Mr. Hines was a J man of forty years of age and leaves a wife and seven children. ; Mr. Robinson. the Hanover man-t ager of the Singer Sewing Machine 1. branch. discovered the body.

Tho. clothes on the body had been caught in some driftwood. which prevented it from being: swept furâ€"l thor down tho river. The body.‘ which was under oold water for the: past. throe' weeks. was in a fairly: good state of preservation.

Kirk, though not a large place, is at the “end of steel" on the Southern Pacific Railway four hundred and seventy-seven miles almost straight north of San Francisco, and it is altogether likely that it is on'the construction of this link of-railway that Mr. Hastie is employed. The town is situated on a branch line that cuts elf from the main line from Davis to Portland at a place called Weed. Kirk is approximately one hundreib anrl twenty-five miles up this branch. Coming down the other way from Portland, at Woodb'urn, thirty-fiveI miles'out from the, Oregon city, an-. other branch runs down to Oak? Ridge. The work is. then, to link up ,Kirk and Oak Ridge, thus com- pleting the branch line Weed to Woodburn and on to Portland. Mr. Hastie has not given us any infor- mation, however, on the matter, and the best we can do in the absence of information is surmise. From Kirk to Oak Ridge would be, we suppose, about one hundred miles as the crow flies. Mr. Hastie is now in an interesting country, being just a short distance north of the California line, and in comparatively close proximit ' to the world-renowned Mount S asta, as .well as Crater Lake National Park: 1.0.0.1'. LODGE VISITED AT MT. FOREST COUNTY WILL SPEND $140,000 0N ROADS County Roads Committee Decide on Policy for Year.â€"-Will Work Only As Long as Money Lasts. During the coming year nearly $140,000 will be spent on County and Countyâ€"Provincial ~ Roads in thel 1 County of Grey. This amount is $38,000 less than last year, and will necessitate the curtailing of the work, although construction will go‘ ahead in the four construction .sections in the county where the Iwork was going on last year. The lmethods and plans in use last year will simply be continued, although, with a smaller amount of money at the disposal of the various gangs, a smaller amount of work will be ‘accomgplished. n- . n,__l_ IV-..__.:I uvvvlil,‘ nnnnnnnnnn Grey Cpunty Good Roads Commit- tee, met 111 Owen Sound on W cdnes- day of_ last weqk.‘ ‘ln‘ tpLe afternoo -1'02..- nl‘ UU‘J VA .“uv 'v ‘â€"__ a session was held at the office of County Engineer McKnight, which was attended by the five members of the committee, and by the County Engineer. as well as County Road Superintendent John Johnson.

J w :â€" There is $139,000 to be Spent, but' " not nearly all of this will go for t- constrnction work. There are bridges to be built, and a consider- able amount will have to go to- I ward maintenance of roads already built. The committee has allowed $15,000 for construction on each of the Pricmillc -Durham, Hamn'er- Durham. and Keppel Township 1 {County Roads, while $20,000 will be Spent on the Countyâ€"Provincial Road in Collingwood Township. The greater amount is being spent on this last road in an effort to com-â€" plete it to the County line. On this road. the Province pays 60 per cent iot‘ the cost, while on the other three roads new under construction the Province pays but. 40 per cent. Lin the County Provincial Road the work will go ahead, east. of Thorn-' bury. There is still about. four miles of road work to be done in Grey County and County Road Superintendent Johnston is hopeful that this will be completed this ' season. ' ()n the. Road between Priceyille . and Durham, conStriict.ion was ’ started at Priceville. About four' 1 miles of road have now been con- ’ structod. and there are six to go before the road is completed to Darâ€" 3 ham. Just at present the work will ' be rather slow, as construction has ‘ reached the point known as “The t Glen." This is the famous spot in the road over which the, council A___-A *0 Lll‘.‘ luau V‘UL Covn- v has spent many weary hours in debate. The decision finally was. that. the road should be pushed straight through the hills. instead of deviating around by the glen route. Already one of the smaller hills has been cut down, but there will be a greater amount of work in cutting through some of the larger mounds. While a lot of work will be done here this year, it. is not expected that a great amount of road measured in miles will be Up to last season about three! miles of the road from Hanover to? Durham had been built. This was started at Hanover, and should progress well this year. There are eight miles of road to be built yet before the road is completed between Hanover and Durham. In Keppel. the road has been built from the end of the suburban area‘s limit to Kemble, although there is a stretch of about a. mile near Kemhle which is not yet com- pleted. This road is to be continued on around to Wiarton.‘ 7A 1-,-..

Five thousand forest industries live in that great northern empire and probably three and a half millions of Canadian population are depend- ent for all or a substantial part of their income upon what the foresx. areas produce. It is equally true that the riddance of the forests :would rid the country of a large ‘part of its inhabitants. Sir Clifford Sifton, writing to the Canadian For- estry Association, said recently :â€" “If the plague of forest fires is alâ€" lowed to continue the exodus of our population from our timber growing areas cannot very well be prevented; and it is only a question of a rela- tively few years until we force from our northern areas the great body $2.00 a Year in Canada; $2.50 in U. 3. requires to be well dried out. Also much of the labor used in con- structing the roads comes from the nearby farms, and in the spring of the year the farmers were too busy putting in crops and doing other farm work to commence working on the roads. . Just what mileage will be con- structed during the coming year is not known. The difficulties which will he met. in building a road through some of the hills. are, as yet, not known, and for this reason an estimate is diffieult.~ Chairman \.,U|.l|lnuvv .w w--- ‘W. L. Taylor, Of the Good Roads Committee thought that possibly 16 miles would be built during the coming year. This is about the same amount as was constructed in the summer of 1923. The four' outfits will not run all season. but will work just as long as the money apgropriated to‘each lasts. ---- I'On‘l yn;4' “FIJI \'tll vayu \v ‘3‘.--â€" __. _ _ ‘xrey County has a very well laid out system of County Highways much better than in many of the Counties of the province. In some counties no dotinite system was laid out in the beginning, and as a result. the money was just divided up among the municipalities to build a stretch hero. and a stretch there. The province is new threat- ening to cut off their grant, because .there is no system about. their highways. and they are getting no- where.
