Ontario's mainland pheasant shoot-
tag, apart from the famtr Pelee Is-
Itind shoot. was better than average
according to reports of the Ontario
department of Lands anti C'orests.
While some hunters in the Toronto
area reported the shooting only fair.
:ethers, around Hespeler and A;k:Imer
particularly, declared "it was as good
as Pelee Island." The Island itself,
which had a three-day season, saw

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.
McGrath summoned the Seaforth
Fire Department which raced to the
scene and saved most of the 'souse.
The back kitchen and shed were
destroyed, Water damage ',vas suffer-
ed in other rooms,
Mrs, Reid required medical treat-
ment for shock suffered in her dash
for safety, Her husband was away
at the time of the fire,
