Lost in a Blizzard:
Mr. McNaughton in his interesting
letter from Duluth, mentions a sub -
Met, only remembered by the older
generation—that of the' flocks of wile
pigeons—now for many years ex
tinct. The writer can recall one year
- is particular, about 1869 or '70, when
these birds formed a rookery in Col-
borne township, north of Goderich.
During, late spring and early sum-
mer, they built nests and hatched mil-
lions of young. The rookery was a
entre of attraction for utiles. - One
otic{ 'J rdly hear anything but the
•noise of the birds 'which literally fill-
ed the woods. As soon as the young
were able to fly they started on their
�l1rney north and being young, flew
much, lower than the old birds a*,'u so
fell in thousands to the ';ticks thrown
at them in the air Being fat and tend-
er, they vie! a greatly relished.
A most pathetic and heart-rending
story comes from Wapheton, N.
Dakota,_an.afterniath of the late ter-
rible blizzard which swept the conn -
try. John P. Wolfe, farmer, 31 years
of age, with wife and two young chil-
dren, had been visiting the latter's
aged parents, brother and sister. At
8 a.m. in the morning of the 12th,
February, they left in order to drive
home. When scarce more than two
blocks away, without warning, the
fury of the blizzard swept (1ownt or
them. Wolfe turned his horses quick
ly around to drive back to his wife's
parents' home for shelter, but in the
blinding snow, dust and wind, los'
his bearings, further efforts were use
less. Hastily, he covered his wife
and children with whatever blankets
and wraps were available and made
therm lie down in the snow. The
sleigh box was so placed as to pro-
tect them as much as possible from
the fury of the blizzard. The horses
were unhitched. In the meantime
the wife's brother ventured a search
but dared not go far, and returned.
The aged parents were almost frenz-
ied in their anxiety, Thirty-two
hours afterwards they were found,
the heroic father standing upright,
rigid in the snow with arms out-
stretched facing the northwest, with
both arms and feet frozen, face sear-
ed with, frost, protecting, as if it were,
his dear and loved ones. Covered
with the wraps and almost smother-
ed with ice and snow, was found the
mother with one foot and both arms
and both hands frozen, all later to be
amputated; 8cstling in her arms her

1 GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
By W. H. T.
The walking just now is what the
Englishman would alit "beastly." We
would all do well to obey the injunc-
tion of the Good Book: "To ponder
the path of our feet, and iet all our
ways be established." "So that our
footsteps slip not" We long for the
time when the sidewalks will again be
dear.
*s*
The little thaw we had was a good
thing. It turned a considerable por-
tion of the snow into water, which
will run away without over -taxing the
water courses, and will thus lessen
the liability of disastrous floods
later on.

The husband lived several days be-
fore death relieved his sufferings. It
was a sad story, showing humanity's
helplessness at time from the fury of
the elements; a husband's and
father's love and devotion; a mother's
maternal love; aged parents and oth-
er relatives' frenzied anxiety and sus-
pense, unable to render assistance;
and two noble horses refusing to de-
sert their owner in his awful plight.
It is a sad story of terrible suffering;
and heroism, enough to' make an
angel weep.

DRURY'S DOOMSDAY BUDGET:
There was nothing vague or mys-
terious about the way in which
Charles McCrea told the political
fortunes of the government in his
speech on the budget Thursday. Hon,
Peter Smith's budget he described -as
fitting climax to an orgy of spending
unparalleled in the province, and dos-
ing chapter in a financial book which
would go down in history as Drury's
Doomsday Budget. The speaker's
predictions of the government's de-
feat were received with silence on the
U.F.O. side—a silence that presum-
ably gives consent, Mr. McCrea pic-
tured supporters of the administra-
tion going back to their - constituents
and attempting to explain the enor-
mously increased expenditure and
debt of the province, in view of the
professions of economy with which
the U.F.O. party achieved power. He
sail:
"I am not surprised that hon.
members opposite are lying
awake these nights asking how
they are going back on the con-
cession lines and explain to their
constituents there, who listened
to them on their plea of econo-

found .the expenditure since last year
has increased by the enormous
sunt of $8 000.000 for the ordinary
expenditure of this province.
Party newspapers and friends a
year ago were advising a policy
of restraint in expenditure. But
we find through new taxation the
revenues were incerased from
$29,000.000 in 1921 to $38,000.000,
and the expenditure has kept
Old McKillop.
In meditati$e remembrance, I still1
think of the days of long ago, while
a sojourner on Old Huron's soil, and
recall to mind that it would only be
a few weeks now until maple sugar
and syrup -making would bein full
swing, and ohl the delicious taste of
the same. I yet see the saucy and
mocking red .squirrel sipping sweet
maple sap from trough, pail, dish or
pan, and the somewhat timid chip-
munk doing the same. Again, I see
the beautiful black squirrel : running
up a tree and placing a limb between
between his body and the ground and
the human spectator, for safety's
sake, especially if a shotgun is
around. - Instinct warns them of dan-
ger. Again, I hear the cawing of the
crow, bedecked in his apparel of shin-
ing black, and also see the barnyard
marauder, the hawk circling the skies.
A robin red breast's plaintive notes

chorus of thousands of frogs, in joyful'
melody in being released from win- I

several days and nights, revives my
remembrance of days long gone by.
But generally speaking, several so-
called frog storms took place, being
falls of snow accompanied by freez- )
Mg weather which dampened their ar-
pace. All this enormous auionnt mm
wiht the exception of the so-call-
ed.. surplus, has been expended,
Where has been the restraint in
natters of expenditure of the
people's .money? This sum. of
$8,000,000 over last year is some-
thing that hon. members .op'pos-
ite will find requires a great deal
of explaining. Debt,'in the men -

—they have a grip on him, but
are afraid to let go."

For: many years we have heard
that in various parts of Ontario there
are extensive bogs of peat; and we
have wondered that more was not be-
ing done to obtain from them that
fuel which we so much need; but we
are glad to be able to say that our
Provincial government has been
quietly but energetically moving in
the matter. A committee of experts
has been conducting experiments
with peat manufacturing machinery.
It is evident that vast quantities of
peat will be required if it is to re-
place to any considerable extent the
use of coal, and in order to manufac-
ture these vast quantities very good
machinery will be required.
The experts have been operating
with two different plants with the
view of determining the capability of
each. The two plants are the Moore
and the Anrtip. The result of the
trials has been to show that each
plantpossesses some good features,
as. Well as some features that might
be improved. ` The ultimate result
will doubtless be the production of a
plant that will combine the good qua-
lities of the Moore and the Anrup,
and the elimination of the defective
features of each. We hope the corning
season will see machinery in opera-
tion:that will tarn otit peat in great
quantities.
