar would swing back and forth yards out of the upright with his flylike figure rihg to the top but even the darxing logger oould not i thought save the young ornith ologist the limb would not support his weight and the belt must first be detached from the limb before the boy could be rescued jacques however thought different ly he surveyed the tree for a few seconds as if planning his climb then he snatched up the remaining pair of eg trans from the case by the tree and with a deftness born of thorough familiarity strapped them quickly to his legs striding across to the fire mans outfit he grabbed the end of an inch rope and looked into the face of the fire chief sure jacques said the fire chief taker it and any other thing we have here that you need what can we do to help you look on jacques said ill get him those were the only words i beard him speak during the whole affair having coiled the long rope over his right shoulder and under his left arm be began to scale the tree which lie mounted much more rapidly than miles had mounted it dp the first fifty feet of limbless trunk he seem ed to go at a walking pace then he climbed raoldiy from limb to limb no one knew what he intended to do yet everyone expected that in some way he would rescue the helpless youth dang ling twenty feet out from the trunk and a hundred and twentyfive feet from the ground five hundred pairs of eyes followed the logger and apart from the bedlam of the great blue herons all was silent a slight cheer arose as the logger reached the limb m which the young man was hanging- most of us felt that in spite of certain calamity that would attend the log gers stepping on that limb he would somehow get to the end of 11 how ise could he effect a rescue but no he did not go out on the he stopped only long enough to observe the exact way fn which the youth was held then be went higher and still higher passing one limb after another until he reached a branch twenty feet above the one on which the young ornithologist was suspended with quick movements the logger worked his way out to the end it bent beneath his weight but he seem ed at home he made no attempt to strap himself to his lofty perch but gripped it with his legs he was five feet farther back than the man he was trying to save i could see him at work uncoiling his rope be made a noose and slack ed out the rope until hahad it al most doubled his problem seemed to be to get the noose over the end of the umb on which miles was hanging ho matte several throws before he suc- omtted as he worked the noose along tnvurnb until t encircled both man and ltanb the watchers could not under- what he intended to do he draw the noose tight and had both man and umb secure in it with one end of the rope in his hand he retraced his way along the ihnb on which he sat n the trunk of uataw manipulated the rope since the end of the rope was around the tree trunk and the trunk for several feet was free of limbs the rope coukrslip gradually down the tree with the limb at last the umb hung within a foot of the trunk to the surprise of the onlookers the youth stretched forth hi hand arid grasped the tree in a moment jacques was wittun reach of hiin the cheer that rang out from those below was so hearty that it dis turbed even the great blue herons the logger succeeded in freeing the youth from the umb and soon had kim safe among the branches of the tree so shaken was the young ornithologist by bis terrible experience that it was more than ten minutes before he dared was never many feet away from him until he reached the ground many hands stretched toward him as he landed and a round or applause rang out for the big french canadian wheres the camera the young man demanded it was of course badly sxnashed but the film case was secure when the fums were developed the young ornithologist found to his delight that he had got five beautiful pictures of the great blue herons flush and world will greet you i broke and

