The a]mnsf complete absence of forest fires withtbefr smokescreens marring, scenic effects—the brilliant dearness of the air in this region has mad • the present tourist season the hest on record in Brit- ish Columbia.

Six guests of the Bungalow Camp here brought in 125 pounds of fish yes.. terday. counting a fair number �t four and five -pound trout caught mostly at the entrance to Lak° Polly. Pike and Pickerel still abound in large numbers, so it la thought that (the restoration of the water level rather than the deatrn"- tion of natural enemies has brought back the Nipigon trout.
