After looking at all other makes of cars and giving them a real} good test, Jimmy says it is hard to beat the Chevrolet. Mr Payne of Eagle River and Mr Bicknell of Dryden, have also! purchased autos from Durance Bros. this: week, while the car-| load they have just unloaded is! already practically disposed of. The easy control, gentle motion and 'unfailing power .of this car answers every requirement of the driver, and creates the deep assur- 'that the New Superior! evrolet is the priced complete automobile. Mrs Adams of Oxdrift was in. Dry- den at the beginning of the week. ite & Shoes|: ; [trying out the engine when the front Ld { "It's never too late to | : fend" the rest of the country, was called upon to contribute to the help of a community which had been rendered homeless and nearly destitute by fire. While the memory of the Haileybury disaster is still fresh with us, we are moved to consider how nearly . we our- selved have been to similar misfortune within the last few weeks. Within that time we have heard many stories from every direc- | tion ground Dryden of the terribly destructive effects of uncon- trolled fires. All around us we could see clouds of smoke and sometimes the red glow of the fire demon, and . almost the main topic of conversation has been the. possibility of damage to town or district from forest fires. Wherein lies the cause of such loss and destruction? Can noth- ing be done to prevent the terrible waste. Someone must start careless individuals who are responsible for letting them run. In conversation with practical woodsmen and settlers we have sought a possible solution of the difficuly, and there is practical agreement that blame rests with the system of granting permits. . While no "spectacular disaster has occurred here to arouse popular sympathy there have been very many cases of individual loss and hardship: and the loss of one's home is hardly less disastrous although simi- lar misfortune has not overtaken one's neighbours. = All over this country wood lots have been destroyed, cordwood piles and hay- stacks burned, barns and out-buildings have disappeared and even homes have been swallowed up.in the flames. Settlers have lived in a constant state of anxiety and dread: 'threatened their lives and property day and night. A young wo- man who not long ago came as a bride to this country, was un- avoidably left alone with her three-weeks old: baby, while. her husband went to the store some miles away for food. Nearing midnight the flames approached so closely that in terror she was obliged to flee for safety, till she fell exhausted into the arms of hér husband. Such is the tragedy of life of the lonely settler in the unpeopled timber fards of New Ontario. ~~ Those who live in the woods protest that in many cases pei- nits are too easily secured by, selfish people who are too indiffér- ent to the rights of others to take any precautions when they start a fire, and who desire a' permit to enable-them to escape respon- sibility by throwing the onus on the fire-ranger. A has so extensive a territory to cover that it is impossible for him to be present at every fire to see that his instructions are carried out. 35 Tt is suggested that petits be discontinued, and ing a fire be held absolutely responsible far any damage done to person. or property beyond his own line.. This means reverting to the old system by which everybody did their own fire-ranging. mit system is a complete condemnation of that system. Bins 0 any- one got an idea by which forest fires can be put an end to? ® kok kok the parched earth can be heard.
