Everybody Lives if Canvas Tents and to Every External Appear- ance the Camp is in a State of Mutiny, but Really the Men Are Intensely and Whole-heartedly Loyal. Yogi lg NDER the above title, one ot the regular contributors te London "Truth" blithely describes one of the train- ing camps for Canadian bat- falions in England: It has just been my good fortune, says he, tg spend some pleasant days in the heart of Canada. Canada is quite a big place--there must be something like twenty miles of it-- and it is agreeably situated i= well, in a part of England the where- abouts whereof everybody knows and which accordingly we are forbidden to localize more closely than '"'some- where in England." I am sure 1 don't know why, Capada lives entirely in tents. You can go nowhere, on downs or in val- leys, on hill-tops or in dingles, with- out coming upon those Canadian can- vas homes. Canada is entirely mas- culine--mostly vefy young mascu- line; it dresses entirely in one uni- form costume of dust-color, and it is clamantly. cheerful. . It grouses, of course--grouses coptinualy -- and thereby claims its share of the Im- perial heritage. There was a young man whose immediate purpose in life is to clean out water-carts--so care- fully specialized is life in Canada. He cleans out water-carts from day's end ..| to day's end--and all the time he is infinitely better capable--I know, for he told me 80 himself--of commanpd- ing a battalion. He is mpeh more capable of commanding his own par- ticular battalion than is the present colonel. He told me that, too, and so is 'every other individual private of his acquaintance. Meanwhile, _he cleans his water-carts éxcellently well, waiting until wbat time Provi- dence ghall send him a culoreley. If you were a German spy, of the kind that used to send back reports of the state of England in ante-bel- lum days, you would certainly report to the All-High that Canada was in a state-of open mutiny. If you sat in the bar of any public-house that was in bounds at the appropriate moment, you would hear Canada rage furjous- ly against the local shopkeepers and their pleasant little habit. of extor- tion. You would hear, for instance, more often than not that Canada has been charged 2s. 6d. for a plate of eggs and bacon, and does not like it at all. You would hear again that the habit of saluting commissioned officers is carried to absurd lengths in this durned old-fashioned country. You would hear that the municipality of, shall I say Helicarnassus? de- serves to be shot for insulting Can- ada by reserying ifs bathing-beaches for civilians at certain times of the day. You might get together a whole dossier of such complaints and re- port to the War Lord that Canada may be confidently expected to break into open mutiny the first time it sets eyes or féet on the trenches, But you would-be wiser thereafter to keep quite a number of miles away from th same trenches--what time yo Canada gets busy. Perhaps I am inexact, as the offi- cial bulletins have it; to insist too much upon the youth of Canada. Quite a large pefeantage of the pop- ulation wears the South African war ribbon---and you cannot be over and above young if you wear that. Also, Canada has the shoulde! and the ful, de That is food ' "COOKED WITH GAS." 'Phone 197, or drop & card to the Office of the Works, Queen St., and have the GAS installed in your home.

