The two-day squirrel season found many hunters in the field, fair success being reported. "Moose must be getting real scien- tific:' opines Byron W. Smith, Ontario Department of Lands and Forests Chief Ranger. and bases his theory on an occurrence at his Station at Sand Lake. Ontario, on the night of the first fail of snow which cad v - vrod the ground to a depth of 'our inches First indication of a nocturnal vis- itor was observed when Byron went out in the early morning to read the v.-nather instruments and saw moose lcs by the rain gauge in the front yard. Further Investigation revealed that the tracks led from the Algoma ntral IZaiiway right-of-way along •ehieh the moose had been trav,'lling a north,-rly direction, to the yard the chief Ranger Station. There, the anira,11 apparently stopped nt tbe galic. and coml.:nu:4d across th e platform to the instrument box 1...thieh contains' the hydrometer for measur- ing humidity, a barometer and a ther- mometer. Prom this point the tracks led back to the Algoma Central right- of-way and continued on north. Chief Ranger Smith solemnly sug- gests that "when a moose starts worrying about weather at this time of the year, to the extent of checking up on it from the weather instru- ments, watch out for a long, cold, hard winter with deep snow, It's a sure sign." Ontario's "University' of the Forest," the Ranger School near Dorset, will begin its first term of 1902 on January 7, according to the prospectus just is- sued by the Ontario Department of Lands and. Forests. Forest rangers will attend from January 7 to March 22;,oguides front April 7 to April 12; Faculty of Forestry Undergraduates, April 20 to May 10; forest rangers, second term, May 19 to August 2; Teachers' Conservation course, Aug- ust 4 to August 16; School of Practical Science Engineers and Architects, September 1 to October 4 and forest rangers, third term, October 6 to December 20. The British Empire For- estry Conference to be held at Dorset next year will attend the school from August 21 to August 29. Primary purpose of the school is to train personnel for the Ontario De- partment of Lands and Forests and the forest industries of the Province, and to co-operate with the University of Toronto in providing field exper- ience for the students of the of Forestry. In addition, the school has placed its facilities at the use of other allied organizations at "anus that did not conflict with the regular work of the school." Courses of study for personnel of the Lands and Forests industry, "are open to male employee of good char- acter, at least twenty years of age, who are physically fit and who have had an eighth grade or equivalent education." Candidates who have not this grade of education may, however pass a preliminary examination and be admitted for a trial period. During the, first two terms the work is designed to provide training in all those operations and activities that are essential to men working in the field service of the Department and forest industries," the prospectus declares. "The first term provides basic training only and is a proba- tionary period." The training periods are approxi- mately three-quarters occupied with field work, with one-quarter devoted to class-room work and lectures. Field work is carried out on the University Forest which includes areas of white pine, hemlock and . hardwood types with a representative stocking of game and fur bearing animals and with fish producing waters. It is well suited to training in all phases of field work carried on by the Depart- ment of Lands and Forests and forest industries under conditions similar to those found in actual practice else- where in the Province. MOTHER SAVDS TWO CHILDREN An Egmondville woman early Fri- day morning dashed through a outs- ing kitchen to save her two small children. Mrs. William Reid was credited by firemen with saving the lives of her youngsters, aged one and three years, after the baby's coughing woke her. Mrs. Reid heard the baby about 6 a. m, and got up to go to the tot's room. As she entered the kitchen on the Way to the bedroom she was fac- edron\l,vith flames racing through the o 'The mother dashed through the blazing kitchen, seized the coughing one-year-old and then snatched up her older child. She raced from the house with them and took them across the road to protection in the home of Michael McGrath.