practical value of the census early history of haxton county by mrs falchion the following was taken from the oakviue record of april 23rd and may be read with interest by some of our readers haiton county received its name from major wullam haiton who was secretary to francis gore lieuten ant governor of upper canada and afterwards agent of the province in oreat britain it at one time includ ed the territory now within welling ton and wentworth and was constitu ted a county in 1816 after the pur chase of indian rignts the community centres were george town acton milton norvaj and ldmehouse norval was founded by james mcnab in 1820 and was called mcnabsvuie untu 1840 when the post office was established lunehouse was founded in 1840 and was known as fountain green untu 1851 it is al most certain that the founders of that little village had their own far off country in mind and lovely merh- ortes of the old village green which prompted the name it seems a pity that it should have been changed first settlers hi esqnesing esqueslng township which name has caused considerable wonderment is of indian origin one authority giv es as the meaning that which lies at the end and another the land of tali pines james hume and ron ald macdonaid are said to have been the first settlers the first town meeting was held in 1821 when the population was four hundred and twentyfour the meeting wsu held at the home of joseph atandish on new years day in those early days thegsmahip was governed by the justices of the session and afterwards by district council the town meet ings were held as soon as a tavern was established at thomas thomp sons which until 1840 was the only tavern between posts comers and guelph the business consisted chief ly of defining the proportions of a lawful fence which reminds me of a cow belonging to the late peter mo- arthur whom he called fence viewer she was concerned not whether the fence line was straight but with the problem of how to get through or over the fence when hampered with a poke or collar what animals should be allowed to run at large the appointing of path masters and the registration of cattle marks after the more seri ous business of the day was disposed of the custom was to spend a convival time over the uquor of the host company military drill another great day was the train ing day on the fourth of june when every male above the age of 18 was required to present himself for drill sometimes the day ended in a carous al or frequently one or more lights especially after the rebellion when the population was divided into two dis tinct parties as antagonistic to one another as could be well imagined the oldest vulage in the township was 8tewarstown esqueslng p o the first postmaster was henry fyfe who received the appointment in 1840 with the advent of the railway georgetown became more important first haiton clergyman the first settled clergyman was the reverend peter ferguson a presby terian who came to the boston settle ment scotch block in 1832 one authority states that the old boston church may be considered the cradle of canadian liberty at a time when england was in the grip of re-svctlon- ary forces developed duringthe nap- oleanlc wars when the family com pact ruled in canada as barons of the old world ruled in the middle asfes when even in the young republic to the abubh something of the old spirit of aristocracy stul survived the most advanced principles of the democracy of today were written into the deed oi gift conveying the site of the church this was granted by john stewaxj the father of the scotch block and was made in favor of the united preshyteffan church formerly the missionary synod ot canada in connection with the united secession church of scotlandj the three first trustees under the deed of gift were wullam mvihla james hume and peter mcphcrson these were to hold office only for a specified time and on the expiration of that period the congregation should be free to reelect the retiring officials to choose others in thei steadr but such should be members wralcti meant those who had been admitted to the lords table and were on the conununion rolls of the church the deed also provided that any trustee could be disposed at a meeting called for the purpose and the majority vot ing yea the grant from john stew art stated specifically that the con gregation might go so far as to change the form of worship in the church on aj twothirds majority calling for such a change it seems as though in that deed given so long ago that the principle of government by the people for the people entered into the hearts and minds of the whole com munity continued on pate 4 the object of ail science and re search is to obtain light and know ledge concerning life and the world about us only by obtaining more knowledge and light can progress be made science has opened up one field after another unlocked the hid den mysteries of chemistry biology physics mlnerology and so forth and in consequence has immensely im proved the material conditions of mans life on itfgrearth the study of economics has greatly facilitated him in conducting the business of life by discovering the laws or underlying tendencies of international trade business cycles monetary media and so forth without ail this fund of knowledge we should be groping our way blindly in fogs of lgomace and we should be very much less advanc ed in material progress there can be no doubt at all of the ultimate con nection between our present material progress and the strides made by science and research the way of still greater progress lies along the same lines among the sciences closely allied to economics that of statistics has been of signal help to the business man as weu as to others the statistician by collecting the numerical facts about some phase of business activity and putting these facts in proper relation to other facts has thrown a clear light on business processes which has been an invaluable guide to action in fact it is inconceivable how the complex business of today oould be carried on nearly as efficiently without abundant statistical information statisltcs have helped in no small measure to make many phases of business as efficient as they are today anda accurate stati stics are absolutely essential in order that they may remain efficient and become more efficient it is well known that we are stul far from perfection in our business activities some phases of it have ad vanced further than others produc tion has become extraordinarily effici ent transportation abundant and swift and capital as a rule plentiful the distribution of goods from pro ducer to consumer however has lagg ed in progress it is generally conced ed that our system of distributing goods is not nearly as efficient as our production this is a fact of great importance for the general welfare for distribution is one of the chief of econ omic activities through lack of ade quate information we do not know just how great its importance is we cannot say how our merchandising and service establishments compare with our production establishments as to number employed wages paid capital invested value of sales and so forth this the one great field of economic activity concerning which there is a lamentable statistical ignorance because of the urgent need of more light on our rnerchanthslng and ser vice activities that is those of dis tributing goods and services there has arisen a demand mr a comprehensive census of these activities on the part of business men all over the domin ion it is in response to this demand that such a census will be taken along with the population census this sum mer it is widely believed that the obtaining of a comprehensive picture of distributing activities will be of immense value in helping to solve some of the urgent problems which are increasingly confronting business men in this connection in the census of merchandising and service establishments the domin ion bureau of statistics will couect from every wholesale retail and ser vice establishment in the dominion data concerning employees wages sales expenses other than cost of goods type of store capital invest ment and inventories these data wul be collected with complete regard to secrecy as to indlvdual returns figures supplied by individual firms cannot under law be made known to any person or body edthef public or private they wul be used only for the compi lation ot statistics and no statistics can be

in medals and prises but best of ali in the developrnent of knowledge the power of thought and discrimination and in wlsdotxi uni versities are now turning out their students many of them not to return but to grasp the opportunities of life and play their part rn their best and noblest mapner for the rest of their lives around graduation at a school or college are clustered memories and thoughts of the future the dreams and the visions ot life it is well that so many of the young people have vision and the- hope that peers through the years to success in chara cter building if not

people who envision and meditate who largely rule the world they are pio neers who prepare the way for he great army of human beings just as the great bulk of people today profit by the scientific inventions of the past chough they knew not a detail in the lives of the inventors the graduate of the college or university is likely to preserve the great ideal which domina ted his or her life so
