Lake. Steamers Arrive at Soo
CoveredWith Foot of Ice.
Sault Ste. Marie:. Ont., May' 17.-
One of the worst storms for the month,
of May was expeirienced Saturday
night by boats on Lake Superior,_ The
high northeast winds, accompanied
with "rain and "allow, drove traffic to
hug the north shore route.' Down -
bound steamers reached the : Soo to-
day covered with a foot of ice and
snout. Some of the old-time sailors
had
never experienced -anything':like_
it for this season of the year. '
Fort William, May 17. -This lis-'
trict was visited by falls of snow last
night and thin morning, which put a
damper on the forest fires and placed'
them. under'control. Three aeroplanes
will be here on Monday from the East
to •form an aeroplane lookout base for
forest fires, •which will be established
at Sioux Lookout.
Sarnia, May 17. -Sarnia shivered
in almost a wintry temperature to-
day, in marked contrast to the sum-
mer thunderstorm which passed over
the district Saturday evening. To -day
the' wind blowing from the lakes was
the.coolest for some'weeks. Farmers,
however, were rejoicing at theehelpful
sin of Saturday, and axe now looking
for' sunshine, the lack of which is
proving a detriment to the field and l
garden crops.

RUSH FIRES RAGE IN
DISTRICT
A despatch from Fort William,
Ont., says: --According to reports fil-
tering in to the head of the lakes, an
area of about five thousand square
miles in the sparsely settled region to
the east and west is menaced by for-
est fires. In the burned -out terri-
tories there are the smouldering ruins
of numerous homes that belonged to
hardy settlers, In the Wolf Mountain
and Silver Mountain districts to the
west numerous homes in the clear-
ings have been consumed. One home-
steader, John Crisp, more than sixty
years old, is.believed to have perished
in a fire that swept that district Wed-
nesday and be has not been seen since.
It is believed that he must have been
steeping when the fire carne .toward
bis clearing and that he was unable
to outrun the Haines. While it is pos-
sible that he may have escaped, it is
not considered that the chance is very
bright. With the exception of Mr.

More than one hundred men fought
the encroaching flames with every
conceivable weapon until they were
ready to drop from exhaustion. At
last report it was said that the fire
was under control and the village safe.
The airplane and seaplane forces of
the Forestry Dept. are expected soon
to take vigorous action in "spotting"
fires so that they can be attacked be-
fore they spread to dangerous dimer-
sions. The long spell of dry and sun-
ny, though cold, weather has dried
the forests to tinder. The coolness
has kept the leaves from budding
and the green grass from sprouting
on the meadows, glades and swards.
When the grass becomes green it acts
as a natural deterrent to the progress
of fires.
A despatch from Sault Ste. Marie,
Ont., says: -With the district dry as
tinder, a small number of , bushflees s in

more or less serious fires at many,

of sufficient duration to give much