They Will Have to Change : Method of Brush Burning. it is only a matter of a few years at most until every Canadian pro- vince Compels its settlers to knuckle | down to the law of fair-play in the matter of slgsh and brush burning. With the continued impreyement jn railway precdutions against forest fires, the question of dealing with the settlers tucomes more and more urgent. Regulations covering fire prevention as imposed by the Rail- way Board upon the steam roads have relieved them of mueh of thelr old reputation as the chief cause of forest destruction. In Ontario it is an unquestioned fact that of the scores of this year's fires, large and small, between Pembroke and North Bay, more than eighty per cent. haye been due to settlers. The railways have been a relatively. unimportant factor in Ontario's losses thus far io 1915. It is understood that Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, Minister of Lands, Forests, and Mines, is giving the question of control of settlers' fires earnest consideration with a view to devising some means of bringing the evil under control. Ontarie now has ne permit system and is paying for the absence of it in very large annual sacrifices of timber. ; The tendency of all our Provincial Governments . is undoubtedly in the direction of settlers' permit - system. British Columbia manages to enforce fairly stringent regulations govern- ing the burning of brush and without much offence to the farming population; it is evem said that the administration as the only fair me- thod of overcoming a danger the con- sequences of which théy share in common with the lumbermen. Que- bec is making an earnest effort to get abreast of the necessity for province- wide control of slash and brush fir- ng. are becoming mote frequent, and magistrates are increasing the sever- ity of punishment. It may be that a larger staff will be required to effect- ually control the settlers from setting out fires during the danger seasons, but at least the department has shown determination in the matter and will gradually overcome the handieaps. ; New Brunswick bas taken steps which may meap a province-wide control of settlers' fires. On July 19, a special regulation of the Depart- ment of Lande and Mines was put into force by Hon. Gegrge J. Clarke, blapketing the settlements of Hagen and Grimmer, in the County of Res- tigouche and lands adjacent thereto. clearing lands can be burned," reads the regulation, "a permit in writing must first be obtained from the ¢are- taker of said setMements and due notice must be. served on the adjacent land owner or occupier . :.- under a penalty of not less than twenty dollars apd not' more than twe hua- dred dollars. Settlers are notified that this regulation will be strictly issued as occurred this § in Hagen and Grimmer districts, due to the unregu- lated burning of settlers' slashings. Since three provinces, British Colum- bia, Quebec, and New Brunswick, have how recoghized the necessity of settlers' permits, it would seem only logical that Ountario, with a splendid forest possession, still Intact, should take hold of the question and decide upon a permanent and = practical policy.--Canadian Forestry Journal. He Contradicts Nansen. Much stained with smoke and seal oil, a letter has come to Prof. W. H.

This is the figure handed 'out to- day by the City Treasurer's Depart- | ment, which receives the official | notification 0° death from the Militia | Department at Ottawa. Toroato has paid insyrance claims | on 176 dead Toronto soldiers, There are thirty more claims which have | not yet been paid, a total of 206. | The city will, therefore, have paid | out very soon $206,000 in ipsprance. In insurance premiums to the var | fous companies the city has paid out to date $313,475.17. | Some odd cases have had to be] settled by the Civic Board of [nsur- ance Adjustment, which consists of | City Solicitor Johnston, City Clerk Littlejohn, and Property Commlis- | sioner Chisholm. .Que policy was | claimed, by three women---the moth- | er, the fiancee, and the alleged wife | of the dead soldier, who, by the way, had his 18-year-old son fighting side by side with him at the front when | he fell. The man bad thought his | wife dead, not having seen or heard from her in eight years, but she came to life in Niagara Falls, and | contested the claim of the mother and fiancee. The three ciyic chiefs bad a lot of worry over that claim. | They did considerable inyestigating. They found that the supposed wife slash | bad a twin sister who looked exactly like her. They feared that possibly | the wife was dead and the claim was | made by "the sister. Finally, | they decided to leave the money to | the boy, but it went to the fiancee eventually. She, it seems, in some | way influenced the young soldier to | sign his claim over to her, and she | got the $1,000. Expert Renders Favorable Report on | Keewatin Territory. Mr. Percy Hopkins, the geolbgical expert sent by the Ontario Depart- ment of Mines to Kowkash to make | 8 prelimidary examination of the re- | cent gold discovery in that area, has | reported to Mr. T. W. Gibson, Deputy | Minister. He states that Mr. E. W, | King Dodds made his spectacular | gold discovery on August 21 by walk- | ing over the rocky hill below Howard | Falls, which had been burned clean | of moss and trees on the previous | day. The news of the very specta- | cular ore caused a rush of about 400 | prospectors to the neighborhood, and | about 75 to 100 claims were staked | within three weeks. | "In the Kowkash ares," the report | 83ys, "is a belt of Keewatin rocks 10 | to 15 miles wide, and extending from | the north end of O'Sullivan (or Sese- | kenaga) Lake in a southwest direc- tion through Howard ' Falls and DISTRICT RICH IN METALS. across thé height of land at Red- mond. This whole Keewatin area is worth prospecting for gold.

Numerous small glassy | quartz veins, some of which are min- eralized with pyrite, occur over the whole area, the Dodds vein contain- ing a very spectacular gold showing, | This would suggest, says the depart- ment's represénjatiye, the adyisabil- | ity of a thorough prospecting of the | Keewatin area.
