FIRST FOREST FIRES
BREAD OUT IN NORTH
Alo!raaa,•
Thunder Bay and
Eastern Manitoba,: Report
Outbreaks.
Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.—A report
from Massey says that the first bush
tree the season started across the
Bauble River, and caused consider-
able' alarm in that -town, which was
filled with smoke. The Forestry De-
partinent at Nairn was notified of
the fire, and, a party of rangers were
sent out immediately to extinguish
it. Three amali bush flees have al-
ready been reported along the A.C.
R., caused by trains, and rangers
have had to extinguish only two fires
in Prince Township, started-,: by
settlers. The bush is very dry.
Fort William, -Several.. forest fires
are raging near here, due to the long -
continued dry spell. The Forestry
Department announces that all forest
fires are under control, -but that rain,
and lots of it, is badly needed.
Winnipeg,—Two seaplanes • have
been rushed to the scene of the for..
est fires which menace wide areas in
the Lae du Bonnet and Grand: Beach
districts of Manitoba. Reports from
the forest patrol indicate that the
fires are being subdued. Rain, which
was fairly general throughoit the
Province, aided the fire-fighters.

detached C d ,
Edward; Islaitd. By the Indians it
was appropriately called '`'Abegweit,"
meaning "Resting on the Wave "
pr.^obably owing to the prevailing
calmness of the surrounding waters
and the serenity of the atmosphere.
Prince' Edward Island is a verit-
ab:e garden country of exquisite pas-
toral , landscapes, magnificent ocean
beaches, splendid country ;roads, ideal
farming acres, a perfect sumuter• cli-
mate, well stocked fishing ponds and
streams, good churches, schools and
-harbors. In fact, the Islanders claim
that they have more postal facilities,
miles of railway, telegraph and tile -
phone lines,- more rural mail routes
and shipping ports per'square mile
than .any other province in Canada.
The first impression of the visitor
are described in a small folder • re-
cently issued by: the Department of
the Interior at Ottawa;
'The 1an,d surface is clothed: by
a seUd.verdure intensely green. The
shores ,red as if freshly painted,
rise irregularly' from the sea in
sandy beaches and sandstone bluffs.
The roads,. which are peculiarly
red, too, meander pleasantly and
lazily over the rolling slopes and
through the valleys. Where the
land has been covered by the fer-
tilizing mussel mud the tiny pieces
of shells ` glisten and glow in the
sunlight like jewelry ablaze:
"It is a miracle of transposition:
Irish turf on DeHon soils under' an
Italian sky!
n "A. well distributed sprinkling of
woodland groves, old-fashioned vil-
lages, stretches of meadow aninar
e red by .fencing, lazy brooks, wan-
dering highways, quaintly colored
shores of terra cotta cliffs and slop-
ing beaches broken and indented
by the irrepressible ocean tides, all
help to form a picture of singular,
r. charm and loveliness, utmost Euro -
d peen in effect."
o Prince Edward Itiland is 115 miles'
n long and from 4 to 3"a miles wide, so
me that from any part ' one is always
within easy reach of the sea, The
unique irregularity of the coast hes
produced' an extraordinary length of
shore line, amounting altogether to
over 1,000 miles. See bathing inay be
enjoyed everywhere.
The ehi,'f industry is agriculture

igiously productive, and of a total

This is not a misnomer, because
Bermuda is a land of unending sun-
