W H. rinii t,.n- Editor Dundalk OUR FORESTS AND FIRES The immensely costly tires that raged in Ontario during laat week touched closely etery citizen of this province. It is not alone the actual owners of these timber limita that suffer, hut the people as a whole. Every man who uses lumber --and who is there that doe* not/ is in- terested in this matter, for our forest wealth is being fist depleted and the price of forest products has been mount- ing steadly upward for years. The thou- sands of acres of timber lands recently destroyed ooly tuaten the day when our lumbering interest* will be a thing of the put and we will be obliged to use costly substitutes or import at big prices. A couple of yean uro the Department of Forests and Mines announced that a new and more bunioeas-like dyetem of ranging waa under formation. Perhapi the organisation of the new system re- quired longer to complete than was an . tieipated. A radical change such as wsi required cannot be made in a day or a year. Il it a thing that must grow. But there are some thing* that could, and should, be remedied forthwith without waiting for the complete organization. One of these things ia the passing of a stringent Uw regarding the starting of fires daring July and August. Another U forcing the lumber companies to pile their brush and not leave it promiscuously scatter**! orer the forest floor, an invita- tion to any stray match that may be dropped or tinder for the lightning bolt. The firea are caused in many ways, bat the railway! ate blamed (we believe Unjustly; for most of them. None of the large forest fires in Parry Sound District, which we saw and describe m our ne*s columns, were started by the r Tailwayn. The worst one started eight or ten milee from 'he railway. Another was started by a settler burning rubbinh in lii yard. St ill another started from mumps that a settier waa burning. The eparkl communicated with hii barn, which was reduced to ashes, and the nparks from this communicated nith the forest near by. On one occasion the writer came upon a fire burning in s rocky depression up in that wild country, where it was reuonahly certain no man bad been, and as reasonably certain that a bolt -A lightning waa the culprit. Wo conscientiously believe that lightning ii responsible for more 6res thin it is itiven credit fur. Of course no Uw can de' with such cases, biit as a rule the ranger can ; but thr law can deal with the nun who sets stumpt or rubbish on tire in the dry season. And these things can be attended to without waiting for the formation of any elaborate (>tnd necessary) fire ringing system. Some- thing must be done to protect our forests better than they have been protected, or shortly we will have Do forests worth talking about to protect. While working >U the harvest Mr. John Batchelor, of Brice Hill, hvi hit hand badly torn in a binder on Thursday list. He was finishing up cutting a field of oats and pushing in some straw with his hand to make up the last sheaf. The hand w8 caught by the needle, which penetrated right through back of the in- del filler and tore ihe flesh and cords right out between that finger and the thumb. It is a very nasty wound, but when he was in town Monday it watt improving nicely. One day last week James Wellwood, the implement agent, wai splicing ropes for barn forks. He used a hickory skewer, about three-quarters of an inch thick and MI inches long, pointed sharp- ly at the end, to make the splice. While pressing very hard ths akewer slipped and was forced up into his nose. The point protruded through the side of the nose not far from tha eye. Mr. H. 0. Moody was badly hart in a runaway accident on Main steet on Fri- day evening last. With two children and Mm. Gardiner she was driving about town when one of the shafts of the buggy became loose and fell. The hone took fright and Mrs. Moody was thrown to the hard road, receiving several severe cuts about ths head. Mrs. Gardiner, with great presence of mind, held the two children in the bottom of the buggy until the horse was stopped, near the elevator*. The locking of one of the wheel* by ths loose shaft prevented a more serious accident.
