A CROSS ON THE FEZ of A TURK, IN SALONIKA.
A London Times correspondent, writing of the occupation of Salon-

garian soldiers in that place. Des cribing the molestation of Turks by
Greeks, he wrote: "Greek officers were eye -witnesses of these inci-
dents and raised not a hand to curb the zeal of their men. On three
occasions only did I see Bulgarian soldiers molest a Turk, and it may
have been and doubtless was a coincidence, but in every ease a pass-

They Will Have Better Facilities in
. Future.
During the coming winter the
officers rn charge of the Brazeau
and Athabaska divisions of the
Rocky Mountains forest reserve
propose to make "administrative
sits" surveys at different points on
the reserves. Upon these sites it is
proposed to erect rangier and look-
out stations which will be no farther
apart than one day's trip by pack -
train, along the primary trail sys-
tem of the Brazeau reserve. It is
the intention to erect, this winter,
at least three or four log cabins for
the rangers. A telephone system is
also being .planned whereby these
ranger stations will be connected by
telephone to the forest supervisor's
office. This office is centrally lo-
cated and telephone lines will run
