BUSH FIRE MENACE
IN AI.L.OMA AREAS
One Near So0 and Ten Re-
ported From Blind River
Section.
A despatch from Salta Ste. Marie,
Ont., says: -Unless assistance in the
form of rain comes to the aid of the,
fire fighters soon, a serions condition
will undoubtedly develop' in the dis-
trict. The only fire. close to the Sault
is one at Gro-scap.
Some. ten Ares are reported from
the -Blind River. section and about 100
mon ,are emp,Myed fighting their'.
- Some of the 'fires are serious one.
The only thing that will onmletely
quench them after the dry weather
of the past .three weeks, is a good
shower.
On the American side of the line
the bush fire near Kinross, 18 miles
south of Sault, Mich., has burned
over 2,000 acres of land in the peat
twelve dayS. It took a new start only
forty rods from the ViMage of Kin -

Thnber Deficiency

• A despatoh front London Says: -
Before the British Association at
Southampton, Alexander Howard, of
' the botany -section, read a paper stat-
ing that, unless a system of referee.:

weuld face a serious timber deficiency.
He especially advocated encourage-

Natural Resources Bulletin.
The NaturalAeseurces Intelligence
Service of the Dept.. of the Interior
at Ottawa says:
.Canada has man' admirers outside
of h,er borders, largely due to the effi-
elent work of her :energetic trade. com-
missioners. They are putting Canada
in the, forefront as a •"commercial
World Power. Even in, far-off Straits
Settlements, A. B. Muddhnan is work-
ing in the interests of Canada, and no
doubt as the result ef his efforts the
Singapore Free Peess has the follow-
ing to say of this country: -
"At present . Canada's industrial
future has , hardly ' begun. Great
towns do exist and, some big indfis-
tries, but for the present and for
many years to come her energies will
be absorbed by the conquest of the
land and the bringing of it into culti-
vation. Looking at the spirit of her
people and the past history pf the
United States, there can be no hesi-
tation in recognizing in Canada one
of the greatest world powers of the
future, an achievement in coloniza-
tion of which the British people can
be immeasurably proud." „
G. G. Van der Xop, -editor of the
."Interocean," the only magazine pub-
lished in the "Middle East," and who
once visited this country, has had
many times a good word to say for
Canada.
Caneda-is a land of vast grain
growing areas and a wide diversity
of other vegetable resources. Canada
14 rich in minerals, her animal indus-
tries are a leading source of national
Wealth, her forests products pravide
a 4arge surplus for export, while the
greater portion of the product of her
factortes find a market *outside Can-
ada.. The qual1t3t of her products is
interesting world consumers, and it is
but natural that the thoughts of these
foreign consumers should turn to a
country that is capable of Such pro-
duction.
Do we as Canadians fully appreci-
ate what' we and are we doing
ourpart in metring them known?

Traffic in Narcotics
Greatest Past Year
A despatch from- Geneva says: --
Traffic in opium and °thee 'narcotics
throughout'the world during the past
year was the greatest since the
League of Natioos Opium Advisory
Commission was organized, Sir John
Campbell, of India, declared' at the
Commission's session here. Seizures
have increased enonnotsly, he said.
Manufacturers of narcotics and an
illicit,distribution syndicate are well
Organized, 'With' vast -resources, he
charged. 'Sir John said production
cottld•not be controlled because it was
impossible to depend upon the honesty
of some Governments. '
League , statistics -show that ap-
proximate: y 4,000 chests of opium
were shipped to the Orient during the
past year,, although conditions in
Europe and North America are im-
proving somewhat. It is impossible
for the condition of China to be worse,

Mr. and Mrs. Dan J. Le Roui, of Kimberley, South Africa, who were in
Toronto recently, hope to make the record. of being the first people who -have
ever hiked.around the globe on foot. ,They -started. from Johannesburg, South
Africa, on..Tanumi, 31, 1922, and have since walked through Portuguese North
Africa and the Native Territories to Egypt. They ha-ve Oleo hiked across
Italy, Switzerland-, France, Belgium, Holland, England_and part (:)• Canada,
-To date they'have walked 8,414 miles, and sailed '1,100 -ranee Bad weather,
Which they 'encountered, eas resulted in their now being eight months behind
time on their schedule, which contemplated girdling the glohe in five years,
Despite' the fact that he pushes a wheelbarrow containing 2,00 pounds of
impedimenta all along the route, 1VIi. Le Roux covers about 16 miles a day.
This.vateran athlete, who is 49 years of age ,and fought ,on the Boer side'
-during the South African war, is gathering material -for a book and lectures

Something ,Going On.
There is a febrile temperament, not
•unfamiliar in domestic life and the
social circle, which demands that
there shall always be something going
on. There is no rest or peace with
such a spirit. If the talk slackens
or seems to approach a lull, the res-
tive one feels that it must be replen-
ished as fuel is thrown t,o a wood fire
on a whiter night. If a guest is en-
tertained, it is thought that his every
moment must have an occupation
Sound for it.
Whatever the pLece, whenev17. the
thne'the tongue, the mind, the feet
and hands must never be still. The
beauty and the blessedness of quiet -
aye, and the vital necessity, too -are
never recognized and conceded. Life
must be krever a rush and a
fret and a fever. In contact with
such a drsturbing incendiary spirit,
one longs fora presence whose cern-
.
trig is tranquility, whose tacit sym-
pathy is a benison, who can afford to
-Utast to Silences Indio than in Um
power of words to convoy. "
Nature did not intend that we
should forever be on the go. Sleep,
solitude and relaxation are of her
•ordainment as certainly as 'vigilance,
associetive toil and strenuous effete,.
They who know how to rest and when
to be still are the ones whose accom-
plishment excels the frantic gyration
of those who hustle without a plan
sase to keep em hustling. ,Those who
'make a -great show of businesaavith
out getting: much done are impatien
with thew who take time to think and
who believe in circumspection before
they leap.
The hasty pluck at the eleeves of
the deliberate and wantto know when
they may expect to see results. They
pretend to put a premium on quick
decision; but, as a matter of fact
they 'never' learned the virtues of pa
tience and precaution, and others
sometimes must pay for their head
long rashness. It le right that those
who get things done should be extolled
when the achievements are -worth
while, but it does not mean nuch to
set in motion any process of produc-
tion without prefiguring the Cost rind
dying to -ascertain the outcome.

WINNIPEG—TE NEW

•
The -largest primary receiving point
Lor furs- in Canada, is the claim now
being put forward by Winnipeg as a
result of the outstanding poeition that
city has recently acquired as a shipper
of rust. Fifty years age the trade of
Winnipeg was largely in furs, but with
the grajhiaLeettlement of the Prairies
and the encroachment of civilization
on the haunts of Wild fur -bearing ani-
mate, agriculture and manufacturing
became of more importance. Of eeeent

tion of fees put up for male is some-
